Was Rehab Necessary for Britney?

It's no secret that after Britney Spears was 'forced' to go to rehab, she shut a lot of people out of her life. She stopped talking to her mother Lynne, she's constantly feuding with K-Fed, and she even fired her ex-manager Larry Rudolph.

Britney believes that her rehab stint was totally uncalled for and she's pissed off that she was forced to go in the first place.

Professionals believe that Britney's real problem was 'post-partum depression' and she became emotionally unstable after her high profile divorce, the birth of her second son, and all the media scrutiny--it didn’t help that she was taken off Prozac either.

According to TMZ, Britney’s reps and her assistant/cousin Allie have been working overtime calling up Promises to get some copies of her records. After several phone calls, her reps finally got two sets of reports, both showing no drug or alcohol use whatsoever. Surprisingly, the first reported was dated March 7; more than two weeks after Britney was checked into the facility.

Britney's reps then called Promises and asked for any evidence of a ‘dirty test’, but there was nothing on file. The question remains, if the first test was taken more than two weeks after Britney checked in, how could they treat her if they didn't know the problem?

miss thang

she was doing drugs way before she had kids-remember the video of her eating and obviously drugged out say "huh?" And the first drug test was adminstered two weeks after she was admitted...thus ofcourse drugs wouldn't be in her system. Last, why would anyone ask the drs for proof that she was doing drugs if you absolutely know that you were "drug free" as she says. Post partum my ass...more like a drunk/druggie trying to find something to blame their problems on-all the classic signs of an addict.

shes a publicity hoe

She's doing all this to keep her name into the headlines. She only cares about herself. THis picture above was of her waving to the paps after she served her mom the papers. If you was really upset with your mothe and think she is such a bad person, you wouldn't be smiling and all happy going toward the paps after having to do such a hard thing as she did. She obviously still in her selfish mode and want to make people believe she is not to be blamed for her own actions.

I find this whole thing disgusting. There's even a video out there where her car leads the procession of paps in their cars out to surprise a working Lynn Spears. Brit dramatically hauls out a letter, then eventually poses in her "aw shucks , I'm so adorable" pose. (see above photo).She's addicted to the paps now. She even insults the paps and gets by with it.It disturbs me that she wants to "humiliate" her mother in front of the world as she imagines her mother did to her by trying to get her some help along with Kevin. Never mind the fact that those boys are his as well and he has to have their best interest at heart since obviously, Brit has misplaced her concern for the boys.It's all sad. She needs a mental hospital more than anything. Oh,I am not a "Hater" nor am I just "jealous".Thought I'd clear that up for the middle school crowd that posts.

Tasha

Does post partum make you take your draws off and your stuff to the world?

I meant show your stuff to the world. You're right Miss Thang - total addict!!!!

I agree Tasha and annon...she needs help and fast. And Tasha...you are hilarous lol!

lavigne's stinky asshole

What about Avril Lavigne's stinky asshole. I want to eat Avril Lavigne's FECES

If she's on drugs, rehab and more rehab may not help. Abstain from drugs and lcohol requires sheer determination from herself and support from families and friends. She did expressed her inner thoughts via her website after rehab but message got deciphered wrongly and mocked at through some "guessing game". How can rehab help her if she can't open up because whatever she said or do, will be up in the internet, CNN etc... Now they start digging on her medical history! Aren't personal information and client rivacy should remain confidential? Basically, I believe what Britney needs is a direction in life, a career, acquire new skills etc.. to focus on, not 24hrs with kids, filled with boredom. She is only 26, a long way to retire. People who had been successful in their achievements are very focus in what they do. She was doing great when trying to work out on her new album, at least get back on her body shape, a good startup. She is vulnerable right now, may do anything "stupid" if propagated. If you Americans out there (include her family members, ex-hub, paparazzi) have any compassion, spare the poor girl of any more misery. She needs to gain the trust in order to listen up to someone and this cannot be done overnight!

THEMOMMA

SHE'S A TRAINWRECK WAITING TO HAPPEN .... JUST GIVE IT A FEW MORE MILES AND GET THE PHOTO SHOT OF IT !!!!!

ks think about it

If Britney was so tired of the lime light and ready to focus on her life-then she would go away and lay low until people forget about her wild ways. But that isn't what she truly wants. She loves being in the spot light. She isn't worried about being a mother. Being 26 isn't being too young to be a full time mother. Anytime you make the decision to bring a child into the world, you have decided to devote your life to making your child safe and happy and well taken care of-meaning yep she loses part of her "freedom" because she has kids to raise. Apparently you are not a mother/father yourself. Its alright to go out and have fun every once in a while but not every night, every weekend etc. And to those who wants to blame Brits mother on how she turned out because she was "forced" into this lifestyle-think about the other child actors out there who has shown that they can have a normal life and still be in a the spotlight i.e. Jessica Simpson and look how hard her father has pushed her. Umm think about it. Please people get off the pity me campaign for Britney and start thinking about her sons out there who are suffering the most because their mother refuses to grow up and take responsibility for her kids and her own actions.

