It’s fair to say that Christina Aguilera was not too pleased about Britney Spears’ recent “fat-shaming” Instagram post concerning her backups dancers, having since taken matters into her own hands by unfollowing the “Toxic” singer. To catch you up to speed, Spears shared a since-deleted post on Monday to talk about having to work with the “tiniest” dancers while on tour during her 13-year conservatorship, which she says had knocked her confidence and self-esteem.
“I found there was only one way to look thin: hang out with fat people,” she wrote. “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 [dancers emojis]… I mean why not talk about it ??” Spears went on to say that had she been given some control of her life, she probably wouldn’t have had to compare her womanhood to others all the time.
Well, it appears as if Aguilera may have taken the caption as a dig because the “Dirrty” hitmaker is no longer following Spears as of Tuesday. This isn’t the first time that the mother of two has called out her former Mickey Mouse Club co-star, having told fans back in November 2021 that she didn’t appreciate Aguilera refusing to discuss the conservatorship ordeal when the topic was brought up by an interviewer at the Latin Grammys. “REFUSING TO SPEAK WHEN YOU KNOW THE TRUTH, IS EQUIVALENT TO A LIE !!!!” Spears vented on Instagram.
“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 !!!!!”
It’s believed that Aguilera and Spears haven’t been on the best of terms over the years, and given the handful of shots the “Why Should I Be Sad” pop star has taken at her industry peer, it would seem as if whatever friendship they once shared has completely fizzled out at this point.
It should also be noted that while Aguilera did not want to discuss Spears’ conservatorship at the Latin Grammys red carpet, she did say that she was “happy for her,” just days after Spears was freed from her 13-year-long conservatorship, controlled by her estranged father, Jamie.
Following her newfound freedom, Lady Gaga was one of the first celebrities to speak out in support of Spears when she took to the red carpet at the premiere of “House of Gucci” to say, “The way that she was treated in this business was really wrong and the way that women are treated in the music industry is something that I wish we change. I think that she will forever be an inspiration to women.”
In response, Spears replied, ”THANK YOU @LADYGAGA FOR GENUINELY TAKING YOUR TIME TO SAY SOMETHING SO KIND. YOU MADE ME CRY !!! I LOVE YOU !!!”
