“To be honest, I’m not trying to be critical of anybody. What l posted is a projection of the insecurities Ideal 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 l 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!!!, clarified Britney.
However, even with the public apology, Christina Aguilera has not re-followed Britney Spears on Instagram.
