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

yes, birtney does drugs, yes, britney does drink alcohol, and yes, she does party! no she doesnt have   her priorities straight as a woman even less as a mother!!!! we all make mistakes but just because shes famous her private life has become public! her every move is being photographed and videotaped! anyone can almost trip and lose grip of their baby , people have even fallen and dropped their babies! but just because its britney spears, it makes history, how man girls dont go to clubs without underwear on? nobody knows it because nobody caught it on video! these are things normal people do, who hasent hit a parked car? who hasent driven without a license? more normal things again! i believe kevi federline i to blame for britneys downfall! he used her for her money, for all we kno hes the one that introduced her to drugs and alcohol. He is a BUMB!!!!! he left her to go to miami or an "album release party" in miami, when she had a newborn baby! he left shar jackson wit one baby and pregnant of another one, he doesnt care about anybody but himself! he was never seen with those kids till recently!!!, gee lets see, he always wanted to be in the limelight, he always wanted money, he just didnt want to work for it. when he saw that shar jackson wasent bringing in enough money and britney rolled around with all her money he went with the one that had more money. he cant bare the thought that now in november britney wont be gving him $20,000.00 a month so his next move is to get custody of the kids to live off of her child support money he is using thos kids as money pons!!! that bodyguard doesnt care about those kids either he is only coming out with these stories because he is getting paid for taking! if kevin really cared about those kids, because if he did he'd try to make britney better instead of bringing her down! hes playing the good daddy role to get child support money! i think britney should be left alone, ristraining order against thepparazi, go into rehab,clean up, no more performances till shes all better, go to couseling, be able to spend time with her kids, and out of nowhere make her big comeback!!!

Dr. Phil comments

Quote From: cheryllynn1234

"It has been my experience that you have to REALLY screw up in order for the family courts to go in and remove a child from the Biological mother."  Dr. Phil

 

Dr. Phil:

 

I am a GREAT mother that lost custody of my son.  As a matter of fact, I am a group owner for mom's that lost custody.  There are tons of us!  And we didn't do any of the things Britney did!  In a nutshell, I lost custody because the father and I did not get along.  And apparently the judge liked him better.  But my son is NOT happy about the situation.  He had to change schools and he misses his older siblings. 

 

I wish you were right about having to do something REALLY screwed up in order to lose custody.  But unfortunately, you must be stuck in the past because you have NO CLUE what you are talking about!!

 

I'm so upset that you said that because all of us MOMs that have lost custody to dad's have already been judged and labeled by other mom's.  We are perceived to be unfit mothers, drug users, losers.  Something must be really screwed up about us, right?

 

I use love your show.  I have watched every episode.  I watched you on Oprah on Tuesdays.  But I think I'm done being a Dr. Phil fan.  And I think all mom's that have lost custody to fathers should stand up to you! 

 

Now I have heard you say a couple of screwed up things about the justice system that are totally wrong.  Maybe you should talk to people that have been screwed over by the courts! 

I agree that Dr. Phil should watch what he says before making a comment that he knows nothing about.  And believe that you and other ladies from Mom's who lost custody should ask for time on Dr. Phil's show to make your cases known to the public.

britney is human too ...

I have spent the better part of today watching various clips and  "news" stories about britney.  The thing that keeps coming to my mind is what I would do if i was in the situation she is in.............  

 

Not justt this custody thing but the "stardom" role period.

 

Britney is going through one of the most difficult times in her life and wether or notit is her fault and a product of her own making, this girl ia a human being.  I just watched a clip of her trying to go into target and MY GOD the paparazzi was so thick around her that she couldn't even breathe.  This woman has been in television and entertainment moat of her life and it is obvious that life is getting to her.  She is to the point of having 2 choices become a prisoner in her own home, or having a mini mob follow her around. What kind of choice is that???

 

I get it i eally do this photo hounds need to make money and they are getting rich because we as a society are fascinated with the tragedy of others.  Where does it stop.  Is sh going to have to lose it so completely that we lose her as a person?  What has happened to just having basic respect for these people that "entertain" us.

 

If i had that many people in my face all the time i would probably go a bit insane as well.

 

She has spent her life trying to be whatever the "people" wanted her to be. And by people i mean the photographer taking her pictured, the producers of the shows she has been on, the record producers.

 

Has she ever been able to find out who the heck she is???  I do not see how.

 

Just leave the poor girl alone and give her some breathing space.  The only way she is going to get any better is if she is left alone and we all stop critisizing her every breath and move.

 

If someone does not step in and take control we are going to lose her completely.

Can anyone stop throwing "spears" at Britney?

I havent seen one person in that girls corner, has anyone thought that having 2 babies back to back may have something to do with the extreme mood swings and unpredictable behaviors.  POSTPARTUM Depression has caused behavior that if people had opened their eyes it would have saved a lot of grief and heartache.

 

She has had a rather Michael Jackson type up bringing,  She is immature, has always been given more than most (more chances, special treatment for restaurants....etc.)  Then you have the other side of the axe, once you have done most everything exciting what more is there to stimulate or challenge you.  I know your dying to hear my third and final point, she is hounded and dogged, no matter what!  Seems she has no one or any place to go to shake the camera sharks.  Even with the children in her vehicle in car seats, there were something like 50 phothogs snapping and yelling.  That is so wrong, the kids were crying and she was becoming flustered and angry.  I have seen footage of all the tactics, ask nice, be rude, ignore it just doesnt seem to make a bit of difference to them.  I dont think the argument "you are a star, and belong to the public, or it comes with the job" is even close to this abuse.  Remember:  I am not saying she is a PTA mom, but no one gives her 2 seconds to relax and learn how to be a mother, not hunted.  trust me her fans would understand a temp. reprieve, it's the hater's that would miss her.

