This is a prime example of how the media and their lack of boundaries pushed Britney over the limit. She was underage when first asked about her virginity and sex. Imagine being what is essentially a child and being hyper-sexualized, constantly answering intimate questions about your body. It is disgusting and so harmful for a young girl. She is so strong for pulling through that time in her life.
I can't believe that I thought this was OK at the time. Now it seems ridiculous to me the media would talk about a person's virginity and an artist would be expected to defend herself publicly.
Yeah, it's crazy. I'm glad times have changed. Also, in some clip when she was not even a teenager but just a kid, an interviewer in his 50s asked "can I be your boyfriend?" Jesus...
2degucitas she didn't falsify her self, she changed her mind and had sex with her long term boyfriend. Doesn't make her any less a Christian, and she stated that she wished she never answered the initial question, so she wouldn't be asked about it now. If she wanted to keep it private after, its her body and her personal life so yeah, they can ask but she doesn't have to answer.
No, but she started it by making a statement first. They are just asking her to verify her beliefs. Then it is perfectley normal for the fans and press to follow up. She made herself a model for girls to follow. She made it public, so her sex life is fair game.
I never realized just how well of a speaker and articulate Britney is/was. Obviously you can't figure a person out through short clips of interviews, but she seems so genuine!
Media training was a real thing back then! Nowadays no one actually undergoes training and just ends up in front of cameras not really knowing what to say or do
alex ツ back then people were more conservative and less promiscuous compared to today. They did the same thing to Miley Cyrus when she was 17 as well. The world didn’t want to see good girl Britney get sexual. The world wasn’t ready to see Britney become an actual woman.
I think possibly the real question they were asking was " How can a female, a young, beautiful young girl, who dances sexy, is comfortable in her own skin, be successful and dating one of the members of the most famous pop group that we currently have, be a virgin?" Woman were still categorised as either slut or virgin and there was a puritanical assessment of women back then and how they were classed, rather than men, who were asked questions about the next coming album.
The journalist that asks personal questions like they're your best friend needs to regarded the same way you would a snake that crawled in through an open door
they did and they still do. the only thing is that men don’t particularly care and so they don’t make a case out of it. sorry, but that’s just how it is lmao.
yeah cause the question was weird and she was probably confused and panicking on how shed answer such a idiotic personal question. It's not random idiot.
Poor Britney. People never stopped hounding her about her virginity. I think bc she was only 17 when she told the world about being a virgin and remaining that way till marriage I think due to her being really young and naive back then and still new to the fame she didn’t think about the consequences of how the media was never going to leave her alone about it and expect her to keep her clean, good girl image and stay a virgin until marriage. She didn’t stick to that but who cares? She was a young, beautiful, successful woman with a lot of temptation all around her and at the time was in a long term relationship with her then boyfriend Justin who we all could see she was very much in love with at the time. She didn’t do anything wrong she was just in love and was with him long enough and old enough to make such a responsible decision. The only bad thing about it was that once her and Justin ended things he felt the need to share the whole world how he slept with her and humiliated her bc he was so butthurt over them not working out. They did the same thing to Miley Cyrus and we all know how that turned out.
i remember as kid thinking it was weird how she kept being asked about this. No other singer her age at the time was subjected to such intrusive questions. Christina was never asked this. Nor Justin or others from that era.
Why would you even come up with the idea of ask someone this? She was harassed with this question because she was too famous. But she was still smiling and laughing. Britney is mentally much stronger than everyone around her.
I'll miss that Britney forever. THose questions were so mean but she's not even doing any interviews nowadays, she lipsync, she doesn't write anything for her records, like she's doing it to get money, not to be the fucking idol she was. She's mother of two of course thats her main role now, that's why I'm saying as a fan, I'll miss the Britney I grew up with
1:00 she sounds like a fully grown woman! why is she engrossed on the topic of Britney's virginity. honestly regardless of age, why is anyone asking her personal questions like that!?
Funny i love her, But I see this after she admits in her book that she had an abortion at 19 and she didn't lose her virginity to Justin, she had gone through that long before, but she was selling herself as a virginal girl
I just loved her back then and I do now. But I won't miss out on my life because of me being fascinated by Britney. Basically it's my advice to anyone - you may have crush on some celebrity, but don't forget about life of your own!....
The whole "virgin" image Britney portrayed in her early years was pure marketing by her record company. Even her own mother and first lawyer have admitted since that she lost her virginity at 14. You don't look like Britney did as a teenager and not get laid somewhere along the line. And Britney by all accounts got laid quite a bit before she was ever famous.
she was so sweet.. prolly still is... media ruins every single person that goes into the industry... i dont understand why they even start when they see what happens to people around them..
Aw bless her! She's so sweet and damn right that was a personal question! Cheeky git! But she managed to keep her cwl and even managed to smile when she answered I would've been like "No has yours?" You don't just ask people things like that! Geez! anyway Britney's amazing :D Love you Britney!! xxx
If only she was so full of life. So sweet and humble. It pisses me off how people can compare Britney and Miley to eachother. Britney claimed to be a virgin but she never said when or where she'd lose it. Britney is nothing like the media portrays her to be or what her music videos are like. Miley on the other hand does bad stuff for attention and is just not as good as Britney is. But anyways, Britney's is awesome. :]
So unbelievably disrespectful and inappropriate that even another woman thought it was okay to put a public figure on the spot about their sex life like that, in front of cameras and reporters. What is wrong with people??
such a real person. and that's what they wanted. had she been more guarded from the start they would have gone after her even harder. it would have never stopped. and they'd still be doing it today. just so hurtful. y'all see how they do kanye. he had to explode for them to leave him the heck alone
i love her voice, her answers and basically her face expresses....she is the most beautiful, cute, sweet and sexy person on th earth!!! I love you Britney!!!
Many hypocrites in comments " it s private matter", then why is the subject all over youtube and other sites. Britney was a hypocrite too, she promoted sexuality and all her decisions drove to her state, she could have said no, but she liked the money, where could have she earn this money for dancing and lip singing, mediocrity...
the hand at 1:47 must have belonged to an erderly.... that´s a proof of how big Britney is, no other pop star has fans of all ages. Michael, Madonna, Britney
I've seen many interviews with celebrities, but never one as funny as Britney's ones. I would give anything just to interview or having a chat with her.
Je n'ai jamais vu cette vidéo, Britney est génial ici, j'aime bien quand elle parle franchement et dit "ce que vous aimez, je n'aime pas et ce que vous n'aimez pas, moi j'adore"
I'll bet in real life that she's an intelligent and confident human being. She's most likely not allowed to write her own material. How sad that they ruined her image.
lol i love the first question! haha! but seriously?! why did she even bring up virginity years before if she never intended to keep it? all she did was set herself up for more scrunity and criticism. YES people can change their minds and i understand the hardness of waiting but i find it really stupid when celebs act like they're one person when they're living behind people's backs as another one
Catalina MS she shouldnt have even brought up the subject in the first place. if virginity never came up, then no one would ask her if she was one or not but i think because of how her label was marketing her, she felt the need to say that but i still think she kinda set herself up for failure when it came to that "promise"
Well she was very young, from a small southern town and the family/Britney are pretty religious it's not surprising at that time she probably intended to wait until marriage. You're right, the topic should never have come up, it's so much pressure to put on a young girl.

