Since her conservatorship ended, Britney Spears has been both lauded and criticized for her explicit social media posts.

Some fans have voiced concern for the pop star while many others have enthusiastically come out in support.

This week, Spears shared on Instagram a full-body nude image of herself lying on a Mexico beach with little more than a straw hat on with flowers covering her nipples and lower body.

On one side, there are comments like, “Just stop, this is private pictures that shouldn’t be shared with the entire world” and “this isn’t necessary. You’ll regret it.”

On the other side, some fans have offered words of encouragement. “Taking back your sexuality after being censored for years and having everyone sexualise you,” wrote one. “That’s power Brit! 100% support from my end, you do you, my love!”

Another Instagram user wrote, “I’m so glad you’re finally free and have the freedom to post this kind of content.”

Last month, her sons and ex-husband Kevin Federline began to distance themselves from Spears.

“It’s tough. I can’t imagine how it feels to be a teenager having to go to high school,” Federline said.

Spear’s youngest son, Jayden, spoke out about the nude photos, admitting to understanding why his mother would feel the need to express herself though also added that he wanted her to stop posting explicit images.

“This has gone on for years and years and years and there’s a high chance that this will never stop but I’m hoping for me that she will stop,” he told ITV.

Jayden insisted that his mother has to “come to the realization of whatever it is that stops her from loving her family. It’s almost like she has to post something on Instagram to get some attention.”

Federline also said much of the same, trying to give some leeway on the nude photos but coming to the conclusion.

“I try to explain to them, ‘Look, maybe that’s just another way she tries to express herself.’ But that doesn’t take away from the fact of what it does to them,” he said.

Federline has said in the past that the conservatorship may have been in Spears’ best interest.

Spear’s current husband, actor Sam Asghari, has come to the star’s defense.

“Even if there was truth to her kids being ashamed of their mothers’ choices and positive body image, they wouldn’t be the 1st teenagers embarrassed of their parents,” the actor wrote in an Instagram post.

Asghari called the nude photos “harmless” and says that the two sons will understand that their mother uses these photos as an “expression of a newly found freedom. There is nothing to be embarrassed about just lots of things to be proud of ❤️🙏.”

Spears has posted multiple nude photos and many dance videos in recent months.

She recently said in a post that she hopes her dad Jamie “burns in hell.”
