Britney Spears fires new assistant blames her for bad publicity

Britney Spears has blamed her recent bad publicity on her new assistant Shannon Funk. The troubled pop princess fired Funk after an interview that left people fearing for her mental health. OK! magazine editor-in-chief Sarah Ivens described the interview with Spears as “heartbreaking.”

 

Spears reportedly got angry and left the photo shoot after only two hours and blames Funk for the bad publicity. Spears hired the new assistant earlier this month after she and her cousin/assistant Alli Sims fought in June.

 

“Britney felt a lot of her recent troubles started and stopped with Shannon. Britney thought she was talking badly about her. She was rude and Britney felt she was letting business e-mails fall by the wayside,” a source said of Spears and Funk.
