Exclusive: Yoko Ono: Britney Spears Is a Survivor

Friday – September 18, 2009 – 5:38pm

Britney Spears has come a long way, but Yoko Ono, John Lennon's 76-year-old widow, thinks the pop star deserves more respect.

See photos of Britney Spears in concert!

"I think that the world was not fair to her, and they're just using her and not dignifying her," she told Usmagazine.com at the ThreeAsFour Homage to Yoko Ono on Thursday in NYC.

Up until last year, headlines bearing Spears' name reported on her bizarre psychotic behaviors, drug use, and a tumultuous custody battle with ex Kevin Federline over her two sons, Sean Preston, 4, and Jayden James, 3.

Look back on Britney's most scandalous year yet?

Now, Spears, 27, is hard at work promoting her sixth album, Circus, on a sold-out international tour.

"I think she's a survivor and she's doing very well," Ono told Us.

    Anyone that has been deeply in love and been betrayed knows what Britney has been through. She had to grow up fast and realize that some dreams don't come true.

    Shame on Us for using the term "psychotic" to describe Britney's erratic and drug/alcohol induced behavior. There is certainly no evidence in the public realm to support such an irresponsible diagnosis from a gossip rag.

    i think anyone that bashes britney is just jealous of her. she has come along ways and has alot to be proud of. she is also an awesome mom . she had mental problems like millions of other americans. sad there are so many ignorant people that should judge themselves first. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BRIT !

    September 20, 2009 - 1:33pm I feel sorry for Britney - she had to support her whole family Says: Let's face it. No one in Britney's family has jobs. Who is going to support Jamie Lee and family??? Such a shame Jamie Lee got pregnant so young. ------------ her name is Jamie Lynn stupid not Jamie Lee, OMG get your gossip right

    That is complete B.S.! Britney NEVER took responsibility for her horrendous behavior. She is one of these people that got lucky and thinks the world owes her. She is a disgrace to her pre-teen fans, her family (she doesn't have any friends that aren't paid) and the public. A person who beats cancer is a survivor! BRITNEY SPEARS IS A JOKE!

    OMG! I actually agree with Yoko KooKoo. I must have a fever

    Oh Please! britney has millions of dollars, her father controls her every move and she has access to the top people in the business, that's why she was able to clean herself up. She needs to put some clothes on and stop relying on her body to sell records. She's a mother of two boys and her first priority is to be a role model to them! I haven't been to her concert but every picture I've seen of it is her being sexy and provacative. All she knows how to do is strut around stage half-naked. It's played out already!

    I absolutley love Britney. She IS such a survivor, she made so many mistakes and went through some rough patches, but she's back on track and is an amazing mother. I never stopped believing in her and i never will. There's not many songs of hers that i don't like, i'm excited to see what she has for us next!!

    I'm guessing having alot of money doesn't hurt the ability to rebound either

    She's a pig, always was, saw her on punk'd last night. Couldn't even keep her boobs in a dress, and didn't care either. Skank kids keep her in money.

    I'm sure having a bazillion of dollars doesn't hurt her ability to rebound either!!

    Well said Yoko! Britney has overcome a lot and she is definitely back on top! I went to her concert in Atlanta and it was MIND BLOWING! She's obviously very dedicated to her music that kind of performance isnt created over night!

    For once, Yoko got it right! Brit was used and abused since very young. Let's give her credit for finding the strength to change her life.
  • September 20, 2009 - 1:30pm Britney still doesn't look good Says:

    I am very happy that Britney is better. However, her personal trainer and sylist, need to be fired. Britney STILL is not bikini ready. She used to look so good a few pounds ago. Having two kids is no excuse to be packing on 10 extra pounds. Not when you make a living wearing skimpy bikini's on stage. Also, who is dying Britney's hair?? It looks straight out of a trailer park! It's too blonde and fake looking. I wish she would get a make over and lose a little more weight.

    Yoko Ono is a weirdo, so is Britney. Birds of a feather.
