Mary J Blige believes that angered fans and the media need to cut Britney Spears some slack for her decision to party after her split from husband Kevin Federline.

Mary said recently: “I know that at some point in our lives we’ve had a situation like Britney’s, meaning that we all were with someone we thought loved us and actually didn’t.”

“We make mistakes. I am looking at Britney as a human being just like myself. I messed up big time in my life.”

“I love Britney and I send out all of my prayers and all great energy to her because she’s young and she is going through it. She is going to get through. She is going to come out on the other side real nice I think.”
