Britney Spears has broken her silence on Instagram, explaining to fans why she has stayed away from the spotlight for so long. Breaking her silence today, Spears took to Instagram to assure fans she's "taking the time to learn and be a normal person." The documentary, titled Framing Britney Spears, was released over the weekend and has led many celebrities - including Sarah Jessica Parker, Bette Midler and Khloe Kardashian - to voice their support for Britney and the #FreeBritney movement, which calls for Britney Spears to be freed from her father's legal conservatorship. Britney's father, Jamie Spears, has legal control of her affairs, having been assigned conservatorship when the star experienced her highly public breakdown in 2008. At a court hearing last year, Britney Spear's lawyer, Samuel D Ingham III, claimed Spears had become afraid of her father and wanted him removed for her conservatorship entirely after he allegedly hired a new manager without consulting her.