jesse

utter disaster

SayNotoReligion

Post Partum depression doesn't make you take you panties off but manic/depression (aka bipolar disorder) sure will. All this attention seeking behavior is one of the many symptoms of mania. You have also seen her when she is depressed and couldn't give a rat's ass about how her appearance is.

Let me also said this, her sons will be very proud of their mom when they grew up inheriting the millions - just like the the princes of Wales. Do you really believe in all the media frenze and digitized images and "guesswork" written ? There are millions of woman all over the world having a career and being mom at the same time. First time, they struggled but still make it. What a definition of a role model mom anyway ? Being with the kid 24 hrs, grow fat, ugly? Just trip and almost fell when holding her son is classified as not a good mom? Rich woman all over the world depends on babysitter, maids to take care of their kids. Are people comparing her with a layman's wife like Shar? These are all not "pity me" campaign. This is looking at problems objectively, not subjectively!

La Chat

She is obviously a girl with many personal issues. I feel bad for her mother, because I really don't think she did anything wrong by sending Britney to get some help. She really needed it. It was obvious that she was not going to get help on her own, and that she was dangering herself.

I do agree that Britney's mom is made a "victim" being instigated to meddle with a love/hate relationship. If the ex-hub really cares for the children, he should also be concerned over her welfare. Afterall Britney sacrificed the world and career for love and at 26, have to dealt with a huge divorce settlements, child custody, media pressure. It already a great defeat for her and must have hurt real bad! If her kids are really being compromised in any way under her care (as describe by the ex=hub), Britney herself should be answerable for it. She's 26, maybe naive and overprotected all her life, but she will grow up when given the responsibilty of a mom. Every woman also go through that state. Is the ex-hub trying to be funny, worst instigate the mum and damage their mother-daughter relationship because he haven't hustle enough from her? Drag to rehab and more rehab etc can probably help a person in short term but sincere support and love from family and friends can last a lifetime and this is what Britney needs. Loosing her mum's support is also another defeat for her!

KS you must be a young teenager

To think that Britneys demise is the work of her soon to be ex husband. You can not blame her decision to take drugs, drink, party and not be a real mother to her kids on her ex husband who has shown that he rather be there for his kids when push came to shove. Real mothers knows that a man will only do so much when it comes down to raising kids..sad but true. Britney wants the world handed to her and expects it and doesn't care about no one but herself. I do hope, KS, that you do not have kids of your own right now but you obviously don't have the mentality of a true mother.

Sad to disappoint you, I am not a teenager nor am I a great Britney's fan! Are the paparazzi there 24 hrs, mins , secs of the day on the ex-hub, to catch his wild action on camera? I believe not cos' he doesn't have any values to be search in the internet! Of course, maybe he can be an "angel father" for the time being, afterall, he only need to laze around and spent other people's hard-earned $$ and if he wins full custody, he can laze even more.... "Real" mothers in America really exempt themselves from Party and drinks ? Wow, America must surely be an ideal place to raise kids. So I should assume they don't need Rehab centres anymore, right? Afterall, they will all grow up as "ANGELS" Face it! Your expectations on Britney as an "role mom" is overwhelming, she is HUMAN afterall, and she repeated that many times to the world that she made mistakes and decisions in her life! The world really see her made the greatest mistakes and decision, that is marrying the wrong guy! I can only tell you, I am speaking on behalf of many woman. NO woman will want to share their man; if the man is committed, he has show he is commit fully to only 1 family, reassure his total love for her and prove he isn't the 2-timer asshole, gold-digger that the world perceived! If you are a woman, I seriously can't believe you can support a man like that! Is that considered a "REAL" and model father ? Sadly to tell you, you are equally driving a wrong message to the teens of today - only right for a man to be a hustler, and not right for a woman to partied once in a while!

Is it been known that to be rich, mix with the rich, to be famous, mix with the famous, to be an achiever, learn from the achiever? Britney's success does comes from her personal achievements, using her talent at a young age and beauty combine. Trust me, her kids will grow up feeling very proud to have a mom who had been an achiever, rather than living with a non-achiever. When they cannot succeed in life, they will start to blame the father for separating them from a great mom. Like it or not, haters of Britney, I know you hate to read this but this is REALITY! Britney earns her millions not through any undesirable means. Give her that respect as the POP princess of America and I believe someone out there will definitely earn the credit if he/she can turn her around. She is stubborn, grief-stricken and trust no one right now, but eventually, she will see the "light" being a Baptist since young and looking at her family background. Ok, I do have confident in her and sincerely hope the best for her and her mom to be reunite.

