UPDATE: Britney Spears' father and manager, Jamie Spears and Larry Rudolph, have released a statement to E! News: "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."

Britney Spears shows a lot of skin in her new "Work Bitch" music video—too much, in the pop star's opinion. The 31-year-old singer phoned in to The TJ Show on Thursday, Oct. 3, where she told radio hosts TJ and Loren that she actually had director Ben More edit the clip to make it less provocative.

"Oh my god, we showed way more skin and did way more stuff for the video then what is actually there. Like, I cut out half the 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," said Britney, mom to Sean Preston, 8, and Jayden James, 7. "I just have to be true to myself and feel it out when I do stuff."
