Britney Spears threatened to sue a Florida radio station unless they removed billboards of her with a shaven head.
Lawyers for the 'Toxic' singer told WFLZ radio to take down adverts featuring three pictures of the 26-year-old singer bald and snarling.
Images of Britney can only be used with her consent.
A letter was sent to station owners Clear Channel Communications from law firm Lavely and Singer dated June 14.
It read: "Clear Channel was already exposed to substantial liability for its offensive, unauthorised commercial exploitation of my client's photograph on the billboards.
"Once again, we demand the immediate removal of the billboards, confirmed by documentary evidence and verified under penalty of perjury."
The pictures were taken as she attacked a photographer's car with an umbrella, the night before she entered Malibu's Promises rehab facility.
The billboards featured three identical pictures of the singer next to the radio station's logo and a picture of talk show host Todd Schnitt.
Above each picture were the slogans "Total nut jobs", "Shock Therapy", and "Certifiable".
Schnitt revealed Clear Channel have now removed the billboards, adding, "I'm not happy with that".

If you don't want unflattering pictures posted of yourself, DON'T behave in an unflattering manner. It's not illegal to post those pictures anywhere, I hope she loses the lawsuit and learns to grown up and take responsibility for herself. We all do dumb things in life, she needs to learn to laugh at herself and get over it. What a low self esteemed bimbo.
who???
I hear you. You're too cool. WHO? She can't even put on a good show anymore is what I heard.
