Britney Spears brought to light some unknown details from her shocking split with Justin Timberlake in 2002 and her infamous interview with Diane Sawyer that followed.
"Do we dare to forget the interview with Diane Sawyer in my apartment almost 20 years ago? What was the "are you wrong" approach? "Christ, it made me cry," she wrote in an Instagram post, which she later deleted.
In the interview, Diane Sawyer pressured Britney Spears to answer if she was loyal to Justin Timberlake, referring to statements made by the singer where she had claimed that she had slept with only one person.
In her lengthy post, the 40-year-old singer stated that she was living alone in New York at the time and that she did not want to discuss her already very public separation.
"I stayed in my apartment for a year and never spoke to anyone. "My manager put this woman in my house and forced me to talk to her on national television and asked me if I had a problem with my shopping," he wrote.
Britney Spears, who has just regained control of her finances at the end of her 13-year courtship on November 12, seemed to be bothered by this accusation, as her consumer habits were largely in the hands of custody for much of her career.
"When did I have a problem with shopping? Something I never shared when I had that big separation years ago was that I could not talk afterwards. I did not speak to anyone for a long time. I was in shock. He was quite miserable by my father and three men who showed up at my door when I could hardly speak. "Two days later they put Diane Sawyer in my living room," he described.

Britney Spears claimed she had no say in the matter and was forced to speak, although she did not fully understand what was happening: "I was forced to speak! I was a baby. "I was almost 22 years old and I did not understand, but now I know," he noted.
The pop singer also stressed how important it is for her that she can finally spend some of her own money, which she earned with effort.
"Anyway, I'm able to have cash now, so I went to an ATM and I was so proud of my $ 300. "And no I'm not ashamed to share it… well, maybe a little… but I'm more ashamed of my family who put up with the fact that I was not allowed to have cash for so long while I worked so hard for them," he explained before pointing. the state of California for the way it has handled its custody over the years.
"I'm ashamed of the State of California for allowing my father to make me work so hard all these years and never see a penny. "I am ashamed of all of them and I feel sorry for them because now I know my honor and value and they lost me!" He added.
Courts, meanwhile, ruled last week that Britney Spears was free to handle her financial affairs and sign documents on her own as an "independent woman."
Judge Brenda Penny wrote: "The court finds and further orders that Britney Jean Spears has the power to sign transaction documents on her behalf and that any previous decision by this court to limit her capacity to sign documents related to her property is revoked ".
