Celebrity Justice
Brit's Parents Tried to Commit Her

TMZ has learned Britney's parents -- especially her dad -- have been earnestly trying for months to get her committed into a mental hospital for a bipolar disorder.

We know Jamie Spears in particular has felt since last summer that Brit was suffering from a mental disease and not substance abuse. Jamie was looking for a way to push his daughter into a facility but she refused. Indeed, we're told she refused and continues to refuse to undergo a battery of tests that would officially diagnose the bipolar disorder.

We're told both Jamie and Lynne Spears believe Sam Lutfi, the guy who was inseparable from Brit until last week, was a prime reason she was refusing treatment. They are so mad at Lutfi they threw him out of Cedars last week.

151. I hope she goes crazy and stabs Kevin a couple of times!

152. I don't know if it would help but why not try leaving her alone for a few weeks....ALL photographers, stay the hell away, have no one follow her around and if she's not getting the publicity, she may just realize she's no longer the "entity" of the day. I think much of what she is doing is for attention that she neglected to get as a child, much of it is anger, much of it is hurt, but SHE is the only one now who can help herself and I hope for her sake and the sake of her children she does so. In the meantime, LEAVE HER ALONE ALL, my bet is it WILL work and what could be a more simple solution?

153. To No. 145:

Kevin is not Britney's worst enemy. Britney's worst enemy is Britney.

154. What gets me is that everyone says she is Bipolar and she has NOT been diagnoised with it.

Either she has a mental issue, she is on something that makes her act like this OR she is just acting.
My brother has had to deal with a couple of prisoners who claimed mental issues as why they did what they did.
One woman killed her baby but she got good lawyers and then ONLY in court would she act a certain way.

She was found not guilty by reason of insanity.
She was to be sent to a mental ward.

You know what she is doing now?

Only a few years after murdering her baby she is in college going for child psychology.

So many people claim a mental disorder to get away with *murder* what they want.
So, until Britney is ACTUALLY diagnoised with a mental condition no one knows for sure.

AND if this is the case then she should have NO contact with her children because if she can't control her actions then she is a danger to them until they find out what is wrong with her.

158. LET'S NOT BE SO QUICK TO JUDGE, HAVING AN ADULT CHILD WITH A MENTAL DISORDER IS A LONG AND LONELY BATTLE. PEOPLE ARE QUICK TO YELL "WHERE ARE THE PARENTS?" I CAN TELL YOU FROM EXPERIENCE THEY ARE USUALLY RIGHT THERE FIGHTING FOR HELP. NOT AN EASY SITUATION. I WOULD RECOMMEND BAKER ACTING HER ASAP, NOT AS A LAST RESORT, TOO OFTEN THE LAST RESORT IS THE MORGUE OR PRISON.
ALSO TO ME ANY MEDIA PERSONALITIES AT THIS TIME MAKING FUN OF HER MIGHT AS WELL BE MAKING FUN OF SOMEONE WITH CANCER OR DIABETES. MENTAL ILLNESS IS JUST THAT, AN ILLNESS. LET'S ALL TRY TO SHOW SOME COMPASSION AND BE THANKFUL THE KIDS ARE SAFE.

