Tony Barretto a bodyguard briefly employed by Britney Spears after her stint in rehab filed a declaration with the judge handling her custody case. Based on this information, the judge has ordered Britney to take randomized drug tests and parenting classes to maintain custody of her kids. Tony reveals what he told the judge about Britney’s drug use, parenting and erratic behavior in an exclusive interview with News of the World:

On her overdose with Howie Day:
“On the surface of the dresser, I could see mounds of white powder and a straw on top. I suspected it was cocaine or powdered methamphetamines. By the side I spotted a glass pipe, which I knew from my drugs training was often used with crystal meth.”
The drug has similar effects to amphetamine and ecstasy. Overdosing can cause heart failure.
Tony went on: “I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Britney was completely out of it. We thought she’d overdosed. She was distraught, crying. Her skin was all waxy. She looked so ill. We tried to speak to her. My fellow bodyguard and Alli were so worried they wanted to get hold of a medic to detoxify her. We were panicking. We thought she was going to die.
“There was talk about where to put the detox line it was that serious–through her arm, which would make fans think she’d been injecting, or through her neck.”

On her parenting skills:
He also told how she kept Jayden James and Sean Preston up late so they would sleep through the mornings and not wake her. If they woke early, a member of staff dealt with them.
Tony said: “Britney does love her kids but she is a fickle mum. When the kids are happy, she’s happy. When they’re crying or unwell, she’s not sure what to do. She speaks to them in weird, creepy, baby voices, in made-up languages, which they just don’t get. All it does is unsettle, upset and scare them. Often she would scream and cry uncontrollably. Imagine what that is like for young children.”

On the constant nudity:
“It’s the strangest thing, she likes to expose herself. I think part of it is she likes to embarrass people and make them feel uneasy. Before I even started working for her, I was warned about her stripping. I must have seen her naked dozens of times and each time I’ve been extremely embarrassed. She strips off anywhere–at home, recording studios and clubs. Even at the dance rehearsals, she took all her clothes off in front of me and then bent over, not even to pick anything up. I felt my ears burning and turned my head to the wall.”

If you’ve got some free time, scope out the full story and the myriad of links. It’s pretty much everything you imagined about Britney Spears and so much more. Also there’s a weird subplot about the bodyguards arming themselves when Howie Day is around. I want to say I’m making that up, but seriously, it’s true. I had no idea he was that dangerous. Howie Day seems like the type of guy that would crumble if you stepped on a daisy. Have you heard his music? I’m not saying Howie’s a pansy; I’m just saying I’ve seen premature infants that could kick his ass.

    (Britney in court, on stand)
    Raise your right hand, please.
    (Brit raises her left hand)
    No, your other hand.
    (Brit stares at her hands then tugs at her dress nervously. Finally she raises her right hand after her assistant points it out)
    Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?
    (Brit points at herself)
    Yassum.
    Ms. Spears, what is your explanation for why you failed to obtain a CA license?
    Well, Judge, I keep tellin’ them to buy me some Cracker Jacks so I could gits me a license but they’s allus buying me Cheetos!!!! I stomped my foot down so damn hard I purt near broke ma heal and said gimme Cracker Jacks, not Cheetos!!! I wooda bought my own Cracker Jacks but the pitcher takers allus chasing me around, so I plumb forgot to buy ‘em.
    Young lady, do you understand that that is no excuse for driving without a license?
    Cain’t you git one outta a Cracker Jack box? I’m allus hearing ’bout people bein’ able ta do that.
    Are you on drugs today, Ms Spears?
    Wut? Today? Well, is ma day off. I could git stoned today if ah wanna.
    Ms. Spears, this behavior of yours does not indicate that you are fit to parent.
    Oh, ahm fit to parent, ahm just not fit to parent today. Is ma day off.

    “which I knew from my drugs training”. Yeah, I took that class in college too. Several times a day, for four years. The only class I ever aced.

