Britney Spears appeared to break her silence on the recent legal saga with her estranged father, Jamie Spears.
In a since-deleted topless photo shared on social media, Spears first discussed receiving acupuncture for nerve damage in her back before criticizing family members just days after finally settling the controversial conservatorship case in which her dad essentially controlled her financial and personal matters for 13 years.
The court-order successfully ended on Nov. 12, 2021, but an outstanding dispute over Jamie's request for Spears to pay his legal fees ended Friday. Details surrounding the case were not made public.

She added, "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 !!! I am so lucky to be here!!!"
Spears, 42, alluded to the fact that she still hasn't had a conversation with her mother or father for safety reasons.
