Britney Spears says she is being “bullied” over her Instagram posts. The pop singer, 38, said social media trolls had been criticising the pictures she shares, accusing her of wearing the same white bathing suit and repeatedly using a red background. Spears, who frequently posts inspirational quotes, workout videos and selfies with boyfriend Sam Asghari, said reading “mean” comments “really hurts my feelings”. She wrote: “And I wanted to share because you really shouldn’t be saying all of these mean things to someone you don’t even know … this goes for bullying anyone really !!!!!! “Hard times like we are currently living through should really teach us to be nice to one another … !!!!!!” Spears then addressed people who were “offended” by a recent post about one of her horses. She said: “I think it’s important to see things that bring happiness during hard times and making light of a situation can sometimes help people!!!! I love you all … stay safe … and be nice!!!!!”
