Britney Spears' father and her manager deny pressuring the pop star into sexualizing her music videos.

The allegations come a day after the 31-year-old singer said in a radio interview she felt she was being pushed into being too sexual while discussing her latest music video "Work Bitch."

"I cut out half the [Work Bitch] video because I am a mother and because, you know, I have children, and it's just hard to play sexy mom while you're being a pop star as well," Spears told hosts TJ and Loren.

Jamie Spears and manager Larry Rudolph told TMZ, that the singer had in fact asked that the video be "toned down," but added that she is never forced to do anything against her will.

"Britney is never pressured into anything. She reviews all creative and for her 'Work Bitch' video she discussed toning down some parts in finding a balance of sexy and being a mom," they said.

Jamie Spears was named the singer's protector after she was placed under a conservatorship in 2008.
