Spears' Family Secret Revealed

Britney Spears

According to a new expose by Us Weekly magazine, Britney Spears grandmother Emma Jean Spears suffered from depression and committed suicide.

The mother of Britney's father Jamie shot herself at her 3-day old daughters grave when Jamie was just a child.

The magazine reveals, "Britney's paternal grandmother actually suffered from depression; she had lost her three-day-old baby and actually shot herself to death at the child's graveside."

Spears' grandmother was said to have slipped into a deep depression that she felt she couldn't recover from and took her life as a result.

That's a really tragic family secret for a magazine to expose, but that's the life of a celebrity. You trade in your privacy when you make your first million. It's like selling your soul to the devil.

Well you know Britney has been in the limelight long enough to know that her life will be a open book and that her past and her families pasts will surface eventually. It's how she and other celebs deal with those situations that makes them worth looking up to are quite the opposite and so far Brit has been going down a path of shame, and how she handles it is in a immature, self-centered way. Who would want to look up to someone like that, and who would want their kids to emulate such a trouble person. I understand that she has a damaged past and perhaps that is coming back to bite her in the ass, but like I said you could either learn and grow from that past and make yourself a better person by not following in those mistakes again or you could let them corrupt and destory who you are. I still think this girl should seek out some theorpy and maybe if she talk through her problems and what might be bothering her then maybe she would be a better person for it. It can not hurt, and if she does not want to talk to a theorapist then go to talk to a preist in Confession they are not allowed to rat on her ever. This is no reason why she can not talk out her problems.

She needs to sue! Sue the paps, media, lying magazines, etc., SUE!!! It is her grandmother! How many want their Grandmother bashed?! You are sick evil freaks and you reap what you sow. And who knows who Britney has spoken with? She may have gone to a priest for all we know. Remember they only print BAD things about Britney. Millions still love you Britney and THEY can't change that!!!

If she does have a mental illness then all this crap in the media isn't going to help. Paranoia is a bad thing when mentally ill. As soon as she starts seeing a therapist, 2000 paps will be there for the first shot and make it so much harder to go into the session.

yup
I don't understand what the big deal is.. this happens all the time, it's called real life. besides lots of celebritys had horrible things happen when they were younger. Us weekly just wants to make a buck.. they couldn't "reveal" this years ago? no only when she's down.. so they can make a few dollars. I don't think people really looked up to Britney.. I think they just liked her style and the way she danced. It's not Britney's responsibility to raise all the kids in America or the world, people. I think it's funny people bash Britney but they don't bash Lindsay in that way.. and she was a LOT worse.. see how many times she went to rehab?

Binda that's why she should go see a priest. They are NOT allowed to reveal anything that is said in confessional so she does not have to worry about information leaking out to public, and if she is photographed going to church then it would not make her look bad. It would probably hold more weight in her favor when she goes to court. Right? I mean trying to find faith and help could not possibly be looked down upon by anyone. So ask yourself this what would be the down side? Does she have anything else to lose at this point?

I agree with you La Chat, she does need someone in her life she can count on and guide her in the right direction without telling everyone all the bad and not the good. But what I find disturbing is that when you are ill you don’t need people constantly digging your grave for you. Because believe me she is headed there a person can only take so much. That is why people just need to step up and say leave her alone, she is a human for god sake and we are all gods people and I am sure god does not like ugly!

DTE...If you feel that way then how come everytime Miss Thang, Tasha and me said that she needed to get help you were against it in the past? I don't think that it's good that she is hounded, but if she wasn't hounded by the press and the media I think she would be seeking them out, because she doesn't know anything else. That's her life. That's what she lives for. It's what she always lives for, and sometimes you are going to come off negative and sometimes you won't, but like I said it's how you handle those situations that determines what kind of person you are, and what kind of person you will become.

It's just my opinion
It sounds to me like all of you need to get a life. You're posting comments like you're friends with Britney Spears and you really know her. Give me a break. She's not your friend and she she doesn't give a rat about you and what you think. The only good comment on here was the one about the girl walking in on her parents having sex. Now that's good entertainment.

God, I feel sorry for Britney. I KNOW that you sell your privacy when you become a celebrity but that doesn't make it alright. Fuck US Weekly.

Again I have never said that I did not think this girl needed someone she can trust. I am clearly on Britney's side! She does not seek these people out, you must not live in CA becase if you did you would see the line of cars that sit at her gate and wait for her to leave. Lastly when I make a negative comment towards someone I am clearly trying to show others how it feels for someone they dont know pass judgement on them. I am sure you can understand that. As I will say again I am 100% wishing Britney the best in the world and for her to get her kids back from that "Kevin" because he really is a slime ball. So from that I say is we all just need to sit back and let this girl have some peace in her life. It seems she is trying she is not clubbling and she is staying away from the pap. I would think even you can see that change.

