Britney Spears & Kelvin Federline Slam Report Singer Is Using Meth As ‘False’
‘It breaks my heart. I’ve always felt like the news bullies me, Britney Spears says.
Being a celebrity often means living under constant scrutiny, with the whole world eager to pry into every aspect of your life. This is particularly true in the case of the “Princess of Pop,” Britney Spears, who recently found herself caught up in a new controversy. The DailyMail published a piece over the weekend alleging that she is a drug addict.
Britney Spears’s ex-husband, Kevin Federline, who has full custody of their children, said the singer is struggling with an addiction to Class-A drugs, specifically crystal meth.
Federline reportedly expressed concerns about her safety and insisted the entire family was in a distressing situation. Notably, The DailyMail reported that it spoke with 45-year-old Federline about his concerns that Spears, 41, is using drugs. “I fear she’s on meth, I’ve been praying someone would make it public and that she wakes up…. It’s terrifying. She is the mother of my boys,” journalist Daphne Barak alleged Federline told her.
But now, in a statement posted on his Instagram Story, Federline wrote in part that the reporting about Britney Spears’ is “false” and “repulsive.”
He claimed that the report “saddens” his family, which includes the two sons he shares with Spears; Sean Preston, 17, and Jayden James, 16. And he added in part in his statement, “[The] lies and attempts to exploit minors is clickbait and another repulsive example of where, unfortunately, certain journalism has sunk today.” Spears also responded to the report with a post shared on her Instagram feed, where she addressed her two sons and their strained relationship.
“The fact that people are claiming things that are not true is so sad … This may not even be them saying such things because it doesn’t make any sense to me for them to be saying that,” she said in her statement… It makes me sad because I tried so hard to make things nice for you and it was never good enough. So, you guys go behind my back and talk about me … it breaks my heart and the news is so low.”
“Hopefully it is just the news being hateful and Kevin nor Preston said any of those things,” Britney Spears declared.
In a legal letter sent to The DailyMail on Sunday, which was obtained by PEOPLE, Spears’ attorney, Mathew Rosengart, hit at the reports of the singer’s alleged use of crystal meth. “The Daily Mail, through Daphne Barak, posted a story yesterday containing numerous false and defamatory fabrications concerning my client Britney Spears that are attributed to Kevin Federline and his children, in particular regarding ‘crystal meth,’ the letter begins.
The legal letter noted that Federline “acknowledged the falsity of Ms. Barak’s story” when he spoke to TMZ.
The legal document added, “I have separately learnt that on several occasions, Ms. Barak sought to contact Britney under false pretenses, again her minor children, which is exploitative, harassing, and outrageous. And moreover, Britney’s representatives were never contacted prior to the publication of the story, further demonstrating actual malice and reckless disregard for the truth.”
It concluded, “Britney is indeed a public figure, but this conduct is beyond the pale and completely unacceptable. It is shoddy even by today’s standards of ‘journalism’ and the unfair scrutiny she has faced.” Rosengart said he would “follow up separately” but asked the publication to “please confirm” it would “immediately delete and retract that false and defamatory story and conduct an internal investigation regarding this matter and the abuse of Britney and her children.”
However, Sam Asghari celebrated his first year of marriage with his partner, Britney Spears, despite her absence from social media.
He wrote on his Instagram Stories, “Happy 1 year to me & my better half,” alongside a photo of the couple holding up their hands and ring fingers in a car. “One year married to the woman of my dreams,” He also wrote in his post on Instagram Stories, where he shared a video of moments from their big day set to Haley Reinhart’s cover of “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” Asghari concluded, “Happy anniversary my love.”
