Though, I'm rarely articulate, so this is nothing new!

IMO, alot of the stuff doesn't even sound like mental issues, or drug problems (not saying she doesn't have them). She is just a nasty, foul, lazy, slovenly, slob of a human being.

I am sort of leaning that way myself.

Right now Britney is so far into her drug addiction/mental illness that she lacks the ability to see herself clearly (the way others see her). Anything anyone says isn't getting through to her, she's literally in her own world. She needs medical help and detox before she'll even realize what's going on in her life. Right now she's in la la land!

[Sojiita]

I think she definitely has to deal with the mental health issues along with the addiction issues if she is to have any chance. Those two have to be dealt with..then the 'growing up' and being and adult is possible-if not, she is doomed.(And I think she is as she is not gonna get the help she needs for those two issues.)

[carrie2008]

Someone drag this trainwreck to the nearest mental institution and leave her. She is definitely in need of some help for her 99943509450 mile long list of issues/problems... How long can someone continue to go on living like that? (If all those allegations are true, of course.)

It's difficult for anyone, child or adult, to be famous and then suddenly...not be. That's an emotional minefield for anyone, but especially children who are the least equipped to handle it. And some also have severe problems with their parents, many of whom manage their careers and despite laws to prevent exploitation, profit heavily from their child's labour.

Oh, I'm not saying that there isn't any argument that too much money and fame too early doesn't corrupt you. But there are a good number of child stars who grew up to be quite normal and even exceptional....Shirley Temple Black, Ron Howard, Bill Mumy, Jodie Foster, Peter Billingsley.....In fact the ones who grew up well are the ones who either took themselves out of the business or began doing work behind the camera (Foster is a good director, too).

Anyway. Britney is a moron. She would have ended up like this whether or not she got famous. She doesn't have a single working brain cell, and she has a massive ego. This just sped up the process.

[Rondette]

can't she be institutionalised? She needs to be locked up for her own good.

I actually sympathize with the bodyguard - he's a father and clearly cared about those babies, so he probably thought that if he was there at least he knew they were being taken care of. If he quit and something happened to them, he'd probably be devastated.

He did go to the authorities, he hired a lawyer and told all this stuff to a judge and thankfully the judge listened to him. I can't blame him for not going to the police - he had seen with his own eyes the same LAPD pull Britney over for driving without a license and letting her go, multiple times. Post Paris and Nicole there's no reason why anyone would think the LA County Sherriff or the LAPD would do anything when it comes to celebrities. The police would arrive and probably just say, "Well, we haven't seen anything and she hasn't physically abused them, so there's nothing we can do."

Never in all my life have I been so angry and upset over the life of someone I do not know. I have never met Britney, never will (for her sake - I hope I never will anyway)... but she has made me as angry as I can be.

Selfish. Vacuous. Imbicile.

She's nothing more than a washed-up junkie as far as I'm concerned. She has no class. No talent. No meaning. It makes me angry that I'm angry about her.

Normally the Lindsays & Paris's of the world don't bother me - they're selfish, vacuous imbiciles too - but they're not harming my sense of morals and values. Britney does. She has children - and that angers me to the point I can't actually articulate the anger... it is not a tangible sense to me right now.

Here we are, my hubby & I, desperate to have kids... and having no luck, and I have to see this foul cretin of a human being squandering the gift of children. So, so, so very angry.

I've said for a long time that I know she's a meth-head... I've seen it all before. It's infuriating that these people are only coming out and telling the world now... in some ways I question their morals for staying working for her, and for not coming out sooner to authorities if they were genuinely concerned for those kids.

In any case, I dispise Britney with all my heart. If it weren't for her money she'd be a dirty old crack ho in a trailer someplace. The only difference between some cracked out hooker and Britney is money. I can have heart and understand the cracked out hooker's plight... Britney just angers me to the core of my existence.

I hate her. She can overdose for good for all I care.

