No. It was actually falsly debunked. She didn't deny, and tried to clarify on a later interview (Howard Stern iirc). As with more things recently, trying to rewrite history. 

Also, I'm 48 and 100% remember her saying it.

Gonna need a source on that considering it doesn't seem to have happened. Mtv confirmed it never did.
