Britney Spears and her ex husband Kevin Federline have rejected newspaper reports claiming that the singer has been abusing drugs.

This comes after the Daily Mail and The Sun published stories alleging that Federline had expressed concerns that Britney was using meth. The couple were married from 2004 to 2007.

Mathew Rosengart Britney Spears' lawyer, has revealed that a legal letter was sent to the Daily Mail, calling for its editors to "immediately delete and retract that false and defamatory story and conduct an internal investigation regarding this matter and the abuse of Britney and her children". 

"Britney is indeed a public figure, but this conduct is beyond the pale and completely unacceptable. It is shoddy even by today's standards of 'journalism' and the unfair scrutiny she has faced", Rosengart furiously wrote. 

Yesterday, Britney Spears addressed these stories via Instagram, saying that it "breaks her heart" to think that her ex Kevin would make such allegations.

Spears said, "The fact that people are claiming things that are not true is so sad ... This may not even be them saying such things because it doesn't make any sense to me for them to be saying that". 

"So you guys go behind my back and talk about me ... it breaks my heart and the news is so low ... I've always felt like the news bullies me ... It's sad because everyone sits back as if that's ok to make up lies to that extent ... Why am I told I have to sit back and rise above ??? When they all go so low ??? Hopefully it is just the news being hateful and Kevin nor Preston said any of those things", she added. 

"severed ties"

Following this, former dancer Kevin Federline has also taken to Instagram to state that he had "severed ties" with reporter Daphne Barak back in March following a series of headline grabbing stories, adding that the meth storie is untrue.

Federline accused Barak and film producer Erbil Gunasti of choosing to "fabricate lies and publish the heart ache our family has endured". 

"It saddens our family that Daphne Barak and Erbil Gunasti have decided to fabricate lies and publish the heart ache our family has endured, along with the trauma of our minor children in the Daily Mail and The Sun", Federline stated. "Her lies and attempts to exploit minors is click bait and another repulsive example of where, unfortunately, certain journalism has sunk today". 

Spears and Federline share two sons together, 17 year old Sean Preston and 16 year old Jayden James. Recently, Britney Spears granted permission for Federline to relocate the pair to Hawaii.
