Chattanooga, Tennessee—(Wise Brother)

Britney Spears posted one of her trademark sexy dance videos over the weekend, and dropped some word salad in the caption that counts as her first public comment on her impending divorce.

She said, quote, “6 years is a long time to be with someone so, I’m a little shocked but . . . I’m not here to explain why because it’s honestly nobody’s business!!! But, I couldn’t take the pain anymore honestly!!!”

She added, quote, “I’ve been playing it strong for way too long and my Instagram may seem perfect but it’s far from reality and I think we all know that!!!

“I would love to show my emotions and tears on how I really feel but [for] some reason I’ve always had to hide my weaknesses!!! If I wasn’t my dad’s strong soldier, I would be sent away to places to get fixed by doctors!!! But that’s when I needed family the most!!!”

She also assured her fans that she’s, quote, “actually doing pretty damn good.” (And, as if to drive that point home, she posted a new topless video. And here she is horsing around with a bunch of guys.) (???)
