Britney Spears is not mincing words. In a November 1 Instagram message aimed squarely at her sister, she declared“I will find a new family!!!”and accused Jamie Lynn Spears of never letting her hold niece Ivy during COVID-era visits to Louisiana. Britney also claimed ex-husband Kevin Federline wouldn’t let her use the bathroom when she came to pick up their children, adding another layer to one of pop culture’s longest-running family sagas.
In far heavier news, Ellen DeGeneres paid tribute to Matthew Wright, the executive producer she called“the glue to our entire family at The Ellen Show.”Wright died October 30 while working remotely in Los Angeles, and Ellen shared in a November 2 video that the two had been planning a new project together. The tribute has drawn an outpouring of love from fans and former staff.
Over in sports, Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell was carted off during Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings with a suspected neck injury. Head coach Dan Campbell said preliminary indications are positive and the player’s family is in good spirits, though the team is keeping further details private as the focus shifts to recovery. What do you think: should family business stay offline, or does Britney have every right to speak her truth?
