Britney Spears’ former rival Christina Aguilera rips her dad Jamie & team for ‘devastating & demeaning’ conservatorship
Britney Spears’ former rival Christina Aguilera ripped her dad Jamie and team for the singer’s “devastating and demeaning” conservatorship.
Christina, 40, took to Instagram to show her support Britney, 39, on Monday.
The Genie in a Bottle singer wrote on an Instagram Story text post: “These past few days I’ve been thinking about Britney and everything she is going through.
“It is unacceptable that any woman, or human, wanting to be in control of their own destiny might not be allowed to live life as they wish.”
She continued: “To be silenced, ignored, bullied or denied support by those ‘close' to you is the most depleting, devastating and demeaning thing imaginable.
“The harmful mental and emotional damage this can take on a human spirit is nothing to be taken lightly.
“Every woman must have the right to her own body, her own reproductive system, her own privacy, her own space, her own healing and her own happiness.”
Christina added in a follow-up post: “While I am not behind the closed doors of this very layered & personal yet public conversation – all I can do is share from my heart on what I’ve heard, read and seen in the media.
“The conviction and desperation of this plea for freedom leads me to believe that this person I once knew has been living without compassion or decency from those in control.”
The Beautiful singer concluded: “To a woman who has worked under conditions and pressure unimaginable to most, I promise you she deserves all of the freedom possible to live her happiest life.
“My heart goes out to Britney. She deserves all the TRUE love and support in the world.”
Christina posted the same note on Twitter, which shared alongside a throwback photo with Britney.
The two entertainers previously starred on The Mickey Mouse Club together, while they both went on to have successful singing careers and often competed against each other.
Christina’s support comes after Britney spoke about against her family in court amid her conservatorship legal battle.
Under her conservatorship, Britney's father Jamie has “controlled” her life for the past 13 years.
The Toxic singer made a number of shocking claims during the hearing, including that her family sent her to a $60K rehab at a small Los Angeles home and that she was allegedly forced to get an IUD she cannot take out to have another baby.
Shortly after Britney made the allegations, Jamie released a statement insisting he “loves his daughter.”
