OlderBritney’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.”

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.

I wish Britney would defend herself against creeps like him..why won’t she give any statements?
Stand up for yourself Britney!

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.
OMG!! will everyone back off the girl and give her a break!! life is hard enough not being through a lens….. I mean dang ya she made mistakes and bla bla but who is without sin can cast stones…… and thats NOBODY!! find another person and make them ur project, get a life

Although I don’t agree with the bodyguard selling his story, I do believe it is true–so therefore it is a little hard to have Britney defend herself.
She stripped down for the OK photo shoot as they all stood their in shock (it is in their story).
We have seen public pictures of her carelessness with her children along with factual reporting that DCFS has been called.
Her family, manager etc., forced her into rehab because they were afraid for her and she now isn’t speaking to any of them proclaiming she was drug and alcohol free. Classic denial symptoms.
Her behavior has been increasingly erratic. Many of the bodyguard’s stories have been supported by others. The stripping, the sex with women, the horrible parenting skills, drinking, drug use etc.
She needs help. Offer her your support, but don’t excuse her behavior–because she is going to end up killing herself or worse–those babies.
Britney had everything. She had a family that loved her. A manager/company that was known as a pretty good one in Hollywood. She had a career to die for. She had friends (not sure any have stuck around). She has two beautiful children. Now about all she has left is money.
Pretty sad. She needs help desperately. Hope she gets it before she ends up dead.
#15, how can you say you think Britney is bipolar when you’ve never met her in your life? You have NO idea what she’s thinking, NO idea what she really does most of the time, or how she really acts. Your only proof is magazines which most of them are probably lying just to sell. Dont people get that? TABLOIDS MAKE UP RUMORS TO SELL. If you still believe that ****, then you’re obviously 12 years old or younger, or maybe just older but really immature. If you do know her and know exactly what she’s going through and actually talk to her daily, then go ahead, but until then, just be quiet.
This bodyguard is starting to sound like that private detective from the Anna Nicole saga. The story seems to grow with each new interview.
The only thing is if he were lying she could sue him and she never seems to sue anyone or deny anything said about her.
Sad that no one cares about this girl. Strange that she would go outside to talk on the phone esp when she knows that paps are hanging from trees to get photos of her.
the only thing that is going to help that girl is if everyone, and i mean everyone bails out. it won’t happen though, because there are always some dumbasses who think hanging out with someone famous is cool. If she has NO help whatsoever, then she cannot run away from her actions. Her money is a real problem right now, because she can buy people to keep her out of the worst trouble.
her only hope right now is to get in trouble with the law so severely that she can’t buy her way out.
if cousin alli really loved her, she would pack her bags and go home.
So what are we going to do with Fartney ?! it’s one thing if she wants to self destruct but the kids need protection A.S.A.P !!
, Of some form since that those problems with the former-husband of it had started, already it gave pra well to perceive that it had problems: , Britney Spears is insane person! huum! , crazy crazy! kkkkkkkkkkk :D
more they do not think that I am bold! it who is crazy! :O :D :P :(
¬¬, OMG, i unlove you -.-, how to do this whith me? i am, beautiful girl, the paparazii, my wondder ¬¬, eat you! >
I AM CRAZY? ¬¬ ³ THEY TAKES OFF PHOTOS OF ME, HIDDEN AI ENVENTAM THIS PRA TO OBTAIN FAME FOR THE SITE! PLUS THEM THEY DO NOT GO TO OBTAIN BECAUSE I GO TO PROCESS ALL, DONKEYS!
I agree the bodyguard is not credible, but that doesn’t mean that what he says is false, either. With our own eyes we have seen behavior that is not normal. The poor girl does not need bloggers hating on her, or being trashier than she is by kicking her when she’s down. The girl is obviously in serious mental trouble, and any fan who really cares about her and not clinging to some dopey fantasy of her as perfect can see that and wants what’s best for her.
Atlanta is a hot music center. Maybe she’s working on an album, but what I really hope is that someone gets her to a doctor and gets her on something to soothe her fears and paranoia, and get her to listen to those who really want what’s best for her — her family. And not Alli, or whoever keeps defending her and not practicing tough love.
Even K-Fed is not out to get her. He has not said anything since he first mentioned her problems while still living with her. He has not tried to get the kids from her, except to get MORE time with them, and still have her in the picture as mom. I think he still cares about her but is worried about the kids, as any normal person would be, with them left for her to take care of. She needs a psychiatrist, not a psychologist, but a psychiatrist to treat her problems, which she is self-medicating for.
Everything is about fame and money for everyone. From her parents to entrusted bodyguards. I am not a Britney fan but I truly believe that a breakdown is needed to get up again. She’ll be stronger as long as nothing horrible happens to her again.
This former bodyguard’s accusations are interesting and a little sketchy to me. He seems to be hungry for publicity as a way of getting back at Britney for dumping him as her bodyguard. Britney needs love and understanding not to be dumped all over by media and press. Where’s her support??? She deserves to lead a better life for herself and her boys that she loves very much. And Kevin Federline was and is no saint. No one is in this situation.

I have some experience on the subject, being bipolar myself. My OPINION is based on the public incidents (the head-shaving certainly wasn’t a rumor, nor was the ‘wedding’). If she’s done some bizarre things in public, you do have to wonder what hasn’t been public. These are not the actions of someone who is mentally stable, but if she does have a true illness, it’s nothing to be ashamed of, and it’s treatable. (And stressful, life-changing events can trigger the manifestations of the illness, and having two children in quick succession is stressful on one’s body.) I agree the ex-bodyguard is in it for the money and will say anything, especially if he was fired, so I don’t think he’s completely credible. If he had any decency at all, he’d keep his mouth shut and get an honest job. I still hope she gets help, whatever it is she needs - she deserves better.
Stop trating her badly!! U don’t even know what she lived lately i think that U have to support her not to insult her and making her feel badly, STOP IT
so if he was warned about her nudity ahead of time, what the hell is he bitching about? he had the choice not to be her bodyguard if her nudity was such an issue. this guy is a gold digging piece of poop.
she needs to get outta hollywood for a long time if she’s not to end up like ANS
