Britney Spears' mother, Lynne, spoke out about a fan conspiracy theory regarding the "Toxic" singer's Instagram comments.
Fan account @BritneyDotCom posted a comment alleging that Spears' team deletes positive comments but leaves negative comments visible "to keep up the illusion that she needs help!" The account added (via Entertainment Tonight), "How much longer is this going to be?!? This has to be human rights violation!!!! #FreeBritney."
Lynne left a comment of her own seeming to confirm the fan account's suspicions, writing, "I can’t believe u just posted this because I had a friend tell me the same thing! I posted something and tried to go back and find it and none of it is in order and I couldn’t find mine, which I JUST POSTED??? I know you are a true fan and love her so thank you for pointing this out because I have had others say the same."

"I don't want her to work again 'till she's ready, physically, mentally and passionately," Rudolph said. "If that time never comes again it will never come again. I have no desire or ability to make her work again. I am only here for her when she wants to work. And, if she ever does want to work again, I'm here to tell her if it's a good idea or a bad idea."
