- 0:00Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace, Britney Spears's bizarre claim her
- 0:10Speaker 1: look alike her doppelganger is the one not her that
- 0:15Speaker 1: swerves into oncoming traffic onto a bike path as well,
- 0:19Speaker 1: and video that has now gone viral. This I mean
- 0:23Speaker 1: it's fears she is losing control. I'm Nancy Grace. This
- 0:28Speaker 1: is Crime Stories. I want to thank you for being
- 0:30Speaker 1: with us.
- 0:31Speaker 2: Pop Icon.
- 0:32Speaker 3: Britney Spears was spotted and enjoying a night out in Westley, California,
- 0:36Speaker 3: seeking a fun evening with friends. However, the evening took
- 0:40Speaker 3: a dramatic turn when paparazzi captured her in what appeared
- 0:43Speaker 3: to be a reckless act.
- 0:46Speaker 1: Is it real that looks like Britney Spears to me?
- 0:50Speaker 1: What happened? Listen?
- 0:52Speaker 4: Britney Spears behavior spiraling out of control and family seriously
- 0:57Speaker 4: considering nuclear option. An interview to put a stop to
- 1:01Speaker 4: the slide, as ex husband Kevin Fetterline releases book You
- 1:05Speaker 4: Thought You Knew About Fighting Brittany for his children. Britney
- 1:08Speaker 4: is captured on video at upscale restaurant Red Oh, looking sloppy,
- 1:12Speaker 4: her yellow top slipping off her shoulders, dropping items on
- 1:16Speaker 4: the floor. Unsteady on her feet and wobble's lifting her
- 1:19Speaker 4: glass as if to toast the entire restaurant.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Number one, I don't like it when mail reporters and
- 1:25Speaker 1: others describe women as looking sloppy. Somehow that's misogynistic. But
- 1:31Speaker 1: that's a whole other cannon worms. I'll get to in
- 1:33Speaker 1: a moment. Right now, I'm concerned about Britney Spears potentially
- 1:36Speaker 1: driving into oncoming traffic. Listen.
- 1:41Speaker 3: Leaving the restaurant, Britney struggles maintaining her balance as a
- 1:43Speaker 3: friend holds her hand and guiding her outside. Brittany gets
- 1:46Speaker 3: behind the wheel of her black BMW despite protests from
- 1:50Speaker 3: restaurant employees trying to prevent her from.
- 1:52Speaker 4: Driving, driving erradically, ignoring road signs, squealing her tires as
- 1:56Speaker 4: she makes a U turn against the posted no U
- 1:59Speaker 4: turn sign. Britney speeds away from the restaurant. She has
- 2:03Speaker 4: trouble maintaining her lane, swerving under the shoulder and crossing
- 2:06Speaker 4: the center line into oncoming traffic.
- 2:09Speaker 1: With us an all Star panel to make sense of
- 2:11Speaker 1: what we are learning tonight, straight out to Jessica Fan,
- 2:15Speaker 1: Senior investigative reporter, You has son, Jessica, what happened exactly.
- 2:19Speaker 1: I know Brittany is now saying that wasn't me. So
- 2:22Speaker 1: should I believe her or my lion eyes? That looks
- 2:25Speaker 1: like Brittany to me. Let's see the video again, while
- 2:27Speaker 1: Jessica's reporting.
- 2:30Speaker 5: Yeah, sure does look like Brittany. I mean, I think
- 2:32Speaker 5: it's pretty She's pretty recognizable at this point in her life.
- 2:36Speaker 5: And unfortunately it's not for all the good reasons or
- 2:38Speaker 5: the right reasons. Brittany was at the restaurant, clearly having
- 2:42Speaker 5: a good time, partying it up, stumbling around, she was
- 2:46Speaker 5: raising a glass at the restaurant, and then we see
- 2:49Speaker 5: her actually getting into her car. And this is where
- 2:51Speaker 5: things get a little pretty scary and dicey, for not
- 2:54Speaker 5: only Brittany, but for anybody else it might be coming
- 2:56Speaker 5: into contact with her on the road to Flipsy. You
- 2:59Speaker 5: turn in front of the restaurant after exiting, and then
- 3:02Speaker 5: she continues to drive, and the paparazzi who are following her,
- 3:06Speaker 5: you can hear them kind of quietly saying keep your distance.
- 3:09Speaker 5: And I think that that's not only to not scare her,
- 3:12Speaker 5: but also for their own safety. She's driving down the road,
- 3:15Speaker 5: She's driving on a really dark roadway. The only lights
- 3:18Speaker 5: on in front of her are her own lights, and
- 3:21Speaker 5: she's crossing the middle line, and then she's swerving into
- 3:25Speaker 5: the shoulder, and at one point she actually almost ends
- 3:27Speaker 5: up in the dirt on the shoulder, which is super
- 3:29Speaker 5: scary because then she could have totally spun out.
- 3:32Speaker 1: At that point, we also.
- 3:34Speaker 5: See her actually not only in the central line, but
- 3:36Speaker 5: riding in the central line where oncoming traffic would be.
- 3:40Speaker 6: We also see her.
- 3:41Speaker 5: Riding down those reflector strips, and those reflector strips are
- 3:44Speaker 5: meant to alert the driver that there's danger, that they're
- 3:47Speaker 5: crossing into lanes that they shouldn't be in. And I
- 3:50Speaker 5: don't understand how she doesn't. She's not shaken, you know,
- 3:53Speaker 5: or made more aware of this. She seems to continue
- 3:56Speaker 5: to drive on those reflector bumps, despite despite being in them.
- 4:01Speaker 5: And it's just it's a really terrifying scene. And again,
- 4:04Speaker 5: just this isn't just Brittany who's in danger here. It's
- 4:06Speaker 5: anybody else that's on the road with her.
- 4:08Speaker 1: You know, I've covered and investigated and prosecuted vehicular homicides,
- 4:15Speaker 1: and it could be the result of anything. It could
- 4:18Speaker 1: be drunk driving, driving under the influence of drugs. It
- 4:21Speaker 1: could be distracted driving, texting while driving, looking in the
- 4:24Speaker 1: backseat while driving, putting on makeup while driving. I don't care.
- 4:28Speaker 1: Now Spears' camp has made a point to say that
- 4:32Speaker 1: was not her in the video and she was not drinking.
- 4:35Speaker 1: I would give that statement more credence if they just
- 4:39Speaker 1: said she wasn't drinking, because that is absolutely Britney Spears
- 4:44Speaker 1: in that video. There is her bizarre claim if anyone's
- 4:48Speaker 1: wondering to look alike, was not me? Dave Mack tell
- 4:52Speaker 1: me about the driving antics, the erratic driving in a
- 4:55Speaker 1: video that has now gone viral. What specifically happened with
- 5:00Speaker 1: the driving.
- 5:03Speaker 7: Nancy?
- 5:03Speaker 4: As she pulls out, there's a clearly marked sign saying
- 5:07Speaker 4: no U turn, which she just pulls a UI anyway
- 5:12Speaker 4: and then squeals her tires as if to pick up
- 5:15Speaker 4: speed even quicker. So she's already right off the bat,
- 5:18Speaker 4: going dangerous. But then she really has trouble maintaining her lane.
