Britney Spears reacts after getting slammed for 'body-shaming' Christina Aguilera. Read post

After getting slammed for her previous Instagram post, Britney Spears clarified that she wasn't being critical of Christina Aguilera's body.

Pop sensation Britney Spears, in a lengthy Instagram post, tagged singer Christina Aguilera on Wednesday, after she seemingly "body-shamed" her dancers. "I mean if I had Christina Aguilera’s dancers I would have looked extremely small. I mean why not talk about it?" the Baby One More Time singer wrote.

In her new post, Britney clarified that the earlier statement was a "projection of the insecurities" she had to deal with and she wasn't being critical of Christina's body.

"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 Christina Aguilera for inspiring me (sic)," Britney wrote.

Following the Internet backlash over her caption, Britney addressed the issue with, "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."

She said she wished she had an option of choosing who was on stage with her. "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 (sic)," she wrote.
