As supremely talented as she is, Britney Spears is also terribly tormented.
Success has cursed the pop princess as much as it has rewarded her. In 2008, the pressure of fame became too much.
Britney unravelled so spectacularly she was placed under the control of what is called a conservatorship. It meant she wasn’t allowed to make any decisions for herself.
Last November, 13 years on, the strict legal order was overturned, but now as she tries to reclaim her life, she faces more scrutiny.
In a controversial interview with Karl Stefanovic this weekend on 60 MINUTES, Britney’s ex-husband Kevin Federline, the father of her two sons, breaks years of silence to explain how Sean Preston and Jayden are coping with living in the shadow of their famous mother.

It’s disgusting this is allowed. How is this legal???? Minors on TV in towels – oh but that’s ok they’re men – hypocrites talking about “mum makes us feel uncomfortable posting half naked pics on social media”.
I hope you accomplished what you set out to do tear a mother and son apart and tear a mother’s heart out of her chest. Hope you sleep good at night:)
