Celebrity snitches at The National Enquirer dish that Britney Spears’ recent downward spiral can be attribuited to a violent sexual attack in February.

Despite months of hard partying and substance abuse that ultimately landed her in rehab, The Enquirer has learned that Britney’s downward decline accelerated in mid-February when she was attacked in Miami by someone she knew who wanted to have sex with her.

Although her rep denies this incident took place, sources say she hasn’t been the same since.

Just three days after the assault, Britney… [shaved] her head.

She’s currently in the process of trying to negotiate an end to her contract with Rudolph – which she only recently signed. And sources say that Britney will also cut off some of her family members financially, including her father Jamie, who has recently gone public with criticism of her conduct…
“Kevin feels like he’s been watching someone with a split personality,” said the source.

“Kevin said he feels like he is talking to different people when he speaks to her.

“One minute Britney is fine, and the next she is blowing up at him and the rest of the world. She’ll tell Kevin she is moving out of L.A. and quitting the business, and then in the next sentence say she is going on tour soon, so he better get his act together so he will be able to keep the kids full time.”
