Britney Spears has slammed Diane Sawyer for “making her cry” in an interview in 2003. The 40-year-old pop star claimed she was “forced” to do the interview by her father Jamie and opened up about how she felt on Diane’s line of questioning.
In a since-deleted Instagram post, she wrote: “Do we dare forget the Diane Sawyer interview in my apartment almost 20 years ago? What was with the ‘You’re in the wrong’ approach?? Geeze… and making me cry??? 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?”
The ‘Toxic’ hitmaker – who recently regained control of her assets after she was released from a 13 year conservatorship – also addressed her infamous breakup with NSYNC star Justin Timberlake, revealing that she was so “in shock” over the split that she had been unable to talk – but felt “forced” to do so.
She added: “Something I never shared when I had that big break up years ago was that I couldn’t talk afterwards. I never spoke to anyone for a very long time. I was in shock Pretty lame of my dad and three men to show up at my door when I could hardly speak… two days later they put Diane Sawyer in my living room.
In a statement to PEOPLE, Jamie Spears’ lawyer Alex Weingarten denied all involvement of the singer’s dad on his behalf .
It read: “Mr. Spears has no idea what Ms. Spears is talking about. Jamie never set up any interview with Diane Sawyer and was not present for any such interview.
