Spears responded to seeing the photo Sawyer was holding.

“It’s about doing a beautiful picture.

I feel comfortable in my skin.

I think it’s an okay thing to express yourself.”

Unfortunately, her well-spoken defense fell on incredulous ears.

Less than three months prior, Spears opened the MTV Video Music Awards with Christina Aguilera.

OneXuser called the interview “absolutely disgusting” and “misogyny executed by another woman.”

The fan commented on Spears' later troubles, saying: “No wonder Britney seems so lost.

We all betrayed her by allowing that narrative.”
