It has been anything but a stellar year for one time teen queen, Christina Aguilera.
It's been mishap after mishap for months now, first with her album 'Bionic' flopping, then in October, when news first broke that she and husband of five years, Jordan Bratman had split -- from then on it was a downward spiral no one saw coming. Now, the 'Beautiful' songstress is finally talking, addressing each and every unfortunate incident.
'The Voice' judge opens up in the July issue ofW magazine, reliving her most disastrous moments from the last year and giving her side of the story.
Aguilera explains, "Sometimes, especially in the last six months, I still feel like going to the window and singing out all my troubles. I laugh a lot lately. People expect me to cry, but I always laugh when things go wrong."
While the world was laughing and speculating about the singer, it seems she had a clear understanding of what was happening to her, one of the worst bad luck streaks, ever. She's picked herself up and dusted herself off, and now she is ready to set the record straight.
When W asked about her failed marriage, she was anything but subtle, hinting that both she and Bratman had been unfaithful: "At one time or another we were both not angels. It got to a point where our life at home was reminding me of my own childhood." She then declared, "I will not have my son grow up in a tension-filled home. I knew there would be a negative reaction in the press to my divorce, but I am not going to live my life because of something someone might say. That goes against everything I sing on my records. I have to be myself."
