It seems that Briney’s inner circle of friends are just as much concerned about her and her crazy behavior as we are. They have decided to open up to ‘Blender’ and the public and to share with us what they think happened to the once beloved and admired pop princess.

According to some closest to Brit, they think that the madness started after the big break-up in 2002 from her MMC costar, pop singer, Justin Timberlake. “Ever since then, she’s been mad at the world,” a friend says.

But others are placing the blame on her divorced parents Jamie and Lynne, who apparently did not teach her the necessary tools to lead her own life.

Britney never learned the basic skills in life, like how to manage a check book, says one of her former managers. “She was the bread winner in her family. And when you know everyone’s living off you, you learn not to trust,” the former manager adds.

According to one of her advertisers at the time, he pinpointed when Britney partook in the reality show Chaotic, as the moment she feel apart. Britney’s intention was to show the world what she was really like, to show how hard she had fallen for this Kevin Federline guy. Unfortunately it “destroyed the image that we had worked so hard to carefully create. She thought that if she showed the world everything, everyone would love her for it. What it did instead was make her look like white trash.”

How is Britney doing now?

Barbara Walters on The View shared during the show that Sam Lufti contacted her and said that Britney is receiving help.

“He said that she has been to a psychiatrist and … I assume she is starting some kind of treatment. She has been having mood swings. She has been having some kind of trouble sleeping.”