First, Ms Venus, I'm sorry for your struggles to have kids. I had a taste of that, before the docs were able to find and fix a minor problem. And I can completely understand your anger at the complete unfairness of the situation.

Second, one of the 'bullet points' didn't ring true to me, the one that she runs redlights and drives on the wrong side of the road, and it freaks the kids out. Are the kids old enough to know they are in danger? I don't think they are...which makes me think this statement is false. I wonder how much of the rest of it is true.

Since it's Britney, sadly I do think that most of what he says is true. I really do believe she will be dead within a few years. What will really suck will be all the tributes to her, and the Princess Di-like flower piles and crying that will go on. At least Di did some good in the world...she went out of her way to touch and hug AIDS patients when the epidemic was first becoming a big deal publicly, and most people treated AIDS patients like lepers. Britney has never done a thing to further a cause.

She has NANNIES, she doesn't FEED HER KIDS, she doesn't CLEAN HER HOUSE, she doesn't GROCERY SHOP unless she WANTS to, she probably doesn't bathe them, and I'm going to bet that she has never even seen a washer or dryer. WHAT THE FUCK IS HER PROBLEM???

She never even sees her kids unless she is being photographed on Robertson, because apparently if she is home w/them, and they start to cry she just hands them off to someone else!! SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEM AT ALL!!!!!!!! She's NOT ACCOUNTABLE!

I do all of the things that I have listed and much much more EVERYDAY (and I'm sure alot of other people out there do too) and she has the nerve to act like SHE IS THE VICTIM?? She's miserable??? What is she talking about?? HOW DARE SHE?


God I want to slap her silly.....slap that weave right off. I said earlier that this was fucking sad, and I meant it--for the BOYS, but she needs a serious fucking help and a wake up call SOON. SHE will never get my sympathy.

*applause for Lynnie*

So true. So very true and I agree completely.

I'm in the same boat. I have no sympathy for her at all, and stories like this: Bodyguard reveals Britney's 'drug torment' (basically the Aussie media interpretation of this article we're discussing) just make me want to grab the popcorn and watch the trainwreck.

It'd be hilarious if those two boys weren't involved. Get them away from her pronto.

And that's the thing that angers me too - the others are only harming themselves. She is harming those kids.

[Bellatheball]

Her dad calling her a "sick little girl" is fair in my mind. Hell, I'm 35 and my mom still calls me her "little girl" from time to time. She always says "You may be a grown up but you'll always be my little girl." I'm guessing that's true for most parents, BS's included.

That said, I'm not her parent so I'm comfortable saying she's a young woman who, most importantly is a mom, and she can't seem to make a good decision to save her life. While she clearly seems to need psychological, physical and substance abuse help, every one should be focusing on those kids. They didn't asked to be born into this shitty home. Someone should step up and make sure they are (1) safe, (2) loved, (3) secure and (4) have a routine.

I understand the anger directed at her but she's not of healthy mind. She can't be. So to expect her to conform to what the rest of us think/know is appropriate doesn't totally make sense. She needs help and her kids need to be taken to a stable home.

[Cali]

^^ I respectfually disagree with you. Her not being of a healthy mind is a fact, but its something that things can be done to remedy and she's turned her back on all that help.

I just hate her for having no sense of RESPONSIBLITY. I dont have kids, but I do have a dog so I understand in a small way. Sometimes I dont feel like going outside to smoke, or taking her for a walk, or picking up the dog crap, or waking up at 3am to get her more water. BUT I DO IT. When you take responsiblity for another life, everything changes. For Britney, NOTHING has changed. This is what makes me the most angry about her.

However, I'm betting that now that the courts are wise to it all, things will change. The judge has the authority to do all sorts of things now, from forcing her to enter rehab or face jail time, to having her psychologically evaluated and potentially admitted involuntarily. And have her kids taken away.

An angry judge is a creative judge and it sounds like she's got a good one, so I think its bound to happen.

I dont think thats something to latch onto... people could be honking at her, she could be swerving or cussing, etc. All things that could freak a child out.
