According to the website Radar, Spears has been informed by her newest publicist that she will no longer be representing her. Last October, Leslie Sloane Zelnick was fired by Spears, who had decided to manage her own image.
Sonia Muckle, who is a representative for Jive Records, Spears’ label, was acting as publicist for the Toxic singer, and attempting to create a favorable media image for Spears. The task was not easy with the pop singer’s new-found party lifestyle and being photographed several times without underwear.
Muckle has announced that she is leaving Spears and Jive Records and will start her own company. Muckle explained, "I left of my own accord. This has been in the works for several months."
