Britney Spears has publicly called out her youngest son Jayden, 15, after he and his brother Sean Preston, 16, commented on their mum's recent behaviour.
In a three-minute long audio recording, that has since been deleted from her Instagram account, Britney addressed her estranged son and criticised him for 'undermining' her, 'just like my whole family.'
The singer shares sons Jayden and Sean Preston with her ex-husband Kevin Federline, who has 70 per cent custody of the teens.

In their first public appearance since their mum was released from her conservatorship, Jayden said that he wanted Britney to "get better mentally", adding: "When she gets better, I really want to see her again."
Jayden also said that his grandfather, Jamie Spears, 'doesn't deserve all the hatred he is getting in the media.'
Clearly disappointed by her children's comments, Britney issued her own response, telling them: "It saddens me not one of you has valued me as a person."
In the three-minute recording, she said: "So Jayden, as you undermine my behaviour, just like my whole family always has, with; 'I hope she gets better', 'I'll pray for her'... Pray for what?"
The 'Baby One More Time' singer then asked: "Do you guys want me to get better so I can continue giving your dad 40 grand a month? Or is the reasoning behind you guys deciding to be hateful because it's actually over in two years and you don't get anything?"
Thinking back to when she used to see her sons more regularly, she recalled: "You and your brother left me in that house... Preston would sleep, you would play the piano the whole time.
"If I didn't shower you guys with gifts and have amazing food ready and play a motherf***ing saint... it was still never good enough.
"The one time I said - I looked you straight in your eyes - and said: 'I want to see you more', you called your dad. I never saw you again."
She went on to compare Jayden to her father, telling him: "You were just like my other family."
The pop legend continued: "You secretly loved looking at me like something was wrong with me.
"I didn't need a family hiding s**t in houses and whispering s**t behind my back, feeling subconsciously guilty because I paid for every f***ing thing in both homes. I needed unconditional love and support."
Britney concluded the speech by stating that her father should "be in jail for the rest of his life" and that, after all she has been through, she no longer believes in God.
"But, like I said, God would not allow that to happen to me if a god existed", she said.
"I don't believe in God anymore because of the way my children and my family have treated me. There is nothing to believe anymore. I'm an atheist, ya'll."
