Expert explains how Britney Spears uses social media to be open with fans
Business strategist Marva Bailer explains how Britney Spears has connected with fans and spoken for herself on social media.
With a couple of choice words, Britney Spears asked Ozzy Osbourne and his famous family if they wanted a piece of her after they publicly expressed disdain for the "poor, old" popstar's dance videos.
In a lengthy statement shared to Instagram, the "Oops!…I Did It Again" singer expressed her irritation with "comments saying it's sad that I'm as old as I am and I'm dancing every single day on IG !!!"
She compared her situation to that of actress Kate Beckinsale, who is frequently ridiculed for the content she posts online. On her own social media, the 50-year-old recently asked for the "insidious bullying" to end.
