Celebrity Justice
Why Brit Locked Herself in the Bathroom

TMZ has learned what triggered the drama last Thursday night that ended with Britney being strapped to a stretcher and carted off in an ambulance.Britney Spears

Unimpeachable sources tell TMZ Brit pitched a fit that she had to attend a deposition in the custody case earlier in the day and she wanted "make-up" time with the kids that evening. Britney had visitation rights with the kids that day. She was supposed to surrender them to K-Daddy at 7:00 PM, but wanted two extra hours. K-Fed and his lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, wouldn't allow it, so she locked herself in the house -- thus the stand-off.

Here are the probs with Brit's theory. First, the reason her depo was set for last Thursday was because she failed to show the day before. Second, Thursday's depo was supposed to begin at 9:45 AM and go until 11:45 AM. She didn't show until 11:32, so the depo lasted less than 15 minutes. We've learned she only had visitation rights that day between noon and 7 PM. The depo ended at 11:45 and her house was only 15 minutes away. So she really didn't lose any time with the kids.

Bottom line -- Brit was legally off base.

406. Has her ex stopped to think maybe if he backed off a bit Brit would not feel so threatened about the whole situation, I feel he is causing more stress on her everytime something goes on the call police or rush into court and really how many of us would get into court that fast .... why the special treatment ... it would take months for a normal person to get a hearing?
Brit I used to live in LA Area I am in Canada NOW .... there are laws here that would protect you better, Check out Canadian laws amybe a move would do you good.

407. Oh, nevermind Spur-jerk, I just read back a few pages and you call everybody idiots and retards. That explains ALOT. LOL, it really loses its punch when you say all the time to everybody. You might want to actually mature before posting again.

409. Why would anyone feel bad for britney over K-Fed???
Thank goodness for him or it would be even worse for her kids.

I'm starting to think all this craziness is her putting up the world's biggest publicity stunt.

410. Poor, poor Brit! She's a fully grown, suposedly mature woman who can't use her own brains and judgement to make a good decision. She must blame everyone from Mama Spears, Kevin, Kaplan, her attorneys, paparazzi, publicists, her fans etc. and now Dr.Phil for her own personal destructive behavior. What is a coward and a copout? The answer is Britney Spears!

411. I have to say the title "Mother" is earned just because you give birth this does not make you a mother nor does this give you any rights. If you or anyone else is not able to act like or care for your children like a mother then your rights should be stripped and that includes Britney Spears. Kevin Federline made tons of mistakes in the beginning as many first time parents make but he has grown up and is now earned the right to be called a father and is acting like one and deserves the credit. If anyone does not believe britney tried to pay him off by this point your stupid.. and look who still has the kids there father who has done nothing but protect them.

412. I think Britney is so far gone now that she needs to have a restraining order on her. It is hard to be in her shoes, but she had many many chances to get herself out of her downward spiral. Its crazy to look back and see how much she really fell from being the best to being nothing at all.

413. That is a lie we do see what she does, and in most cases practicly live with her 24/7 because she chooses to flash her life and everything she does infront of everyone.. She brings alot of this mess onto herself, she choose to make all of her moves public. If she led her life at home with her children like a parent, not at starbucks running to motel to motel and driving purely for attention then you get what you ask for... There are alot of celebs who are out and about who use common sense and do not give the tabloids something to write about. Britney is responsible for her actions and untill people like you who keep giving her excuses she will continue to fall.

414. wow. britney is just getting worse. why can't she realize that her locking herself into her house is the whole reason she got her kids taken away from her? at this point, k-fed may be a freeloading loser, but he's the kid's best bet right now as a parent. she needs to just step aside and let k-fed take care of the kids while she gets better.

415. I feel bad for britney but she has brought this upon herself she should start thinking like a mother, like a grown up that she is. I'm sure she really loves her kids she should start showing that with some better actions not keep acting all crazy. YOU HAVE TO CHANGE BRIT OF U WANT YOUR KIDS BACK.

416. I personally think that all the people who are "pro-Britney" and feel she should be left alone are just as crazy as she is. I don't care who you are, famous or not, it is still possible to act like a "normal" law abiding person. SHE wanted to be famous, and thus should have known her personal life would be plastered all over the world. Why act now as if this is all a surprise to her or any one else, that people are talking about her. She knows how her behavior has been less than motherly and yet she thinks people and the law should cut her slack. My mother went through a MUCH MUCH worse divorce and on top of it is manic depressive and yet some how she managed to keep it together for me and my brothers. There IS NO EXCUSE for her actions. I really don't give a damn what she has gone through there are people who have been through worse and were able to keep them selves together FOR THEIR KIDS!!! If she cared about then at all she would sacrifice every bit of "fun" she could have to be with them. And do EVERYTHING the courts ask.

417. i think that this girl need that time with those kids, this is the only thing that is keeping her going, and we as human is not helping by say bad things about her, that looser of a ex-husban could of give her that time, by the way where are is other kids why is he not jumping to the chance to get those ones. she make her mistakes the bottom line is she needed that time. and we all need to see that

419. I'm a mom dealing with visitation issues with my ex as well. As much as I hate sending my child with my ex, I have to. That doesn't mean that I have to let him have extra time with her... I merely have to do as the papers say. He's a douche and a deadbeat and the only reason he wants time is to get back at me for leaving. Britney seems to be off base completely when it comes to these kids. They should not be in her company while she's acting so erratically. Whether it's drugs or mental problems her behavior is effecting her kids. K-Fed is doing her a favor by letting her see these kids. He could have had custody taken from her a LONG time ago and didn't. Say what you will about the loser, but he's at least doing his best for the kids. Also all of you seem to forget that both parents have to undergo drug and alcohol tests... apparently K-Fed passed his because he's not in the news. He doesn't have to pay the paps to make Britney look bad, she's doing that well enough on her own. She needs to wake up to reality and get the help she needs if she ever hopes to see her kids again.
