"I felt sad that back then I didn't know - back in the day, in the early days - I didn't know... Like, I'm a strong person. I could've reached out more."
Pink wished she had been better informed about Britney Spears' struggles in the early 2000s so she could have offered her support to the Pop Princess.

"Framing Britney Spears" was a recent New York Times documentary that analyzed Britney's harsh press treatment, her subsequent breakdown, and conservatorship proceedings. In a new interview, Pink said she felt sad after learning what really happened.
"I love Britney. And here's the thing about all of us voyeurs - none of us know what's going on. We're not there," the singer said during her appearance on "Watch What Happens Live."

She added, "I would like to (know). I think we would all like to, and we feel this fierce protectiveness over her, for good reason. She's a sweetheart. She's incredibly sweet. All I know is she's incredibly sweet and I want her to be happy."
Pink continued, "I felt sad that back then I didn't know - back in the day, in the early days - I didn't know... Like, I'm a strong person. I could've reached out more."
The singer said feeling weak or powerless isn't something she enjoys, and she can only imagine how Britney must feel.

"She could've used some support," Pink pointed out. "The media tore her apart, and the paparazzi are scum. I just wish I could've reached out and gave her hug."
Earlier this year, Pink, who married Carey Hart in 2006, celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary. In an emotional posting, the singer mentioned the magic of marrying him 15 years ago.
Pink captioned a series of photos on Instagram: "15 years. Proud of us babe. See, sometimes being stubborn pays off. What a wild ride it's been, once we learned how to stay in our race line."
"Here's to at least the next 15 months hahahAh," she joked. "I love you and I love our family."
Pink and Carey have two children together, Willow Sage and Jameson Moon. They have been together for 19 years.
