And she described her interview with Sawyer in a now-deleted Instagram post.
“Do we dare forget the Diane Sawyer interview in my apartment almost 20 years ago?” she wrote, according to screenshots. “What was with the ‘You’re in the wrong’ approach?? Geeze… and making me cry???”
“Something I never shared when I had that big breakup years ago was that I couldn’t talk afterward. I never spoke to anyone for a long time …I was in shock,” she added, “pretty lame of my dad and three men to show up at my door when I could hardly speak … two days later they put Diane Sawyer in my living room … they forced me to talk !!!”
In 2003 Sawyer hit Britney with her high-profile breakup with boyfriend Justin Timberlake. For some reason, Sawyer seemed to take sides. And she blamed Britney. Sawyer asked Spears, “You did something that caused him so much pain, so much suffering. What did you do?”
ABC spent a lot of time focusing on Spears’ body and wardrobe. Sawyer said that the space between the superstar’s midriff and belly button ring was “the most valuable square inch of real estate in the entertainment universe.”
