![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
Team Britney Spears has reached a financial settlement with the paparazzo who accused the pop star of intentionally driving over his foot with her Mercedes back in 2007.
Rick Mendoza, who was working for TMZ at the time, had argued that Brit's people "should have known ... Britney was not in the mental, emotional and/or physical condition to operate the subject motor vehicle in a safe and reasonable manner."
The terms of the settlement were not released -- but Mendoza had originally demanded more than $200,000 in damages.

Didn't your mama ever tell you not to stand close to a moving vehicle, especially with a crazy person behind the wheel?
YOU are the one who "should have known ... Britney was not in the mental, emotional and/or physical condition to operate the subject motor vehicle in a safe and reasonable manner," since YOU saw her more than her people did.
$200 grand for a swollen foot?! Well, I guess you got the funds for that implant now...viagra stock will drop considerably.

Britney is turning into a weirdo person. Running over this guy was not a bright thing to do. I hope she gets her head together.
