Britney Spears called out Christina Aguilera for not speaking on her conservatorship in a social media post.

On Thursday (18 November), pop star Aguilera attended and performed at the Latin Grammy Awards.

During one of her interviews on the red carpet, the Fighter singer was asked if she spoke to Spears after she was released from her controversial conservatorship.

In response to the question, Aguilera’s publicist told the interviewer: “No, we’re not doing that today. I’m sorry.”

The Genie In a Bottle artist added: “I can’t, but I’m happy for her!”

Taking to her Instagram stories, Spears uploaded the clip alongside a caption that seemingly called out Aguilera for not speaking about her conservatorship.

“I love and adore everyone who supported me,” Britney captioned the brief clip. “But refusing to speak when you know the truth, is equivalent to a lie!!!” she wrote.

“13 years being in a corrupt abusive system yet why is it such a hard topic for people to talk about??? I’m the one who went through it!!!

“All the supporters who spoke up and supported me thank you… Yes I do matter!!!!!”

She then followed up her post with another story that featured a clip of Lady Gaga commenting on the singer and her conservatorship.

“Thank you Lady Gaga for genuinely taking your time to say something so kind. You made me cry!!! I love you!!!” her caption said.

Gaga went on to respond to Spears’ post with a story of her own, stating: “Love you [Britney Spears]. Live your best life. I prayed for the legal system to treat you like a person.

“You’ve now changed the course for women in this industry. You stood up for yourself and were so brave. Thank you.”

Even though Aguilera hasn’t released a statement on Spears’ recent comments, she has indeed shown support for the Lucky singer in the past.

Shortly after Spears’ emotional testimony in June, the Burlesque star uploaded a six tweet thread calling out the conservatorship alongside a photo from their Mickey Mouse Club days.

“These past few days I’ve been thinking about Britney and everything she is going through,” she 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. The harmful mental and emotional damage this can take on a human spirit is nothing to be taken lightly.”

Last week, the Work Bitch singer was released from her longstanding conservatorship.

The monumental news was announced on Friday (12 November) by Los Angeles judge, Brenda Penny.

“The conservatorship of the person and estate of Britney Jean Spears is no longer required,” Penny said. “The conservatorship is hereby terminated.”

Shortly after the news was revealed, Spears celebrated the life-changing news with a video of her fans alongside a heartfelt caption.

“Good God I love my fans so much it’s crazy!!! I think I’m gonna cry the rest of the day!!!! Best day ever … praise the Lord … can I get an Amen?” she wrote.

We’re hoping this is just a simple misunderstanding between these two pop icons.
