AJ McLean Hopes Britney’s Child Custody Loss Will Be A Wakeup Call

Backstreet Boys member AJ McLean

Backstreet Boys star AJ McLean, who has battled his own demons, tells The ShowBuzz that what Britney Spears needs most is support and tough love from the people in her life. “I think her unit is not as tight and there’s not as many people who are looking out for her best interest unfortunately,” the 29-year-old explained. “You just have to have a really great support group and you have to love yourself first.” McLean added, “With all that’s happened as of recent, you know losing custody, this, that and the other, I think, you know, hopefully, unfortunately, this is a very drastic thing for someone to have to go through, but I think, hopefully, this will give her a wakeup call, and time to really kind of grow and get herself together and get her head on straight.” Read more.
