Britney Spears publicist has moved on to begin her own company.

Sonia Muckle, only became Spears publicist this past October after Leslie Sloane Selnick left that same month.

Sonia Muckle has helped Britney deal with press coverage which includes news of Britney’s filing for divorce and subsequent partying.

Sonia insists her departure has nothing to do with Britney’s recent behaviour: “I left of my own accord. This has been in the works for several months.”

I’m thinking that Britney can probably get along without a publicist for a while. With all her partying and uhm other forms of exposure lately, she’s been making the celebrity gossip news almost daily.
