Inside Britney's Breakdown

New details are emerging about the scary night that Britney Spears took one of her children hostage!

According to new reports, it was the court-appointed monitor that called police when Unfitney began behaving erratically on Thursday.

"She had already put Preston in the car when Britney locked herself in a room with Jayden," a source tells People. "The cops came and got through the door and tied her down to a gurney."

LAPD called the incident an "ongoing investigation."

Sean Preston was taken to the hospital by Federline's assistant, and Jayden James was in the ambulance with the monitor, a source says, adding that the boys "won't be back with [Spears] for a long time."

By all accounts, Britney suffered a severe mental breakdown last night.

“They had to strap her down like a mental patient and she was going between laughing and hysterics,” a source tells Us Weekly, calling it “a total psychotic breakdown. She just went crazy."

Another Spears pal says: "I guess she has good days and bad days - it's mental instability. All she has is to think of something sad and she goes crazy.”

Britney's dad, Jamie, remains at the hospital.

It will be interesting to see if Lynne or Jamie Lynn fly out to LA to be with Britney.

      Really it's no surprise this happened, only that it took so long coming.. doesn't sound like she did any harm to her child or herself and if she wasn't who she was it wouldn't amount to a pile of shit… Get well Brit whatever the problem is

      That sucks hardcore. But her friends should have seen this coming. People usually give signs of a break down for a couple weeks before something happens. Dear God, those kids are gonna be FUCKED UP. It's a cycle.

      WELL DONE PEREZ.

      Your constant Hatred towards Britney and vitriolic abuse and hatred has, along with the Paparazzi and other scum bags like you, finally driven Britney right down. I hope your proud.

      Maybe instead of hating on her and revelling in a young womans mental breakdown you should think about those poor kids….WHAT caused her to be like this, and the fact that her children are minus a mother.

      Perhaps START at Federline, and then you will understand what drove her where she is now.

    49. Lay off! says – reply to this


      49

      Perez, this I would have to say, is a much better post. But instead of poking fun at Britney for being such a disaster but finally getting help, you should be cheering her on.

      Mental illness is not a funny topic. You are basically making fun of all yoru fans who may suffer from mental illnesses. Not cool!

      When I was 13, my mother had a severe nervous breakdown after years of abuse as a child and at the hands of my father. It was a scary thing to see and heartbreaking to go through. She too had the hysterical laughing and everything. I have been watching her story unfold for some time and it all makes so much more sense now. I wish people would give her a break and let her work through this.

    58. just kill yourself already says – reply to this


      58

      she's so dramatic….she should just kill herself already so we can be done with her….she's not talented, has nothing meaningful to add to the world and she clearly is a detriment to not only society, but more importantly, those two children of hers

    59. Jo says – reply to this


      59

      This is just what she needed. i don't think she will ever be fit enough to have her kids back. But I hope that she gets better.

      This is so sad. At first it was funny and entertaining. Now it is just plain sad. That woman has been ravaged by the media and the public constantly for months and months. Why are people suprised this kind of stuff happens? She is obviously mentally ill. Look at her eyes, she looks like a scared animal. I feel very bad for her and I hope she doesn't kill herself for the sake of her children. No more Brit-bashing for me. I hope she gets the care she needs.

      Wait a minute, they are calling Britney crazy and psychotic? As far as I can tell it is the people who buy her music and go watch her lipsynch in concert who are crazy and psychotic. She's the smart one.

      Its sad but she brings this on herself, if only she would just stay home and not feed into the Pap's frenzy. Hopefully she will get better because kids need both their mom and dad, and yes she's crazy but I feel bad now because this isn't a soap opera its someones life…..just like a family member.
      Just stay home, be around people that love you, and stop feeding into being famous because its not everything Brit!

      What presidential elections??? BritBrit had a breakdown ya'll!!!!!

      I feel terrible for Kevin and especially her kids. As for Brit herself, a lot of this behavior could have been controlled with rehab, surrounding yourself around people who truly care and a couple of hobbies. I don't feel sorry for her one bit. She has done this to herself.

      I think she's bipolar. Cause that's exactly what happens to my mom when she's not on medication, she just has to think of something "sad" and she'll go into a psychotic episode.

