Since Britney Spears and Kevin Federline split, the pop star's troubles have played out in the tabloids -- photographs at Hollywood hotspots with Paris Hilton, partying without panties, impulsively shaving her head, raging at a car with an umbrella, and spending a month in rehab.  Last month, the judge ordered the pop star to undergo random drug and alcohol testing twice a week as part of her ongoing custody battle with Federline.  Then what was supposed to be a comeback MTV Video Music Awards performance made Britney the butt of endless jokes, and the following week, her management firm dropped her and her divorce attorney resigned.  And on Monday, Britney hit rock bottom when she was ordered to temporarily relinquish physical custody of her children to Federline by a judge who had cited a troubling lifestyle fueled by drugs and alcohol.  Could Britney be at risk for suicide?  Plus, Dr. Phil will share insight into the Britney story from the inside. And, Spears’ former bodyguard who says he spoke out to protect her children, will tell Dr. Phil what led him to go public. If it's happening now, Dr. Phil is going to talk about it now! Share your thoughts, join the discussion.

Find out what happened on the show.

Britney

Quote From: redgirl342000

I think that the more people try to help the more they hurt her.  The people whom she thought she could trust most are selling her life for six figures.  The bodyguard is soooo concerned. Yeah right. Six figures worth of concern.  Kevin is sooo concerned. Yeah right. Six figures worth.  I think that Brit loves her kids and she is being judged harshly by everyone; including some of the message board writers.  I agree that she needs help.  Imagine your life for a minute in her shows. What we take for granted, she cannot enjoy. Just going to the grocery store, etc.  I'm sure that life is fun for a while and maybe one hour a day, but that crap has to get old; especially when you want to be a good mom. We all forget that we are all human. Instead of laughing at her and namecalling, I think that everyone should back off and let her have some peace.  The magazine reps claim to want brit to make a successful comeback but are not willing to leave her alone. I think that that is sooo sad.  Brit just needs to figure out who is truly in her corner; sometimes it's not always your family and sometimes it is. She has hit rock bottom so whomever is standing with her now i'm sure is there for the long haul and these are the people that she needs to support her.  Good Luck brit.  
sorry but if she wasn't acting like she is the so called press would leave her alone.  They don't make her do the crap she's doing.  She does it to keep the press coming around.  The more outrageous she is the more her name is mentioned.  There are a lot of famous people that lead semi normal lives.  I bet some of them even go to the grocery store  every once in awhile and they aren't mobbed by reporters.  If you act decent they don't bother you.  Nothing to write about.  Who cares what kind of milk you buy.  She is a publicity hound.

Can't They See?

It is so obvious to me that Brittney is dealing with much more than poor parenting behavior.  She is obviously dealing with serious mental health issues for which she is probably self-medicating with substances and acting out.  She is in desperate need of more than just a court order or a surface show-up at rehab.  This is a beautiful, loving, sweet girl who is in a very dangerous mental place.  I think the divorce (and what led up to it) are what precipitated this.  I went through the same thing 14 years ago, with 2 young children, but the difference was that I sought mental health counseling and my therapist gave me an ultimatum of go to rehab or be reported to child protective services for negligence and substance abuse.  I angrily chose rehab and fought it 3/4 of the way but finally realized the severity of it all the last 10 days and changed my life around.  True, I have not had all the stress of fame and all that entails to compound things (although I have had to struggle financially and still deal with depression on a daily basis).  But I only feel compassion for Brittney and hope with all my heart that she gets the serious help she needs.  I was suicidal, cutting myself, etc, and worry about this for her now.  I also isolated from those who could help the most.  I don't think this is such an unusual pattern after a trauma of devastating loss of life dreams.  In all my struggles, I have put my children first since rehab.  They have been very difficult teens but are now responsible young adults.  I pray that Brittney has this same gift.  With love, Aurilla.

