"I Saw Brittney Do Drugs"
Written by CLYDE on 12:22 PMNow that she's safely ensconced within the confines of a treatment center in Malibu, acquaintances are coming out in droves claiming they've witnessed Britney Spears' drug use.
For the first time, people who know Britney are speaking on the record about her drug use from as far back as 2003.
"When I was around her, she took Ecstasy," Amanda Alexander, the sister of Britney's first husband, Jason, tells In Touch Weekly. Amanda, 21, says she also witnessed the singer using cocaine in their hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana.
Another hometown friend, Kent Smith, who's known Britney for "at least 10 years," says he partied with her three years ago at Club 360 in New Orleans. "She does like to party," Kent tells In Touch. "I've been there when she's done Ecstasy and cocaine."
Toward the end of her marriage to Kevin Federline, a major stoner, Britney returned to using hardcore drugs.
According to a pal, the couple got into a huge fight on the night of his CD release party last Halloween. "Kevin was mad because he knew she was high on coke," a source tells In Touch.
"The divorce really threw her into a deep depression," says a friend. "She felt like a failure and wanted to show everyone how desirable she still is."
In addition to the cocaine and ecstasy, Spears was also drinking heavily and taking lots of prescription pills, like Paxil (an antidepressant) and Xanax (for anxiety).
Unfortunately, the partying overtook the parenting. "So many people love Britney," an insider says. "They're all in crisis mode." Her mom has resorted to tough love, even taking away her credit cards while her dad, Jamie, a recovering alcoholic, is also "trying to get her on track," says a pal.
Thankfully, for now, Britney is on the right track and in rehab.
Hopefully she will use this time away from the spotlight wisely, unlike certain other celebrity rehabers.
Get well Brit.
