Britney Spears Upset About Unauthorized Honeymoon Photos - Elites TV - Your Elite News Source
Pop star Britney Spears expressed her anger at 'Us' magazine after it published unauthorized photographs of her honeymoon with husband Kevin Federline last week.
Spears said she deliberately choose a location in Fiji where she would be promised 'absolute privacy and seclusion' but apparently, staff members at the resort the couple was staying at took photographs of them on the beach and sold it to the magazine.
'Us' magazine released a statement saying, 'Britney should start her own magazine if she'd like to dictate her own coverage.'
Spears released a statement saying, 'Unfortunately, staff members took photographs of us, which we allowed them to take once we were assured they were being taken only for private use in a scrap book they gave us as a souvenir.'
A response from 'Us' magazine raised doubts about Spears' position. 'Coming from a celebrity who sold pictures of both her wedding and her stepdaughter, it's unlikely the issue here is privacy.'
The photographs in question show Spears and Federline on the beach and eating breakfast at their resort on Fiji.
This is not the first time Spears has had tension with 'Us' magazine. After she and Federline married in September, 'Us' claimed the wedding was a hoax, which Spears called 'ludicrous.'
It remains to be seen is Spears and Federline will take any legal action against 'Us' but regardless, the photos have already been released.
