Tony Barretto, the former bodyguard who testified against Britney Spears in her custody dispute, gave an interview to News of the World, in which he claimed Britney had mental problems and took drugs while her two sons were with her.

“Britney does love her kids but she is a fickle mom. When the kids are happy, she’s happy. When they’re crying or unwell, she’s not sure what to do.

“She speaks to them in weird, creepy, baby voices, in made-up languages, which they just don’t get. All it does is unsettle, upset and scare them. Often she would scream and cry uncontrollably. Imagine what that is like for young children.”

Tony said he never saw her feed the boys. He added: “When they are unwell, her answer is: ‘Give the baby a bottle of medicine.’ I’ve never seen her deal with them like a full, attentive mum.”

“She can’t cope with being a mother, as she has such a low boredom threshold. With her drug and booze issues, her home is no place for children to be raised.

Tony also alleged Britney overdosed at the Mondrian Hotel with former boyfriend Howie Day, just a few days after getting out of rehab.

Tony is a drugs expert after taking a ten-week police course about their dangers. He realised Britney’s willpower had not lasted—on the frightening night of May 2 in Los Angeles, just hours before the start of her comeback tour in Anaheim.

She went on a date with musician Day, 26—who she’d met in rehab—telling her worried protection team she didn’t need them. Tony said: “We did security checks on Howie and told her he was trouble. But she ignored us.”

Hours later hysterical Britney, 25, called aides, claiming Day was refusing to let her leave their hotel room. Tony recalled: “She said she wanted to cancel the tour. She was very confused. We asked her if she was OK and reminded her she had a show to do. Then Howie came on the phone and started arguing with us. We knew we had to get to her fast.” 

Tony raced to LA’s plush Mondrian Hotel with another bodyguard and Britney’s best friend and PA Alli Sims. When they got to their room they found the door open and an appalling scene inside.

“We could see Britney all red-eyed from crying. Howie was lying in his boxers asleep on the bed. The hotel room was trashed.

“There were half-eaten plates of food everywhere. There were blankets all over the floor, clothes strewn everywhere. The trash was emptied everywhere over the floor.

“The entire place was littered with empty beer bottles and liquor bottles, small glasses of ice and cigarette butts everywhere.

“On the surface of the dresser, I could see mounds of white powder and a straw on top. I suspected it was cocaine or powdered methamphetamines.

“By the side I spotted a glass pipe, which I knew from my drugs training was often used with crystal meth.”

“I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Britney was completely out of it. We thought she’d overdosed. She was distraught, crying. Her skin was all waxy. She looked so ill. We tried to speak to her. My fellow bodyguard and Alli were so worried they wanted to get hold of a medic to detoxify her. We were panicking. We thought she was going to die.”

In other Britters news, homegirl never got herself a California drivers license.

“According to the DMV, Ms. Spears was never issued a California license – ever,” City Attorney’s spokesman Frank Mateljan said.

Maybe it’s time to put down the Redbull and head to the DMV?
