Christina Aguilera Got Real in an Interview for the Latest Episode of Call Her Daddy
Christina Aguilera recently appeared on the wildly popular Call Her Daddy podcast, where she held nothing back, sharing intimate details about all aspects of her life until now.
In the episode, Aguilera sat down with Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper to discuss everything from her personal life and music career to her work as the co-founder of the sexual wellness brand, Playground.
During the interview, Aguilera candidly discussed her “chaotic” childhood, where she watched her father abuse her mother. The artist shared that her experiences growing up still impact her today, stating, “I always want to try and empower other people and people in situations where they feel voiceless and unheard. I just have such a deep-rooted need to try and use my voice.”
Additionally, the Playground co-founder discussed the challenges she faced as a young woman in music following her rise to fame. At one point, the singer recalled being pitted against other popular female artists of the early 2000s, such as Britney Spears.
Aguilera also mentioned her public feud with P!nk. However, she quickly added that she had no interest in reliving the past. Although she didn’t delve into the details of their differences, the singer did share that the constant drama and comparison to other female artists “just felt like punches in the face.” She added that it was incredibly hard for her to make the music she loved and still see people spin it into something negative.
After noting her experience in the music industry, the star acknowledged that things have since changed for the better. On the matter, Aguilera stated, “We’re able to have these open conversations now. Now I see women more than ever talking to each other and it’s okay and so accessible with our phones, social media, that’s the positive of it, we get to have more accessibility to each other.” She then reflected, “I didn’t have that back then, it was very hard and very terrifying.”
Now, Aguilera has found a new outlet for her passions with Playground. The star enthusiastically described her work for the sexual wellness brand and her hopes to “inspire other women to feel comfortable with talking about their experiences and owning their body and their sexuality and what that means to them because every woman is different.”
As the episode concluded, Cooper asked her guest what she wanted people to take away from her interview to which Aguilera simply declared, “I want peaceful energy, peaceful vibes.”
Christina Aguilera has clearly done plenty of growing and healing over the years. Now, the musical icon appears to be better than ever as she approaches an exciting new chapter in her personal and professional life.
