Acquaintances are coming out in droves claiming they’ve witnessed Britney Spears’ drug use. For the first time, people who know Britney are speaking on the record about her drug use from as far back as 2003. “When I was around her, she took Ecstasy,” Amanda Alexander, the sister of Britney’s first husband, Jason, tells In Touch Weekly. Amanda, 21, says she also witnessed the singer using cocaine in their hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana.Another hometown friend, Kent Smith, who’s known Britney for “at least 10 years,” says he partied with her three years ago at Club 360 in New Orleans. “She does like to party,” Kent tells “I’ve been there when she’s done Ecstasy and cocaine.”
Toward the end of her marriage to Kevin Federline, a major stoner, Britney returned to using hardcore drugs. According to a pal, the couple got into a huge fight on the night of his CD release party last Halloween. “Kevin was mad because he knew she was high on coke,” a source told.
“The divorce really threw her into a deep depression,” says a friend. “She felt like a failure and wanted to show everyone how desirable she still is.”
In addition to the cocaine and ecstasy, Spears was also drinking heavily and taking lots of prescription pills, like Paxil (an antidepressant) and Xanax (for anxiety). Unfortunately, the partying overtook the parenting. “So many people love Britney,” an insider says. “They’re all in crisis mode.” Her mom has resorted to tough love, even taking away her credit cards while her dad, Jamie, a recovering alcoholic, is also “trying to get her on track,” says a pal. And we wondered why people don’t want anything to do with her after a while. We weren’t sure if rehab was for drugs or alcohol…maybe all of the above. SOURCE
Rumors are also circulating around that Britney was terrified she'd lose custody of her sons, an out-of-control Britney Spears tried to kill herself Twice in the hours after shaving her head, The Enquirer has learned exclusively from sources.
Hours after creating a media frenzy by shaving her head, sources say the troubled star tried to take her own life by walking into traffic, only to be rescued at the last second by her staff.
But that wasn't the end of Britney's self-destructive impulses. A short time later she was rushed to a doctor after saying she was going to kill herself and then taking too many Xanax, say the sources.
Britney's emotional collapse was triggered by a "reconciliation" with estranged husband Kevin Federline — that was actually meant to be an intervention. Source
