Britney Spears opens up about 55-hour marriage madness
Britney Spears has finally spoken out about her first marriage, which her parents annulled shortly afterward.
A short-lived marriage between Britney and her childhood friend Jason Alexander in 2004 was annulled by Britney’s parents within 55 hours of the marriage taking place.
She is quoted in a Time magazine excerpt as saying, “Jason and I got s***faced before we decided to get married.”
As she revealed, “People have asked me if I loved him. Let me be clear: Jason and I were not in love.”
In his autobiography, the pop icon wrote, “I was just honestly very drunk and very bored at the time.”
Songstress revealed that she did not take the marriage seriously and it was just for fun, but her family had a different view, “They acted like I would start World War III.”
In an interview with Page Six, Jason had contradictory claims about his marriage, saying he loved her, and that she felt the same way.
Britney married Kevin Federline only months after her previous marriage drama ended, so he only signed the annulment papers in hopes that her family would allow them to stay in touch.