- 5:23Speaker 4: It's not just once or twice, it's constant. She is
- 5:26Speaker 4: never in the lane the way she's supposed to be,
- 5:29Speaker 4: and it's been pointed out as you watch the video,
- 5:32Speaker 4: it's darker. She seems to be the only car on
- 5:34Speaker 4: the road. But you know, if she hit that shoulder
- 5:37Speaker 4: and tried to overcorrect, you know what happens. The dirt
- 5:40Speaker 4: gets under the wheel, she loses control and we had
- 5:43Speaker 4: a mess. But she never is actually maintaining her lane.
- 5:47Speaker 4: She's constantly crossing the center line, which poses problems for
- 5:51Speaker 4: anybody because if she is that out of control, if
- 5:55Speaker 4: another car comes along at the wrong time, We're not
- 5:58Speaker 4: doing this story about her life going down the toilet.
- 6:02Speaker 4: We're actually going to be doing a story with her obituary.
- 6:06Speaker 1: The hit your homicide. That's not what we want for
- 6:11Speaker 1: Britney Spears. But let me ask you, Dave mac you've
- 6:14Speaker 1: never pulled a yui? Are you really going to go
- 6:17Speaker 1: on national TV and say that you've never done a
- 6:19Speaker 1: U turn?
- 6:21Speaker 4: Only pointing out that, hey, this is a woman who
- 6:24Speaker 4: is recognized.
- 6:25Speaker 1: Around the world.
- 6:26Speaker 4: Her ex husband has just released a book about his
- 6:30Speaker 4: life with her, and she acts like she's having to
- 6:33Speaker 4: run away from paparazzi, which she really isn't Nancy, When
- 6:38Speaker 4: you see the video, you know she's not surrounded with
- 6:40Speaker 4: just bulbs going off everywhere. She has no reason to
- 6:43Speaker 4: do something like that. But again, you know, it's you
- 6:47Speaker 4: got people watching your every move. This is this really
- 6:50Speaker 4: the image you want to put out there for everyone
- 6:52Speaker 4: in the entire world?
- 6:53Speaker 1: Okay, you know what dat did I ask you about
- 6:56Speaker 1: Britney Spears image? No, I asked you had you ever
- 7:00Speaker 1: pulled a giwie? And you kind of stuttered? So yes,
- 7:03Speaker 1: you have. Stuttering is a sign of lyne. Then you
- 7:07Speaker 1: go on about Fetterline. I don't want to hear about
- 7:10Speaker 1: Kevin Federline. He's had his fifteen minutes if iman. That
- 7:13Speaker 1: was a long time ago when he married her, before
- 7:15Speaker 1: he started sucking her blood. Now, the minute child support ends,
- 7:20Speaker 1: he writes a tell all book trashing the mother of
- 7:23Speaker 1: his children. I think that's enoughset about him. So you're
- 7:27Speaker 1: talking about image. Let's go to a PR duru, Rob Shooter,
- 7:32Speaker 1: star of Naughty but Nice podcast. Rob has a brand
- 7:38Speaker 1: new book out called It Started with a Whisper and
- 7:41Speaker 1: it's selling out on Amazon. He has worked with Britney Spears.
- 7:45Speaker 1: So Rob, are we seeing Brittany the way we want
- 7:49Speaker 1: to see her or the way she really is?
- 7:52Speaker 7: I've known her for over twenty years. I worked in
- 7:54Speaker 7: a PR office handle Brittany. I've been on many red
- 7:58Speaker 7: carpets with Brittany, events with Brittany. I've been a photo
- 8:01Speaker 7: shoots with Britney Spears. She's always been a troubled young person,
- 8:07Speaker 7: and I think Britney hasn't changed so much in my opinion,
- 8:11Speaker 7: but rather the truth has come out. The image the
- 8:15Speaker 7: person that we were sold by the record company wasn't
- 8:19Speaker 7: the real Brittany. It was a more polished version, which
- 8:21Speaker 7: is often the case with celebrities. You hire publicists and
- 8:24Speaker 7: managers and agents to put forward an image, your view
- 8:27Speaker 7: that you want. But I don't think in all the
- 8:29Speaker 7: years I've worked as celebrities, have I seen somebody that
- 8:32Speaker 7: has been so different in reality than their public image.
- 8:36Speaker 7: Brittany hasn't changed. This is the real Brittany. Now are
- 8:39Speaker 7: finally all getting to see it.
- 8:42Speaker 1: Rob Shooter at PR Guru's side, stepping the question beautifully. Okay,
- 8:47Speaker 1: let's get to what's happening right now. Not Britney's image
- 8:51Speaker 1: and the damage to it, but is she spiraling out
- 8:55Speaker 1: of control? Is there another conservatorship on the horizon. We
- 9:00Speaker 1: also have her denial that this is her, Well it
- 9:05Speaker 1: is her, so, Rob Sheeter, Britney Spears claims the person
- 9:09Speaker 1: at the restaurant and driving is a doppleganger a look alike?
- 9:13Speaker 1: Is it?
- 9:14Speaker 7: This is Britney Spears. Brittany's had a long, really unfortunate
- 9:18Speaker 7: history with the truth, and often Britney can say things
- 9:23Speaker 7: and really believe it herself. Deep down, I'm sure she
- 9:26Speaker 7: knows what's really going on, but it does a lot
- 9:29Speaker 7: easier here to blame somebody else than to take any responsibility.
- 9:34Speaker 7: And even though Brittany has struggled deeply, this is just
- 9:37Speaker 7: another example of why Britney so desperately needs somebody to
- 9:41Speaker 7: step in. It's impossible for Brittany to admit the truth
- 9:45Speaker 7: to herself. In fact, I would argue.
- 9:46Speaker 1: She doesn't even believe his lyings.
- 9:49Speaker 7: She believes the liars.
- 9:56Speaker 1: Crime stores with Nancy Gray rob Sheeter. I would be
- 10:03Speaker 1: more willing to accept her camps claim that she hadn't
- 10:07Speaker 1: been drinking, but they couple that with saying that wasn't her.
- 10:12Speaker 1: In fact, Brittany said it herself that it was a
- 10:14Speaker 1: quote look alike. That's Britney Spears right there. So the
- 10:20Speaker 1: manager at the restaurant says she was not intoxicated, but
- 10:24Speaker 1: the video does show her on steady on her seat.
- 10:27Speaker 1: What do you think, yeah.
- 10:30Speaker 7: It doesn't matter. I think at the end of the
- 10:32Speaker 7: day here legally it might matter. But this is clearly
- 10:35Speaker 7: somebody that's out of control, and somebody was dangerous, not
- 10:38Speaker 7: just to herself but to other people, anybody else driving
- 10:42Speaker 7: like that in California or anywhere else. If they were stopped,
- 10:46Speaker 7: if they were spotted by the police, there would be
- 10:49Speaker 7: huge implications. And said, this video, I'm told is just
- 10:52Speaker 7: the tip of the iceberg. People that know Brittany, that
- 10:55Speaker 7: have worked with her, that have seen her out, have
- 10:58Speaker 7: always described this to me as a rat. This is
- 11:01Speaker 7: not somebody that is stable. And even though the manager
- 11:04Speaker 7: of the bar, the restaurants claims that they were not drinking,
- 11:08Speaker 7: Britain was not drinking. We've seen the video of this.
- 11:11Speaker 7: Clearly something going on.
- 11:14Speaker 1: Well, clearly you cannot prove a do UI without having
- 11:17Speaker 1: a blood test or an alcohol sobriety test or a
- 11:21Speaker 1: blow test where you blow into a breathalyzer test. So
- 11:25Speaker 1: we don't know. And if she did have one glass
- 11:28Speaker 1: of wine, that may not make her a do UI.
