Mystery Witness Alleges Drug Use by Britney

Tony Barretto, a former bodyguard for Britney Spears, filed a declaration in the Britney Spears/Kevin Federline custody battle which alleges "nudity, drug use and safety issues post-rehab."


Gloria Allred, Barretto's attorney, said in a press conference today that Brit's former hired muscle was prepared to testify under oath today, but that neither the court nor Britney's attorneys chose to cross-examine him. She said his declaration went "unrefuted and unchallenged."

Should Britney lose her kids?

Yes
No
Barretto started working for Britney when she got out of rehab, and was fired on May 17 because, said Allred, "He did not hear her when he was asked to pick up her hat."

Barretto, himself the father of young children, came forward, Allred says, because while working for Britney, he became "very concerned" about the safety of her two boys. Allred also said that she has spoken to County Counsel for Child Protective Services about Barretto's concerns.

10. "but that neither the court nor Britney's attorneys chose to cross-examine him"--

if that is the case, why doesn't she just come out and say that the Judge is not accepting his statement?!?! it went unrefuted and unchallenged, b/c the Judge is not allowing it, and there is no need to cross-examine or object to it... what a douchbag

12. All that money, and she is going to jack around and lose those kids.

Unbelievable.

I don't suppose she's ever thought of hiring a stable, well qualified nanny to care for them since she's not doing a bang up job.
