Britney's Former Bodyguard: I Saw Brit Use Drugs Twice


Britney Spears was seen in tears, texting and crying amid a camera crush at her lawyer’s office, just minutes after finding out that she could go to jail for up to a year for a hit-and-run accident that happened in August.

But that may just be the tip of the Britney legal iceberg. Spears’ ex-bodyguard, Tony Barretto, known as Fat Tony, broke his silence this morning on the “Today” show, claiming he witnessed Spears doing drugs at an LA nightclub restroom.

“I’m not here to destroy Britney,” he said. “I’m here for the kids.”

As for the drug use, Barretto said, “We escorted her to a private restroom upstairs, which we secured for her. She was in there for some time alone. I knocked and peeked in, and I observed this behavior.”

Fat Tony claims this wasn’t the only time. He said he also found Brit in a Los Angeles hotel room.

“She was sweating and shaking, and the room was a mess,” Barretto said, adding that he did see evidence of drug use in the hotel room.

Britney's camp didn't return our request for comment

Barretto said he never felt comfortable confronting Spears, admitting, “It was almost forbidden to talk about her personal life. And you know Britney doesn’t listen to nobody.”

Today, the woman at the center of Britney’s other legal battle, her hit-and-run, is also speaking out.

“I feel sorry for her,” said Kim Robard-Rifkin, whose car Britney smacked not once, but twice. “But enough is enough. You hit my car!”

Kim told celebtv.com that the whole thing could have been avoided if Brit had paid the $3,000 in damages, and now she has this message for Spears:

“Check into rehab. Get a good shrink. You’re not going to be young and beautiful forever.”

I truely feel bad for her and I feel everybody should give her a break. She is no different than us. Everyone has there own ups and downs, apparently this is just 1 of her downs. She is not a godist. She is not perfect but she is a good person and she means good.

I would’nt be in her “shoes” for her “socks”. It just blow’s my mind how that everytime you go to see “whats up” in this world and then to find out that its still “Brittney”. And its a d-m shame that she continue’s to get attention ONLY because of her “drug problem” or her “hit-n-runs”. As much money that girl holds, look like she would hire someone to drive her -ss to where she needs to go. He—, some people might would even do it for free.

No sh—.
Uh, maybe Britney Spears should be called “Blech” Spears, since she’s so freaking disgusting and every time she even moves a muscle, that makes news.
I don’t like her, but I wish the paparazzi would get off her case already; they’re as disgusting as she is!
Does everything concerning Britney Spears have to be breaking entertainment news?!?!?!!
It seems as if her blowing her nose makes news these days, which is stupid.
All Britney all the time sucks fumes.
Stop it already!
Between her and O.J. Simpson it’s little wonder no one gets any work done in the entertainment news biz…….
