The Bald Truth: Hospital Releases Britney, OMG!
By Bald Truth Staff, (c) www.artharris.com, all rights reserved
No longer shrink-wrapped, pop star Britney Spears quietly left UCLA Medical Center earlier Wednesday after a week in the pscychiatric ward following her harrowing meltdown, reported the Los Angeles Times.
The paper said sources believed she was headed home before seeking possible treatment for unspecified emotional problems. If a hospital determines she’s no longer a risk to herself or others, it cannot hold her against her will; other reports said she’d begged her father, Jamie, to spring her from the psyche ward.
Jamie, along with another attorney, was granted temporary conservatorship over her estimated $100 million estate after her mother accused her manager of exerting total control over her well-being, cutting her phone lines, hiding cell phone chargers and car keys, even crushing up pills he slipped in her food and drinks.
That was all in Lynne Spears’ sworn statement posted here at The Bald Truth in support of a restraining order against manager and self-styled friend, Sam Lufti, whom she also said had deputized papparazi to keep tabs on Brit if she did slip out of the house. Spear’s Mom said she watched it all in horror, with Lufti said to have warned against firing him, that Brit would die without his constant monitoring and he would “piss on her grave.â€
The TRO, approved Friday, orders Lufti to stay at least 250 yards from the singer,. Her father, according to the LAT, has also filed a grand theft report against him, charging paintings, jewelry and other valuables vanished from her house under his watchful eyes.

And the paps are following her again. What has to happen for them to leave her alone? They’re not helping her and after all these hospital stays shouldn’t they at least have the decency to leave her alone?
I think they want to be there for the ULTIMATE crash, when she drives her car off a cliff, while they film it.

It is wonderful that Britney has parents like Lynne and Jamie. That man Lufti sounds like a nut case. IMO I wish the best for them.

What lays ahead is not pretty for Britney or those who care for her wellbeing.

What a tragedy. She probably will either end up killing herself or even worse someone else in an auatomobile accident and people will say “Oh, how awful. Why wasn’t she stopped” Well her parents are trying, at last, but with little result of a positive nature. If and when that happens, she will at least be locked up where there will be some control of her actions. It is just terrible also that there is no law to curb the actions of those photographers who are adding to all the chaos.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any more bizarre, this Britney saga just gets more twisted and ridiculous. OMG the girl was finally (IMO) getting some help in a seemingly healthy, stable, professional, caring facility and they let her go? Unbelievable UCLA – what were they thinking? I think it’s time for the press to do some true investigative reporting – NOT tabloid reporting. We’ve heard some facts about ‘Sam’ Lutfi so now let’s hear some facts on supposed boyfriend Adnan. What about this supposed new lawyer Streisand? What about the lawyer who overrode the wishes of Britney’s psychiatrist to release her early from UCLA med? What about the court-appointed lawyer who told the judge on Monday that Britney wasn’t fit to understand what was going on and therefore not fit to engage a new attorney? Are these two different lawyers (i.e. the UCLA decision and the report to the judge this past Monday?). And did UCLA release Britney without notifying her conservators? Can they do that? How are all these players connected? Who stands to gain? Follow the money. This story is prime for some very serious investigation.

It is sad that there is not one single person in the world who actually cares about Britney and her welfare. All of those around her, including her parents, are using her as a commodity. If her parents care so darn much now where were they months ago when she was clearly disturbed. Britney obviously has psychiatric problems that need to be medicated and addressed but her mother is and always has been a publicity seeking media w—e. Give me a break. She couldn’t even resist announcing her youngest daughter’s pregnancy on the cover of a national tabloid type of magazine. I guess that the dollar signs were flying around in her head.
Britney needs help. Emergency help. And it is very clear that she is not going to get it. I hope that she has a binding will that leaves her entire fortune in trust for her children with not one cent to her mother.
Mental health care in the United States in a national disaster. If you didn’t know that before you should certainly know it now. The mentally ill live under bridges and in other horrible conditions but unless they are deemed to be a “danger to self or others” their care is nebulous or nonexistent. Britney is no better off than they are – her “under the bridge” is a car that roams aimlessly on the streets of LA.

Harriet:
Britney’s family surely do care for her; however, those closest to her may have been pushed aside. It is not unheard of for people suffering from that illness to deny they have any problem.
If you put youself in someone’s else’s place you can understand how it feels to suddenly be sugject to the most frightening, unspeakable thoughts and visions when not so long ago you were that bright, articulate youngster with a bright future ahead. Suddenly, your life revolves around a world so frightening, where when you need love and affection the most, everyone is treating you like dirt and making fun of you. Where are those friends who copied your answers during that tough test? At the time, the answers to those tests were a piece of cake for you. Why is that someone you had a crush on or who had a crush on you suddenly being so mean and distant? Immerse yourself in that new world and see how pretty is is NOT!
