They asked her, “What was your reaction when your bestie, Michelle Williams, told you she would be the narrator for Britney Spears’ memoir, and were you surprised at how viral her performance was?”

“We lost it,” Busy replied. “She was like, ‘I have to do this, right? And I was like, ‘YES! OBVIOUSLY.’”

The actress explained that her friend really “felt a connection.”

“You know, we all – and Michelle even younger than me – we all came up in a very particular time in this industry…as young women, and we were subjected to a lot,” she reflected. “And I think there was a lot that was really, sadly relatable…to all women…in Britney‘s book.”

She thought Michelle taking on the project was “incredible and really beautiful.”

Busy also emphasized, “Britney deserves our respect.”

She recently celebrated the Mean Girls musical movie premiere in New York City alongside her famous castmates, including Renee Rapp and Angourie Rice.
