Britney Spears says there's a reason her Instagram looks more rebellious in recent years ... tracing it back to an alleged theft at her home that she says left her feeling violated and completely powerless.

The pop star unloaded in a lengthy post Sunday ... claiming 3 years ago coats, jewelry, and roughly half her wardrobe disappeared from her home. Britney says the response she got afterward was essentially that nothing could be done ... and she says that experience hit her harder than people realized.

According to Britney, the alleged theft "100 percent hurt" her emotionally and left her feeling helpless. She says, looking back now, the incident may have fueled the version of herself fans have seen online ever since ... admitting she "100 percent rebelled" on IG and probably came across as "cheap and probably secretly angry."

But she's also plenty pissed with Tyler for her children being overexposed to the world with the viral video, which is a big problem for her as a protective mama.

D4vd's former friend Aysia Collins is slamming the alleged killer and firing back at folks online who claim she's cosplaying and mocking Celeste Rivas.

Kyle clarified ... "I was feeling emo and always planned sharing the cover photo because it DID feel like the end of an era, which is why everyone else was so emotional saying their goodbyes on the finale. Sorry everyone!"

Brian Austin Green doesn't have to fight the temptation to double-tap his ex Megan Fox's sexy pics online ... telling us he's happy in his relationship instead of pining for his former flame.

We got the actor at LAX on Thursday ... and we had to ask him about falling into the trap so many people online do ... gawking at Megan's bod when she shares sexy snaps.