California is rather a big state. I could be living in California and not be watching her gate like you (the stalker) so that goes to show you don't know everything. So much for being able to prove who people are and where they come from by looking into that log in sheet lameo, and it also proves that you are the one that needs to get a life if you spend that much time obessesing over this washed up pop star. Oh and It's not your place to show others how it feels to make negative comments. People are entitled to their opinions weither or not you agree with them. Just like you are entitled to your own opinion. Weither or not any of us(me and other bloggers) agree with it. Brit was raised in a life style in which she gets judged all the time and if she's not use to it by know after about 20 years then she should find a better way to be able to deal with it or get the fuck out of that business. Plain and Simple

La Chat! You really know how to hold it down!! :-) You're right, the comments on here are hiliarous. Funny how tones change. And DTE, since you think you are the best role model and mother ever and since you "claim" to know a friend of a friend of a friend of the two, then why not introduce yourself to Britney and help her see the light and see that she needs to get help in order to do right by her children?

Well I tried to be nice! But as always your age starts to show. Why would I possibly tell you actactly where I live, that is the age thing I am talking about. You dont have to stalk Britney the line of paps will tell you. Little girls who are little minded have lonley lives. Miss Thing you must smoke pot because you do not remember a fucking thing. You stupid little girl, I never said I know anyone that knows Britney, I said I know someone that knows Kevin and I guess I better say this again I do not know Kevin. Did you get that this time and La Chat you need medication for your mood swings one minute you are talking about how she can be helped by god and then the next you are calling her a washed up pop star. All I can say is goodness I wish I was a washed up pop star that makes 737 thou a month with a #2 cd out. I have a life and a job what about you misserable mindless peasants. Lastly I was the best mother in the world and the funny thing is when I had my child at home I did not blog all day long loosers. :)

I glad that I am not the only one that sees that DTE is going back on what she says. I love the way you think also Miss Thang. Your obsoultely right if DTE really did know a friend of a friend of who was it? K-Fed? Then why is she waiting outside Britney's gate everyday? why not go up and tell her in person what she/he thinks about the whole situation? I said it before and I will say it again. DTE is such a fake ass bitch.

She is a washed up pop star. Getting faith is not going to change that, but it will give her a outlet to talk things out. It's obvious that she needs to have a outlet of some sort and it's not just going to fall in her lap like everything else. I know that might come as a shock to you DTE considering that you think she is perfection and I wouldn't be surprised if you want to be her, but it's true. What meds are you on?

For someone who tries to come off like a expert of parenting I must say recommending PILL POPPING is poor judgement on your part. Did you teach your kid to do that? or was it instinct for your kid to just pick up that behavior pattern? I mean if I was raised by a crazy bitch like yourself I might have taken your advice just now, but my parents raised me properly and I don't need to be shoving pills down my throat to delusion myself from actual reality.

What is wrong with Britney Spears??? THAT my friend...is the million dollar question. In that position I'd just look at it like "Hey I must be all that otherwise paps would care less" I think she is really letting negativity bring her down. She probably feels like failure more everyday. It's a shame she has become so careless.

All I can say is "La Chat" you are negative about everything and everyone, if you think positively for a change maybe your child will grow up and be a productive individual to our society and not take a gun to school and kill everyone. Oh and my child is a very positive individual, contributes her time to charity, and loves life. Only time will tell about your child and god will be watching over you.

DTE...ha me on crack! No my dear that is your BFF Brit. You did say you knew a friend of a friend of KFeds...who obviously have to know Britney rather its intimidately or just acquintance...regardless if you know someone who knows Kfed then why not go to them and say tell Kfed that I want to help Brit and to relay the message insted of defending her tooth and nails on the internet. And when you came back from "Hawaii" you said you knew all first hand bases of what Brit was and was not doing because of this "friend" who knew them...I think it is you who is smoking that mess. And when you was a mother-if you are being truthful about your age which I seriously doubt because you hid behind so many made up masks-internet wasn't even an option for you...do some damn research. The internet wasn't completely accessible until the late 90's where it was more accessible. Thus by that time your would had been daughter would had been off to college if she ever went. DTE, you want to call La Chat negative when you were the one who started this negativity against bloggers. You tried to call people out for their opinion that Brit needs help for her obvious drug and mental problems. You my dear need some help as well. You threaten people via internet claiming you can send CPS to houses [hey! Im still waiting because they haven't showed up to my house yet and my child was just on the honor roll and accelerated reading classes That's my baby!:-)] You were on this computer all night long so its obvious you are envious that La Chat and I are happy people who can call you out all the time and still have time to go home after a long day working and please our families. Try spending time with your child instead of trying to defend a person who don't really care that you exists right now. Oh lastely you don't spell loser looser....try spell checking if you really want to name call on a blog site.

