Why Britney Lost Custody

Posted Oct 1st 2007 8:09PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ knows exactly why Britney lost custody -- she ignored the Commissioner at every turn.

Rewind to last month. L.A. County Commissioner Scott Gordon ordered Spears to do a number of things in order to maintain 50/50 custody.

Spears was ordered to meet with a drug counselor -- she didn't do it.

Spears was ordered to submit to drug testing -- she didn't do it.

Spears was ordered to enroll in parenting classes -- didn't do it.

Spears was also required to sign the judge's order -- again, she didn't.

And last Friday, Commissioner Gordon prohibited both Spears and K-Fed from driving the children unless they had a valid California driver's license. Gordon was pissed today when TMZ posted video of Spears cavalierly driving her kids around Malibu.

In short, Spears did everything wrong ... by doing nothing.

11. you should be so freaking proud of yourself TMZ. Your help got the kids from the hands of one wreck to the hands of another wreck. Maybe we'll see how much you really care about those kids when you start stalking Fed-Ex the way you stalked Brittney. I'm sure you sleep well.

Can't wait to see how much he extorts in the name of child support.

12. Thanks for always posting things right on the money. Sad thing is it seems as if brit thinks because of who she is, she is above the law. I hope and pray she gets the help she desperately needs and thank God those boys will be out of the eyes of the paps for now. They need some normalcy in their lives.

13. I think it was her plan all along, she's probably wondering what took them so long to take them away. If she wanted them she would have done everything in her power to keep them but she didn't do one thing she was supposed to. She should never be allowed to ever have another child. Who EVER would have thought Kevin would be the better parent????? Shame on you Brit!

14. I don't get it? It's almost like she is sabotaging on purpose? Most normal people who go above and beyond what is required to hang onto your children. I don' t have kids, but I am really shocked she would just totally blow it-
