Washington, Dec 14(ANI): Soul singer Mary J. Blige came out in support of troubled singers Amy Winehouse and Britney Spears.

The 36-year-old singer, who also once battled the tabloids, admits that she feels sorry for the stars who have constantly been fighting their personal problems in public.

'The Breakthrough' singer said she hates to see these stars going through so much.

"They're human beings, and they're young, in a business that doesn't give a hoot about you. It's just sad," Contactmusic quoted Blige, as saying.

"I hate to see any of these females go through it.

"I was young, and I did dumb stuff - I was doing worse than that," she added.

Winehouse had friends worried over her mental health after she was pictured wandering the streets outside her London home in just a bra and jeans recently, while Spears is currently struggling through the custody battle with her ex-husband Kevin Federline over their two sons. (ANI)
