Christina Aguilera has offered her support to Britney Spears saying the treatment she faces under her conservatorship is “unacceptable”.

Spears told a court on June 23 that the conservatorship, which see her father Jamie control her life and wealth, is abusive.

Aguilera posted on twitter, “These past few days I’ve been thinking about Britney and everything she is going through.

“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.

“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.

“Every woman must have the right to her own body, her own reproductive system, her own privacy, her own space, her own healing and her own happiness.

“While I am not behind the closed doors of this very layered & personal yet public conversation all I can do is share from my heart on what I’ve heard, read and seen in the media,” she tweeted on June 29.

“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.”

“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,” she added.
