New fears for fragile Britney: Terrifying testimony of family member about felon boyfriend as she urges star to 'run away'... and why insiders say she's 'unravelling' and #FreeBritney was a terrible mistake

Even by Britney Spears ' standards, the video, posted on her beloved Instagram this week, is bizarre. A new addition to her cast list takes it into more disturbing territory.

While fans have grown used to seeing the star cavorting semi-dressed around her home, a new addition to her cast list takes it into more disturbing territory: a tall, gangly teenager, dressed in a white Muhammad Ali t-shirt, sunglasses and beanie hat, and seated at a grand piano. The two were reunited at Christmas after more than two years of estrangement, following her release from a 13-year ‘conservatorship’ order – put in place chiefly by her father as she struggled with severe mental health issues that once saw her forcibly committed to a psychiatric hospital. The social media posts have led many to ask whether #FreeBritney – the global movement to extricate the star from the legal order which placed the management of her entire life, including her $60million fortune, into the hands of her father – was a terrible mistake.