      I feel bad for her.. I am with my kids 24/7 and if I only got to see them one time per week for a few hours.. I would go mad. They are my life.. I just wish that Kevin would reconsider since she is ill and maybe stand by her until she is strong again.. it's so terrible.

      Maybe she'll get some mental help now - she's clearly unbalanced. She could be bi-polar - I had a friend who we had to have committed after he went off his medication, but it was very, very difficult to do this. He tended toward manic and didn't sleep, was constantly out doing things at all hours, wore bizarre clothing for the situation/weather, and just looked kind of crazed. He would get a bunch of credit cards and max them out. Ironically, he also liked to go stay at a hotel… His own mother couldn't get him committed - it took several friends, a trip to the hospital, sedation, the police and psychiatrists.

      … between gossip and spewing hatred about, and glee over the problems of, somone like Britney Spears (and her children). You've gone too far, Perez. I say everyone who takes issue with Perez's motives and morals boycott this site and all of the companies who advertize on it. The guy is truly mean-spirited and the lowest of the low. You can't diss the paps if your reading Perez's crap.

      PEREZ if something happens to Brit you are RESPONSIBLE, RESPONSIBLE, RESPONSIBLE, RESPONSIBLE. In your quest to blame your stupid thoughts about the girl you forgot that she could be suffering from POST PARTUM DEPRESSION and yes Bipolar. You are so trying to be popular that you are destroying this young woman's life. Oh forgot you cannot do anything like that Amy Wino because she is your friend. Can't for your turn

      The children are so screwed unless they get some stability stat. Away from paparazzi and all the attention. Britney should have had full custody taken away a long time ago. I don't feel sorry for her one bit. Her mental stability or instability will be diagnosed soon enough but her biggest issues have been lack of character, drug addiction and the illusion of importance caused by celebrity and wealth.

    95. red says – reply to this


      95

      for the first time I feel sorry for her, i've thought for a long time she may be either suffering from post natal depression, 2 kids in two years, that's got too kick the sh** out of you or some kind of depressive disorder.
      Lets hope she gets some proper help and has some people round her who will care for her rather than use her.
      Biggest losers though are the kids, poor little sods. Would the US courts take them into care??

    96. Kris-10 says – reply to this


      96

      This seriously makes me so sad. People watch this like it's entertainment, but these are real people and there are children involved. I just wish she would get away for a long time and get help…for her AND her children's sake. I know she partially brings it on herself, but to not be able to walk into a store without 50 people and flashes going off in your face…that would seriously drive anyone insane. :( :(

    97. Zoom says – reply to this


      97

      I have mixed feelings about this. I feel bad for her, she clearly has serious mental health problems that are worsened by her fame. I frankly think that a perfectly healthy person would have emotional problems with the fame and constant scrutiny. BUT, these poor little boys! I have a daughter and I can't imagine the trauma for these kids. She had/has a responsibility to have sought the help she clearly needed before she deteriorated to the point that she clearly couldn't get the help on her own. I hope that the psychiatrists/psychogists and legal reps all do what is in the best interest of those boys.

      how is the media, Perez, etc. responsible for a girl who drives around at 2 am, shaves her head, misses court appearences, wants nothing to do with her kids, etc?? know who is responsible?? her family, friends, and 'camp'. if that was my sister, i'd drag her out of those clubs by her hair…way out of the spotlight.

      Re: Lay off! – maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, you can't say she's "finally getting help" like she showed up for a therapy appointment she made last week. bitch went nuts and traumatized her kids in the process. i have a sister-in-law with bpd. her eldest child has post-traumatic stress disorder from having to deal with all her britney spears-like bullshit all his young life. fuck britney and everyone like her. fuck them up their selfish, fucked-up asses that will never and CAN NEVER "get help" because the very nature of their mental disorder prevents their ever having the ability to realize that anything's wrong. britney's an emotional sped. britney and everyone else like her should just be shot. briefly grieving the extremely minor loss of having someone like that in your life is a hell of a lot better than dealing with all the drama and bullshit.

      Get well soon Brit Brit. You were the soundtrack to my teenage years. And ya know what? That amazing girl is still somewhere there inside. You can find her again. "If you look at me closely, you can see it in my eyes, this girl will always find her way". I believe it. You will be OK sweetheart. Get better.
