No one puts Britney Spears in a corner.

"You know, it's sad," the legendary rocker said. "Very, very sad."

His family, wife Sharon Osbourne and adult children, Kelly Osbourne and Jack Osbourne, agreed.

Spears, who frequently posts videos of herself dancing on social media, got wind of it and posted a lengthy note to her Instagram page, which is followed by more than 42 million.

She started her post referencing Kate Beckinsale's 2001 movie Serendipity and noted that "incredibly cruel people were talking about [how Beckinsale] needs more age appropriate content."

Beckinsale, who is in her fifties (a fact Spears also mentioned), has been known to take on social media trolls.

Spears then pushed back on the Osbournes' complaints. She said she hardly ever dances and replied to Sharon Osbourne calling her "a poor little thing" by writing "I'm not poor at all!!!"

"I taught dance class last week to a couple of teenagers," Spears wrote.

Spears continued: "I know what it's like to be judged so it's a ridiculous and stupid subject initially but I think it's important to HELP EACH OTHER and invite each other to places that help our souls to grow!!!"

As for the Osbournes, whom she referred to as "the most boring family known to mankind," Spears ended her note telling them to "kindly f--k off."
