Britney Spears Overdose; Bodyguard Tony Baretto Sells Story
The former Britney Spears bodyguard who entered damning written testimony citing nudity and frequent drug use by the former Disney star in this week’s Spears/Federline custody battle has sold his story to a British tabloid. In the British interview, Tony ‘Fat Tony’ Baretto claims Britney Spears overdosed in a drug-strewn hotel room during a drug junkie lover Howie Day just days after checking out of Promise Rehab last March. “She was in a terrible state, just sweating and shaking. Her pupils were huge—I’ve never seen her so bad,” said the twenty-seven year old tells British reporters.
Tony claims the pop-tart od’ed on May 2 in Los Angeles, just hours before the start of her comeback tour at the ‘House of Blues’ in Anaheim:
“We could see Britney all red-eyed from crying. Howie was lying in his boxers asleep on the bed. The hotel room was trashed.
“There were half-eaten plates of food everywhere. There were blankets all over the floor, clothes strewn everywhere. The trash was emptied everywhere over the floor.
“The entire place was littered with empty beer bottles and liquor bottles, small glasses of ice and cigarette butts everywhere.
“On the surface of the dresser, I could see mounds of white powder and a straw on top. I suspected it was cocaine or powdered methamphetamines.
“By the side I spotted a glass pipe, which I knew from my drugs training was often used with crystal meth.”
“I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Britney was completely out of it. We thought she’d overdosed. She was distraught, crying. Her skin was all waxy.
“She looked so ill. We tried to speak to her. My fellow bodyguard and Alli were so worried they wanted to get hold of a medic to detoxify her. We were panicking. We thought she was going to die.
“There was talk about where to put the detox line it was that serious—through her arm, which would make fans think she’d been injecting, or through her neck.
“It was very distressing. Eventually we decided to get her out of there. We grabbed her and took her downstairs. All the time all she could say was, ‘I don’t feel good’.
Tony, a former private detective, is an ‘expert on drugs’ after going on a ten-week police course on the dangers of narcotics.
“I gave evidence to the court because Britney is out of control and needs help.”
“I have done this for her children. She’s not a good mother. She has mental problems. With her drug and booze issues, her home is no place for kids to be raised.”
“Britney does love her kids but she is a fickle mom. When the kids are happy, she’s happy. When they’re crying or unwell, she’s not sure what to do.
“She speaks to them in weird, creepy, baby voices, in made-up languages, which they just don’t get. All it does is unsettle, upset and scare them. Often she would scream and cry uncontrollably. Imagine what that is like for young children.”
“When they are unwell, her answer is: ‘Give the baby a bottle of medicine.’ I’ve never seen her deal with them like a full, attentive mum.”
