Britney Spears is setting the record straight after receiving backlash for remarks made about Christina Aguilera.
The Pop superstars have seen their narratives intertwined ever since they first hit the scene two decades ago and the headlines are persisting this week after a comment the ‘Overprotected’ singer made was perceived as shade towards her peer.
Full story below…
The drama started when Spears took to Instagram yesterday to bemoan the control she allegedly experienced:
“I wish I could have chosen the nannies for my children … my dancers … I mean if I had Christina Aguilera’s dancers I would have looked extremely small 💃💃💃… I mean why not talk about it ?? Don’t you think my confidence would have been a bit better if I could choose where I lived, ate, whom I called on the phone, dated and who was on stage with me !!! It’s hard sometimes now I see how much of my womanhood was stripped away at that time and every person sat back and didn’t say a thing !!! Anyways … I will be here talking bout things people NEVER talked about 🙄🙄🙄 !!!”
Spears received backlash aplenty from many who felt she was body shaming either Xtina (who allegedly unfollowed her on Instagram) or the diva’s dancers.
Addressing the matter, the 40-year-old wrote moments ago:
“By no means was I being critical of Christina’s beautiful body, it is what it is !!! I flew to see her show once and the main thing I noticed was the difference of our people on stage !!! By no means did I even mention Christina, look at my post !!! I was inspired by her show and she is a beautiful woman of power … Thank you @xtina for inspiring me !!!
To be honest, I’m not trying to be critical of anybody. What I posted is a projection of the insecurities I deal with all the time as a result of how my parents and the media have treated me … I would never intentionally body shame anybody because I know what it feels like … I struggle with this because of how I feel about myself, not because I hate how anybody looks … I feel like my family knew I was insecure and people were trying to purposefully feed into this insecurity by not letting me have a choice in the people who were on stage with me. I appreciate you all being understanding with me as I figure out this new life I’m living !!!”
The episode comes amidst Spears turning the volume up on the hardships she faced while in her now-terminated conservatorship and hitting back at her ex-husband Kevin Federline and her teenage sons – both of whom sat down for tell-all interviews about her.
Work together already!
Crackhead queen 🤪
Drop your addy.
Her psychotic rant just bores me to tears. Just hope somebody f*cks sense into her f*ckin worn out large c*** Lmao!
We love you, Britney!!!!!! ❤️
Look ppl still in shock over PnB rock death.
Your struggles are not an excuse to step on others’ toes tho Britney. I hope this serves as a lesson cause last year she was tryna drag Xtina publicly for something her dumb ass publicist said on a red carpet and now look at how the tables have turned… please log off for a minute and go to therapy
STFU. This is the most attention Xtina has gotten in decades
Don’t tell Paulo to stfu, b****! He’s entitled to his opinion the same as you are.
@Shayla notice how they told me to shut up but couldn’t rebuff the statement. 😅 Britney wants to be her own woman well grown people of age and in control of themselves are held accountable for what they say and do. Next time stick to her own experience and don’t drop names
They never can rebuff the statement. It’s why they resort to name-calling and/or saying “stfu.” I love Britney and her head must be in such a mess right now but I still agree with you somewhat.
That’s right britney call out the fat people. Next call out Kelly clarkson because she has gotten FAT!!! Lizzo has been called out many times, do her in a few months
Kelly doesn’t pose naked and flash her 100 stomachs all over the place and say she’s proud to be a fat b**** then cries victim when called a fat b****.
She needs to stop using social media for these random thoughts and just keep it in a diary. That way no one can misconstrue what she thinks she’s saying. And she should stop complaining about the media invading her privacy as long as she continues to put her personal matters in the spotlight. Instagram is not going to provide her the help she needs.
Britney is jealous that Christina made the choice to take control of her career at 19 when she had the opportunity while Britney allowed everyone to dictate her career for two decades. Britney can’t blame everyone else now that she can reflect when as the boss of her brand she could’ve made boss moves like Christina too as a teenager. Christina is gorgeous, talented and a risk taker. She is truly an inspiration and always outspoken. Her music from her debut through her Aguilera Spanish album this year has been so great and eclectic. Christina represents a woman who always knew what she wanted and addressed double standards.
I love how my girl said “it is what it is” while trying to claim she’s not calling her fat. Gurl 😂😂😂
