Ever since Britney Spears was freed from her 13-year conservatorship, her Instagram page has been filled with her unfiltered thoughts and content. The 41-year-old often posts videos of her dancing in her underwear or photos of her wearing nothing at all. The only thing covering her up are some perfectly placed emojis from getting the photos taken down by Instagram.

Now, with the recent release of her tell-all memoir, The Woman In Me, the "Work Bitch" singer has revealed why she posts so many nude pictures on the social media site. The pop princess regained control over her own life and her social media account at the end of 2021. While her posts come off as strange at times, the mother of two explains in her book that she gets “joy” from being in control over her own body and image.

She writes: “I know that a lot of people don’t understand why I love taking pictures of myself naked or in new dresses. But I think if they’d been photographed by other people thousands of times, prodded and posed for other people’s approval, they’d understand that I get a lot of joy from posting the way I feel sexy and taking my own picture.”

This isn't the first time Brit has addressed her nude posts on social media. Shortly after her conservatorship ended, she captioned a since-deleted topless post: "Before I show you more pics of my body … I want you to understand my thoughts on exposing my skin!!!! In my opinion, it’s quite twisted the immediate response of when any woman is hot and they want to shed a layer … no … I’m not talking in a strip club or a performance … just on a practical scale of being in your car and realizing you’re wearing a stupid long sleeve shirt in the summer!!!! The immediate reaction to any woman who does this after shedding a layer is DAMN I FEEL BETTER … therefore you think you look better!!!"
