Avril Lavigne has famously maligned fellow pop star Britney Spears in the past, but is now showing support for the troubled entertainer.

In the new issue of Maxim, Lavigne launches a verbal attack on the paparazzi for their treatment of Spears.

“No one else has it as hard as Britney,” she told the magazine. “I feel bad for her. How does she even think with all those flashbulbs? When I’m being followed, everything’s thrown off. They run red lights. They cause accidents. She can’t even walk to her car. F—ing stalkers.”

Lavigne has had her own public run-ins with the paparazzi and has been known to flip off and spit on the photogs. The singer is also speaking out against false reports that she and husband, Sum 41’s Deryck Whibley, are expecting their first child.

“Remember in high school when people would start fake rumors about you?” she asked. “Well, this isn’t high school. It’s like, the entire world.”