- 11:32Speaker 1: If it's combined with any sort of medication, then you've
- 11:36Speaker 1: got a whole another can of worms. We're talking to
- 11:42Speaker 1: Rob Shooter, host of Naughty but Nice podcast, author of
- 11:46Speaker 1: a hit novel It started with a whisper, and he
- 11:49Speaker 1: has worked with spears. You know, I'm very curious. Do
- 11:56Speaker 1: you believe Rob Shooter that there is any way her
- 12:00Speaker 1: family would now help her? Would they touch her with
- 12:03Speaker 1: a ten foot poll? After the way her father was vilified,
- 12:08Speaker 1: wrongly or rightfully regarding that draconian conservatorship that he was
- 12:13Speaker 1: in charge of with his daughter. Will the family help her?
- 12:17Speaker 8: Rob?
- 12:18Speaker 7: My reporting is the family won't touch this. They saw
- 12:21Speaker 7: what happened to Britney's father, who was crucified in the media,
- 12:25Speaker 7: in the press, the fans absolutely how did this man
- 12:29Speaker 7: for really save in his daughter's life? And so I
- 12:31Speaker 7: think we all have a lot of soul search in
- 12:34Speaker 7: thinking to do here. We all wanted Brittany to be free,
- 12:39Speaker 7: but without ever thinking about what does that actually look like?
- 12:42Speaker 7: What does that actually mean? And a free Brittany is
- 12:46Speaker 7: a very dangerous one and so it's clear she needs
- 12:49Speaker 7: some help. The problem is now is who's going to
- 12:51Speaker 7: provide that knowing what happens to the last person that did.
- 12:57Speaker 7: Her dad was crucified. She had a legal team beat
- 13:02Speaker 7: him up day after day after day. Nobody in the
- 13:06Speaker 7: family wants to go through that again. They all want
- 13:08Speaker 7: to help Brittany, but they're all scared, and I honestly
- 13:12Speaker 7: I don't blame.
- 13:13Speaker 1: Them straight out to special guests joining us tonight. You
- 13:16Speaker 1: know him well as we all do, Perez Hilton. He
- 13:20Speaker 1: is a pop culture expert. He blogs. He's a columnist,
- 13:24Speaker 1: co host of the Perez Hilton podcast, author of TMI
- 13:29Speaker 1: My Life in Scandal, and a children's book, The Boy
- 13:33Speaker 1: with Pink Hair, and you can find him at Perez
- 13:36Speaker 1: Hilton dot com. Prez, it's great to see you again.
- 13:38Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us tonight. Thanks for having me, Perez.
- 13:42Speaker 1: Britney spears. You know I was at the forefront fighting
- 13:46Speaker 1: to free Britney, and as Oscar Will said, be careful
- 13:51Speaker 1: what you ask, my dear, for you will surely get it.
- 13:54Speaker 1: I still think it was right to get her out
- 13:57Speaker 1: from under the conservatorship, but there was no transition. She
- 14:02Speaker 1: went from total draconian control of her life too wild
- 14:08Speaker 1: and free and it is not working out. Tell me
- 14:10Speaker 1: about the latest incident, Perez.
- 14:13Speaker 6: Well, the very latest.
- 14:15Speaker 2: There's an update, since perhaps some of your viewers heard
- 14:19Speaker 2: that Britney. According to reports was seen driving erradically in
- 14:24Speaker 2: the Thousand Oaks area of Los Angeles, where she lives.
- 14:28Speaker 2: The paparazzi got her going to a local restaurant there and,
- 14:33Speaker 2: according to reports, having a glass of wine. However, we've
- 14:38Speaker 2: now heard from the manager of that restaurant, whom, according
- 14:43Speaker 2: to him, denies that Britney Spears was intoxicated. She was
- 14:48Speaker 2: not there by herself. She was accompanied by a female
- 14:51Speaker 2: friend and a fellow patron at the restaurant was the
- 14:55Speaker 2: one who bought Britney that drink, and she was very friendly.
- 15:00Speaker 6: Listen.
- 15:02Speaker 2: I know a lot about Britney Spears. I have a
- 15:04Speaker 2: lot of empathy for her. She's never been a good driver,
- 15:09Speaker 2: and you might ask yourself why is she even driving.
- 15:13Speaker 6: She does have a security team.
- 15:15Speaker 2: An entire detail, But for some reason, Brittany, while not
- 15:21Speaker 2: being the best driver, has always loved to drive. I
- 15:25Speaker 2: remember vividly before she was placed on that psychiatric hold,
- 15:31Speaker 2: her life was so chaotic leading up to that, she
- 15:35Speaker 2: would sometimes drive in her car after her kids were
- 15:38Speaker 2: already taken away from her, and she would just drive
- 15:41Speaker 2: around town for hours. There's something that she finds healing
- 15:45Speaker 2: about it, and thankfully nobody was hurt, and I can't
- 15:48Speaker 2: prove that she was drunker or incapacitated in any way.
- 15:52Speaker 1: I understand that going for long drives in your car
- 15:57Speaker 1: can be a source of freedom or independence because you're
- 16:00Speaker 1: totally in control. Pre Hilton, you have three amazing children,
- 16:06Speaker 1: right How would you like to see Britney Spears come
- 16:08Speaker 1: buryling the wrong way down the street at you with
- 16:11Speaker 1: your children in the back. Think about that for a moment.
- 16:14Speaker 1: I'm not all hung up on did she drink the
- 16:17Speaker 1: glass of wine? Look in my world just because I
- 16:22Speaker 1: think somebody's DUI, I can't take that to a jerry.
- 16:25Speaker 1: I've got to have evidence proof. I've got to have
- 16:28Speaker 1: blood alcohol I've got to have a sobriety test. I've
- 16:31Speaker 1: got to have a blow test. If I don't have those,
- 16:35Speaker 1: it doesn't exist. If I can't prove it, it's not real.
- 16:38Speaker 1: What I can prove is that video for driving the
- 16:42Speaker 1: wrong way down the road control room. Can I see
- 16:45Speaker 1: the video of the Brittany look alike in the bar?
- 16:50Speaker 1: That's good video too, which Oh there you go. I'm
- 16:52Speaker 1: glad that guy behind her pulled over. Okay, right here,
- 16:55Speaker 1: pres Hilton, Should I believe you are my lion eyes
- 16:59Speaker 1: because she is totally toasting everybody with a big, fat drink.
- 17:02Speaker 1: So you're telling me she did not imbibe even though
- 17:05Speaker 1: she had a drink in her hand, or are you
- 17:07Speaker 1: telling me that's not Britney Spears.
- 17:09Speaker 2: What I am saying is I just wish healing for
- 17:15Speaker 2: Brittany and everybody. I have a lot of empathy not
- 17:17Speaker 2: just for her, but also for her children as well
- 17:21Speaker 2: as a victims as well.
- 17:24Speaker 1: Perez, I've known you a long time and I like you,
- 17:30Speaker 1: and I read what you right, and I'll listen to
- 17:31Speaker 1: your podcast.
- 17:33Speaker 6: Thank you.
- 17:33Speaker 1: I just asked you a direct question about driving the
- 17:38Speaker 1: wrong way down a highway at night into oncoming traffic,
- 17:44Speaker 1: and you said you wish for healing. Stop.
- 17:50Speaker 6: I did not answer the question.
