Britney’s Bodyguard: She Has Mental Problems
Britney Spears chats on the phone outside of her new Malibu estate on Saturday. The pop princess reportedly caught a flight to Atlanta, Georgia for the weekend, presumably a little after this phone call. Good thing she flew and didn’t drive!
In a recent video interview with London’s News of the World, Britney’s former bodyguard Tony Barretto claims that the troubled star nearly suffered a drug overdose post-rehab last spring.
“She has mental problems, and they are not helped by her taking drugs and alcohol,” Barretto says in the interview. “She was in a terrible state, just sweating and shaking. Her pupils were huge— we thought she was dying.”
Added Barretto about Britney’s love for nudity: “”Before I even started working for her, I was warned about her stripping. I must have seen her naked dozens of times and each time I’ve been extremely embarrassed. She strips off anywhere — at home, recording studios and clubs.”

well at least her outfit looks like she was going to GA…lol.
looks and dresses like trash. From pop princess to pop tart
third???????
she looks better , i hope she does well. PEOPLE STOP HATING ON HER, MAKING HER FEEL BAD ISNT GUNNA MAKE A BAD SITUATION BETTER.
I am all for loving one another, but sometimes you have to be harsh for someone dense to get the point.
She was in Atlanta??? Didn’t hear about it…..Why would she come here???
Residential neighborhoods should be off limits to paps. I don’t care who you are, celeb or not, you have a right to protection and privacy.
I really used to like Britney Spears, but the way she’s treating herself now? >;( its really saddening.

she’s not wearing pants AGAIN? WTHHhhh
shes soo pretty
Britney needs to stay away from LA for a while. She should stay in Georgia, away from the photographers and the media. Just stay focus on producing her music and getting all her stuff back on track and Britney should be fine. Let’s hope, she won’t make another mistake.
she looks like a soccer mom, with that scrunchy, that jean blouse and those gold bracelets…ewwwwwwwww
No do not come to Ga we don’t want your trainwreck @ss here thank you very much. You don’t know how to take care of your kids, yourself, a dog, anything. H*ll, you don’t even know how to put on a pair of pants! Go somewhere else and just sit and get on meds and get some much needed psych help.
I truly believe she is bipolar, and have since the head-shaving incident. Many sufferers try to ‘cope’ with their symptoms by using/abusing drugs and alcohol. Typical symptoms include irrational, wild behavior (including inappropriate sexual behavior), impulsiveness (remember the Las Vegas ‘joke wedding’ - then the sudden marriage to KFed), and just bizarre behavior in general when in a manic state. And many sufferers won’t stick with the meds because it ‘dulls’ their senses. She desperately needs help, and I hope she gets it.
This ex bodyguard obviously wants his 15 minutes of fame. Anyone who starts giving public interviews to discredit someone like this, whether his story is true or not should be disgusted with himself. If it is all true, he should have reported it to the necessary authorities and moved on, not glorify himself to be the big man hes not and make money out of it. Hope someone shoots him in a dark alley.
well mr bodyguard was paid 50 grand for the interview i guess he’s a reliable source, just like us weekly and 90% of the bloggers. its a soap opera created by the media, and all the people that actually comment are idiotitic ignornant morons who dont have anything better to do with there own lives. shows the stupidity and the low moral of our country when britney spears life gets more media coverage than the messed up troops coming home.
DEFINITELY, MEDIA COVERAGE OF YOUNG HOLLYWOOD IS OUT OF CONTROL. WHO CARES PEOPLE……DONT JUDGE AND PRAY FOR EVERYONE IN NEED. YOU HONESTLY DONT KNOW ANY OF THESE CELEBRITES, YOU ONLY KNOW WHAT THE MEDIA FEEDS YOU AND PEOPLE ARE DUMB ENOUGH TO BUY INTO IT.
The poor girl is probably suffering from postpartum depression it has similar symptoms to bipolar —- major mood swings, crazy irrational behavior ect. It is hormone driven — she needs help but sadly has cut off or fired anyone who told her the truth. In her state of mind she can’t hear truth because she is not thinking clearly.
If you think about it or read the comments people leave on all these websites its shows how incredible disgusting people are. If you think about it perez is a example of someone who was probably a loser in high school and now making up for it.
Not surprise by her LOVE for NUDITY - who goes out without underwear & flashes the most private part of you to the world ?? If she could she’d rather come out nude (without anything) she’s so sloppy & her clothes is always almost dropping or coming off.
Her ex boyguard isn’t credible! He is going after her money.
I think k-fraud paid him..since his time is ticking down, I mean it is getting dirty!
If this body guard had anything on her
1st he said that he loved the children, and that is the reason why he is coming forward..OK..really..if he truly love those children..why did he wait until now to come out, and say that she was on drugs? This seem like exploitation to me! As soon as she fired his ass, it started to get fishy! HOW MUCH IS K-FRAUD PAYING HIM? That is what we all should be asking? As soon as she fired him, he wanted money..he isn’t credible! It is sad because everybody has made money off of her! I think that she need to protect herself! It is sooo sad! This Chris rocker girl is making money off of her, k-fraud is making money off of her, shar is making money off of her, and now her body guard is trying to make money off of her, and the public loves it! SMH!
I wish Britney would defend herself against creeps like him..why won’t she give any statements?
Stand up for yourself Britney!
Oh and by the way, “really reliable source”..I’d belive his “I-want-to-save-the-children-crap” if he wasn’t laughing all the way to the bank.

So, there are sane people out there
she need help…
she sure is not stable…could be depression
pls seek help…depression is not somethg u can deal alone….
y’all r ganna shut thefck up and get a facking life all u need is to step out of her personal life and get ur nasty faces on more useful things instead of briging the poor girl down leave her alone she’s the best damn thing that ever hapened to music and y’all r speaking like if she’s a famous 4 being famous well i remind u that she’s one of the 10 biggest selling female artist in history with a tamendeous 80 million of record sold world wide,she has a star in the hollywood walk of fame and she’s a grammy award winning world wide iconic star u hurt me she’ll be back cause her fans r hear to stay we ain’t going no where u pscycos
Let’s hope the paps don’t follow her to Atlanta..let her breathe!
Her parents and ex-manager have all tried to intervene and she blocks them out of her life for it. And she won’t stay put in one rehab for more than a few days, where professionals could help her.
Now her ex-bodyguard is talking, and she’s still running aways from her reality — this time literally — rather than conforting her issues. It seems it’s going to take something very drastic for this girl to understand that no one is out to ‘get her’, rather in fact, she needs help and the people in her life trying to tell her so are doing it out of concern and love.
And the people in her life that are NOT telling her she needs help are nothing but ENABLERS. Her family and friends should stage a private intervention while she’s in Atlanta.
If she doesn’t get the help she neeeds, seems this could potentially be headed in the same direction as other sex-symbol starlets in the past, for example: Marilyn Monroe, Anna Nicole Smith. Tragic.

Maybe it’s because what he said is true. I personally believe she DOES have a mental problem.
LA Superior Court Judge — Gordon, was right in his random two times
a week drug testing for Britney and ordering a ‘parent coach’, but I
hope it is enough for those two precious toddler boys. I don’t know why anyone (family, entourage and friends) did not COME FORTH SOONER FOR THE SAKE OF THE BOYS.
