Christina Aguilera is speaking out in support of Britney Spears, days after the pop star spoke out in court against the conservatorship she has been under for the past 13 years.
For those who don’t know, Christina and Britney grew up together as cast members on The All-New Mickey Mouse Club from 1993 to 1994. They then rose to fame in the pop music world at the same time.
Britney and Christina presented together at the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards and then famously performed with Madonna at the VMAs in 2003.

Read Christina Aguilera’s full statement below…
These past few days I’ve been thinking about Britney and everything she is going through.
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.
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.
While I am not behind the closed doors of this very layered & personal yet public conversation – all I can do is share from my heart on what I’ve heard, read and seen in the media.
The conviction and desperation of this plea for freedom leads me to believe that this person I once knew has been living without compassion or decency from those in control.
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.