- 17:51Speaker 2: And traffic, okay, I did watch the entire video, and
- 17:55Speaker 2: I did not see any traffic coming her way. Obviously
- 17:59Speaker 2: she was not driving as the law dictates.
- 18:03Speaker 6: But I think the.
- 18:04Speaker 2: Bigger picture is why we're here, why we're even talking
- 18:07Speaker 2: about Britney Spears.
- 18:09Speaker 6: It's clear that this young woman, well now she's in her.
- 18:12Speaker 2: Forties, but I think for so many of us, she's
- 18:16Speaker 2: still that little girl, and we feel like, Britney's a
- 18:19Speaker 2: part of our family and we're rooting for her and
- 18:22Speaker 2: we want her to.
- 18:22Speaker 6: Have a happy ending.
- 18:23Speaker 2: But I think unfortunately, she's only going to get better
- 18:27Speaker 2: if she wants to get.
- 18:28Speaker 1: Better, you know, Perez Hilton, I'm not quite sure why
- 18:33Speaker 1: my beloved control room is showing racy videos of Brittany
- 18:38Speaker 1: pushing her breast up. I want to talk there. You
- 18:40Speaker 1: go right there, that's like a going in. No, okay, Perez,
- 18:49Speaker 1: I know you can't see oncoming traffic, but would you
- 18:52Speaker 1: at least agree she's driving on the wrong side of
- 18:55Speaker 1: the road.
- 18:55Speaker 2: More than that she was driving erratically. I would say
- 18:59Speaker 2: she she was swerving. And this is nothing new.
- 19:04Speaker 6: As I shared with you, she's always been a bad driver.
- 19:09Speaker 1: Hey, hey, hey, put him back up for Pete's sake, Perez,
- 19:13Speaker 1: there's a big difference in a bad driver. A lot
- 19:16Speaker 1: of people are bad drivers, but ahead on collision on
- 19:21Speaker 1: the wrong side of the road. I've seen vehicular homicide
- 19:25Speaker 1: cases before where even with the jaws of life, you
- 19:29Speaker 1: can barely get the victim out of their vehicle through
- 19:33Speaker 1: no fault of their own. You said we're all rooting
- 19:37Speaker 1: for Brittany. I am too, do you know how much
- 19:40Speaker 1: hate mail I got for demanding that conservatorship end and
- 19:44Speaker 1: vilifying her father from making reportedly six million dollars off
- 19:49Speaker 1: that conservatorship. I did not think that was fair, working
- 19:54Speaker 1: her like a mule and everybody sucking on her like
- 19:56Speaker 1: a tick taking all the money. I thought that was wrong,
- 20:00Speaker 1: and it was wrong. But this is also wrong, bad
- 20:03Speaker 1: driver and vehicular homicide.
- 20:05Speaker 4: I agree.
- 20:07Speaker 2: My question, my question to you is what do you
- 20:10Speaker 2: think is the path forward?
- 20:12Speaker 1: What should happen? What would we know see? I was
- 20:15Speaker 1: asking you the questions, mister Hilton. I'm asking you the
- 20:21Speaker 1: question to say, you've worked with Brittany, You've known Brittany
- 20:24Speaker 1: for a long time, and I agree. She feels like
- 20:27Speaker 1: somebody in our family that we all grew up with.
- 20:30Speaker 1: We've been watching her shi she was on the Mickey
- 20:33Speaker 1: Mouse Show, I guess, and she's beautiful and wonderful and
- 20:37Speaker 1: amazingly talented. That does not excuse a potential head on collision.
- 20:44Speaker 1: And it hasn't happened yet, and this is the time
- 20:47Speaker 1: for action the family. Whitn't you agrees afraid to touch
- 20:51Speaker 1: her with a ten foot pole after the father was
- 20:53Speaker 1: vilified rightfully or wrongfully. So what is your experience with Britney?
- 20:59Speaker 1: Is there any way to get to her?
- 21:02Speaker 2: Yes, I think the best way to get to her
- 21:07Speaker 2: is through her sons, who are adults now, Sean Preston
- 21:11Speaker 2: and Jaden James. They're nineteen and twenty. And unfortunately, last
- 21:18Speaker 2: week Kevin Fetterline, her ex husband, said that because of
- 21:23Speaker 2: things that they have observed, both of the kids, adults
- 21:28Speaker 2: now over the age of eighteen, did spend time with
- 21:32Speaker 2: Brittany this year, one more than the other, and they
- 21:34Speaker 2: don't feel.
- 21:35Speaker 6: Comfortable spending more time with her. And it's such that
- 21:39Speaker 6: we're asking so much as men.
- 21:42Speaker 1: Yes, isn't it true that one of them got an
- 21:45Speaker 1: expensive car from her in the past year?
- 21:49Speaker 6: That would not shock me. I did not know that.
- 21:52Speaker 1: And so if that is true, he takes a car,
- 21:55Speaker 1: but is afraid to be with her, but not afraid
- 21:58Speaker 1: to take the car, I'm that extremely inconsistent.
- 22:03Speaker 6: Well, I'll give.
- 22:05Speaker 2: You an exclusive that I've heard from some of my sources.
- 22:08Speaker 2: It's more than just the car, Nancy. I'm told that Brittany,
- 22:13Speaker 2: even though she's not legally obligated to do so, still
- 22:17Speaker 2: financially supports her sons and gives them an allowance, both
- 22:21Speaker 2: of them, even the one that is more estranged from her.
- 22:26Speaker 1: You know, I'm not surprised. I mean, is there anything
- 22:29Speaker 1: you would not do for any of your three children?
- 22:33Speaker 1: Because I can think of very few things I wouldn't
- 22:36Speaker 1: do for mine, So I'm not surprised she's giving money
- 22:40Speaker 1: to her children. They're her boys. But it is a
- 22:44Speaker 1: little galling that Federline is still sucking her blood writing
- 22:49Speaker 1: a tail all book. Coincidentally, as soon as a child support.
- 22:53Speaker 2: Ends, I expect fully that he will continue to do this.
- 23:01Speaker 2: Brittany and the people around her just decide to silence
- 23:04Speaker 2: him by giving him more money.
- 23:06Speaker 1: Perez, I think at this juncture we can expect a
- 23:10Speaker 1: long line stretching endlessly into the future, appearances by fetter
- 23:16Speaker 1: Line promoting his book, maybe getting paid appearances. Make no mistake.
- 23:22Speaker 1: Child's support is paid to the parent, and the parent
- 23:27Speaker 1: takes that money to support the children. So all the
- 23:32Speaker 1: child support was was a huge amount Britney Spears was
- 23:35Speaker 1: paying went to fetter Line to use as hec's fit,
- 23:39Speaker 1: and the minute that ended, he puts out the book.
- 23:43Speaker 1: Have you read the book? Do you know about the book?
- 23:46Speaker 2: Oh?
- 23:46Speaker 6: I know?
- 23:47Speaker 2: Every detail about the book, and I find it hilarious
- 23:51Speaker 2: that he says he's doing.
- 23:52Speaker 6: It for his children.
- 23:54Speaker 2: I would have more respect for him if he was
- 23:56Speaker 2: just transparent and said I'm doing this for the money.
- 23:59Speaker 2: He also claims he's releasing this book because he's concerned
- 24:04Speaker 2: about Britney. If you're really concerned about the mother of
- 24:07Speaker 2: your children, I think there are better ways to express that.