159. I noticed a couple of people said "Baker Act." I'm just curious but are you from Florida?

160. #154 YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT KIND OF DISORDER SHE HAS. HAVE YOU EXAMINED HER PRIVATELY. ARE YOU A DR. I KNOW EVERYONE WANT'S TO DIAGNOSE HER BECAUSE WE WANT TO HELP IN SOME WAY. MY SISTER AND MOTHER IN LAW BOTH HAVE BI-POLAR AND IT DOES MAKE YOU ACT OUT, HOWEVER I AM NOT DIAGONOSING HER AND THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN DO THAT IS A DR. IF YOU ADD THE FACT WE ALL KNOW SHE HAS VERY SERIOUS ISSUES, WITH THE PAPARAZZI ONLY ADDING TO HER STRESS, THAT'S BOUND TO PUT ANYONE OVER THE EDGE. I LEARNED THROUGH PRINCESS DIANA'S DEATH ALTHOUGH (MYSTERIOUS IN SOME WAY'S) THERE WAS NO QUESTION THE PAPARAZZI HUNTED HER CONSTANTLY. A STAR NOWADAY'S SHOULD BE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE SPOTLIGHT, YES BUT HARRASSMENT THAT CAUSES HARM AND DEATH SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED. WHY DO PEOPLE NOT LOOK AT WHAT THEY ARE DOING AS A CRIME. A CELEBRITY SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE STALKED AND HUNTED LIKE AN ANIMAL. PRINCESS DIANA WAS AN OUTSTANDING HUMAN BEING TO ME AND SHE SO POLITELY ASKED THE PAPARAZZI TO PLEASE LET HER HAVE SOME PRIVACY. IN HER LAST MOMENT'S ALL SHE KNEW WAS SHE WAS BEING FOLLOWED WITH CAMERA'S IN HER FACE, UNTIL HER DEATH. ALL THEY WANTED WAS HER PICTURE. I THINK THEY WOULD DO THE SAME THING IN BRIT'S CASE AND SHE DOESN'T DESERVE THAT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIKE HER, BUT IF EVERYONE WOULD AGREE IT'S TOO MUCH, AS CURIOUS AS EVERYONE IS, IT'S ENOUGH. K-FED I HAVE TO PUT THIS IN HERE IS A GOLDDIGGER, I MEAN HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING AND HE'S WINNING. BRITNEY DOES NEED HELP AND I THINK SHE KNOW'S THAT, BUT WHEN YOUR IN THE DARK IT'S HARD. I DO HOWEVER BELEIVE IN THE SAME BREATH FOR HER KID'S SHE WOULD WANT TO DO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING SHE CAN. ALL I'VE SEEN IN PAST YEAR'S FROM HER IS A SWEET PERSON AND SHE HOPEFULLY WILL GET THE HELP SHE NEED'S. CAN WE ALL AGREE IF NOTHING ELSE THAT THE PAPARAZZI ARE TO MUCH ALREADY AND THEIR NEED'S TO BE A LAW PASSED. I MEAN WHAT IF IT WAS SOMEBODY YOU LOVED. THEY NEVER SOLD THEIR SOUL TO THE DEVIL THEY JUST WANTED TO ENTERTAIN AND IN PRINCESS DIANA'S CASE WANTED TO DO KINDNESS FOR OTHER'S. PEACE

161. So now that Brit's Parents and Wanna Be Dr. Phil have gotten caught trying to make money off of Brit again they are all pointing the finger at each other. Truth be told those Kids, Britany, jamie and her brother should have been taken away from the parents years ago and put in a stable home and raised with some normal values. Not raised as meal tickets.

162. I'm not qualified to diagnose anyone. However, most of us here are speaking from life experience - either our own or a family member's. I was always super responsible and 'together.' 2007 was a rough year for me. I had a friend commit suicide and my father passed away shortly thereafter. I felt lost, lonely and a deep pain that I had never experienced. I'm late 30s, and suddenly felt I didn't know myself, wasn't in control of emotions and really in a lot of pain. I think we all have different thresholds. I was able to tamp down my emotions and hide my feeling for years. I couldn't do it any longer at what I endured last year. I'm now trying to grow as a person and find peace for myself. Maybe Britney marrying and having children so soon afterward (and having 2 children so close together) and not working for the first time since she was a child was her threshold. Maybe she just needs help getting back on course, and realizing that her life is now on a different path. It is not longer sex symbol (although she is still very pretty), bread winner (she's made her money). It is establishing relationships - real and genuine relationships based on respect, support and genuine love. I'm just now realizing that myself. Too bad it often takes death of someone close to us for us to really re-evaluate. I hope she finds that course, so she can get her life back and (maybe for the first time ever) build relationships where someone loves her for being a human being, not a sex symbol, celebrity or meal ticket.

163. I think Britnery's parents need to commit themselves to a mental institution. They can take her pregnant sis with them. Britney can visit them unannounced!!! Britney can send Dr. Phil to them!!!

164. fFIRST SIGN OF ADDICTION IS DENIAL !!!!! ANY SERIOUS FAMILY /FAMILY MEMBER KNOWS ALL IT TAKES IS 3 FAMILY MEMBERS /3 CRITERIAS TO HAVE A PERSON INVOLUNTARILY COMMITMENT TO A TREATMENT CENTER.. O MAYBE THEY HAVE FOR GOTTEN THAT WITH ALL THE $$$$ SIGN'S IN THEIR EYES. IT'S SO SAD TO SEE ANYONE WITHOUT SOMEONE WHO TRULY CARES FOR THEIR WELL BEING. IF EVERYONE AROUND BRITNEY WOULD STOP & THINK ; THAT COULD BE ME , MY SISTER , MY MOM, MY FRIEND, MY AUNT MY CHILD ..! MY PRAYERS ARE FOR THOSE THAT ARE SUFFERING ( HER BABY BOY'S) & WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO, IF THIS FAMILY ALLOWS BRITNEY TO MAKE BAD CHOICES , TAKE NO RESPONSIBLITY FOR HER ACTIONS !! TRULY A SAD SAD SITUATION! I'M & MANY OTHERS THAT DO BATTLE WITH A DISEASE THAT HAS NO KNOWN CURE, ARE TRULY BLESSED TO BE GIVEN A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE~ PeaceLove&Harmony~Ce

165. Way to go Spears family, continue to support and encourage your daughter. We NEED our parents, no matter how old we are.
