‘I’ve probably studied human emotion more than anyone on the planet and have been a person that was studied and analyzed like a science lab against my will so I find this pretty exceptional viewing the data !!!’ she continued.
‘We all have our inner subconscious thoughts and some are better suited to hide those emotions or weakness !!!’ and added that, ‘Most of them live in Los Angeles they are called actors and actresses ….’

Statement: ‘We all have our inner subconscious thoughts and some are better suited to hide those emotions or weakness !!!’ and added that, ‘Most of them live in Los Angeles they are called actors and actresses’
Britney candidly expressed, ‘I wear my heart on my sleeve and I’ve had to learn the hard way … but I do know what it’s like to feel tormented … bullied … and completely humiliated.’
The singer stated that she was speaking out on the topic because ‘when it comes to emotion, there really is no explaining it !!! It’s honestly beautiful but abuse on top of it … that’s where it gets a little more serious !!!’
‘Is it a big deal ??? 100 percent it’s a big deal !!!’ she wrote, and later added, ‘you would think the person who caused the emotional turmoil would be the one of guilt…’
‘Even when some victims actually did take their own lives, the person who caused it got away with it never even shows a sign of remorse at all !!!’
‘I believe those people are actors and live in Los Angeles !!! I will just say it … I have a pretty home in Los Angeles,’ she wrote and admitted, ‘but the people scare me there and always have !!!’
‘Maybe I should take an acting class and not be so serious with my real emotions !!! Maybe I’m wrong but I’d rather be wrong than give my lips and smile to someone who isn’t even qualified to go two feet near me !!!’ Spears concluded.
Her lengthy statement comes shortly after Timbaland issued an apology to the pop star after he said Justin Timberlake should ‘put a muzzle’ on her in the wake of her scathing portrayal of the singer in her memoir, The Woman In Me.
In the book, she opened about her relationship with the Mirrors hitmaker and also claimed that he had convinced her to have an abortion due to him not being ‘ready’ to be a father.
