Britney took to Instagram on Thursday to address her fans following her court appearance on Wednesday.
Alongside a photo that shared a quote from Albert Einstein, the singer wrote: “I just want to tell you guys a little secret 
.
“I believe as people we all want the fairy tale life and by the way I’ve posted … my life seems to look and be pretty amazing … I think that’s what we all strive for !!!”
She continued: “That was one of my mother’s best traits … no matter how sh**ty a day was when I was younger … for the sake of me and my siblings she always pretended like everything was ok.
“I’m bringing this to peoples attention because I don’t want people to think my life is perfect because IT’S DEFINITELY NOT AT ALL … and if you have read anything about me in the news this week 
… you obviously really know now it’s not !!!!”
Britney then apologized to her supporters, writing: “I apologize for pretending like I’ve been ok the past two years … I did it because of my pride and I was embarrassed to share what happened to me … but honestly who doesn’t want to capture there Instagram in a fun light 
!!!!
“Believe it or not pretending that I’m ok has actually helped … so I decided to post this quote today because by golly if you’re going through hell.
“I feel like Instagram has helped me have a cool outlet to share my presence … existence … and to simply feel like I matter despite what I was going through and hey it worked.
The Toxic singer concluded: “So I’ve decided to start reading more fairy tales 
!!!!!”
Many fans took to the comments section of the post to speculate that Britney doesn’t run her own Instagram account, as one person wrote: “We know it isn’t britney who typed this.”
Other comments claiming the singer was not the author of the post appeared to be quickly deleted.
One indicator that the post may not have come directly from the singer is that she complimented her mother Lynne, who she threatened to sue alongside her other family members just one day ago in court.
Back in March, Britney’s former makeup artist Billy Brasfield told Page Six he personally spoke to the singer and she told him she had no control over the captions of her Instagram posts.
Billy told the outlet of her posts: “The content is her, but … the words are NOT how she feels.”
Yesterday, the singer made a number of shocking claims during the hearing, including that her family sent her to a $60K rehab at a small Los Angeles home.
Britney claimed the people that ran the rehab center were trying to hurt her, while her dad allegedly “loved it.”
She also compared the “abusive” conservatorship to sex trafficking, stating: “In California, the only similar thing to this is called sex trafficking, making anyone work against their will.
“And taking all their possessions away, credit card, cash, phone, passport.
Britney also criticized her family on how they have handled her conservatorship, stating: “My family didn’t do a God damn thing. Anything I had to do, [my dad] was the one who approved all of it. My whole family did nothing.”

Additionally, the Toxic singer shared she wants to have children with her boyfriend Sam.
However, she said her conservatorship prevents her from growing her family.
The singer said via audio: “I want to get married and have a baby. I wanted to take the IUD out and have a baby but conservator won’t let me because they don’t want me to have a baby.”
