Britney Spears, her attorney and Kevin Federline are all slamming a tabloid story alleging that the pop star has a serious drug problem.
Over the weekend, the Daily Mail ran an exclusive story, by journalist Daphne Barak, which quoted Federline as saying he feared the mother of his two children is using crystal meth. The story claimed Spears's minor sons — from whom she's been estranged for over a year — saw drugs being delivered to their mother's home. Spears's father, Jamie — who she had removed as her conservator, citing conservator abuse — reportedly told Barak he was worried his daughter would meet the same fate as Amy Winehouse.
Federline condemned the story, branding it "lies" and Spears and her attorney Mathew Rosengart followed suit. Rosengart sent a legal letter to the outlet demanding the "false and defamatory” story be removed from the website.
Barak, who conducted Federline and sons' headline-making tell-all last year, tells Yahoo Entertainment she's "absolutely standing by the story." She claims Federline "clearly and repeatedly ... expressed his fears that Britney might be using" the drug — and more.
The Daily Mail story was published on Saturday. "I fear she's on meth," Federline is quoted as saying. It claims Preston, 17, and Jayden, 16, saw drugs being delivered to their mother, who was in a strict conservatorship until November 2021. The story doesn't include provide evidence of drug use.
