Louis Walsh has claimed that Britney Spears was taking “so much medication” while judging the US series of The X Factor that she struggled to sit up straight in her chair.
Asked whether Spears should have been in treatment rather than judging The X Factor, he added: “She was getting millions of dollars to do it, so why the f*** wouldn’t she sit there?”
Speaking to The Irish Independent, Walsh said that alarm bells began to ring for him while working with Spears on the show.
There has been a renewed interest in Spears’s mental health following the release of Framing Britney Spears, a documentary looking into the singer’s rise to fame and legal conservatorship.
