Seven weeks after the debut of the documentary Framing Britney Spears, the singer responded. On Tuesday, she posted a twirling video to the Aerosmith song, “Crazy.”
Britney wrote how she’s watched only snippets of the documentary, which streams at FX on Hulu. She added (quote) “I was embarrassed by the light they put me in. I cried for two weeks. I still cry sometimes!!”
It appears that Britney agrees with the documentary’s thesis. She wrote at Instagram (quote) “I have been exposed my whole life. I’ve always been so judged… insulted… and embarrassed by the media… and I still am till this day.”
Britney had a thought for those who have critiqued her dancing. Perhaps a direct response to Dance Mom alum Abby Lee Miller (quote) “Every day dancing brings me joy!!! I’m not here to be perfect … perfect is boring … I’m here to pass on kindness.” (Billboard)

Coldplay are helping to bring cleaner water to the Southeast Asian country of Malaysia by “adopting” a ship.
They’ve teamed with a non-profit called The Ocean Cleanup, which develops advanced technologies to rid the seas of plastic, and will sponsor a newly invented “river interceptor” called Neon Moon 1, which collects plastic before it reaches the oceans.
The organization expects to eventually have river interceptors operating in 1000 rivers globally.

Jonas, who had previously coached in Season 18, returned in Season 20 to replace Gwen Stefani. Season 21 will air in the fall.
