Aguilera shared a photo of herself and Spears as youngsters while taking to Twitter to denounce the way in which the “Toxic” singer has been treated.

“These past few days I’ve been thinking about Britney and everything she is going through,” began the Grammy winner. “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.”

She continued, “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.”

Spears recently revealed that she has been “pretending” to be ok for the past two years while making her first statement since appearing in court.

“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,” added Aguilera. 

Concluding her post by sending a direct message to Spears, the “Genie in a Bottle” singer wrote, “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.”
