Britney Spears has claimed she wasn't allowed to "drive herself" at times during her conservatorship.
The 40-year-old singer regained control of her assets in November last year when a conservatorship was terminated by a Los Angeles court, and the 'Toxic' hitmaker has told how she had up to eight different male guards who used to drive her around during her 13 years as a conservatee.
She wrote on Instagram: "I guess when you're the type of person who finally starts to speak up ... people don't like you anymore !!!!
"You have to understand I haven't had a girl in the car with me for a while !!!! I used to not be able to drive myself even with 8 different guards driving me daily !!!! Each one a different speed and I'm the one that had to adjust to THEIR TIMING IN MY F****** CAR ... not to mention ... the four months I wasn't able to drive at all or walk out the f****** door by myself !!!!
"Anyways I've mostly had men at my wheel ... so messed up ... besides the one time my cousin flew to see me and we had the crippling sad conversation of PLANS ... I mean had NONE ... I couldn't even go to the spa!!! (sic)"
Britney went for lunch with her assistant earlier this week and admitted that was the first time a woman has been in her car for "a long time".
She added: "So anyways ... me and my assistant went for lunch yesterday... the first time a girl has been in my car in a long time and I'm not sure what happened but I could HEAR !!!! Maybe I need to get my ears checked or maybe women have a stronger sense than men but whatever happened I heard music ... for the first time I could even hear the words with clarity ... anyways it was pretty cool !!! (sic)"
Britney - who has sons Sean, 16, and Jayden, 15 - also admitted she learned to love animals during her conservatorship.
She added: "I've learned the selfishness of people like there's no tomorrow .... in conjunction with all of this I realized one thing and one thing only will say it again learn to love animals !!!!! Pssss ... I forgot I did have one cool visitor who was a girl that visited me ... we rode around the neighborhood !!!! (sic)"
