Britney Spears has her family very concerned right now!
Perezcious readers know the pop star has been making a lot of troubling headlines over the past few months. In March, she got pulled over and arrested for a DUI after driving erratically. Britney ended up going to rehab and pleading guilty to a lesser charge, so she is on probation for 12 months, must see a psychologist once a week and a psychiatrist twice a month, and more. Although sources claimed the singer was doing well post-treatment, she worried fans again after reports dropped of her causing chaos at the Blue Dog Tavern in Sherman Oaks this month.

Witnesses accused Britney of yelling, barking, and even walking around with a knife. However, a rep for the Crossroads actress shut down the allegations. They insisted she was only “telling the story about how her dog was barking at the neighbors,” “cutting her hamburger,” and nothing more. And honestly, we didn’t even believe things got as wild as the reports claim in the first place!
Some of her loved ones don’t buy Brit’s side of the story, though. An insider told Star Magazine on Tuesday that the family thinks that “there were too many eyewitnesses” for the reports not to be true. But they can’t do anything to help her following the alleged incident. Britney is estranged from most of her family, except for her two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James Federline, who recently came back into her life. So, the source claimed the family is feeling “utterly helpless” at the moment:
“They’re literally just spectators to her life now. If they wanted to enable her, there’s a chance they could be in her life in a closer way.”
According to the mag, mom Lynne Spears and brother Bryan Spears “aren’t willing to co-sign this self-destructive path she’s on,” and she supposedly only surrounds herself with people who are:
“She’s just surrounding herself with people who are willing to support and even help her do whatever she wants. Of course they aren’t trying to stop her.”
If that’s true, we can understand why her family are so worried. As we say over and over again, what people want is for Britney to be happy, safe, and thriving. So to hear she is possibly surrounding herself with people who don’t have her best interests at heart is upsetting. That said, another insider for the outlet is seemingly pushing back on this narrative! They said:
“Britney’s priority is to continue to heal post-rehab and respect the court ruling, which she’s committed to fulfilling 100 percent. She’s taking it one day at a time and doing well for the most part.”
But as we all know, healing doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time. The insider noted Britney still has a long journey ahead of her:
“The reality is she’s still quite fragile.”
And who wouldn’t be after everything that’s gone on? Britney is so much stronger than most people give her credit for. We continue to send Britney love and support. Thoughts, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments (below).
