Christina Aguilera Pens Passionate Defense Of Britney Spears

May 2024 · 2 minute read

On June 28, Christina Aguilera lent her voice to the choir of support for the "Toxic" singer following Britney Spears' court testimony revealing undisclosed details about her conservatorship. Tweeting alongside a photo of her and Spears in their "Mickey Mouse Club" days, Aguilera wrote, "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... To be silenced, ignored, bullied or denied support by those 'close' to you is the most depleting, devastating and demeaning thing imaginable." She also stressed in her six-part tweets the importance of not ignoring the "mental and emotional damage" such actions can affect.

Referencing one of Spears' most disturbing revelations — about an IUD she unwilling has to prevent pregnancy — Aguilera joined the likes of Planned Parenthood in her tweeted reaction, writing, "Every woman must have the right to her own body, her own reproductive system."

The "Can't Hold Me Down" songbird concluded, "While I am not behind the closed doors of this very layered & personal yet public conversation, I promise you she deserves all of the freedom possible to live her happiest life." Team Britney and Team Xtina!
