AceShowbiz - Britney Spears has called out fellow pop star Kelly Clarkson. The "...Baby One More Time" songstress blasted "The Kelly Clarkson Show" host over resurfaced comments about her "screwing with everyone" in a new social media post.
On Wednesday, June 8, the "Oops!...I Did It Again" hitmaker posted a clip of her posing in front of a camera while wearing a green corset dress. In the caption, she wrote, " 'I don't forget' … don't you just wish she would say she's kidding ??? Clarkson … in a world where bullying has been heartbreaking, I've had my share."
"Can we get an AWW ???" Britney continued, adding a trio of writing hand emojis. The 40-year-old pop star then quipped, "Psss … I'm not kidding … play on friends, play on !!!"
Britney's social media post came 15 years after Kelly made the comments in 2007. At the time, Britney was going through the biggest public breakdown in her career as she navigated a divorce from Kevin Federline and released her critically acclaimed album "Blackout" while the "American Idol" winner was promoting her studio album "My December".
During a promo of her album on station Q100, Kelly, who was 25 years old at the time, shared her opinions about Britney. "Man, but wouldn't it be funny if she's just totally screwing with everyone?" she said.
The male host, who wasn't so sure, replied, "I think some celebrities are smart enough, that are capable of doing that." As he was seemingly about to claim he didn't think Britney was "smart enough" to do that, Kelly responded, "Cause it'd be real funny if she were like, 'Just kidding!' "
Explaining her stance further, Kelly went on saying, "I mean, think about it. She's done no press for her album, which I love by the way." The "Because of You" hitmaker added, "She's done no press, just gets so much press off all this other stuff."
