Britney's Ex-Bodyguard Goes Public

Britney Spears' former bodyguard Tony Barretto has given his story to the News of the World claiming that the troubled star nearly suffered a drug overdose just days after being released from the Promises Treatment Center last spring.

"She has mental problems, and they are not helped by her taking drugs and alcohol," Barretto says.

Barretto filed a declaration detailing Spears' alleged drug and alcohol use in the child custody case between Spears and her ex-husband Kevin Federline.

In his interview with News of the World, Barretto says that Britney nearly had a drug overdose in a hotel room with singer Howie Day just days after leaving Promises Treatment Center last March.

"She was in a terrible state, just sweating and shaking. Her pupils were huge— we thought she was dying," claims Barretto.

Barretto claims that is out of concern for Spears' two boys, Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, and not 15-minutes-of-fame that has driven him to come forward at this time.

"Her children need attention, and Britney doesn't appear to be willing to give them that at the moment," he says. "She can't cope with being a mother, as she has such a low boredom threshold."
