Remember when she was labeled as a failure because of her scandals?

Really, for all the fuzz about her scandals, the only thing which she truly did wrong was to get involved with Kevin Federline. Otherwise, her scandals weren't really much to make a fuzz about. Her scandals were just embarrassing at her worst, but it's not as she behaved like a complete hostile and dangerous bitch who went completely out of control. So in reality her scandals weren't really that bad to warrant her a bad reputation. I do honestly consider her to be a sweetheart at heart, just one who made honest mistakes.

Nope. But the thing is if you're fortunate enough to get therapy.

Self mutilating in front of paparazzi while getting a pedicure was a bit much. I think that was the catalyst that drove her parents to involuntarily commit her the first time.

Every scandal she had seemed to be mental illness related. I don't recall any DUI's, drug use, controversial statements. It seemed fame was getting to her and she just went a little crazy.

[–] L1 (1316) 5 years ago

Yes drug use. It was even mentioned i m court and why she lost her kids (like she even cared)..and she drove with a baby on her lap. Plse don't sugarcoat.

[–] samoanjoes (51596) 5 years ago

I don't recall any drug use. I forgot about the baby on her lap.

Britney Spears not only had mental issues that landed her in a psych ward ... she was a drug abuser ... so says the California Court of Appeals.

It's pretty shocking, but new legal docs filed by Britney's own team include a 2015 decision by the appeals court which lays out Britney's struggles back in 2007 - 2008 in graphic detail.

The trigger for the new docs is an impending deposition in a case that squares Britney against her former friend and manager Sam Lutfi. Lutfi's team is about to take Britney's deposition, and her people filed a motion to keep him out of the room. The docs Britney's people filed included the 2015 decision.

The Court of Appeals chronicled the drama between Britney and Sam. The judges say when Britney and Sam met in 2007 her life was in turmoil. She was involved in a divorce, a custody battle and estranged from her parents. The judges add, "In addition, she was struggling with drug abuse."

The judges say Sam advised Britney about "the importance of getting clean." Britney's family claims Sam was actually the one who fueled her with drugs.

According to the judges, Britney asked Sam to manage her, and he accepted with 2 conditions -- she'd let him assemble a team, and she'd stop abusing drugs. He also insisted on the right to use drug sniffing dogs to make sure she stayed clean.

The judges say despite Britney's promises, she continued to abuse drugs. It got so dire at one point Britney ended up sleeping in a parking lot. That also happens to be the day she lost custody of her 2 kids.

And lets forget about when she went bald and couldnt perform. Her early sings made her for preaching virginity, now she’s anything but, trying to cling to her early youth desperately.

well that lifetime bio had that one manager she had to fire for being controlling and she has her father manage her now, as much as those things spice up the drama seems she couldn't trust anyone else from an outsider point of view
