Britney Spears Declares ‘I Don’t Like America’ After Unflattering Paparazzi Photos Hit the Internet

Britney Spears isn’t happy with the latest set of paparazzi photos of her that were published by the Daily Mail. Spears was out and about in Los Angeles this week when photographers snapped photos of her with a “fuller” face.

Some fans debated whether or not the pictures were actually of Spears, pointing out that she looked completely different from the pictures that Kim Kardashian shared just days earlier. However, Spears has spoken out on Instagram, saying that it was her in the pics but they were just bad shots.

“And I just don’t like the way paparazzi always like [take] the worst pictures in the whole world. So, I can’t go anywhere,” Spears said in a video posted on Thursday, Nov. 20. “And it’s astoundingly different from what’s [therefore there], obviously.”

“It’s so offensive and so incredibly mean,” Spears added. “And it’s like, they get paid a lot, a lot of money for that bad shot, you know?”

Spears, who was speaking in a British accent, went on to say that photographers often try to take these bad photos to get people talking and to make people think.

“That’s why I don’t like America. I never have, never will. Sorry folks, I’m sorry,” she continued, making a face. She said that there are “so many beautiful places in the world,” but she’s “stuck in this dips*** place right now.”

Spears wished fans a Merry Christmas and called herself “cooky and silly” before signing off. In the video, she had a white lace veil-like scarf over her head, which she was also wearing in the paparazzi photos.

Interestingly, Spears denied that she was the person in photos that were published back in October, despite various media outlets claiming that she was seen at RED O Mexican restaurant in Thousand Oaks, California.

“If anyone is wondering the lookalike was not me,” she captioned a post on Saturday, Oct. 25.

This time, however, she did not deny being the person in the pictures.
