Britney Spears’ family and ex-husband are concerned that she is using crystal meth. The ‘Toxic’ singer’s rambling social media outbursts have alarmed fans, and he former husband Kevin Federline, the father of her sons Preston, 17, and Jayden, 16.
Federline has admitted he lives in fear of receiving a phone call informing him that she has died, and her children are desperate for her to seek help.
“I fear she’s on meth – I’ve been praying someone would make it public and that she wakes up,” Kevin told documentary filmmaker Daphne Barak. It’s frightening. She is the mother of my children. “Every time the phone rings, I fear it will bring devastating news.”
“I don’t want the boys to wake up one morning to discover their mother has overdosed.”
The filmmaker, who has spent nine months working on a new documentary with Kevin, Britney’s sons, her parents, and her brother, stated in the Mail on Sunday that the boys refuse to meet with the 41-year-old singer because they claim to have seen narcotics being transported to her house.
Preston then informed her, “All we want is for her to listen to us.”
Jamie Spears, Britney Spears’s father, is also anxious that his daughter would die early, like troubled British singer Amy Winehouse, who died in 2011 at the age of 27.
During a discussion about the ‘Back to Black’ singer, he stated, “Yes, exactly… Britney may die like Amy.”
While Britney’s fans have chastised the patriarch for his involvement in monitoring the conservatorship she was under for 13 years until November 2021, he insists he was merely looking out for his daughter’s best interests.
“Compare her wellness then and how she is now,” he remarked.
There were reports earlier this year that Britney would be subjected to an intervention orchestrated by Jodi Montgomery, the singer’s former conservator who had stayed on her team at the request of the ‘Gimme More’ hitmaker, but it did not take place, and the star took to Instagram to claim there had been no such plan.
“Jodi had told Kevin to prepare his boys for what was about to happen,” Daphne wrote. When the opportunity arose, he was filming alongside me.
“I watched him nervously, glued to his phone, waiting for Jodi’s text to say the intervention had begun.” But no text arrived, simply a notification informing me that Jodi had quit.
“When rumours of it surfaced online, Britney Spears took to Instagram to deny the story, claiming there was no such plan.” But I was present. In truth, she had been warned, and the idea had collapsed.”
Britney Spears further admitted that a concerned relative informed her, “This was the last chance of saving her.”
Preston and Jayden have had “good conversations” on the phone with their mother but are “not ready” to visit her. They recall Britney’s insistence on continuing to bathe them when they were 11 and 12, and one occasion when they found her standing near the door of her youngest son’s bedroom, clutching a knife.
Jayden explained, “She was standing there with a knife.”
“The boys are doing their best to focus on their future,” Daphne said. They clearly feel unable to meddle in their mother’s life.
“Their only power is to stay away, hoping that one day she will understand their reasons and they can repair their relationship.”
The Rise of Britney Spears
Britney Spears is a singer, songwriter, dancer, and actress from the United States. With a succession of successful albums and popular songs in the late 1990s and early 2000s, she soared to fame. Spears, who was born on December 2, 1981, in McComb, Mississippi, began her career as a child actor, appearing in a variety of television shows and commercials.
Her breakthrough occurred in 1998, when her debut hit, “Baby One More Time,” topped the charts in multiple countries and catapulted her to international celebrity. The accompanying album of the same name was a big success as well, selling over 10 million copies in its first year.
Brittney Spears’ subsequent albums were all commercial successes, including “Oops!… I Did It Again” (2000), “Britney” (2001), and “In the Zone” (2003). She rose to prominence in the 2000s as a pop icon thanks to her daring look and carefully choreographed music videos.
Spears’ personal and legal problems drew extensive media attention in 2007. She had a widely publicised breakdown and was placed under conservatorship, which has sparked tremendous debate and public scrutiny. Jamie Spears, her father, was in charge of her personal and financial matters during the conservatorship.
In recent years, a movement known as “Free Britney” has advocated for the end of the conservatorship and the return of Spears’ autonomy. The initiative drew a lot of attention, which rekindled interest in her case and fueled an ongoing court battle.
Despite her difficulties, Britney Spears remains a cultural phenomenon and a renowned personality in the music industry. Her impact on mainstream music and large fan base have solidified her place as one of the most successful and recognisable performers of her generation.
