BRITNEY SPEARS’ REP CALLS INSTAGRAM COMMENT ALLEGATIONS ‘ABSURD’ – (06/20/2019)

Representatives from Britney Spears’ team are responding to allegations that they’ve been deleting positive comments from the singer’s Instagram posts “to keep up the illusion that she needs help.”

“We unequivocally deny the absurd allegations that we have promoted negative statements or deleted positive posts from Instagram and are considering appropriate action,” a rep told Entertainment Tonight on Wednesday.

The statement comes after the Instagram account absolutebritneycom shared a post accusing her team of deleting comments. “So Britney’s team is deleting positive comments on her Instagram post and leaving negative ones to keep up the illusion that she needs help!” the post reads. “They were all so quick to remove all comments before but now all the sudden they are leaving all negative ones but removing positive ones! How much longer is this going to be?!? This has to be human rights violation!!!! #FreeBritney”

Britney’s mom, Lynne Spears, replied with her agreement of the post. “I can’t believe u just posted this because I had a friend tell me the same thing! I posted something and tried to go back and find it and none of it is in order and I couldn’t find mine, which I JUST POSTED???” she wrote. “I know you are a true fan and love her so thank you for pointing this out because I have had others say the same.”

Fans have been supporting Britney lately amid status hearings about her conservatorship with her father, Jamie Spears, as well as the singer’s restraining order against her former manager, Sam Lutfi, and her battle with paparazzi over allegedly doctored photos of her.

Meanwhile, Britney wants fans to know that it’s not so easy for her to lose weight when she wants to. On Tuesday, she opened up to her Instagram followers about what it’s like when she tries to slim down. “I’ve been working really hard to [lose] weight …. and for me 3 pounds is like 7 pounds it’s a lot. I don’t like doing too much cardio,” she captioned a video of her doing her favorite workout moves.

IRINA SHAYK HAD A ‘DIFFICULT’ TIME DEALING WITH BRADLEY COOPER, LADY GAGA RUMORS – (06/20/2019)

Being in a relationship when people think your partner is stepping out is tough in any circumstances, but in the limelight it’s almost unimaginable. According to a report in Us Weekly, Irina Shayk did not take kindly to the constant rumors that her partner Bradley Cooper was hooking up with his co-worker Lady Gaga.

The pair were working on A Star Is Born together, with Cooper directing and both of them leading as star-crossed lovers. 

“The movie had a major impact on Bradley and Irina’s relationship,” a source says exclusively in the new issue of Us Weekly of the former couple, who broke up earlier this month after more than four years together. “Even though there was nothing romantic between Bradley and Gaga, the noise was difficult for Irina to deal with.”

Another source tells Us that Gaga “felt bad” about the rumors and she has no plans to “get together” with Cooper after his split with the supermodel, with whom he shares Lea, 2. 

Meanwhile, a report in ET claims Cooper is completely focused on his relationship with Lea, but that he still has a “deep friendship.”
