Hilary Duff Defends Britney Spears

Company magazine caught up with Hilary Duff for a Q&A for their July issue, which the teen star appears on the cover. Asked what she would say to Britney Spears, Duff, sounding oddly British, responded, “I really feel for her. I’ve met her a few times and she’s very sweet, hard-working and talented. Being Britney Spears must be difficult. She’s been told what to do since she was young. She’s not a bad mum – she’s a first-time mum, and, because she’s famous, she’s expected never to make mistakes. God, my mum dropped me on my head loads! The pressure she’s under would get to anyone. People need to leave her alone.”