  6. I try

    leave britney alone!!! shes human!

  7. IWONKY

    (Britney still in court, still on stand)
    Ms. Spears, you are a parent of two, young and impressionable children. What is your explanation for allowing yourself to be photgraphed by paparazzi without your underwear?
    Judge, ah wus drinkin’ a little and ah’s laughing at a joke and ah couldn’t hold it no more. So I had to throw my pannies away. Ah’s jis airing it out. Where you gonna find clean pannies at that time of night?

  8. PC

    Sigh….it physically hurts me to read about her. I feel so sorry for her kids that I want to kidnap them and raise them myself. Kids need stability. When you become a parent, you don’t have the luxury of being unstable and self-indulgent. Her kids seem like the last thing on her mind. She really needs help. A good therapist and a long stint at rehab is vital. Even Britney Spear’s kids deserve a chance at a normal, healthy life. They’re blameless in all of this.

  9. IWONKY

    it would be nice if Britney felt sorry for her kids

  10. lalalala

    THE BRUISE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  11. MissJ

    in response to #102: i live in an area where u would find meth easy, i’ve known people who have done it. (tho when i find out they do, i draw the friendship to a close right there, thats passing the line for me), and it’s not a miracle worker. i’ve seen some heavy people lose wieght , n i’ve seen heavy people who stay heavy.this dumb bitch should just start smoking meth atleast a 30 a day… for 2 months…. THEN u’ll see a skinny brit.

    ok, on a serious not…. what a dumb bitch. I had no idea when i was 12 year old and watching her perform on stage at a fair that she would become THIS. shame on you britney….I don’t care about her, don’t even like her, but god dammit, she wanted kids, she needs to grow the fuck up and be a mom. Buit she can’t, she is mentaly ill and seriously needs treatment.

  12. Esther

    Leave the girl alone!!!!!!!
    I’m not even a fan of Britney but this is just a way of killing her!!!!

  13. jetta

    Well I just hope no one has to go through that I know pep with kids and fighting is a bitch..
    social services is terriable ..
    :(
    Hope everything just works for kids sake

  14. Where are her parents? Did anyone miss the point of the story being that she’s going to now be charged with a hit and run? That should pretty much pack it in for her as far as custody is concerned.

    Seriously, someone close to her needs to get her out of the limelight and get her life back on track. This is past ridiculous, it’s just down right sad.

  15. Milandir

    Many folks might consider it a perk if a female employer got naked all the time. He should have gotten a blow job.

  16. Keefer

    the 2 snot rag boys don’t want her talking to them or hugging them. she reeks of disgusting odors. someone run her over and giggle like she would do.

  17. Tammy

    can’t she OD?? what is so hard about it? she needs to do everyone that favor.

  18. TALIA

    KFED better pay someone to poison her…. soon. comeon kfed you can do it…..

  19. Shania

    the pig is really overdoing her 15 minutes of piddome. let’s get her skewered and throw her in the swamplands of louisiana.

  20. William

    the smelliest whore in hollywood is not trying to be the biggest STD carrier. the prize is won by the fugly zitted clown ass pig.

  21. Timothy

    no she is a CLOWN ASS…. the wigs are made up of her smelly crotch.

  22. Chester

    Right now in hell, Satan checks his PDA – “Oh. Right. Spears contract. I thought that was coming up soon.”

  23. Britney Spears is a knock out, and she’s sold more albums than your sorry ass, so why don’t you shut the fuck up about how successful she is. I have nothing more to say about this because I don’t really care, however I will add that I think she sounds like Mike Patton.
    And uh, give her back her kids or something… okay someone?

  24. Marvin Gardins

    She clearly needs non-professional help from a small town middle aged housewife with no life.
    Or maybe from a tall southern rat catcher who dresses in Barney suits in the evenings. Or maybe she needs 5 packs of bacon and a jar full of snake brains sitting on a crumpled up shoe.