KS you really are as stupid as you sound

Britney not only decided to mess with Kevin when he had a child at home and one one the way and then decided to ASK HIM TO MARRY HER even after she knew of his misdeeds and 2) she slept with married man, tore up his marriage KNOWING he was married as well. She is not a saint and her kids will not see her as one. She is a homewrecker just like Kevin and she doesn't give a fuck who knows it. It is all about her and when anyone decides to take the focus off her and put her last on their list, she gets pissy and decides to wreck havoc in their lives for an example her mother-her mother's focus is on her kids welfare now and not pitying Brit and thus the reason for the drift-just like Kevin he is telling her to get better for her kids sake but since she can't have him, she wants to make his life a living hell. Don't be dumb to believe the hype she is trying to spew out. All Kevin has to do and all he had to do back then was take her ass to court and get full custody of the kids and she would had to pay him millions and he would had been happy to have the money since he is such a gold digger ya know. Please wake up and face reality. You talk about the message to youth-you are telling them it is okay to do drugs and drink and ignore your kids until you feel good and ready to be bothered with them whereas I am telling them to take responsibility for their actions, take care of their kids, and put yourself last after your kids and that is a bad message. Man please never become a school counselor for the kids sakes!

Wow, you do sound like you know Brit's and your dear Kelvin so well. I hope you are not the first ex. If you are, you are insane to do this for him! Let me also stress one more time - Mr K-Fed can never be a role model father, forget about full custody. He has never take any RESPONSIBILTIES seriously, made 2 woman shed tears, leave them after they had 2 kids, contributing nothing but his sperms and gaining millions from divorce settlement and off he goes for his next pot of gold. If he had been a responsible man, he won't even play around with her feelings and marry her in the first place knowing he already had a wife at home. Yes, Britney was dumb to marry him in the first place but being young, LOVE naturally comes first, and now realised the millions payout, and that's may be the reason of her hesitation on the divorce settlements and making life hell for him. Drugs on Britney are what you read and assume the worst. If he really cares and want the best for the kids, he does not need to involve Brit's mom.He should know he is the best person to change her! Use your brain -Drugs and Drinks for teens all over the world are society problem, deal it at that level! If it's not widely available, no one can posses it so easily. So are guns for the terrorist! Moral teaching like looking after your wife and children, how they behave are stuffs parents can show example. I suggest you go youtube and view Mr Rusell Peters 's joke - American and Indian kids, basically abt American kids who can even sue their parents for mistreatment. Let hope one day your son come by and tell you "Dad, Mum, I want to learn dancing, build my body,be a backstage dancer, marry the million dollar POP star, pressure her for a divorce after I screw enough and get my millions, no need to work!" - Sadly, that will be Mr K-fed moral teaching for your kids!

KS please get a life

Britney young and in love--boy she must be so full of love to marry twice in one year. Love yeah right-lets go with more on a drug binge. You can defend her until you are black and blue in the face. Proof is in the pudding, we all see her video of her high, we all hear her friends, family, and strangers talk about how she likes to drink and get high. She is just like Lindsey Lohan and Paris Hilton-who both denys they ever did drugs and Linds denyed she had a drinking problem as well. We all know the truth, it is about time you face it. Get a life KS-please so that you can learn what life is really all about.

