Breast Implants Rumor

» MY OPINION
When I first learned of the breast implants rumor, I wasn't sure what to think. As I learned more about Britney and studied up on the subject, my own speculation deteriorated. Based on what I have learned about the subject, it has become clear to me that Britney did not get implants. I think it is highly unfair for people to give Britney a bad reputation based simply on what they've heard in the media. People need to put away rumor and speculation and rely only on solid fact.

» THE BEGINNING
So, where did this rumor begin? Well, that is not entirely known! One of the major things that set it off was the "Rolling Stone" magazine issue. Britney did a photo shoot for the magazine in April of 1999. While changing outfits, a worker for "Rolling Stone" supposedly saw breast implant scars on Britney. It's obvious that this person has nothing with which to back up their claim, and yet it was somehow believable to the public. Never was anything been seen or said that could positively assert this person's claim and yet, people will believe it.

Another topic of discussion involves her appearance differences between the "Baby One More Time" and "Sometimes" videos. What most people do not know, is that there was over eight months between the videos. "BOMT" was shot on August 6th, 7th, and 8th in 1998 and "Sometimes" was shot on April 9th and 10th in 1999. As many know, Britney did not begin her stardom until January and February of '99. "BOMT" became increasingly popular and was soon followed by her second hit video, "Sometimes." So what did most people see? All of a sudden Britney goes from "BOMT" to "Sometimes" and people notice a big difference in her; she seemed to have filled out! Most people automatically assume there wasn't much time between the video shoots when the opposite is actually true.

» STARTING OUT

People sometimes act like Britney went from nothing to something over night. This, however, is certainly not the case. The change was very gradual but time spans sometimes can be distored through the media. The picture to the right shows Britney in December of 1998. This picture would have been taken long before she "got the implants." As you can see, she doesn't exactly look flat there. It's obvious that she has something to start with - there was no sudden change.

» "SOMETIMES" EXPLANATION

"Baby One More Time"
August of 1998

Eight Months Pass »

"Sometimes"
April of 1999

Many people saw the way she looked in "Sometimes" and automatically began to assume things. Wearing a white, tight, shirt, (3) Britney looks as if she has filled out quite a bit since her first video (2). However, if you will notice, in the other "Sometimes" outfits (4) she does not appear to be nearly as large as in the white shirt (clothes can make or break you). I have heard from several different sources (and seen with my own eyes in different parts of the vide) that Britney wore a push up bra in "Sometimes," as do many girls. In "BOMT" she was wearing a sports bra which only constricts her and makes her appear to have a small bust.

» GROWTH SPURT
It is a well known fact that at the beginning of her career, Britney was really thin; she only weighed 105 pounds. After a growth spurt, she gained a bit and weighed 130 pounds, which is a considerable difference. As is natural, her weight isn't the only thing that will fluxuate when as she goes through a growth spurt. As you can see in the picture below from "BOMT" (5), Britney was thin back when she filmed the video in August '98. Then, over eight months later, she filmed "Sometimes." She had grown throughout her entire body, not just in her bust. Even Britney's mother, Lynne, was a late bloomer.

"Baby One More Time"
About 105 lbs.

"Sometimes"
About 130 lbs.

» ROLLING STONE TROUBLE
Perhaps it was more the nature of the pictures that stirred up so much controversy. Either way, the breast implants issue became a topic of interest after these photos were released. It's easy to see that Britney is, in fact, wearing a push-up bra in this picture (7), as in the others. A push-up bra is designed to do just that - push up.

» E! ENCOUNTER
E! Entertainment followed the story of a fan who did an impersonation of Britney to win a special meeting with her. The meeting took place on August 9, 1999. As you can see in the pictures (8), Britney's chest does not appear to be big at all. Since this took place in August, it would have been way after the supposed date of the implants. This event took place right after the "Sometimes" video and before the "Crazy" video. The pictures speak for themselves!

» TRL PROOF
Britney has appeared on MTV's "Total Request Live" several times. The two pictures below show her "before" and "after" getting the supposed implants. Most people assume that she got them in March or April (around the times of "Sometimes" and the "Rolling Stone" shoot). The first picture shows her on TRL in February (9) and the second in May (10) (well before and after the supposed date). It pretty much only takes a set of eyes and a brain to see there is no difference between the two.

February '99

May '99

» MAKING THE VIDEO
MTV's "Making the Video" for "Oops!...I Did It Again" provides some really great proof. In the picture below (11), you can see the top section is from her video dance rehearsals. If her breasts were implanted, they wouldn't flatten out like that! The second picture proves the same theory, but was taken during the actual video shoot.

» BRITNEY SPEAKS

Britney has denounced this rumor several times. Here is a section from the magazine "Life Story: Britney Spears (Special Collectors Edition)"

Finally, Britney caved and told all the world. "When I first signed with the record [in 1998], we took a lot of photos, and those were the pictures that got used" to publicize the album, she said "I weighed 105 pounds then; I weigh 130 now. I went through a major growth spurt." Even if she hadn't filled out on her own, she says she would never have considered artificial enhancement. "I don't see anything wrong with it, but I would never have breast implants," she told TV Guide. "If women want to do that, that's fine. But it does scare me in a way, because [girls who] think I did that view me as a bad person, or they want to go out and do it themselves. It bothers me, but that's not my fault." By the time Britney spoke out, however, the brouhaha had spread beyond the control of her publicists, mutating from a jealous-girlfriend discussion of bra size to Britney's perceived impact on the nation's youth.

» IN CONCLUSION
Although nothing can be used as 100% evidence but I believe the facts I have shown can be used to denounce this rumor. Remember that Britney is just like any other performer trying to make it in the music industry. Behind all her fame, Britney is a normal person who went through normal changes.
