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.

10/04 Britney Breaking News

Has anyone stopped to think that her big problems really started after she gave birth to her first child? And got worse after she gave birth to her second? Maybe she is seffering from post partum depression!  Of course she needs help. But what she needs the most is support!

Britney

I'm not exactly sure how California law is written, but I do know that when I was trying to

obtain custody of my nephew because his mother was a habitual and continual user

of alcohol and controlled substances, the state of Texas claimed that "lifestyle choices"

were not grounds for removing a child from his mother.  I have seen many, many mothers who

use and drink and nobody is trying to remove their children either. Is all of this happening just

because it is Britney?

Hopeful for Britney from your home in Louisiana !!!

We would like Britney to know that she has support from her home state of Louisiana.  We have strong morals here and think she could gain control of her life if she came home.  We have all made mistakes in our lives, but ours have not been aired across the media like Britney's mistakes have been.  Imagine what it must be like to constantly be scrutinized about everything you do.  Britney is still very young, and yes, we all thought we were grown when we turned 18, but looking back now would you say you were?  Her actions indicate to me that she wants help, she just doesn't know what to do and who to turn to.  Having lost both my parents, I hope Britney can see how very important family is.  Family is the one constant friend that will be there for her through thick and thin, rich or poor, and through all faults one may have. Britney needs to know that not everyone thinks badly of her.  Yes, she has made some bad decisions, but who hasn't.  And by the way, Britney is far from being fat!  She has had 2 kids, and personally, I wish I had her body.  Also, Britney should have whipped Sarah Silverman's butt for her comments on the VMA's.  That was totally uncalled for.  If that would have been my child she was referring to, she wouldn't have made it off stage.   Britney, we are praying for you and for your kids.  Don't give up and don't  down yourself...it's just time to get up and dust yourself off and show them all what your made of!  Show the world what a southern girl, with your talent, can do !  Get away from the city life for awhile...and come home to your roots, your fans and family will be here waiting for you .

I agree

Quote From: rogue01

I feel really bad for Brittany. Unfortunately we all make mistakes and hers are seen by the whole world. I find it interesting that some feel that Kfed is a better parent forgetting that he walked out on his other kids. Of course, he left Brittany with the children at home and went parting for weeks at the time as well. He want these children so that he can get child support from Brittany; lord knows he doesn't have any talent. He says that he will keep them away from the media but that is only because no one cares enough about him to stalk him. Brittany did not seem to have any of the current extreme drinking and drug problems until she was with him. Perhaps he should have the kids taken away due to his past of leading others astray. Should some one like that really have the kids? This is comparable to Bobby Brown leading Whitney Houston astray and then pointing out her faults.

 

Yes, Brittany is her own worse enemy but please do not attempt to nominate Kfed for father of the year for helping Brittany over the edge.

I agree to that about k-fed.  He just wnts the kids for the money.

Lindsay???

  Caught the" emotional" end (will HAVE to see the show now later on)  but Dr. Phil,  LINDSAY?

  It was all sounding so REAL about Britney's family being solid,  and then you say LINDSAY?

  What is the scariest part of this for very fragile (understandably so) Britney is the media, especially

  talk shows  - like yours, duh,  making this any of these ASSumptions and not even getting the

  celeb's name correct ?   oh yes,  Paris, Britney,Lindsay - they are separate people, aren't they ?.

Britney

i watched your show today. yes i feel bad for Bfritney and i do worry about her kids. i am a britney fan. but i believe Kevin made her this way. think about she had a very humaliating public break up with him. it was very obvious that he was just using her for her money and her stardom. i believe she is suffering from depression. eve rmove she makes she is on tv every little thing she does is publized. yes she has made mistakes as a mother but who doesnt i am not saying she is perfect. cause no one is perfect. i beleive kevin doesnt care for those kids that the only reason he is showing any interest in them is to get more money from britney. its kinda weird how nov 1st his $20,000 a month alimony from britney ends and now miraculously he has custody of the kids and will be reciving child suport from them. i think he only cleaned his act up to get the kids to get her money again cause without her he is a big nothing. i never liked him in the first place and felt he was a money grubbing asshole. i beleive she needs to get counseling rehab and she needs to get back in contact with her mom. she needs to just focus on her even if it means geting out of the public eye for a year. she needs to focus on herself and her kids and screw everybody else.

Give me a chance...

