It’s not easy being Britney Spears.
As we reported, the …Baby One More Time singer posted a video on Instagram Story accusing the paparazzi of editing photos to make her look “40 pounds bigger than [she is] today,” when in reality, she is “skinny as a needle.”

Though the 37-year-old is currently vacationing in Miami with boyfriend Sam Asghari and is “trying to relax and have fun,” unfortunately, “changing locations doesn’t make things any easier.”
According to an ET source on Monday:
“Her fans can see in her video that she is concerned about what everyone thinks at all times and it’s stressful for her… Britney has always been concerned about her body because her physique is so much a part of her career… She feels she needs to look great at all times. Right now she just needs to focus on stability and getting the help she needs without feeling she is under a microscope.”
The insider added:
“She’s fragile and her emotions are up and down… The family and her doctors are just glad her behavior has improved a bit but they know this is an ongoing problem that could get worse at any moment and they are helping her to regulate and remain on her medication.”
Additionally, the source said the musician has “been struggling tremendously with insomnia.”
“Her team is trying to get her to establish a daily routine, but the problem is she doesn’t have structure in her day or a schedule… They are encouraging her to develop a routine in terms of her bedtimes and wake-up times.”
Over the weekend, Spears said in the clip:
“Hello, and please don’t judge me, I look haggard right now… But my question to all of you is, a lot of fans in our world today, they always are subject to really criticize people and say that the pictures and videos that they’re posting are either not on time or they’re fake… But no one ever really asks, ‘Are the paparazzi pictures fake, and do the paparazzi people do stuff to the pictures and is the news really real?’ It’s a conspiracy theory that I’m actually interested in. Yesterday I went swimming. I look like I’m 40 pounds bigger [in the pics] than I am today. This is how I am right now and I’m skinny as a needle. You tell me, what is real?'”
Paparazzi photos aside, we just hope Britney is doing well!
