Britney Spears has a message for gossip website TMZ following their recent documentary of her life, post-conservatorship. Taking to her Instagram account yesterday, Spears, 41, called them the "trashiest news channel."

The "Hold Me Closer" singer discussed the aftermath she endured during her 13-year conservatorship. She made it clear that she has worked hard "everyday to be a better person since it’s been over." Spears sarcastically commended TMZ's "concern and just effort" adding, "Damn I'm flattered!!! These men who I have no idea who they are, are talking about me as if they have any right at all to do so!!!"

Clearing the Air

Spears has often called out the media coverage and paparazzi. In her Thursday post, she called out the media's "cruel" treatment towards her. Britney wanted to comment because "some people" might believe her and she cares. "I almost feel like my life in the business has always been that girl at school who was bullied and laughed at," she continued. "But in my case there is no superior person to set it straight!!!"

She called out her father, Jamie Spears, who was in charge of her conservatorship. Though he was "supposed to protect" his daughter's "mind and heart from things of this matter," he was "secretly loving it." As we previously reported, Britney is working on a memoir. She gave her 42 million followers an update on the status of her book, which she initially said would be finished last year. "I’ve had to stop a couple of times !!! It may take me a year, maybe longer who knows … to share my story !!!"
