Britney Spears fans are concerned about the topless photos being posted on the American singer’s Instagram account. On Saturday, for the fourth time in a week, a photo of Spears bare-chested and in only shorts appeared. According to some fans, this is happening against her will.

“I get the feeling that these photos are private and being shared without her permission,” one person wrote. Many fans react critically, especially under the last topless photo. Some speculate that someone other than the singer also gained access to the account. “I believe these photos are not being posted by her.”

‘Shared without permission’

Spears himself writes a number of emojis with the half-naked photos. Fans notice that the images were probably all taken in the same photo shoot. “Something suspicious is going on,” someone responds.

The topless photos follow an intense period for the singer, known for pop hits such as Toxic and Gimme More. Spears first spoke out last month about the thirteen-year receivership that started when she was admitted to a psychiatric institution in 2008. The singer started legal proceedings against her father in 2019. During a hearing of the case, she indicated that she felt like a slave to her supervisors, especially her father Jamie Spears.

After Paris Hilton (40) previously announced that the pregnancy rumors that were going around about her were not true, she went on to discuss the role the media play when it comes to reporting about women in an interview with ‘Variety’. The socialite says she is happy to tell her own story, because she has become used to the media ‘twisting everything’.

“The standard has always been different and that is not right”

“When I started in the entertainment industry I had no control over anything. I immediately noticed that men were treated differently by women, I was always ‘attacked’ about the boyfriends I had while male colleagues were applauded when they had a new girlfriend. The standard has just always been different and that’s not right,” said Paris.

Paris found it “extremely painful” to read false pregnancy rumors about herself and then receive hundreds of messages from friends and fans about it. “It is beyond words that people send messages like this into the world without thinking about what it can do to someone. Especially when it comes to something as personal as a pregnancy. After all these years I really don’t look up anymore a gossip about myself here and there, but this is going too far. My mother Kathy has always said not to go into stories, but this time I won’t shut up.”

She continues: “So many articles about women in the industry have been written that are not true, which makes me extra happy with my podcast where I can tell my truth. Social media has also strengthened the reach of women, because they themselves are word instead of tabloids. So change is happening, but we’re not there yet. The media really needs to take a different approach to women and treat them the way they treat men.”
