Britney Spears unwraps: Who should be afraid besides her family

The coming months could be unpleasant for some people close to Britney Spears. The 40-year-old has already said several times that she would like to see her family behind bars. But in her Instagram posts, she suggests that even more people could get their fat off.

Britney Spears unwraps over old interview

Most recently, Britney posted several screenshots of her notes app on her mobile phone. There she wrote down her thoughts on her milestone birthday at the beginning of December and thanked her fans. But she also mentioned a 2003 interview that left a lasting impression on her. The interview was conducted by journalist Diane Sawyer, who visited Spears in her apartment in New York City and – to put it mildly – was very brash in conversation with the 21-year-old.

She spoke to the singer about the rumors of cheating with Justin Timberlake and clearly blamed her for the relationship. Then she probed when it came to Britney’s image. The subtext that could be heard from every one of Sawyer’s questions: How can she stage herself sexy when she is actually considered a virgin who is faithful to the Bible? Sawyer also wanted to know how the singer had told her young sister that she was planning on kissing Madonna on stage. Spears, who responded very politely in the interview, even started crying at one point when it came to her relationship with Timberlake.

Interview mit Diane Sawyer

One of the more innocuous questions from the interview still seems to enrage Spears today. The journalist wanted to know if the musician was addicted to shopping. After all, she is often seen doing it. “But seriously … I lived in my apartment for a year and never spoke to anyone. My manager sent this woman to my house and made me speak to her on TV and she asked me whether I have a shopping problem! When did I have a shopping problem? “Spears wrote in the post that she has since deleted.

She also revealed that the breakup with Timberlake had been very painful for her. “Something I never said when I split up years ago was that I couldn’t speak afterwards,” she wrote, adding, “I was in shock. Quite weak from my father and three men who attended showed up on my door when I could barely speak: Two days later, they sat Diane Sawyer in my living room. They forced me to talk, “Spears explained.

At least since the “New York Times” documentary “Framing Britney” there has been a rethinking of media coverage of Spears. The way the young woman was treated at the time was misogynistic and dangerous. Spears’ crash in her late twenties had many reasons – but most likely, the ruthlessness of the press was one of them. With Diane Sawyer, Britney has pilloried a big player in the media industry. It might only be a matter of time before the next ones follow.
