Britney Spears deletes Instagram hours after emotional rant about family 'hurting' her

Britney Spears abruptly deactivated her Instagram account after a lengthy post about being "hurt" by her family.

The 42-year-old singer took to social media on Sunday morning shortly after the announcement that she had settled her legal battle with her father, Jamie Spears, over the possible mishandling of her controversial conservatorship.

According to the settlement, Britney will have to pay her father's legal fees, estimated at $2 million (about £1.5 million) - and Jamie will not pay a penny.

Britney appeared to address the years-long legal battle in the lengthy caption of an Instagram snap of her wearing nothing but a black lace thong, claiming there was "no justice" and describing the "hurt" caused by her family.

Shortly after uploading the post, Britney deleted her entire account without warning.

This isn't the first time Britney has deactivated her Instagram account. She has done it several times this year, including last month after a series of cryptic posts hitting out at her critics.

She has since returned to the social media platform with new posts of her dogs and a horseriding session.

On Sunday, in what would be her final post before she deactivated her account, the pop icon opened up about her struggles with back pain and then took a sharp turn to address deep-seated family issues.

She began: "My family hurt me!!! There has been no justice and probably never will be!!! The people who sat and did absolutely nothing when they did that for four months are smooth sailing."

Britney then appeared to target her parents, lamenting the irony of their teachings versus their actions.

"The way I was brought up I was always taught the formative of right and wrong but the very two people who brought me up with that method hurt me!!!" she wrote. "I am so lucky to be here!!!"

The star went on to admit she feels unable to confront her family directly, stating: "It's funny 'cus till this very day I haven't told them face to face!!!

"I text through IG but I honestly believe it will not be so safe if I ever did go face to face so!!! The child in me knows they would be destroyed and that's basically it!!!"

In concluding her extensive caption, Britney expressed nostalgia for her roots, saying: "I do miss my home in Louisiana and I wish I could visit but they took everything!!!"
