Britney Spears’ Frequent X Factor Breaks Due To ADHD

Britney Spears has been sparking under-the-radar talk about whether or not if she was “well” enough every since she was confirmed as a judge on X Factor USA with a $15 million dollar contract. Now, perhaps naysayers had valid concerns as Spears has ongoing walkouts while filming for the reality show.

Reports are now that the “Slave” singer is suffering from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), but is not able to take medication for it.

“Britney was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in her teens and used to take medication for it,” a source tells Radar Online.

So, why isn’t she continuing with the ADHD medication?

“The medication helped her deal with it; however, she can’t take it now because it interferes with the other medications she takes for her mental health issues. Britney’s current team of doctors strictly prohibits her from taking Adderall or Ritalin, which are commonly given to people with ADHD.”

The 30-year-old first day on-the-job with fellow judges—producer Simon Cowell, singer Demi Lovato, and veteran record executive LA Reid—provided her first abrupt exit following another time during that exact filming. Then she snapped at Simon, 52, during auditions as he was being his usual boorish self to where the “Baby One More Time” singer informed him of his rudeness.

However, the multi-million business mogul was made aware of Brit’s medical history before the contract was finalized.

“Look, Britney basically has the attention span of a 10-year-old at times. It’s not alarming to Simon at all and he is fully supportive of Britney doing whatever she needs to do during filming.”

Do you think Britney should continue on with the show?

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
