Christina Aguilera has claimed that older men tried to take advantage of her when she was a teenager.
Before topping the charts aged 19 with Genie In A Bottle, the star regularly attended auditions for parts on the small screen.
When she was left alone with certain TV bosses - who she has refused to name and shame, the singer admitted she felt incredibly uncomfortable.
"There were definitely times when I felt very uncomfortable in certain situations with older men," she told the Daily Star Sunday. "You have to learn very quickly to set your boundaries and standards."
Christina , who landed her first major role on Disney Chanel's Mickey Mouse Club when she was just 12-years-old, went on to reveal that the concerning experiences resulted in her becoming fiercely independent.
"I don't like to stand aside and let a man dictate what we should wear, how we should speak, have an opinion but not too much and be sexy but not too sexy," she explained.
Christina's younger years were equally as concerning at home as they were in the showbiz industry as her father had a violent temper - which has inspired several songs.
However, as she grew older, the star realised she had to "embrace darkness" in order to find her inner "light".
"With your darkness comes your insecurities and fears and some really bad moments, but it's okay to cry and get through those hard times," she added.
