Britney Spears will no longer stand for body shaming. After a recent trip to Mexico, the singer was photographed by paparazzi while leaving the airport, drawing some truly vile reactions to her body and the way she was dressed. Britney is no stranger to dealing with the paparazzi, and the relationship between her and them has never been particularly loving. For her entire career, people have commented on anything and everything Britney does, and after 25 years, she has understandably had enough.
The paparazzi caught Britney coming home from her vacation.
In the initial paparazzi shot, Britney was spotted leaving the Van Nuys airport after a trip from Mexico wearing a pink tank dress, black choker, chunky sandals, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat. The dress is form-fitting and was bunched up around her midsection, which left it sitting right under her butt. Noticeably braless, she was smiling in the shot, but apparently people had a lot to say about her body.
Britney wasn’t interested in what people had to say.
She posted a video on Instagram to clap back at the comments, wearing the dress and choker again, but instead of sandals she was wearing knee-high white boots. Britney danced from side to side, flipping her hair and pulling the dress down so it sat lower on her legs. In text on the video, Britney addressed the reactions to the paparazzi shot.
She held nothing back.
“The night before the paps got THAT SHOT of me going to my car !!! Same dress and same girl !!! Look I get it I know my body is not perfect but I also know I don’t have cellulite on my legs the way the paps betray me !!!” she wrote.
She reiterated that sentiment in the post’s caption, but added more.
“I also know the way the paps shoot me in public when I go out I look like a different person !!! It’s honestly abusive because I do feel like one of the most bullied people in the world !!! It’s the truth !!! It’s not healthy for my heart or my health !!!”
Britney went on to address claims about her weight.
She continued, writing, “I’m 122 and if I lost anymore weight and was sick and believed those pics I would be in the hospital !!! It’s a sticky conversation because in a world of where vanity rules not one person would believe me !!! Not one person will believe me because they prefer the negativity !!! Oh well !!!”
This isn’t the first time she’s called out the haters recently.
In another recent Instagram post, Britney hit out at people who had something to say about her dancing videos. Wearing a cropped top, tiny shorts, and bright red boots, Britney is dancing in front of the camera in a dance studio.
“I haven’t danced in so long … the last time I danced I was dancing with knives … people say I shouldn’t post those !!! It’s been 9 months since I have danced but I did last night … It’s not very good but I did it !!!” she captioned the post.
