Britney Spears is a bit peeved with the New
York Post after the paper published photographs of the pop star with a
drink in her hand that the paper labeled as whiskey. Spears is
reportedly demanding an apology, a revocation of the story and a financial
settlement from the paper, or her attorney will file a lawsuit.
The photograph was taken as Spears and
her fiancé were leaving Joe's Liquor store in Malibu, Ca. Spears
is reportedly pictured drinking from a small bottle. The article reportedly
suggested that Spears may have a drinking problem as the photo was alleged
to have been taken around noon.
Spears says that the photos were totally
fabricated, fictional and defamatory," because she was actually drinking
a 'Ginseng' herbal supplement that is said to act as an energy booster.
The clerk that sold Spears the beverage reportedly backs up the pop stars
story.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle,
Spears attorney Martin Singer issued the following statement: "Ms. Spears
intends to file a lawsuit against the New York Post and Bill Hoffmann,
the writer of the article, unless the paper immediately issues an appropriate
retraction, apology and financial settlement," her lawyer Martin Singer
was quoted as saying.
Wow, a celebrity accused of drinking!
