During a statement made over the phone on June 23, 2021, Britney Spears made some raw, upsetting comments about the legal conservatorship she's been under for 13 years. Per Variety, Spears said she didn't feel "heard on any level" the last time she was in court. "I've lied and told the whole world, 'I'm OK and I'm happy,'" she said. "... I'm not happy. I can't sleep. I'm so angry it's insane. And I'm depressed. I cry every day." Spears also claimed that she's being forced to use birth control against her will: "I was told right now in the conservatorship, I'm not able to get married or have a baby, I have [an IUD] inside of myself right now so I don't get pregnant."
Christina Aguilera later showed support for Spears on Twitter. "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," Aguilera wrote in part. "Every woman must have the right to her own body, her own reproductive system, her own privacy, her own space, her own healing and her own happiness."
Aguilera's statement concluded: "To a woman who has worked under conditions and pressure unimaginable to most, I promise you she deserves all of the freedom possible to live her happiest life. My heart goes out to Britney. She deserves all the TRUE love and support in the world."
