Spears added, “If you’re so entitled and perfect why would you even care if someone is experimenting with apps on their phone??? Why even bring it up??? If you’re so much better than that??? But are you?? ? Come on!!!”

Last month, a source told PEOPLE exclusively that Spears is “in great spirits despite everything going on” amid her divorce from Sam Asghari.

“Obviously it’s never easy to go through, but she’s staying positive and focused on the future,” the insider added.

According to documents previously obtained by PEOPLE, Asghari cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the divorce in the divorce petition and includes July 28 as the separation date.