- 24:12Speaker 1: You mean, shut the hell up and help her. I mean,
- 24:15Speaker 1: that's what I would have suggested. Now, this is confounding
- 24:19Speaker 1: to me. The court awarded and this is, according to him,
- 24:22Speaker 1: twenty grand a month in child support that saw two
- 24:27Speaker 1: hundred and forty thousand, nearly quarter million dollars a year,
- 24:30Speaker 1: and at the same time alimony like he can't go
- 24:34Speaker 1: to work of twenty thousand a month.
- 24:37Speaker 2: Yeah, the number was increased eventually, so it did go
- 24:42Speaker 2: up to forty thousand a month for a long time.
- 24:45Speaker 2: Another little bit of good news. Brittany is estranged, as
- 24:50Speaker 2: we know, from her father, from her mother, from her sister. However,
- 24:55Speaker 2: Brittany has an older brother, which a lot of people
- 24:58Speaker 2: don't know or the me media doesn't talk about that often.
- 25:02Speaker 2: And Britney's brother, Brian Spears is, to my understanding, the
- 25:07Speaker 2: only family member in regular and close contact with Britney.
- 25:13Speaker 6: So you know, I do believe in the.
- 25:18Speaker 2: Value and importance of family, and hopefully he is a
- 25:22Speaker 2: positive influence for his sister.
- 25:25Speaker 1: Perez. Federline was getting around a half a million dollars
- 25:30Speaker 1: a year from Brittany, and according to you more, I'm
- 25:36Speaker 1: using a conservative calculation, and the minute that money ends,
- 25:41Speaker 1: suddenly he has a tell all but which totally trashes
- 25:45Speaker 1: the mother of his children to clear his name? What
- 25:48Speaker 1: does his name need to be cleared? Who wants to
- 25:52Speaker 1: clear the name of Kevin Federline? Does anyone even think
- 25:55Speaker 1: about Kevin Federline?
- 25:57Speaker 2: I mean, listen, like you, Nan, I'm all about keeping
- 26:01Speaker 2: it real and being honest.
- 26:02Speaker 6: A couple of years ago, Brittany came.
- 26:04Speaker 2: Out with her own memoir, So I do think it
- 26:07Speaker 2: is absolutely valid and fair for Kevin to release.
- 26:12Speaker 1: His Now, oh so that's surprised, Hill to the name
- 26:15Speaker 1: is fair, Nanny, Nini boo boo. Please, it's only fair.
- 26:20Speaker 1: You did it if you are if I am this, so,
- 26:22Speaker 1: are you are you crazy? No? You're not crazy, I
- 26:25Speaker 1: know that for a fact. But your reasoning is a
- 26:28Speaker 1: non sequitur. It doesn't follow. He's the one making all
- 26:32Speaker 1: the money off of her, and now that the money ends,
- 26:35Speaker 1: he's trashing her. He has used her from day one
- 26:39Speaker 1: and used her children against her. Was she the best mom?
- 26:42Speaker 1: I can clearly say with no doubt, no, she was not.
- 26:47Speaker 1: But this book, okay, I just find it to be
- 26:51Speaker 1: I hate using this word triggering. He puts the book out,
- 26:55Speaker 1: and now this incident happens with her driving. She can't
- 26:59Speaker 1: blame anyone but herself for the driving, but he knows
- 27:03Speaker 1: how fragile she is and put this book out. Anyway,
- 27:07Speaker 1: He's just looking for another payday. But he's not my concern.
- 27:11Speaker 1: My concern is a future vehicular homicide victim. So you
- 27:15Speaker 1: think the brother can talk sense into her?
- 27:18Speaker 6: I didn't say that.
- 27:19Speaker 2: I don't know if anybody can talk sense into Brittany, sadly,
- 27:23Speaker 2: but the good thing is outside of the brother, every
- 27:28Speaker 2: other person in Britney's.
- 27:30Speaker 6: Life is on the payroll. So they're just another form
- 27:33Speaker 6: of Kevin fetterline. And that's sad.
- 27:37Speaker 1: Let me be clear, Are you telling me that's not
- 27:40Speaker 1: Brittany that I'm looking at right there? Driving that car?
- 27:43Speaker 6: The wrong one? Brittany it's her.
- 27:46Speaker 1: Okay, and are you also telling me she did not
- 27:51Speaker 1: drink alcohol at the bar?
- 27:53Speaker 2: I didn't say that, I said according to the manager
- 27:56Speaker 2: of the restaurant, he alleges that Brittany was not drunk.
- 28:00Speaker 1: You know what, you know us a little about you.
- 28:02Speaker 1: You throw in enough allegedly's reportedly's and according tos. I mean,
- 28:07Speaker 1: it's amazing. I should take a page out of your book,
- 28:09Speaker 1: for sure. What were you going to say?
- 28:12Speaker 2: But you know, listen, I'm on teen truth and just
- 28:17Speaker 2: one drink can have a really bad reaction if you're
- 28:21Speaker 2: also taking medication, and I don't know, perhaps Brittany is
- 28:25Speaker 2: on medication. So it was an unfortunate incident and hopefully
- 28:32Speaker 2: it doesn't happen again.
- 28:33Speaker 1: Well, I very often call unfortunate incidents felonies, and that's
- 28:37Speaker 1: what I don't want Britney Spears to be involved in.
- 28:40Speaker 1: You think anybody would come to her aid if she's
- 28:43Speaker 1: charged with a hic homicide. No, everybody would be piling
- 28:46Speaker 1: on and then you'd have the victim totally destroyed. Okay,
- 28:51Speaker 1: what's your most vivid memory, your most vivid personal memory
- 28:55Speaker 1: of Britney.
- 28:57Speaker 6: I mean, I remember.
- 29:01Speaker 2: It sucks because it was during the conservatorship, but her
- 29:05Speaker 2: life was stable and she was performing and doing what
- 29:10Speaker 2: she loves. And I went to go see her show
- 29:12Speaker 2: in Las Vegas, and this was after I was in
- 29:15Speaker 2: her Circus tour opening and for this.
- 29:18Speaker 6: One song, she brought me up on stage and put
- 29:20Speaker 6: me on a leash.
- 29:21Speaker 2: And walked me around and that was a fun moment
- 29:24Speaker 2: for me, definitely.
- 29:26Speaker 1: Okay, let me understand what I'm hearing. I'd like to
- 29:30Speaker 1: say for us, Hilton, please, Britney Spears put you on
- 29:33Speaker 1: a leash and walked you across the stage like a dog,
- 29:35Speaker 1: and that's your best memory. Okay, I think I'll leave
- 29:39Speaker 1: on that point. Thank you, mister Hulton. No further comments.
- 29:44Speaker 1: Cross examination has now ended. An erradic driving video of
- 29:50Speaker 1: Britney Spears has gone viral. Her response, that was a
- 29:57Speaker 1: look alike, It wasn't me. Here's the concern. If that's
- 30:02Speaker 1: what we're seeing in public, what is happening and private?
- 30:07Speaker 1: I want you to see a video posted by we
- 30:10Speaker 1: believe none other than her loving ex husband Kevin Fetterline
- 30:15Speaker 1: in his attempt to trash the mother of his children.
- 30:19Speaker 1: But this is a harsh reality. If this is to
- 30:21Speaker 1: be believed. Listen, I'm in here while we're trying to
- 30:25Speaker 1: go to bed, and and you just this is my house.
- 30:28Speaker 9: If I want to come in here and give you
- 30:30Speaker 9: lotion for your face because it is coarse, and all you.
