Britney Spears says she 'cried for 2 weeks' after watching parts of the new documentary about her life

• Britney Spears just made the first direct mention of Hulu's "Framing Britney Spears" documentary.
• "I was embarrassed by the light they put me in," Spears said in reference to unspecified bits of it.
• The Instagram caption says she didn't watch the whole thing, but that she "cried for two weeks."

Britney Spears just made direct reference to February's premiere of "Framing Britney Spears," a Hulu and New York Times documentary episode all about the pop star's rise to fame and eventual placement into a legal conservatorship.

"I didn't watch the documentary but from what I did see of it I was embarrassed by the light they put me in," Spears wrote as part of a lengthy caption on a new Instagram post. "I cried for two weeks and well .... I still cry sometimes!!!!"

The post's caption, which was shared on Tuesday evening to Spears' 29 million Instagram followers, opened with this line: "My life has always been very speculated ... watched ... and judged really my whole life!!!"

She went on to say that she needs to dance to Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler's music every night for her "sanity." The accompanying video shows Spears dancing to the 1994 Aerosmith song "Crazy."

"Framing Britney Spears" reignited interest in a movement known as #FreeBritney, in which the singer's fans are hoping to get her out of the current legal conservatorship controlling her estate and assets. Just last week, Spears' lawyer filed a request to the judge overseeing her case, asking that her father Jamie Spears be permanently removed from his current role in the conservatorship.

On March 2, Jamie's lawyer gave a new statement to CNN about Britney Spears' conservatorship. "Whether or not there is an end to the conservatorship really depends on Britney," the lawyer said.

"Jamie believes every single decision he has made has been in her best interest," she added.

The "Framing Britney Spears" documentary episode charts the sexism Spears faced throughout her career, particularly during interviews with major media outlets.

Britney's Instagram post is the first time the singer has alluded to seeing its contents.

Though some people have speculated that Spears isn't actually writing her own Instagram captions, her social media manager denied that theory in February.
