Britney: "I Was Like a Bad Kid With ADD"

Britney Spears took to her website again today to reach out to her fans -- and to take veiled shots at her former manager, Larry Rudolph.

The post tried to explain some of what has been going on lately with Ms. Spears, including rehab, saying, "Recently, I was sent to a very humbling place called rehab. I truly hit rock bottom. Till this day I don't think that it was alcohol or depression. I was like a bad kid running around with ADD." No argument there.

Spears says in the letter that she doesn't want to "place blame on anyone," but then she does, saying at one point, "I had a manager from a long time ago come in and try to direct me and my life after I got my divorce." She also went on to say, "I feel like some of the people in my life made more of some issues than was necessary. I also feel like they knew I was beginning to use my brain for a change and cut some ties, so they wanted to be in more control of my life than me."

That's all well and good, but can she explain the 15-minute lip-sync mini-tour?

2. If she's so concerned about her kids, why is she never with them? She should go back to her trailer park.

4. YOU PEOPLE ARE MORONS. One day, you're beating her to death, the next day she releases her side, you love her to death. This girl has never been articulate nor relenting. She is uneducated at best, and doesn't have the capacity to write this self-reflecting letter, unless of course, her PUBLICIST OR SOMEONE SHE PAID WROTE IT FOR HER. As usual, she is an attention seeking whore wanting the world to feel sorry for her. She is laying the blame on media and her divorce for her alcoholism and coked up partying ways. Britney, just go back to rehab so we wouldn't need to hear about you. Your career is done. Please ask Bahrain to take you like they did to Michael Jackson.

5. Britney needs to get a grip and GROW UP. She has NO ONE TO BLAME FOR HER BEHAVIOR, BUT HERSELF. She needs to stop pointing her finger at folks and point it at herself. If she can't see that she had a HUGE PROBLEM (s):

1. Partying all night
2. Showing off her privates
3. Having to be escorted out of clubs in the wee hours of the morning
4. Shaving her head
5. Stopping at gas stations every 10 minutes, and walking in them barefooted
6. Flying coach from Miami to LA
7. Cannot sit on a plane without leather seats
8. With all the money she has, cannot find a top notch stylist to do her hair

...then she needs to go BACK TO REHAB and stay there until she grows up and take some responisibility for her actions. Here she is, a very rich girl, with a beautiful family, 2 beautiful kids and she is complaining and can't get it together. There are people her age, poor as can be, and not even close to acting as foolish as she is.

Britney, listen to Simon Cowell, DUMP YOUR FOOLISH FRIENDS WHO ARE TAKING YOU TO CLUBS and go to your family and stay there until your brain is refreshed.

6. Poor thing. She still doesn't get it. She'll get there, eventually. It just takes time. Every experience is a stepping stone to a future of maturity and clear thinking.

7. Wow, do you think she wrote that Quote of the Month herself??

She has the mental capacity of a 12-year-old. It's stunning. Just stunning.

8. A "bad kid running around with ADD"? And this is coming from a "mother"? God forbid her kids have ADD. Way to be understanding, Brit. 12 mins and 23 seconds.....tick, tick...

9. I have a child with AAD Britney and you should know its a learning disability not an excuse to dump your babies and run around getting trashed acting like a slut. Go back to rehab then try some parenting classes.

10. OH shut up britney and go take care of your kids. You nasty ass bitch. Im sick of hearing about her.

11. Britney refuses to believe she has a problem with drugs/alcohol, so she can get back to the party circuit. She didn't hit rock bottom---not even close. Bottom humbles a person, makes them a better person. She has learned nothing. I feel sorry for her children.

12. Britney you're pathetic. You don't even realize half of America is laughing AT YOU NOT with you. You are a JOKE.

Please go home to your two children. No one wants to see you on stage anymore. You're a HAS-BEEN. Your "glory" days are over.

Everyone feels SO SORRY for your two little boys. Please, for the love of those two little angels you have, go home and just worry about being a good mom to them.

Serioulsy, you would have more respect from everyone if you just concentrated on being a good mother to your two little boys.

13. you guys have no idea what it is like to be her, or in her shoes. Give the girl a chance, and some credit. I think she is wonderful, and she is doing the right thing....owning what she did wrong !!!!
You don`t know how it feels, until you have been there....so don`t cast the stone !

14. Exactly what I have been saying from day one! Divorce is a Bitch and if you truely LOVED that person and "thought" they loved you then it is even harder on you!!! Sometimes we have to go out and go crazy to get it out of our systems.......

15. You people have to be the most vicious, hateful,moronic human beings. One day you bash her, the next day you love her. Make up you own uneducated minds. She is in the public eye and feels it is necessary to post on her blog just like every other celebrity does. She was naive and was probably used by alot of people including her own family. She is correct, she never was seen out prior to her divorce. She spent her entire childhood and teenage years performing and traveling. She never experienced what it was like to have a close friend who did not want something from her. She has come a long way since rehab. She is at least trying. Instead of giving her the benefit of doubt, you angry bitter people, just can't wait for her to screw up so you can spend your day posting hate filled comments about her. If she never did another thing in her life, she still has obtained more fame, success and money than you ever will. So blast away you bunch of uneducated ,unemployed losers!!!