I am so sickened at the parenting of Britney. I actually feel sorry for her. Im sure many people have advised her that she shouldn't be acting the way she has. But, I dont know if anyone really sat down face to face and just broke it down barney style. I wish that I could go to her house in Malibu (that's where it is right?) and talk to her alone. THEN, bring the children into the meeting and tell her what a blessing it is to have them. I believe kids depend more on their mothers because they  feel the safest with them. Even since she has been acting the way she has, they probably look at her without judgement.  My children are so happy. We dont have alot of money, we dont have alot of problems. We have what every struggling family has. Even though we dont have financial freedom, we make up for it in other ways. Something as simple as watching Sesame Street together and talking about it... Or, playing a board game or painting a picture. That is all her sons need right now, their mommy. She needs to realize that these beautiful boys are a part of her. Without her, they wouldnt exist. She needs to be proud of that. Im sure that it is expensive to raise two children in Hollywood, but, I definitely could do a good job even without that money. I feel sadened by this whole situation. Im just a normal woman, living a normal life. I would love to help her out the best way I can.

bodyguard

I do not believe the bodyguard. If he was that concerned about those two little boys, he would have told that britney was doing drugs then. He waits until Britney terminates him and he knows that she could lose her boys and then goes to the media. He also got paid very well his story. I think he tells different stories each time. I can't belive Gloria Allred is his lawyer. I had more respect for her than that. I think the bodyguard is a joke and I would not trust him.

 

On the other hand, I am not a Britney Spears fan and i never have been. There are things I think she does for attention. I think the bottom line is that she needs help bad. I think about Anna Nicole Smith when I think of Britney these days. I do believe she is on drugs, I just don't believe the bodyguard saw it. I hope and pray Britney gets help before it is too late. I am not a fan of her music but i do not want anything bad to happen to her or anyone else. The boys need and deserve their mother. I have trouble believing that Kevin is that much better for the boys than Britney. I think he just doesn't get all the publicity that Britney gets. I think he enjoys living off of Britney's money. I really believe Britney's mother should have these boys until Britney could get some help, which I pray she will get soon.

Only Brittany knows

I am not a fan nor do I dislike Brittany. I just don't get that interested in one celebrity but I do have an opinion based on the information I have provided it is true.

 

Maybe Brittany realizes that she cannot provide a stable environment right now. Perhaps she didn't show up because she wants Kevin to have the kids in a way but as a mother it is hard to just admit that.

 

 I am sure she loves them but maybe she needs to focus on herself right now and knows that she cannot get healthy and try and raise these two children properly. It is tough being a parent and none of us know what she personally is feeling inside. The media cannot get inside her head and she may have unresolved issues that no one is aware of.

 

 Stress of being a mother? I am a mother. I have a lot of mommy friends.We all want to run at times. Yes the difference is, most of us don't act out that way. Before you bash the crap out of her try and remember she is human and is making a lot of mistakes as we as humans sometimes do. Bash her behind close doors if you must bash. Opinions are one thing, straight up hatred, another.

 

Of course I do not agree with her choices. I know she was seen smiling and tanning and people think she just doesn't give a damn but we don't know that she doesn't. Only Brittany knows. But I find it hard to believe that she doesn't give a damn at all. She is hurting inside.

 

I am praying this appearance of content isn't because she has decided on suicide as an alternative out. They say people that commit suicide tend to have a sense of relief and I do pray this is not the case. I hope that Brittany's reason for her seemingly lack of regard for the serious situation is due to her knowing she is going to get better, maybe having a plan in her head- it'll just take time.

 

Maybe it is kind of a relief from the stress of motherhood. I don't know but it is sad and thereis no reason to hate her. Why IS this world so full of hate anyway?  I mean, yes she is WRONG in her actions but who are we to call her nasty names and slander her. We as compassionate human beings should be yelling for her to get help and wishing her well.

 

NOTsupporting her wrongdoings but not calling her nasty names either. That certainly cannot make her feel any better. It just makes the haters feel better.

 

On the same token, if she had been in a rehabilitation center several times and continuously fell off the wagon, then, yeah I'd probably be right there bashing too. But this is like still when she needs support and hope.

 

I am not a saint I have my share of opinions of people and their lifestyles too. Believe me and I am goood at it. I just think that someone going through something so obviously self destructive and painful needs help and not hate. At least for now.
