Singer Britney Spears may not be able to talk about this.
On Tuesday night, the “Oops!…I Did It Again” singer spoke out against women who don’t “show off” their bodies yet criticized those who do. Many fans feel that the 40-year-old pop star is calling out Selena Gomez, especially with the mention of her “Ice Cream” music video.
Although Britney took to Instagram on Wednesday night to say that she wasn’t talking about the “Only Murders In The Building” cast at all, many fans accused her of “backtracking” and creating “revisionist history.”

On Tuesday, Britney took to Instagram to share a photo of herself in a red bikini and posted the following caption:
Don’t you just love the courage of women who stand up for awards and talk about their beliefs about not showing their bodies on instagram???!!!!! They said “This is NOT something I would do” yet those women are the ones who got a 4 million dollar budget video made of sucking and licking homemade ice cream !!!! These other girls have nothing but beautiful bodies!!!! Who cares if it shows off??? THEY DESERVE IT!!! So when I see someone who has a big budget video sucking a lollipop but gives a true speech shaming other women for exposing their bodies, I want to tell those people don’t be hypocrites because you suck a lollipop you have BIG budget dreams… why you stand your ground against girls who get attention JUST LIKE YOU and they have none ????
However, after she started facing backlash from fans for calling out Selena Gomez, Britney deleted the caption and replaced the above comment with three red heart emojis. The “Hold Me Closer” singer returned to Instagram on Wednesday night to post a lengthy message that made it clear that he wasn’t talking about Selena at all.

While many fans assumed Britney’s original caption was a reference to Selena’s “Ice Cream” music video, Britney clarified that she was actually thinking of Kelis’ “Milkshake” music video when she wrote her original caption.

Britney went on to say, “I empower women to express their bodies however they choose.”
“I apologize for my ignorance, but I did not see the music video for Ice Cream that Selena Gomez, who I really admire and respect a lot, made,” he wrote, joking that he was not “a part of the crowd.”

Selena Gomez attended Britney’s June wedding to Iranian actor Sam Asghari. In the post, Britney wrote, “I was surprised by him on my wedding day and totally in awe of him!!!”
He said that “Bad Liar” is his favorite song from Selena and the two should sing it together at his wedding. “I want to tell Selena that she may not know the trash news that her music has helped me a lot,” he wrote, thanking her again for “making my dreams come true by coming to my wedding.”

Britney said that Selena Gomez is “the one person I’ve always wanted to meet and my dream come true and I’ll never forget her!!!”
He later said that Selena might “not be aware of this nonsense” before telling “other women to lift each other up,” adding, “Don’t ever judge another person by the way they express their bodies.”

She ended her post by saying, “The judgments that the media always make of me … through someone’s pain of feeling too big, too small, too tall, too short, heartbroken or bullied all create their own way of expressing themselves. … they do this because that’s when they find their true selves and that’s when the best art is created.”

In the caption, Britney dropped three “🥛🥛🥛” emojis. She quickly received support from her assistant, Vicky T, who wrote, “🙌🙌🙌 this is what I thought when I saw your post! You always encourage me to accept whatever size I am and however I want to show or not show my body. Always made me feel welcome. ❤️.”
However, fans weren’t so quick to accept his “non-apology”, with one user commenting, “Well that’s not an apology if I’ve ever seen one.” Another follower agreed, adding, “His post was definitely about Selena & now she’s backing off. I used to be a fan of yours but lately all the hate and negativity you spread has become too much.”

However, other fans accepted his apology. One fan wrote, “Super sweet. No need to explain but take care that he doesn’t offend a friend. The media really needs to stop assuming, guessing or insinuating!” Another added, “Right Britney !!!! Don’t focus on the haters trying to find drama!!!”
However, some followers have different questions. “Why can’t he call his friend Selena Gomez? Why are they? [not] can relate to each other? This just adds more questions.”
