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!!!"
