Britney Spears fans call out double standard with nude photos

Controversy is raging over Britney Spears’ latest nude photos, as fans question the double standard when other stars are praised for going nude.

Britney Spears fans have questioned why Kim Kardashian and other celebrities are praised when they post nude photos to social media, but when the pop star does the same, haters comment that she “needs help”.

“Kim Kardashian have [sic] four kids and she posts naked/sexy photos and everyone loves her and applauds her, but Britney posts something like that and needs help or the conservatorship?” one fan tweeted before asking, “WHY IS THIS HAPPENING IN 2022?”

The Twitter user attached screenshots of fans commenting with heart and flame emojis under one of Kardashian’s naked photos but telling Spears to “put some clothes on” and calling her posts “so concerning”.

“No cos this is really strange to me. Why do y’all EAT UP the Kardashians when they show their bodies but comment sh*t like this when Britney Spears does it? People are so fake woke it’s sad and pathetic, stay out of successful women’s business,” another defender tweeted with screenshots of more negative comments about Spears going nude.

“So Kim Kardashian can do this but Britney Spears can’t? And you all wanna call her crazy when she is doing the same thing all the other girls are doing? Make it make sense,” a third fan agreed.

“#FreeBritney She’s still celebrating a little thing called FREEDOM! And some are saying that maybe the cship [conservatorship] should have stayed in place because of these pics? Did anyone say Kim Kardashian needed a cship [conservatorship] when she posted hers?” another said, referring to Spears’ nearly 14-year conservatorship ending in November 2021.

“OMG I just googled Kim Kardashian naked, if you think Britney is unwell because of this picture then Kim needs to be institutionalised,” one more fan tweeted.

Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian is "praised" for posing naked.

The pregnant Toxic singer, 40, made headlines on Tuesday after she posted various nude selfies that she took prior to falling pregnant.

She posed totally naked but covered her breasts with her hands and put a pink heart emoji over her modesty.

While fans celebrated Spears, many trolls criticised her stripped-down snaps.

Instagram users commented harsh messages including “stop it” and even claimed the Grammy winner’s dad, Jamie Spears, “may have been right” in putting her under a conservatorship in February 2008.

Britney’s latest naked photo raised eyebrows.

But fans argued that Spears “can do what makes her happy,” calling her a “strong and empowering woman” who is “sexually confident” and “making a statement being free”.

The Gimme More singer announced her pregnancy with her fiance, Sam Asghari, in April.

The personal trainer-turned-actor, 28, popped the question in September 2021, and the couple have since picked a date for their wedding.

Spears is already mum to sons Sean Preston, 16, and Jayden James, 15, with ex-husband Kevin Federline.