- 30:33Speaker 6: Tell me now he's fine? Is fine?
- 30:35Speaker 1: No, it's not fine. You all better start respecting me.
- 30:40Speaker 1: Are we clear?
- 30:42Speaker 6: Yeah? And when Robin calls an you're all.
- 30:45Speaker 10: You're all, even Robin's a kid, she says, what have
- 30:48Speaker 10: you been giving to your kids?
- 30:49Speaker 6: You're all?
- 30:50Speaker 1: You own?
- 30:51Speaker 9: You to start treating me like a woman with worth.
- 30:54Speaker 9: I am a woman. Okay, be nice to me. Do
- 30:58Speaker 9: you understand?
- 31:00Speaker 1: Straight out to our all star panel of a guest.
- 31:04Speaker 1: That video, as I mentioned earlier, was from Kevin Federline.
- 31:08Speaker 1: Doctor Bethany Marshall, psychoanalyst joining us from La, author of
- 31:13Speaker 1: deal Breaker. You can see her on Peacock and find
- 31:17Speaker 1: her at doctor Bethany Marshall dot com. Before I tank
- 31:20Speaker 1: the water, I'd like to hear your response to that video,
- 31:25Speaker 1: Nancy is heartbreaking. Those kids are being verbally abused.
- 31:29Speaker 11: She's telling them that they need to respect her, but
- 31:33Speaker 11: not in the way that a parent says.
- 31:35Speaker 1: You know, I cook dinner for you.
- 31:36Speaker 6: So you could.
- 31:37Speaker 1: Appreciate what I've done.
- 31:38Speaker 11: It's more like she's exploiting them for her own narcissistic gratification,
- 31:43Speaker 11: getting them to admire her and look up to her,
- 31:46Speaker 11: and that is really the use of the relationship with
- 31:49Speaker 11: her children.
- 31:51Speaker 1: I don't know quite what to make of it. There
- 31:55Speaker 1: is more video, and let me go out to our
- 31:59Speaker 1: lawyer joining us is a conservatorship specialist, and of course
- 32:04Speaker 1: I'm going to go to her on conservatorships, but she's
- 32:08Speaker 1: probably just other sorts of law as well. Elizabeth J. Mcinturffe,
- 32:12Speaker 1: specializing in guardianship issues, partner at Selzer Gervich. Elizabeth, thank
- 32:19Speaker 1: you for being with us. Whenever you, I assume like me,
- 32:24Speaker 1: would put a witness on the stand, I would have
- 32:27Speaker 1: to judge the credibility. Can they be believed? I put
- 32:31Speaker 1: everything on the stand, from a nun, a priest, possibly
- 32:35Speaker 1: a virgin, to strippers, prostitutes, drug addicts, you name it,
- 32:39Speaker 1: and I can tell you this much. Every witness you
- 32:42Speaker 1: put on the stand will be cross examined, so you've
- 32:46Speaker 1: got to be ready. My point, consider the source. This
- 32:49Speaker 1: is a video posted by her ex who is sucking
- 32:54Speaker 1: her blood with his tell all book. Coincidentally, the moment
- 32:59Speaker 1: his child support ends, then he writes a book. He
- 33:03Speaker 1: posted this, But even though I'm considering the source, Elizabeth McInturff,
- 33:08Speaker 1: I can't argue with its authenticity.
- 33:11Speaker 12: The video itself may be authentic, but what doesn't matter
- 33:14Speaker 12: if it was, you know, nearly twenty years ago. Now
- 33:18Speaker 12: we're talking about Brittany in the present sense and whether
- 33:21Speaker 12: or not she needs additional help, whether or not a
- 33:24Speaker 12: conservatorship is appropriate, what may or may not happened fifteen
- 33:28Speaker 12: years ago with her then, you know, younger children shouldn't
- 33:33Speaker 12: matter as it stands right now as to whether or
- 33:35Speaker 12: not she needs a guardianship. In fact, that was likely
- 33:38Speaker 12: already considered during her first guardianship.
- 33:41Speaker 1: Elizabeth McInturff, are you telling me that when you don't
- 33:46Speaker 1: know a horse, you cannot judge her track record?
- 33:51Speaker 12: The track record that the court is going to be
- 33:54Speaker 12: looking at is going to be the track record that's
- 33:55Speaker 12: happening right now, what has happened since the last guardianship.
- 33:59Speaker 1: So I don't know if you've ever been to a race,
- 34:02Speaker 1: but certainly seen the Kentucky Derby on TV. A track
- 34:06Speaker 1: record is what has happened in the past not what
- 34:08Speaker 1: is happening right now. I'm sure you're familiar with similar
- 34:12Speaker 1: transactions in the law that tend to prove or disprove
- 34:17Speaker 1: the case in chief. What I'm talking about, and the
- 34:20Speaker 1: reason I showed that video is we see the erratic
- 34:24Speaker 1: driving in the here and now, but what happens behind
- 34:29Speaker 1: closed doors. What I'm saying is there is a move
- 34:33Speaker 1: afoot to revive her conservatorship after this erratic driving video
- 34:40Speaker 1: went viral, and there is a track record of bizarre
- 34:45Speaker 1: behavior in the past, but the bizarre doesn't necessarily require
- 34:52Speaker 1: a conservatorship. Everybody thinks everybody else is bizarre, right, So
- 34:59Speaker 1: who are we to step and say she needs a conservatorship?
- 35:01Speaker 1: But Elizabeth mcinturf, who I'd like to see while I'm
- 35:04Speaker 1: talking to her, Elizabeth, when you begin to threaten other
- 35:08Speaker 1: people and put them in danger, that changes everything.
- 35:13Speaker 12: Correct, And her putting people in danger is something that
- 35:18Speaker 12: the court may consider, but it's really is whether or
- 35:20Speaker 12: not she's putting herself in danger. The fact that she
- 35:23Speaker 12: put other people in danger the other night is horrifying.
- 35:27Speaker 12: And I also just question why no one called the
- 35:30Speaker 12: police if they're behind this car for miles presumably I
- 35:34Speaker 12: can tell you that shining a foolish.
- 35:36Speaker 1: Until they call you that. I'll tell you why, because
- 35:39Speaker 1: this video was not taken by a concerned citizen. It's
- 35:42Speaker 1: my belief, which has not been corroborated, that it's taken
- 35:45Speaker 1: by the paparazzi and they wanted to get the whole shot.
- 35:48Speaker 1: They'd probably be thrilled if she had a crash, because
- 35:51Speaker 1: then they'd have the video. That's why they didn't call police.
- 35:53Speaker 1: They thought their video would end. I'm just guessing.
- 35:56Speaker 6: I think you're probably right on that.
- 35:58Speaker 12: And whether or not though that that driving incident means
- 36:01Speaker 12: that she needs a guardianship is maybe something in the
- 36:04Speaker 12: court would look at, but it wouldn't be kind of
- 36:08Speaker 12: the end all be all of the guardianship. And like
- 36:11Speaker 12: you mentioned, it's the guardianship is a nuclear action. It's
- 36:15Speaker 12: kind of the last thing you.
- 36:16Speaker 1: Want to do. Oh, so they should be consaying a
- 36:19Speaker 1: number of steps. Are you watching the video at all
- 36:21Speaker 1: while you're talking? I'm sure the paparazzi are chasing her
- 36:25Speaker 1: as usual. No, there you go. Now watch this she
- 36:30Speaker 1: veers from one side into oncoming traffic in the next.
