Parents Believe Brit’s Life Is At Risk
The parents of Britney Spears have said they fear the singer could end up dead after her early release from a psychiatric unit.
Spears had been admitted to hospital for treatment for mental illness but was released 11 days ahead of schedule on a lawyer’s orders.
The singer was released after a court-appointed lawyer overruled Los Angeles hospital staff and ruled there was “no just cause” to keep her.Her father Jamie and mother Lynne said: “We are concerned about our daughter’s safety and vulnerability and believe her life is at risk.”
They went on to describe Britney as “an adult child in the throes of a mental health crisis”.
Britney immediately fled the hospital among a sea of paparazzi and headed straight to her lawyer’s office in a bid to wrest control of her estate from her father, who took control of her assets after she was admitted.
The singer’s relationship with her parents is now at an all time low with her mother Lynne battling the singer’s on-off manager, Sam Lufti.
She accuses Lutfi of several things, including moving into Britney’s home, trying to take control of her finances and getting the paparazzi to report to him.
Lutfi has now been issued with a restraining order which bans him from coming within 250 yards of the troubled star, her LA home, her family members or the hospital she is staying in since being admitted for psychiatric evaluation.
The 26-year-old chart-topping singer has seen her personal life descend into turmoil since her divorce from Kevin Federline in 2006.
She was hospitalised in early January for a mental evaluation after a row involving the custody of her children.
She was discharged after a brief period and then went back last week for another psychiatric evaluation.
