Fred Durst has lashed out at fans and the media for criticizing his relationship with pop princess Britney Spears. The Limp Bizkit frontman insists people need to “chill” about the unconventional love match between Durst, 31 and Spears, 21. Writing on the band’s official website, Durst says, “Well I’m sure we’ve had it up to our necks with all the hype. Isn’t it amazing how something very simple, pure, sweet, and innocent can be blown so far out of proportion? Who really gives a s**t that I wanna be with Britney Spears? It seems as if everyone does. The only person that should give a s**t is Britney. I never meant to be in this situation. S**t happens. What’s the big deal? Yeah, she is a big pop star and her last relationship with another big pop star was a big deal, but damn y’all need to chill. Do you think I should not like someone because you don’t want me too? F**k that! You people are my family and I respect you, as you should me. I never meant to fall into all of this s***.”