Let me enlighten you with the pics :- 1. Caught without undies - Ok, she partied once a while, drink but not drive, play crazy game till she lost undies. Caught by paparazzi, unfortunate - Show Intentionally - Ans is NO. 2. Bend down to show undies - Show Intentionally - YES, because she wants you to know she wore undies. 3. Show her Nip, not aware clothings too big cos' she slim down. Show Intentionally - Ans is NO. 4. Nip Shown in Wardrobe, So clearly seen, the curtains are pulled open by someone outside - Show Intentionally - Ans is NO. If the show is unintentional, is this ADD? Picture/Videos show a thousand words. You will not accept my above enlightment listed cos' you are bias on Britney and as a result, this has impaired your judgement. Let go to her daily routine - went studio for workout, shopping, buy groceries, join friends for drinks few nights a week. Is this normal lifestyle, going out having fun, drinks even after you are married and have kids ? Ask any sales/marketing personel or celebrities, I believed you can get more than 60% telling you it's a YES! Drugs falls into many category, those for medical reason and those like heroine, cocaine which I believe you are talking right now. Have you heard abt control and regulations of drugs? Mentioned earlier, these are society issue, deal at that level! Was it that because she mixed with Paris and Lohan that she is getting all these bashing? Maybe she really doesn't have much choices, at least they do share a common ground - LOST IN LOVE, till she finds another LOVE of her life! Let get back to the focus point, that is, is Rehab neccessary? As mentioned earlier, IF Britney's really on drugs, getting high, rehab and more rehab may not help in the long term. Abstain from drugs and alcohol requires sheer determination from herself and sincere support from families and friends. Maybe basically what she really need is medical treatment for depression. If the ex-hub cares so much for the kids and not the $$$, he should be bold enough to prove that to the world, not Britney showing she can care for her kids. Basically involving Brit's mum only show his incapabilty as a husband and a father. How can he deserves the full custody? The kids under Brit's care are currently not in jeopardy. Anyway, she will have to face the consequences if anything happens to the kids. By the way, neither can the ex-hub assure and prove he can raise his kids well in years to come... I seriously think you are the one who should get on with your own life cos' you are damaging others and neither do I see you care. So does Britney seems normal like you, don't care the fuck abt others and their opinions??.

ks you are a dope

To be the only one here to even try to defend the druggie she is. She is what you call in denial. She don't think she has a problem. She is another Janice Dickenson in the making. I just hope, for your future kids sakes, that you grow up and realize when you have kids, it isn't about you anymore. It is all about your kids. Sorry get with the problem or atleast be responisble enough not to bring any kids into the world while you are still ready to party hard like she did and still do.

Hey, I am here giving you a view as an independent observer, listening to no heresay and rumours etc... but to look at things constructively, not defending anyone :- 1. First let talk abt Paris's interview. You are expecting her to publicly announce she took drugs on TV and then be drag to jail again? She is just acting "nice" to retain her public popularity and there are many such people over the world who are like that - say what they don't mean! Let me give you an example of a salesman selling you a product, he claimed it can grind, chop and even bake. Use your common sense, a grinder will never bake. You stupidly trust the guy and brought your heavenly product home and then found it's not only cannot bake, it can only grind potato and carrots but not garlic. Come on, she is a celebrity, not a politician, she does not need to act what she preach!. She already served ~23 days in isolation without any drugs addiction problem, so where's the prove? By the way, drug abuse will be dealt by the law in the country. OK, clear... 2. Let look at Britney and compare whose the better parent:- a. Britney - she is a homewrecker, bad. It takes two to tango, why blame the woman and not the man?. So both Brit and ex are "bad" - agree? YES. b. Brit's mum see a talent in her child, like any mother will help the child to excel to greater heights. Ultimately, it;s the child effort and making use of every given opportunity to raise that standard. At least Britney make her millions through her own sheer hardwork and determination. That's the credential earned and I respected that. A hustler earning his millions is no difference from anyone who acquire through undesirable means. That will never earn any respect. c. Take the example of the 3 popular girls in their plight - where were the fathers? Ashamed, in hiding, behind the scene, blamed the wife on all the upbringing. OK, we do see one father making a fool of himself in court! At least he is there, so give the man some credit - it's 3 woman and 1 man, that's. 25% for the man and 75% for the woman. You can gather statistics worldwide, and you can also conclude that the mother is always there for their child, no matter what! So who's can be the better parent? Make your sound judgement, ok .... clear? ---- Brit's mum may innocently be involved in their divorce proceedings when she was in rehab, putting her at a disadvantage... If Britney is using her thinking cap and fighting spirit now, she is in control and definitely VERY VERY SOBER! -------- By the way,why are you so concern about her kids if you don't give damn about the mother of the child. After all, the child will inherit the parent's gene, if acquire the "bad" gene, he is going to make more woman shed tears. If he acquire Brit's "good" gene, at least, there is still hope for American to groom another POP king. I have made my final points very clear and seriously don't care a damn whether you even have a constructive mind at all to begin with....Now I also put myself as another selfish person who don't care how others react. So me, you and Britney, we are normal, right? I can't change your opinions, neither can you change mine overnight, just like Britney will never listen to anyone right now cos' she also has the same ego like you and me. Get the point?? *** By the way, drug abuse will be dealt by the law in the country. OK, clear...clear...clear. America's a democratic society, people can choose to lead their own lifestyle, right? Celebrities are not perfectionist. However, look at the positive front, a prodigal son may one day return to the father. All it takes is the father to welcome him back with that open arms.........

Boo Boo

Hell no rehab wasn't needed, she needs a fucking looney bin, with a nice white straight jacket and padded walls.