- 36:35Speaker 1: So okay. People have argued there was no oncoming traffic,
- 36:38Speaker 1: slams on breaks and then keeps going. That's dangerous, oh, Elizabeth, Yeah,
- 36:45Speaker 1: horrifying the driving itself, and that is again something that
- 36:50Speaker 1: they may consider, But any of itself does not mean
- 36:53Speaker 1: a guardianship.
- 36:54Speaker 12: If it did, what in her ex justin Timberlake have
- 36:56Speaker 12: a guardianship? He himself had a DUI And so.
- 36:59Speaker 1: What the is looking really good point? That's a really
- 37:03Speaker 1: good point, Elizabeth mcinturf. I was just arguing with our
- 37:06Speaker 1: Crime Stories investigative reporter Dave Mack who called her out
- 37:09Speaker 1: for making a euwie? Is there anybody on this panel,
- 37:12Speaker 1: let your voice be heard that has never pulled a
- 37:14Speaker 1: yui before. Just because there's one incident of erratic driving
- 37:19Speaker 1: does not a conservatorship make, But coupled with other behavior,
- 37:25Speaker 1: there may be a case Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
- 37:38Speaker 1: Shouldn't there be another conservatorship before anyone else is hurt?
- 37:42Speaker 1: The video we showed you earlier Britney Spears fussing at
- 37:46Speaker 1: her children about as they're trying to go to bed,
- 37:49Speaker 1: about putting on lotion and demanding they respect her as
- 37:51Speaker 1: a woman. Here is another video posted by Fetterline. Have
- 37:57Speaker 1: you lost your.
- 37:58Speaker 10: Mind care, But I'm shocked as with you, and I
- 38:03Speaker 10: don't know what to do. And I'm scared of you
- 38:05Speaker 10: because you're weird, because you're going through puberty. I don't
- 38:08Speaker 10: know what to say, but I do care more than
- 38:10Speaker 10: you know, Sha, But don't be my little body can't
- 38:14Speaker 10: handle all of that. But it's like sometimes I just
- 38:16Speaker 10: don't even know what to say with you. I was
- 38:18Speaker 10: in shock and I do care. Literally, I was in
- 38:22Speaker 10: shocked in the store when I look down and Jayden.
- 38:24Speaker 1: How are you so cool about that?
- 38:25Speaker 10: Your brother being mc barron's big feat Sin's thirteen, Now,
- 38:29Speaker 10: well he's my brother often all the more exposed his
- 38:33Speaker 10: feet your blood in ice cream shop in Alaska weather.
- 38:38Speaker 1: Don't you think that's a little odd?
- 38:40Speaker 12: Uh?
- 38:40Speaker 1: Yeah, I think your fond should be gone, Okay for
- 38:43Speaker 1: very long? Yeah, that's what I was posted by Kevin
- 38:47Speaker 1: Federline on Insta via page six.
- 38:51Speaker 3: During her outing with a friend at Red Oh in Westlake, California,
- 38:55Speaker 3: Spears reportedly displayed unusual behavior, including knocking over glasses and
- 39:00Speaker 3: eyebrows among onlookers.
- 39:03Speaker 1: Straight out to a private investigator, Chief Operation Officer Nathan's Investigations,
- 39:09Speaker 1: who specializes in conservatorship issue investigations. Ashley word Law joining us. Ashley,
- 39:16Speaker 1: thanks for being with us. I find the timing unusual
- 39:20Speaker 1: that this talk of should there be a new conservatorship
- 39:24Speaker 1: exactly when the leech Kevin Federline puts out his tell
- 39:30Speaker 1: all book. I find it coincidental that that happens right
- 39:37Speaker 1: when his child support about forty grand a month combined
- 39:41Speaker 1: with alimony ends. Now he writes a tell all book,
- 39:45Speaker 1: and then suddenly there is this viral video and then
- 39:49Speaker 1: suddenly there's a snowball effect, and we're talking about a
- 39:51Speaker 1: conservatorship in that video. I don't see her doing anything
- 39:56Speaker 1: that a lot of people haven't done.
- 39:58Speaker 8: As a private investigator, our job would be to get
- 40:01Speaker 8: factual evidence. So yes, we are going to look for
- 40:04Speaker 8: videos that show her behavior, but we can't speak to
- 40:08Speaker 8: what she's doing.
- 40:09Speaker 1: Okay, we're going to look for past videos.
- 40:11Speaker 8: We're going to look for financial records and interview people,
- 40:15Speaker 8: you know, those who were present at the time and see,
- 40:18Speaker 8: you know, what their thoughts were and what was going
- 40:20Speaker 8: on with her while she was out in public. Okay,
- 40:23Speaker 8: we can only go and get what's happening outside of
- 40:27Speaker 8: our household.
- 40:28Speaker 1: So, for example, we do surveillance on her for a
- 40:30Speaker 1: couple of weeks.
- 40:31Speaker 8: We want to show a consistent.
- 40:33Speaker 1: Pattern for her.
- 40:34Speaker 8: It can't just be one viral moment or one bad
- 40:37Speaker 8: moment and we take it.
- 40:38Speaker 1: And run with it.
- 40:39Speaker 8: We need to be able to build a historical timeline
- 40:42Speaker 8: and show from point A up until this point, this
- 40:45Speaker 8: is what's been going.
- 40:46Speaker 1: On with her, and we need that footage.
- 40:48Speaker 8: We need things like videos and photos so that we
- 40:51Speaker 8: can present this to those decision makers.
- 40:54Speaker 1: Well put how she Wardlaw joining us from Nathan's investigations.
- 40:59Speaker 1: You know, Yessica Fan, it's just all fitting together a
- 41:02Speaker 1: little too neatly, Jessica Fan joining US Senior investigative reporter
- 41:07Speaker 1: Us Son that all of this emerges, it bubbles up
- 41:12Speaker 1: right when Federal Line's book comes out.
- 41:16Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I have mixed feelings about kay Fed
- 41:20Speaker 5: coming out with this book. I mean, on the one hand,
- 41:23Speaker 5: it seems like it was well timed for Brittany to
- 41:27Speaker 5: not be doing well.
- 41:28Speaker 1: But on the other hand, is this.
- 41:31Speaker 5: New depth of her spiraling result of his book. You know,
- 41:36Speaker 5: it's kind of like what came first, the chicken or
- 41:37Speaker 5: the egg here, Brittany doesn't seem to have been doing
- 41:41Speaker 5: well for a little while now, I think we've all
- 41:44Speaker 5: been witnessed to her Instagram and dancing with knives and.
- 41:48Speaker 1: Jessica Fan Jessica Fan. Yeah, if I had a body
- 41:52Speaker 1: like that, I might dance around in Pacey's too. Yeah,
- 41:56Speaker 1: you know, so, so it's easy for us to say
- 41:59Speaker 1: that's bad. It is shend but naked. Who cares?
- 42:03Speaker 12: I don't gobbled?
- 42:05Speaker 1: Do you care?
- 42:06Speaker 12: You know?
- 42:06Speaker 1: Okay for the most part.
- 42:08Speaker 5: Note, but there's also the.
- 42:09Speaker 1: Water's forty, and she looks awesome.
- 42:11Speaker 13: But there's also like dog fecal matter in the background
- 42:15Speaker 13: on the floor, and her house is like clearly in
- 42:19Speaker 13: disarray and to the point where it's like a dean.