POOR BABY

 I am so sorry that there is NOT more compassion for Brit..
She obviously is a very disturbed young lady..
Drugs, alcohol...depression...She is a loose cannon...and it is unfortunate that she is being seen more as an attention monger..Nothing could be further from the truth...Non of this is rocket science and it is quite disturbing to see and hear that there aren't better things for the media  to report,
Gloria, COME ON GIRL..I have NO DOUBT that Social Services is ALL over this case..You need to find something else to keep you busy... ALSO if they have any questions to ask Mr Body Guard , he can answer them unassisted...Smell a book anyone.... PERHAPS  this media frenzy will drive Britney more quickly to her personal bottom.
In the meantime I'm thinking ., Prayer will be the answer for the whole family...This all Gossip for Gossip sake...NOT because anyone cares for this young lady and her well being...

I don't understand her. She has two wonderful kids, doesn't she wants to be with them and protect them. I'm young too and I have one boy and there is nothng I wouldn't do to protect him. She is hurting them, they need to with her. But she needs to do everything she can to get better and be a great mom for those two beatiful boys. Help herand her babys Dr.Phil!

Quote From: davia77

 Stop the cat fighting..I have 4 children 2 disabled and am there as well..I have also been a Foster parent for DRUG babies for years..In dealing with the parents..It is clear that they have a drive that is stronger than parenting..They are Broken. Deserve compassion..AND defiantly need to follow a service plan.. that is layed out by the courts...
Why is everyone SO surprised Brit didn't show up at court..HELLO she is sick..Drug addicts DON'T SHOW UP TO COURT..Don't do visits and don't do drug testing..
There is not going to be a quick fix for this ...It is obvious this girl doesn't know if she is coming or going.. in the meantime  GLORIA GO AWAY...MEDIA give it a rest..

Those poor kids

This is so sad. I feel so bad for Brittany, not because she got her kids taken away, but because she is obviously in need of some help and she needs to take what comes to her even though it may be hard! Those kids are never going to be able to walk around in this society and not be "the brittany spears boys". Those poor kids are going to grow up on a world where there whole life since they were babies is known and recorded. I hope and pray that they can grow up with love, trust, and security. I hope so much that they will not fall into the same pattern. I am glad Brittany's kids were taken away from her, I think it is about time, but are they any safer with her ex? I also hope this does not turn into a child custody debate!

100% Correct

Quote From: oakdalekid

Britney is not mentaly ill she is, an alcoholic & a drug addict. It doesn't matter what Dr Phil or

her mother or the courts say. If Britney doesn't admit she has problem and want to do anything

about it she won't change. I am an alcoholic and have been in AA for 34 years I know what it takes

to beat this afflection. Until Britney herself ask for help and means it. She will never change.  Also

there is the possablility that she may never change and the booze & drugs will kill her. That is the

reality of life people. Some people just never sober up no matter what. She may be one of those

people. So I suggest to Dr Phil that he go read the AA big book again before he starts to open his mouth on Tv about something. he knows very little about. You all can threaten her put her in jail or a

hospital or what ever but the bottom line is. Unless Britney wants to quit Britney isn't going to quit

no matter what you do to her. You can take her kids away you can lack her up and when she gets

out she will start right up where she left off. I will bet my life on it And I will be right. The only way for

her to get clean & sober is the AA way and she has to want that and she has to make that choice herself.

 One addition..alcohol and drugs are self medication...FOR whatever reason??
 Correct me if I'm wrong?
GOOD FOR YOU!! KEEP COMING BACK...AA/NA saved my brothers life..after being addicted since he was in 5th grade he is now 2 yrs sober and 59YEARS OLD...sometimes it takes a while...

Is MORE attention helping?

I don't see how these shows and more publicity are doing Britney or her kids any good. The media attention needs to STOP. It's a lot of presure. Let her get help in private and stop having shows like this one. I am sick of hearing about her and Lindsey and Paris , etc. Move on!!
