Britney Spears Called Out Christina Aguilera Over a New Interview and Twitter Is Torn

Britney Spears just called out Christina Aguilera over a new interview response about Spears’ 13-year conservatorship and fans honestly don’t know how to feel.

On November 19, Spears shared a brief clip from a recent interview with Aguilera that seemingly shows the “Genie in a Bottle” singer brushing off a question about her former Mickey Mouse Club costar. In the clip, someone from Aguilera’s team is leading her away from the press when a reporter tries to ask if she’s been in communication with Spears since the end of her conservatorship.

“We’re not doing that tonight, I’m sorry,” Aguilera’s rep responds before the pop star adds, “I can’t…but I’m happy for her.”

Alongside the video, Spears wrote, “I love and adore everyone who supported me…but refusing to speak when you know the truth is equivalent to a lie!!!! 13 years being in a corrupt abusive system yet why is it such a hard topic for people to talk about??? I’m the one who went through it!!! All the supporters who spoke up and supported me thank you…Yes, I do matter!!!!”

The pop star followed the clip with a recent red carpet interview of Lady Gaga describing Spears as an inspiration writing, “Thank you @LadyGaga for genuinely taking your time to say something so kind. You made me cry!!! I love you!!!” 

Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera have known each other since 1993 and have shared a series of ups and downs in their relationship as they both skyrocketed into stardom in the early 2000s. For many, the disagreement feels like a blast from the past. 

Some fans were genuinely disappointed to see what they believe to be a flippant response to Spears’ plight. “This was not a good response by Christina. It just wasn’t handled well at all,” one Instagram user replied to a recording of Spears’ story. “What happened to Britney was quite simply a human rights issue and you don’t want to talk about it because you’re on the red carpet? It was just really disappointing and I don’t blame Britney for being upset about it.”
