Britney Spears felt like something wasn’t right in the United States.
Which is why the “Baby One More Time” singer revealed on her 43rd birthday that she’d made the decision to move to Mexico in an effort to get away from the paparazzi.
“It really kind of hurts my feelings,” Britney shared in an Instagram video Dec. 2, “that the paparazzi make my face look like I’m wearing, like a white Jason mask. It doesn’t even look like me.”
The “Stronger” singer added that the paparazzi have “always been incredibly cruel to” her and that while she knows she’s “not perfect at all by any means,” she believes the way that they’ve treated her has been “extremely mean and cruel.”
As she explained, “And that’s why I’ve moved to Mexico.”
Britney—who shares sons Sean, 19, and Jayden, 18, with ex-husband Kevin Federline—was seen landing in Cabo San Lucas on Dec. 2 in photos obtained by TMZ and appeared to be all smiles sporting a white trench coat, black hat and sunglasses.
