Dr. Drew: Britney Spears "Started to Unravel" When She Met K-Fed

By Us MagazineJuly 21, 2008, 2:31 pm PDT
Britney Spears' fall can be traced back to her introduction to ex-husband Kevin Federline, Dr. Drew Pinsky explains in the new E! True Hollywood Story of her life, premiering Friday, July 25 at ET/PT.

"If you take Britney's life and put a moment in time where things started getting bad, it's the moment she got involved with Kevin Federline," Pinsky opines.

"That's when things started to unravel," he adds.

Spears, now 26, seems to have bounced back from her low, when she was hospitalized in January following a dramatic custody dispute.

On Saturday, the singer made a surprise appearance at a fundraiser for Jenny McCarthy's autism charity Generation Rescue in Los Angeles.

Spears "definitely looked happy," a witness tells Us. "She was clapping and smiling a lot."

It was Spears' first public outing since reaching a custody agreement with Federline, 30, last week.

While Federline gets sole custody, Spears gets three visits a week from Sean Preston, 2 1/2, and Jayden James, 1 1/2, including two overnights.

See photos of Britney Spears and her boys.

If all goes well, she could have her boys roughly 40 percent of the time, her attorney, Laura Wasser, has said.

Wasser told the Associated Press the "difference" in Spears "from the beginning of this year to now is astonishing."

Spears is spending her summer recording a new album.

    Dr. drew has it all wrong.....remember it was Kevin that got the kids and became the real parent.......their marriage would have work if she had the tools to cope with her problems and balance them out. Her problems started long ago and got worse when she got pregant and her body changed. She never did the work to make things better until she was out of control and was forced to.

    I do think her "fall" started with K-fed. He is bad news. I think he was only out for the so-called fame and fortune and once he got that with Brit he dragged her down.

    Dr Drew should go back further than that. She started to unravel when her mom allowed her at age 13 to shake her hips and dress like a stripper. Her mom didnt protect her at a very vulnerable age.

    being with the wrong person will cause more drama than it's worth not only for the person involved, but those around the couple. i hope that she'll be much wiser with picking out her next guy (assuming she dates again), and listen to friends and family when they say something's wrong with them.

    Dr. Drew just stated the obvious. Everyone knew it was a big mistake for her to get involved with kFed. Her parents tried to talk her out of it but love is blind. But look at all the women golddiggers. No different than what he is and has done to her at a very young age. Shameless.
