Britney Spears' return to X-rated pole dancing shows she'll always be 'unapologetically herself', an expert has revealed.
The 41-year-old faced cruel comments when she posted a video on Instagram of her dancing around a pole at her lavish home in Thousands Oaks, Los Angeles, with many fans concerned over her behaviour following the end of her controversial conservatorship in 2021.
Dressed in an animal print bikini with matching gloves, Britney writhed around the pole as the Nine Inch Nails track Closer played in the background, and captioned the clip: “Got this pole two days ago and last night was my first time on it.”
The Womaniser hitmaker threw her long blonde hair around as she straddled the pole, and fans were given a 360 degree view of her show as the room Britney was dancing in had mirrors all around.

However, her loyal fans defended the Toxic hitmaker, with one commenting: “Let the woman be,” as another chimed in: “She should be able to express her authentic self without judgement.”
PR expert Matt Yanofsky believes Britney’s pole dancing video is a sign she’s gone back to her roots - as the singer was known for including pole dancing routines in her performances - and her free spirited routine on social media should be celebrated.

The X-rated video was a sign that Britney was back to doing what she loves (@britneyspears/instagram)“Britney Spears danced like this throughout the peak of her career, it's part of who she is. She always was a ven diagram for porn culture and popular culture. That's always been the core to her success,” he explained.
“It may not help with brand deals though, because she'll be seen as a risk, but does she need brands? She's Britney, b*tch! At this point, like her or hate her, Britney will be unapologetically herself and as a brand you know who you'd be getting in bed with should you engage her services,” he added.
As well as sharing racy videos on social media, Britney is reportedly gearing up for a tell-all interview with chat show icon Oprah Winfrey, as the pop star prepares to release her explosive memoir, The Woman in Me.
