Britney Spears Receives Criticism for Criminal Video

She’s usually pretty socially-conscious, but Britney Spears is making waves in the UK with her newly-shot “Criminal” music video.

The “Toxic” songstress filmed the shoot in the Hackney borough of London, an area that sustained major damage from riots back in August.

And the fact that Brit Brit brandishes a gun during some of the scenes has caused an uproar with government officials and locals alike.

One city council member declared, “I think she should apologize and make a sizable donation to a Hackney charity that deals with young people… for the rudeness and damage she’s done to this community.”
