Britney Spears Calls Out Paparazzi For Distorting Her
Britney Spears posted a pointed rejoinder to the paparazzi who are following her on her Hawaiian vacation on Tuesday (June 29); lashing out at snaps she says purposely “distort” her body. “So being here in Maui is pretty crazy now … the paps know where I am and it’s really not fun !!!! It’s pretty hard going anywhere cause these silly faces keep popping up to take my picture;” Spears wrote alongside a post that was soundtracked by Lily Allen’s salty 2009 kiss-off “F— You.”
Britney spears:
Britney 39, has been in the spotlight over the past week in the wake of her eye-opening statements to a judge in her conservatorship case in which she strongly advocated for ending the tightly controlled arrangement. Everyone from ex-husband Kevin Federline to sister Jamie Lynn Spears and former Mickey Mouse Club castmate and one-time chart rival Christina Aguilera have spoken out in the past week about the conservatorship; calling it “unacceptable” and wishing her well. The singer continued to speak her mind very clearly in the rest of the barbed message to the photographers, adding, “But not only do they take my picture … they distort my body and mess with the image and it’s embarrassing !!!!! I know my body is not perfect but I definitely do NOT look like how they portray me. It’s rude and it’s mean so paps kindly F—YOU AND F— OFF.”

An accompanying video opened with the phrase, “Dos and Don’t if you are a pap, fan, or ANYONE in my space,” which included the tips “Don’t talk to me while I’m texting. It’s rude,” followed by a video of a masked Spears strutting her stuff on the beach in a red bikini and a re-iteration of her plea to not edit pictures to distort her body. She also included a short clip of a pride parade breaking out into a chorus of “…Oops I Did It Again,” suggesting, “This is what fans & paps should be doing instead!!!”.
