Britney Spears has been active on social media since the Framing Britney Spears documentary was released and has often left fans baffled at her posts.
But some people have speculated whether she actually writes them and speculation was rife following a post on Tuesday in which the star claimed to be "embarrassed" by the documentary and said she cried for two weeks after its release.
And now her former makeup artist Billy Brasfield has claimed to Page Six that Britney has personally told him she had no control over the caption.
The MUA said: "The content is her, but … the words are NOT how she feels."
In the post, Britney wrote: "I didn’t watch the documentary but from what I did see of it I was embarrassed by the light they put me in … I cried for two weeks and well …. I still cry sometimes!"
Billy, who worked with Britney on The X Factor in 2012 as well as on the Scream and Shout video in 2013, said he "immediately knew it was not her".
He added: "What was upsetting [about the post] - it was basically a narrative denouncing her fans and the Free Britney movement and people now taking a very conscious look at the facts and what is going on.
"Although it might be complicated for her, of course she is invested. It’s her life.
"She does not like being a victim, she never wanted to be a victim and doesn’t see herself as a victim. She sees herself as a survivor and has navigated this with patience and strategy."
The makeup artist to the stars also revealed he doesn't think Britney is "fragile".
Instead, he believes that the post was shared by others in an attempt to distract people from the current goings-on in court surrounding the singer's financial matters and conservatorship.