Again Miss Thing, you are really a stupid girl. Did I say Crack, "no". Please look above and read the blog again! I never threatened you I said "It could happen to you" that is not a threat. You are just one big joke! Take your perfect little non remembering self and make sure your child is not smoking your stuff. I am glad your daughter made honor roll that is sweet, maybe she can teach you the skill of remembering. I have never dished first, that is not how I play. I do onto others as they have done to me. Lastly never try to guess someones age by the age of there children. There is a thing called adoption and how do you know I did not adopt a older child. Oh and bleieve me I am not envious, I find your life a little boring and disterbing at the same time. Again you have never called me out on anything and if you did your research you stupid little girl the internet was created in 1983. STUPID STUPID GIRL!

DTE...The internet was created actually in 1960's but wasn't accessible by the public. The internet was greatly used and MORE accessible to the public in the late 90's...do some research bitch. Secondly if you "adopted" an older child in which you once before said you gave birth to, then you didn't raise her from baby to adulthood like you claimed you did when you first talked about your daughter. Lastly Crack Pot whatever...drugs are drugs and sorry I don't touch the mess. You are the stupid one who think you can pretend to be someone worth wild but you keep getting your lies singled out. Oh btw-why didn't you answer my first question...if you know a friend of a friend of a friend of Kfed, why not ask to set up a meeting between you and your role model so you can help "guide" her? La Chat, Tasha, loo loo and all Happy Thanksgiving!

Did I say I adopted "no" I said I could have. There you go again saying I said something I did not. Why would you think that Britney would let someone into her life that Kevin says they want to help? Again Miss Thing use your brain, I am sorry "you don’t have one". About the internet thing, you really must do more research!!! Miss Thing get off your high and try to remember what you have been reading and stop saying I have said things I have not. It is showing more and more with every blog that you brain is just fried! Don’t even bother coming back with some other lie because time is up for this thread and I will be moving on to the next. See ya there! :-)

DTE, umm you were the one who said "There is a thing called adoption and how do you know I did not adopt a older child." Thus I talked about your hypothetical adopted child...see the ""'s...you are the one showing your stupidity. Secondly do some research on the internet and when it was used and when it became accessible to the public you dumb ass. Lastly, when you first talked about Brit, you said you knew first hand EVERYTHING that was going on and thus you KNEW what BRIT WAS AND WAS NOT doing...so if you are that close to the situation, all you have to do is get Brits address and go visit her herself. As much as she still loves KFed, I am sure she would welcome you with open arms. You are so full of lies, you yourself can't keep up with them.

DTE...First of all I know for a fact that you don't live in Cali like you say, because if you did you would not be bragging about living there. It's also obvious that you don't make a lot of money, because you are envious of Britney's wealth. Me I could careless about what other people make in a hour, month, year, etc. I always felt as though their are more important things to life then just money, and for someone who claimes that she's a older women and that her kids are all ground up I must say you should have already known that by now.

BRITNEY SPEARS IS A KIND AND LOVING PERSON, SHE IS VERY SCARED OF LOSING HER BOYS AND I MEAN I WOULD BE TO. KEVIN WAS NEVER WITH BRIT AND THE TWO LITTLE ONES WHEN THEY WERE TOGETHER, HE WAS ALWAYS OUT PARTYING AND MAKING A FOOL OF HIMSELF, WHICH LEADS ME TO THE FACT THAT BRITNEY HAD NO SUPPORT FROM HIM AT ALL AND AS MUCH AS SHE LOVED HIM SHE FELT THAT SHE HAD TO LET HIM GO! AS FOR BRITNEY NOW, SHE IS VERY SAD AND ANYONES GUESS DEPRESSED ABOUT K-FED GETTING FULL CUSTODY AND HER NOT BEING ABLE TO GET HER BOYS BACK.......HER LITTLE BOYS MEAN THE WORLD TO HER SHE WOULD NEVER HARM THEM SHE LOVES THEM SO MUCH. GOOD LUCK BB xx
