X Factor[]

Spears joined the show in 2012 along with Demi Lovato as one of two replacements for fired judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger. However, she seemed to have a hard time adjecting to the demands of the show once she became a judge. Once the live shows started, Spears was mostly very critical of and sometimes very harsh to Fifth Harmony even though she did give them praise on occasion. Along with LA Reid, Spears didn't seem to like the girls very much, and when they made the top 3, Spears's shocked expression became infamous with many fans of the show and many fans of Fifth Harmony accusing her of being rude and inconsiderate. She was even accused of being disinterested in the artists that she herself was mentoring.

Spears left the show in 2012 to focus on her career and her family. She is currently headlining a show at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas.
