Britney Spears on Monday publicly lambasted journalist Diane Sawyer for the interview they did in 2003.
“Seriously though… I lived in my apartment for a year and never spoke to anyone… my manager put that woman in my home and made me talk to her on national television and she asked if I had a shopping problem!!! when did I have a shopping problem?” Spears wrote in a lengthy Instagram post that has since been deleted.
The pop star — whose 13-year conservatorship was recently dissolved, making her financially and legally independent for the first time since her 20s — explained that after she and fellow musician Justin Timberlake broke up in 2002, she didn’t socialize or leave her apartment much, so she was not prepared for Sawyer to enter the apartment and ask her personal questions.
