Britney Spears's publicist recently released a statement saying that Spears's recent erratic behavior is due to symptoms of Post-Partum depression.
However, in a recent interview, a few of Spears's close friends, including her ex-husband of 48 hours, Jason Alexander, stated that Britney has been invloved in drugs such as cocaine and ecstacy for over three years. Many, including radio-marketing specialist Sandra Poulin in this article: http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/entertainment/2007-03/03/content_818642.htm find it hard to believe that Britney would have enough energy to party if she were truly depressed.
So, wasn't this a bad move on the part of Spears's publicist? The media are going crazy over this issue, and anything her publicist says will be heard or read by millions. If it is apparent that the publicist is lying, she is completely ruining her reputation with the media and with consumers of the media.
It seems to me that a statement more along the lines of "Britney realizes that she has issues in her life that needs to be resolved, and she is now doing whatever it takes to overcome those issues and be the best mother she can be." would have been more effective.
What do you think?