10/04 Britney Breaking News

The fact is, her situation is sad, it's obvious she can't go anywhere without being swarmed by the paps and it seems like she basically has no one.

 

But I can't help but to think that this girl has so so so many more opportunities avaliable than the average person who goes through the same things everyday, sometimes worse and she still screws it up. I know babies don't come with manuels, I know she's young and human and entitled to mistakes, I'm younger than her and I'm human too, we are all entitled to screw up but that's no excuse to keep screwing up over and over. And you have to use basic common sense, from my POV, she has not been doing that at all.

 

I'm not a Britney fan, but I do want her to get better because first of all, I'm tired of seeing her plastered all over my TV and secondly, who wants to see a life fall apart right before their eyes? I know I don't, I want her to get better, get her kids and just go on with her life.

Poor Britney

Everyone is falling into Britney's web. She wants the attention. I can't believe no one can figure that out. She parades around intentionally and makes herself and her kids available to the paparazzi.

 

That said she does need help. On many occasions Dr. Phil will tell his guests that if they are drinking or doing drugs they cannot be taken at face value. It is the chemical talking. So why all the confusion in trying to figure out what and why Britney does what she does. He can't figure out why she would not make her kids her number one priority?? She is on drugs. Don't deny it and don't defend it. AND who in the hell is supplying her with drugs knowing what a train wreck she is.

 

Anyone who thinks she is fit to be a mother to even a dog at this point is dillusional! She can't even control her own life let alone be in charge of two other human beings that can't fend for themselves. I am sick of the people trying to defend this type of behavior - whatever the cause - whatever the reason.

 

As far as Lynne goes - she was part of the problem from the beginning. Who would let their very young daughter solicit themselves the way that Britney did. She has been over the top sexed up for years with no one to reel her in. She probably just wants someone to reach out and love her for who she is more than anything - not the symbol she has turned herself into.

Growing up..

I feel bad for her, no doubt. Everytime she makes a mistake or acts stupid there is some one there to take her picture. I sure am glad no one followed me around when I was young and raising my children. Not that I did anything wrong, but they sure can make is look bad if they want to.

But lets not be stupid here either, it is pretty plain that she has a problem that she won't fess up to.

Admitting you have a problem is 1/2 the battle, right?

She needs to be in touch with her children and the children need her also. But I would be a litttle worried about letting her keep them.

Just my opinion...

Here is another story you might want to read:

 

I would like to share a story about a little girl name Marissa.

She is only 4 years old. In aug, little Marissa's life changed and so did the life of everyone that loved her.

This is a very long story and we have a website for her, I ask you all to please go to her site and read our story.

http://givemarissaback.com

 

Her father has taken her, and the battle is one you just won't believe. Marissa is such a happy little girl and loves her sister and mommy.

Her mommy ( amanda) is only allowed to see her 3 hours a week, and that is only 1 1/2 hour at a time. It is almost a 2 hour drive.

If any of you know anything about the Seneca Nation of Indians and the Peacemakers court than you will understand. IF YOU don't, YOU really need to read this story.

None of us was prepared or even aware of any of this and we only live an hour and half away.

Please take the time and read the story, than drop us a line.

Thank you for your time and please pray for this family....

 

This mother is in a battle for her children and she didn't do anything like Britney! In fact, she stays home and takes good care of her babies. She is a single mother just doing the best she can.

Read the story and would love to hear from you.

I sent the story to Dr. Phil, but I understand he get's so many letters that he just doesn't always have time to see them all. 

I thought if I can get the site out to enough people that the word will get out and maybe something can be done before it is too late.

Anyone with any idea's on how to fight this battle, or any ideas at all would be great.

We have contacted every news station, every news paper we can find addresses to.

Please feel free to send us links to any that we may have missed.

Britney

I am praying that she gets the help that she needs and soon.  I agree with Dr. Phil when he said that she really needs to go to court and say that she is sorry.  Saying it is one thing but she actually has to show the court that she is doing something about it.  As for her one time husband---please let me not wax on that fool.  This is a person if I were Britney's mom, I would have set the attack dogs on him cause the one thing that everyone is forgetting is this, was she or was she not sober and clean before that wannabe latched onto her?  I think that that answer should be a resounding yes on that one.  She needs to get the help that she needs and I think that she needs a dose of tough love because all she has around her is a lot of "yes" people and she needs to have someone who really loves her for her and not for her celebrity take her under their wing and say ,"This is for your own good" and take her out of the limelight for a bit until she is clean and sober.  As for her children, I hate to say this but I am going to say it any way, as a judge I would not have allowed Kevin any where near those children until he paid the back support that he owes for the other children that he had before coming together with Britney.  And if anyone out there thinks that he is not in this for the money then they are dead wrong.  It is a shame that she has come to this and that is the loss of her children to the likes of that fool.  I would say that there needs to be a court appointed guardian for those children and one that is there solely for the children and no one else.  As for Britney, my thoughts and prayers are with you and hoping that you will get the help that you need so that you can be reunited with your children and be the mother or the kind of mother that we all know that you can be.  Seek the help that you need now and if you ever needed a reason in order to seek it then all you have to remember is that you are a mother and you need to be with your children.
