A Brit too much to bear

Posted by Amanda Vlietstra

Another day, another story about Britney – so apologies to those of you who’re sick of reading about the “troubled star.” The latest in the saga is that yesterday Britney was meant to attend a court hearing about the custody of her two sons Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1. She’d been warned by her lawyers that if she didn’t show up, she risked being permanently banned from seeing her boys.

So did she show up? Of course she… didn’t. Her car turned up at the courtroom – a mere three hours late – but when she saw the press buzzing around outside, she shouted: “I’m scared. Stop it. Stop it. Just stop it!” Then she leapt straight back into her car, and went shopping and for Mexican food with lover Adnan Ghalib instead.

She also popped into a church, where she lit candles. A note left in the prayer box read: “Dear God, please give Britney her kids back.” Which would be poignant if it wasn’t so flippin’ stupid – if Britney can’t even be bothered to fight for her kids herself, why should she expect any divine entity to intervene on her behalf?

Later on in the evening, she and Adnan were spotted visiting four pharmacies, apparently in search of “something to make her feel better.” Perhaps she’d have felt better if she’d actually turned up in court and made an effort to show the world she’s a fit mother, instead of relying on narcotics to numb the pain of being a useless one.

Clearly, the woman has entirely lost her grasp on reality – if she ever had it – but it’s becoming increasingly difficult to feel any sympathy for her. She either doesn’t have a clue that she’s risking losing her boys for ever with her breathtakingly stupid and selfish behaviour, or she doesn’t care. Either way, it’s becoming overwhelming clear that her kids are in the best place for them right now – well away from their self-obsessed, spoilt, pill-popping mother.

Why don't people just leave her alone, would you want the paparazzi to be in your face when you are about to do something like that and all they care about is talking a flamin' picture of you? i mean she lost her children because of those stupid people!!!

[Munchkin.]

I love Britney. Leave her alone and stop assuming she needs to go to rehab. She needs support from her fans because she is going through a hard time with her sons.

[Pammie]

The girl clearly needs help!!!

[jtimberlake]

Brit needs a good dose of re hab and that dude thats hanging on to her is only after what every other guy is after HER CASH!She will always attract press she just needs to learn how to deal with them,take some lessons from ozzy osbournes eldest daughter if you want to learn how to keep out of the public eye.With any luck people will just not buy the papers that print the sad life of a girl hitting rock bottom.Good luck Brit surely you'll grow out of this and get back to your music and show the people that have been so quick to kick you when your down!

[claudia]

Why feel sorry for her ? If she's really in a bad way then whats she doing dolled up and living it large ????? I've seen people in a bad way - they neglect their appearance and don't go out. She's just at it - daft tart.

[Been there]

She has clearly had a complete mental/nervous breakdown, something which is incredibly difficult to recover from without press people exploiting you and the world tutting! Her family need to step in and take responsibilty for her mental health before its too late. Its sad that as a world we can treat a human being this ill in this way...

[jes]

i think that the children should be put somewhere with a quiet family - probably noncelebrities - and be alowed to be normal.

ive been threw what britney is going threw...but i was never late for any of my court dates and went to all sorts of different therapies.they said "jump" and i said "how high".i done all that i had to do,i was losing my children to adoption! but I NEVER and i mean I NEVER didnt turn up to visits or court dates.All of you who think shame she couldnt handle it...its not about here or kfed its about those children and if a parent cant put their needs before their own then they are not fit to parent a child.britney's feelings or kfed's feelings is not relevent!they should be thinking about what all of this is doing to 2 innocent boys.

[catherine]

Could any of us cope with the tremendous pressure that this girl has had to endure??? She cant do any thing without a barrage of media following her everywhere. Its no wonder she has gone off the rails, any of us would given the circumstances. Its ok for KFed to go out etc but if she does shes a bad mum!! Its not good for these boys to be away from their mum even if its strictly supervised contact, is any one thinking about them?

[Emma]

i couldn't agree more with posting by lol
she need to live in the real world for a while

[Top Believer]

She needs to just go away from the limelight. For about 6 months she needs to just get away from it all. Away from press and everything. Have psychiatrists with her and other of similar qualifications to help her. She hates rehab, yes that's true, but some sort of facility. Perhaps with family, they need to get intouch, not by speaking 'Oh I feel sorry for her' through the press. Physically speaking. The whole family should just move away together. Get things sorted. No press, parties, paris. A big detox. Then she should be able to come back and be proved fit to be a mother and have shared custody of the children. But when you think about it, she used to be the one looking after the kids, while kevin went out to parties, during their marriage. But now it's the other way around. But you never see Kfed with his other 2 children.

