Britney Spears opened up about several troubling paparazzi photos of her with her first son Sean Preston in her memoir The Woman in Me.

After giving birth to her son in 2005, the 41-year-old Princess of Pop was photographed by the paparazzi with him sitting on her lap while driving.

While pregnant with her second son Jayden James, additional photos emerged of her almost falling while holding Sean Preston in her arms.

Both incidents were used by the press to suggest that she was a bad mom. However, Britney painted a different picture to explain why she was in those situations, describing “the aggression of the paparazzi” as the “main danger” she faced at that time.