- 42:22Speaker 5: It looks dangerous, Hazmac kind of situation.
- 42:25Speaker 1: So I'm looking at video right now and I don't
- 42:27Speaker 1: see any of that. I do say some very troubling
- 42:29Speaker 1: knife flay. So okay, Jessica Fan, Do you have a pet?
- 42:34Speaker 1: May I ask? I do? I? Do? I have a
- 42:37Speaker 1: cat with a litter box and have one? Ever? Let
- 42:40Speaker 1: me say, is there a nice way to say this
- 42:41Speaker 1: took a big bat crap on the floor when you
- 42:44Speaker 1: weren't looking.
- 42:45Speaker 5: It certainly happens.
- 42:46Speaker 13: It certainly happens.
- 42:47Speaker 1: But I also don't know. Okay, so out so Brittany's
- 42:52Speaker 1: dog took a poop on the floor and she's dancing
- 42:54Speaker 1: around naked. I'm not the church lady. I'm concerned about
- 42:58Speaker 1: more serious issues like driving on the wrong side of
- 43:01Speaker 1: the road and a potential vehicular homicide. But actually, Wardlaw
- 43:06Speaker 1: is right from Nathan's investigations, there's got to be more
- 43:10Speaker 1: than just Jessica Finn these isolated videos, And as Ashley
- 43:18Speaker 1: Wardlaw pointed out, you're going to have to have a
- 43:21Speaker 1: series of videos or a series of purported bizarre behavior
- 43:26Speaker 1: to establish a conservatorship. Jessica, I get the sense that
- 43:31Speaker 1: you're taking up for k fed. I'm going to let
- 43:33Speaker 1: you defend yourself very quickly. You know.
- 43:36Speaker 5: It's just that he's calling He's calling it like he
- 43:39Speaker 5: sees it. He lived through her first mental breakdowns and
- 43:44Speaker 5: what happened through the conservatorship. And while I totally think
- 43:48Speaker 5: that this is a cash grab, I don't. I do
- 43:50Speaker 5: think he's like literally reliving and re seeing what happened
- 43:54Speaker 5: so many years ago that got her in that conservationship.
- 43:56Speaker 1: Okay, I need to go to a shrink on that
- 43:58Speaker 1: doctor Bethany Marshall. It sounds like she, Jessica Finn, senior
- 44:03Speaker 1: investigative reporter, is saying that Federline maybe having PTSD as
- 44:09Speaker 1: he's living in his mansion counting his money. You know, Nancy,
- 44:13Speaker 1: maybe he is.
- 44:14Speaker 6: I actually agree with Jessica.
- 44:15Speaker 11: I see it from all sides, and maybe that the
- 44:18Speaker 11: timing of the book is because the boys are now
- 44:21Speaker 11: of age to give consent, have turned eighteen, So not
- 44:24Speaker 11: just about the alimony or the child support. It could
- 44:27Speaker 11: be that Brittany has escalated to a point where there
- 44:31Speaker 11: needs to be some kind of intervention so she's not
- 44:34Speaker 11: a danger to self or others.
- 44:36Speaker 1: But I watched Bethany Marshall on the way to your
- 44:40Speaker 1: office in the sky, your plush sweet, you've never gone
- 44:45Speaker 1: over the center lane before. But that's not what this is.
- 44:48Speaker 1: Next to see, that is not what this is owed her.
- 44:52Speaker 11: I don't think so, because she did it multiple times.
- 44:55Speaker 11: Nancy does a thirty minute ride from the restaurant to
- 45:00Speaker 11: her house. That was thirty minutes that she could have
- 45:03Speaker 11: killed herself or somebody else, and the paparazzi doesn't even
- 45:06Speaker 11: call nine one one. I mean, you eloquently pointed out
- 45:09Speaker 11: that they're not motivated to do it. But you know, Nancy,
- 45:12Speaker 11: if she or my patient, I would wonder if she
- 45:14Speaker 11: was still connected to reality, if she had driven everybody away,
- 45:18Speaker 11: if she's become the kind of person who's untreatable, because
- 45:23Speaker 11: she might just fire whoever has helping her and then
- 45:25Speaker 11: replace that person with.
- 45:27Speaker 1: Somebody of Ephany, you actually have me over a barrel.
- 45:32Speaker 1: There are plenty of people out there that have driven
- 45:35Speaker 1: everyone away. They don't have any friends. That does not
- 45:37Speaker 1: mean they should be under a conservatorship. I don't care
- 45:40Speaker 1: how many times she dances naked except for some pasties
- 45:43Speaker 1: on instant. Don't care. But, Elizabeth mcintur, if you're the
- 45:47Speaker 1: expert in guardianship issues, Bethany has me over a barrel. Can't.
- 45:53Speaker 1: I don't care about the knife video. I don't care
- 45:55Speaker 1: about the dog taking a poop and there's the offender
- 45:57Speaker 1: in the background the dog. I do care about a
- 46:02Speaker 1: potential vehicul homicide. I care about Britney hurting herself or
- 46:08Speaker 1: someone else. But what can we do? I mean, I
- 46:13Speaker 1: have defended Britney since day one, but when other people
- 46:18Speaker 1: aren't at risk, that changes the mix.
- 46:23Speaker 12: Elizabeth, what the court is going to look for in
- 46:26Speaker 12: a guardianship proceeding is just whether or not she has
- 46:29Speaker 12: capacity to make decisions. People with capacity make bad decisions
- 46:34Speaker 12: all the time. Right they choose to drive erradically, they
- 46:37Speaker 12: choose to yell at their children, they make decisions that
- 46:41Speaker 12: are not safe for them or safe for others. It
- 46:43Speaker 12: does not necessarily mean that they have a guardianship. The
- 46:47Speaker 12: court is going to look at is whether or not
- 46:49Speaker 12: she has the capacity to make those decisions. And if
- 46:52Speaker 12: she doesn't have the capacity to make those decisions, perhaps
- 46:55Speaker 12: a guardianship inappropriate.
- 46:57Speaker 6: But she does have the capacity and.
- 46:58Speaker 12: She's just making bad decisions, that does not require a guardianship.
- 47:03Speaker 12: And there's other options that could take that aren't the
- 47:06Speaker 12: nuclear option of a guardianship. There's certainly an intervention that
- 47:11Speaker 12: family and friends could hold, she can take other actions,
- 47:15Speaker 12: have medical powers of attorney, people to assist her in
- 47:18Speaker 12: case she isn't a crisis. But we have to remember
- 47:21Speaker 12: that a guardianship is an absolutely extreme remedy in which
- 47:25Speaker 12: we are taking away all of somebody's rights in many events,
- 47:30Speaker 12: and so we have to think about that carefully before
- 47:33Speaker 12: we start throwing around that people need guardianships or they
- 47:35Speaker 12: don't need guardianships, particularly when what we're trying to do
- 47:38Speaker 12: is control bad behavior as opposed to assist somebody who's
- 47:42Speaker 12: lacking in capacity.
- 47:44Speaker 1: Now we remember an American hero, Sergeant Frederick Coleman, Arkansas
- 47:49Speaker 1: Department Corrections, killed in the line of duty after fifteen
- 47:52Speaker 1: years serving and protecting, leaving behind his wife turned widow,
- 47:57Speaker 1: and six children and without their father. American hero Sergeant
- 48:04Speaker 1: Frederick Coleman. Nancy Grace signing off goodbye friend.
