Today’s theme is…daddies and daughters. Britney apparently is angry at the people who love her the most and therefore pushed her into rehab, namely her former manager Larry Rudolph and her dad, Jamie Spears. We reported recently that Britney and Rudolph were having problems post-rehab and since then she has actually fired him. Most everyone thought that this was a bad idea because he’s been such a positive force in her life. Today the New York Post published an email from Jamie Spears in which he defends Rudolph in all of this.
When Larry Rudolph talked Britney into going into rehab, he was doing what her mother, father and team of professionals with over 100 years of experience knew needed to be done. She was out of control. Larry was the one chosen by the team to roll up his sleeves and deliver the message, to help save her life.
The Spears family would like to publicly apologize to Larry for our daughter’s statements about him over the past few weeks. Unfortunately, she blames him and her family for where she is at today with her kids and career. Larry has always been there for Britney. For this, we will forever be grateful to him.”
Britney’s rep replied with a statement.
I am praying for my father. We have never had a good relationship. It’s sad that all the men that have been in my life do not know how to accept a real woman’s love. I am concentrating on my work and my life right now.”
Then the Post managed to get a couple of other opinions on Britney’s feelings and condition. They found one of her “pals” who attempted to spin everything in such a way that it makes sense (and I think this pal did a good job of it.)
[Britney] had no drugs in her system when she was admitted to Promises - they [tested her] and there was nothing. She was embarrassed she had to go in there when she knew she was suffering from postpartum depression, not a drug or alcohol problem.”
The pal spoke also explained the head-shaving incident.
Britney’s aunt had just died of cancer. She was feeling very guilty because she hadn’t been there with her, she was overwhelmingly depressed and she shaved her head in solidarity.”
And how is Rudolph acting in all of this? Well, the Post found one of his friends to tell you.
Britney obviously has a lot of issues . . . Larry’s trying to lay low and letting her act out, but . . . he doesn’t want to see her wind up like Anna Nicole Smith. He won’t get into a public fight with her - yet. This is about saving her from herself.
Whew, lots of quotes, but they are all so juicy. I agree with Britney’s dad 100% in what he is saying, but why did he feel the need to scream it to the world? Larry Rudolph is a big boy and would have been ok. He had to know that this would set her off and would make her an angry bee. She’s unstable enough as it is. And Britney’s statement about all of the men in her life not being able to “accept a real woman’s love?” That’s just a completely crazy statement. Aren’t reps supposed to make you sound a whole lot better than maybe you are? I wasn’t impressed with the statement Alec Baldwin’s rep put out earlier, and I’m not impressed with this one.
