Friends fear for Britney Spears after dark family past


January 18, 2008 12:00am


Long before Spears' downfall two of her uncles, now in their 40s, went off the rails and ended up homeless with extensive criminal records.

Although her dad tried to help his brothers by finding them occasional work as odd-job men, Spears has tried to distance herself from her hillbilly uncles, who live as drifters in her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana.

One of the brothers is known locally as "Road Kill Willie" because he survives by cooking and eating animals that have been hit by cars.

He has convictions for burglary and selling drugs and in the past has spent time living in tents or sleeping in cars.

Meanwhile, her uncle June has in the past been charged with assault with a deadly weapon and driving under the influence.

In 1991 his then wife Jodi filed a restraining order against him after he allegedly kicked her in the head and chest and threatened to kill her.

One local has been quoted as saying: ''Britney's uncles are a couple of the biggest outlaws in Kentwood.''

Spears was spotted yesterday looking at pregnancy testing kits in a chemists with British photographer boyfriend Adnan Ghalib.

Newspaper reports have stated Ghalib has cruel intentions with Spears, with her cousin Alli, whom she is close to, branding him creepy.

Whatever the case, Britney Spears is far from solving her problems.

Addiction specialist Dr Drew Pinsky said: ''I have never treated an addict who didn't have a family history of it.

''It's how her father treated her, its her parents divorce, it's genetics.''

In the past friends of the Spears family have claimed that Lynne's determination for Britney to succeed was born out of a burning desire for her daughter to have a better life than she did.

Ironically, it seems it is the troubled background that Britney Spears managed to escape through stardom that now risks forcing her into oblivion.

Uncle June? Like the Sopranos?

Awwww, it's really painful to see how nice and clean she looked until 2003 and what happened to her from then on. I really feel sort of sorry for her because I think she's seriously nuts and should check into a soul asylum for several months or longer till she gets better. She needs to get away from the paparazzi who constantly tell her that she is gorgeous and great and blabla. The paparazzi seem to be the only people who talk to her so she believes it's true what they say. She should be surrounded by regular people who make her realize what a joke she is and that she's embarrassing and humiliating herself every day.

Nothing she could do now would shock me.

I realized that, now, but I wasn't expecting to see it. Kind of a shocker.... but I can laugh at it now instead of being all

It really is totally Family Guy style, so most fans out there can appreciate it, and I love Family Guy even though it's terrible so, LOL.

Oh, a great opportunity to bring up the greatest epitaph of all time, when he fell in the bathtub: 'Your sisters cunt'.

I still die laughing whenever I watch that episode. Pure gold.

Now I understand the ilk she comes from. Makes perfect sense.

[Folieadeux]

Gosh she comes from quite a sad - and hilarious - family.

Grandmother who suicided
Aunt who died of cancer
Another fame whore aunt who will talk to any rag about Britney
Two defunct uncles; 'Road Kill Willie' LOL and Uncle hobo June
Alcoholic Dad
Divorced parents
Knocked up teen sister
Unemployed brother
Famewhore cousin

Then theres the Queen, train wreck Britney who just about outdoes all the craziness. Gah! Wonder what family reunions are like at the Spears home?
