Britney Spears is calling out a personal trainer for criticizing her appearance.
The singer took to Instagram on Monday to share an incident that occurred a couple months prior. Spears said that she had been testing out personal trainers to help her stay healthy, when an unnamed coach body shamed her right from the start of their session.
"I took the time 2 months ago to find a trainer and the first thing she did to me was literally — and I’m not even lying — pinch the skin on my stomach and legs and told me I need to get my younger body back," she wrote, adding, "Why the hell did she do that ??? It made me cry."
Spears added that since a personal trainer didn't work out, she decided to become her own motivator, and has been maintaining her physical health on her own terms.
"I obviously didn’t hire her so I did it myself !!! I work out for 45 min, 3x a week — that’s it !!! I hate working out for too long," the artist said.
Spears said that she was compelled to share the story because she's seen photos of herself from paparazzi that she believes have been unflattering, saying that some make her look "like an idiot." Ultimately, Spears explained that she gets "protective of myself," especially when the photos "don't look like my body."
"I’m sharing this because I have worked hard to get in shape, yet I don’t look like the pictures that the paps take !!!" she continued. "God knows my body ain’t perfect but I did want to share what my body looks like at the moment."
Spears shared the message alongside a video of herself spinning and smiling while showcasing her body. She finished the post with some words for anyone who may be rooting against her.
"I worked my ass off and for some people like that trainer who might see those nasty pap pics and secretly smile ... B*tch, I’m just getting started," she said.
