Will Britney ever catch a break?
Britney Spears has responded to rumours made in the papers over the weekend that her family is concerned about her drug issues.
The Sun ran a story claiming that the singer’s ex-husband Kevin Federline (with whom she shares her two sons Jayden and Preston) said that Britney is “on meth.”
“I’ve been praying someone would make it public and that she wakes up … It’s terrifying,” the Sun quoted Federline as having said.
Unsurprisingly, this story went viral, and Britney herself took to Instagram last night to defend herself against the claims.
“The fact that people are claiming things that are not true is so sad,” Britney said. “This may not even be them saying such things because it doesn’t make any sense to me for them to be saying that.”

Rumours have been circulating for months now that Britney's sons are growing apart from her and haven't seen their mother in a year. It was reported that Kevin and the boys were planning on moving to Hawaii to put even more distance between them for months now.
“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 … l’ve always felt like the news bullies me … It’s sad because everyone sits back as if that’s ok to make up lies to that extent,” Britney continued on her Instagram post. “Hopefully it is just the news being hateful and Kevin nor Preston said any of those things.”
In response to this, Kevin Federline issued a statement to TMZ , admitting that while he granted The Sun an interview, he did not say anything about Britney being "on meth".
“It saddens our family that Daphne Barak and Erbil Gunasti have decided to fabricate lies and publish the heart ache our family has endured, along with the trauma of our minor children in the Daily Mail and The Sun. We did allow Daphne & Bill into our home because we trusted them, but that trust was lost and we severed ties back in March for many reasons we choose not to go into here.”
Federline continued, “It is very distressing that [Barak] continues to harass our family when we have repeatedly asked her to leave us alone. As was previously published, our family did speak with Ms. Barak and Mr. Gunasti a few times, and this was done in a respectful way with love & compassion for Britney and the Spears family. Her lies and attempts to exploit minors is click bait and another repulsive example of where, unfortunately, certain journalism has sunk today.”
A really sad situation for everyone involved, we hope things get better for Britney. It's what she deserves 🧡
