Britney Spears is calling out Diane Sawyer for conducting the 2003 interview that left the pop star in tears.

The songstress opened up in a lengthy Instagram caption that has since been deleted in which she calls out the ABC journalist for coming to her home shortly after her breakup with Justin Timberlake.

While discussing the pleasure of being able to shop with her own cash for the first time in years, Spears, wrote via People, "I do love shopping though…who doesn't??? Do we dare forget the Diane Sawyer interview in my apartment almost 20 years ago ??? What was with the ‘you’re in the wrong' approach?? Geeze…and making me cry ???"

Spears, 40, revealed that after her "big breakup" with Timberlake, she "never spoke to anyone."

"Something I never shared when I had that big break up years ago was that I couldn't talk afterwards … I never spoke to anyone for a very long time …I was in shock," Spears reportedly wrote.

"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 !!! I was a baby …I was almost 22 and didn't understand but I f---ing know now !!! She said ‘a woman or a girl’ … I would like to say now ‘ma’am I'm a catholic slut!!! You wanna join me at a mass and I can serve your husband my certificate on shopping for anonymous players ???'" Spears continued.

The singer then went on to discuss how she deserves access to her own money.

"I should spend a thousand dollars if I want every day of my life and she can kiss my white a--," Spears continued.

BRITNEY SPEARS' CONSERVATORSHIP: A TIMELINE

This isn't the first time Sawyer has been accused of alleged mistreatment of Spears from the 2003 interview. In February, viewers of the "Framing Britney Spears" documentary called out the media titan for painting Spears as the heartbreaker during her split from Timberlake.

"He has gone on television and pretty much said you broke his heart," Sawyer said to the then-22-year-old singer. "You did something that caused him so much pain, so much suffering… What did you do?"

The "Toxic" singer then went on the defensive against her family, claiming she's "embarrassed" for them for a number of reasons. 

"I'm more embarrassed for my family for condoning the fact that I wasn't allowed to have cash for so long when I worked my little a-- off for them…I'm embarrassed for the State of California for permitting my father to have me work as hard as he worked me all those years and never seeing a dime… I'm embarrassed for all of them and I'm sad for them because I know my value and worth now …and they LOST ME !!!" Spears continued in the deleted post. "

In a statement to Fox News on Tuesday, Jamie Spears' attorney said, "Mr. Spears has no idea what Ms. Spears is talking about. Jamie never set up any interview with Diane Sawyer and was not present for any such interview. He had nothing to do with Britney’s career at this point and was completely uninvolved in this interview. Jamie loves Britney very much, wishes Britney nothing but the best and hopes that she continues to seek the help that she needs to stay safe and healthy."

"My first three years in the biz and on the road were great but I'll be completely honest and say that after those three tours and the pace I was going... I don't think I ever want to do it again," she reportedly wrote. "I hated it."

Reps for Sawyer did not immediately return Fox News' request for comment.

Spears' lengthy Instagram post comes nearly a week after she scored a small victory in court. One month after Judge Brenda Penny ended the singer's conservatorship, the pop star was given authority to sign her own documents.

There is another hearing set for Jan. 19 to address the same matters.
