The visuals also see her wearing an embellished catsuit like the one Britney wore in the "Toxic" music video.

I didn't know an artist like her and someone I looked up to and admired would illustrate me in such an ignorant way by tailoring me as a superficial pop star with no heart or concern at all."

"I'm speaking with my lawyers today to see what can be done on this matter. It feels illegal and down right cruel." Twitter: @britneyspears However, the post was quickly deleted before Britney shared a new tweet, saying it was "fake news !!!" J.