[lol]

Britneys got everything, yes she's worked for it but us normal mums have to work hard too and we don't have nannies and the money that she has. let her spend a week or a month in the real world where she has to look after her children herself. Yes she gets a hard time from the press but she chose to seek out stardom and that's the price you pay re being photagraphed at every opportunity. She's the only person who can help her. No-one makes you drink or take drugs.

Britney really needs to sort herself out but i think everybody needs to leave her alone i really do feel sorry for her. i hope she gets her old life back and her kids. get beeter soon britney

[B2]

I used to stick up for britney but i dont care what people say now to me it seems shes more bothered about spending time with her latest boyfriend that her sons. I bet she wouldnt be 3 hours late turning up at adnans place! If she really wanted to sort things out she would have ditched the new boyfriend, gone to rehab and made sure she stuck to appointments but what does she do instead....go shopping for food with the boyfriend of the moment. I never thought id hear myself say this but i think kevins doing well and theyre better off there.

[Alexandra Murray]

Well said...

[gaye murray]

Of course Britney needs to sort herself out, but easier said than done when you have nobody sincere around you. She needs someone she can trust. Someone who hasn't got an agenda of their own. Anybody can pull through with proper genuine support. All the people who are making unfeeling, harsh comments need to remember that we don't know the full facts & are judging her on snippets we hear in the media. Life has an uncanny way of teaching judgemental people a lesson. If any of you ever happen to suffer anything like she is suffering, you may take a different view, aye? Be interesting to hear your views then.

[Alexandra Murray]

I think you all need to shut up and leave her alone...she was a young mum, that makes things hard enough. Her stupid mother turned against her in the custody battle, her husband ran off and left her at home with the kids to watch lapdancers!! He werent interested then! Now he can get limelight and $$$$ for having the boys... he's No1 DAD. That all gets forgotten doesnt it. Britney needs an adult, humane person to look after her and genuinely care for her. Help her get her kids back. If you thought you'd lost all hope you might act like she does. And i believe she is scared. She's still a baby herself. And you say she's a role model to teenage girls... well maybe their parents should explain not to follow everything u watch on TV?!?! leave the girl alone... or one day we'll be reading about her suicide. People can only take so much

[AndyCM]

U wouldn't treat your worst enemy the way the press treat Britney. WHY DONT U GO AND GET A LIFE

[Hayley]

I FEEL SORRY FOR BRITNEY, YEAH SHE GONE OFF THE RAILS, BUT SHE SHOULDNT BE LABELED A BAD MOTHER! SHE SHOULD BE LEFT ALONE SO SHE CAN GET BETTER BUT PATHETIC PEOPLE FEED OF HER UNHAPPINESS AND IT MAKES HER WORSE. SHE ISNT SELFISH SHE IS MESSED UP! SHE DOESNT KNOW WHO SHE IS OR WHAT TO DO WITH ANYTHING. SHE JUST NEEDS TO BE WITH HER MUM & FAMILY AND RECOVER WITH REHAB AND DOCTORS HELP! ALL THE SAD PEOPLE WHO GET A BUZZ OF BAD MOUTHING HER AND STICKING CAMERAS IN HER FACE SHOULD JUST P*SS OFF AND LEAVE HER SO SORT HERSELF OUT

[JO]

WHY DOESNT SOMEBODY SHOW HER THESE EMAILS .....BRITNEY YOU ARE A WASTE OF SPACE....LEAVE YOUR KIDS WITH THEIR DAD AT LEAST THEY WILL BE SAFE....

[JOANNA STRAIN]

THIS SO CALLED LADY IS SUPPOSED TO BE AN ICON TO TEENAGE CHILDREN, I THINK, AS A MOTHER OF THREE, SHE NEEDS SECTIONING

[B]

i think she is a selfish, stupid, spoilt person who is thinking the whole world owes her a favour and should let her do what she wants regardless of the consequences. She needs to grow up and stop blaming everyone but herself for her behaviour. Get yourself into rehab and if you cant be arsed then leave your kids alone for their own sake cos right now your doing yourself and them more harm than good. I really feel sorry for those mixed up, hurt kids....unbelievably their dad has turned out to be the best thing in their life, you dont see him falling out of nightclubs and being arrested...he's where he shouldbe - with his kids!
Britney....grow up you selfish moo!

[Michelle]

Brit really needs to sort her self out. She has drove away al her friends, and family. And Kevin has full coustordy of their kids. Lets just hope she takes this advice.
