Are Britney Spears & Christina Aguilera Feuding Again?

Oops … she did it again!  Christina Aguilera unfollowed Britney Spears on Instagram after she made a ‘controversial statement’ about Christina’s body.

Britney was complaining that she was ‘never allowed to make her own choices,’ “If I had Christina Aguilera’s dancers I would have looked extremely small,” she wrote on Instagram.  In the same post, Britney quoted actor Rodney Dangerfield, “I found there was only one way to look thin: hang out with fat people.”

Fans assumed Britney was fat-shaming Christina, or her dancers.  Soon after, Christina unfollowed Britney, and within moments of the post going live, Britney was faced with tons of people calling her out.  One user wrote, “You can speak YOUR truth without making an effort to offend someone.  I’m so disappointed.”  Another user wrote, “Why would you want to put anyone down or make anyone feel small? Use your platform responsibly.  Do better.” 

After all the backlash, Britney began trending on Twitter and eventually addressed the issue herself, claiming that she wasn’t trying to be critical of anybody:

“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 !!!”

Ever since her 13-year conservatorship ended in November 2021, Britney has used her platform to speak her truth, and call out anyone and everyone.
