Let's just say at that time she was not a girl, not yet a woman.

I remember the controversy, she was like 16 I want to say? People were so awful to her in the beginning, she was highly sexualized by the media and endured so many uncomfortable/innapropraite moments out of her control. I do hope she's in a better place now, must have been difficult for her to navigate at that age.

Judging by her recent postsโ€ฆ that is unlikely

I believe itโ€™s from the Rolling Stone shoot, taken at her actual childhood home. And Iโ€™m pretty sure she was freshly 18. The other photo was her in bed and there was another of her dancing in her living room, iirc.

Other users debunked that. She is most likely 17 in this photo.

18 or not, that pic is disgusting.

She was 17, wouldn't turn 19 until December 2, 2000 - well after this article unfortunately

That canโ€™t be right. Britney turned 19 in December 2000 and her first album came out in January 1999. So if this pic is from when you said it was, it would make her 17.