@turnuon79 maybe thats because, she was happy..she had fame. she was doing what she liked, she and justin were together....she was really famous..she had the love of her life with her, and she was young..i think that when she broke up with justin, that was the beggining of her falling
Being southern myself, i have to disagree with you. And the fact that you are being so crude and malignant toward a group of people just because they are raised in the south makes me want to completely disregard your comment because of how insanely ignorant you are. Im from alabama and am currently a 19 year old VIRGIN in college.

She was not underaged here.

She could have said no comment, or refused to do the press conference.
@@ajs41 or people could have some respect and not ask stupid fucking questions
was it you asking that question during the press conference?
Yeah, it's crazy. I'm glad times have changed. Also, in some clip when she was not even a teenager but just a kid, an interviewer in his 50s asked "can I be your boyfriend?" Jesus...
Well she had talked about remaining a virgin until marriage so people are following up on that
She handled it so well, so mature for her age
Pff she was 21 in 2002 thats super old bree

It's none of their business if shes a virgin or not.
No, but she was presenting a false image. Her life did not live up to her words, so she is ripe for questioning.
2degucitas what false image are you talking about?
She presented herself as a christian who was waiting until marriage. She falsified herself in that regard, so it's open season to question her.
2degucitas she didn't falsify her self, she changed her mind and had sex with her long term boyfriend.

it annoys me how everything has to be about sex. that's britneys personal life and it's pretty rude to ask her that.

Britney:that's a personal question. In other words meaning that's none of your damn business. Lol

when are they gonna ask justin bieber this question, or any other man for tht matter.
they do. oprah asked Michael jackson
@@r.g6170 yeah because people thought he was gay. they never ask (presumed) straight men this question.
Like the Jonas Brothers?

she was looking like cute puppy
what that women asked her?
at 1:22 i can't understand
yeah cause the question was weird and she was probably confused and panicking on how shed answer such a idiotic personal question. It's not random idiot.
In a sec her eyes are scary though....

She didn't do that. Her management team made her do that. She never liked talking about this but would constantly be interrogated by the media by it.
she is sooooo pretty!!! I wish i had her beautiful blonde hair!

weird
She's so gorgeous
wow she answered that question really well. all of them actually.
They really abused this poor girl. There's no excuse. #freebritney
What did the lady ask Britney when she replied "That's a personal question"?
Britney did the best she could. She did it her way. I think we all wish we can beat ourselves before the punch of life.
