Spears, 38, whose business and personal affairs
have been controlled by her father since 2008, posted an
Instagram video in which she addressed persistent reports that
she was not doing well.
"I know that there have been a lot of comments and a lot of
people saying a lot of different things about me, but I just
want to let you guys know that I am fine," the singer said in
the video on Monday.
"I'm the happiest I've ever been in my life," she added.
A small but vocal group of fans has launched a #FreeBritney
campaign that seeks to end a court-ordered conservatorship that
was put in place after Spears suffered a mental breakdown some
12 years ago.
They believe the "Womanizer" singer is being kept prisoner in
her Los Angeles area home and that she is sending cryptic
signals begging to be freed through her social media accounts,
which usually consist of selfies or dancing.
Other fans have expressed alarm about repeated Instagram
postings of the same photos, apparently taken years ago.
Spears revived her pop career after her breakdown but briefly
entered a mental health facility last year and has not performed
publicly since October 2018.
