Britney's uncle William Spears says she is. The elder Spears told Britain's The Sun newspaper that Brit went "buck-wild" when she turned 18 and for her birthday, she decided to snort some cocaine.
“She has tried just about everything - cocaine, crystal meth, ecstasy."
“I’m not just a family friend or someone who claims to know them. I was there every day, working with them. I have seen all the terrible things happen.”
Uncle William lives in a camper van near Kentwood, Louisiana, Britney's hometown. He says he saw Brit gettin' her drink on at a party for TV's Mickey Mouse Club.
“The kids were definitely drinking that night. While the adults talked, they were somewhere else, up to no good," he told The Sun.
“They had a bottle of gin and slipped away to the bathroom to drink it. I saw them going.”
He also claims that Britney started smoking marijuana at 14 and "it got worse when she got famous and she found out that people would do what she wanted them to".
“She is a ruthless little thing, make no mistake. Nobody controls her. She bosses everyone around her." I can totally see that!
William, is no stranger to drugs - he's fought his own addictions and says he's even taken drugs with his niece.
“I know she did cocaine on her 18th birthday - I was there," he said.
“We were at a party in an apartment and I spotted her doing a line just before I did one. We smoked pot together too.”
“The drugs and the alcohol helped her cope with the pressure - helped her to escape from reality.
“We thought maybe getting married and having kids would help her settle down but it was quite the opposite.”
“Britney is in an unstable state of mind now and there is nothing anyone can do about it. He continues, "She is not listening to anybody."
“She has fired all the people around her who cared because she simply doesn’t want people to tell her to stop doing the things she is doing.
“If people think she has reached the bottom, they are very wrong. Suicide is the bottom line for Britney.”
That's pretty powerful stuff if it's true. Even if only part of it's true, it's scary. Brit needs to get herself some help!
