Aubrey O\u2019Day is taking issue with the #FreeBritney movement, the fan-led conspiracy theory that claims Britney Spears is trapped in a conservatorship against her will.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Day, 36,\u00a0tweeted on Thursday, \u201cI\u2019m having a hard time believing Britney\u2019s dad has her held prisoner in front of random yellow walls making her talk nonsense w retainers in like the last video she posted. is there no possibility that she is sincerely sick & this movement is fans that can\u2019t come to terms w that?\u201d<\/p>\n
The Danity Kane singer was referencing a video Spears, 38,\u00a0posted on Instagram\u00a0on Thursday, in which she answered questions like what is her favorite Disney movie, while standing in front of a yellow backdrop.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnswering some more of your questions,\u201d the \u201cToxic\u201d singer captioned the clip. \u201cPs if I sound like I have a lisp it\u2019s because I just got a retainer\u00a0\u00a0!!!!\u201d<\/p>\n
In response to O\u2019Day\u2019s tweet, one Spears super-fan wrote, \u201cHaving mental health issues does not warrant someone being stripped of their human rights jfc. The way y\u2019all are actually further stigmatizing mental illness by assuming that it\u2019s ok for people like her to have their freedom stripped from them says quite a lot about you, not her.\u201d<\/p>\n
In response to some of the criticism, O\u2019Day clarified in a series of tweets that she recognized the damaging role the music industry can play on an artist\u2019s mental health.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was in a group with a few artists who admit they weren\u2019t built for this industry, and much of it hurt them deeply,\u201d\u00a0she tweeted. \u201cI just think turning her obvious mental health issues into a conspiracy prison isn\u2019t helping her or others in this place.<\/p>\n\n
