Britney Spears had a "shocking slapfest" with her mother, it has been reported.
The 'Toxic' singer flew into a rage when her mother Lynne arrived at her house uninvited and started attacking Britney's parenting skills last month.
A source told America's Star magazine: "Lynne barged into the house and insisted on taking the kids out to spend some private time with them. She didn't ask or suggest, she demanded. Then she began denigrating Britney's mothering skills and losing her temper at the same time. Britney and Lynne had a shocking slapfest. It left Lynne shaken and Britney more determined than ever to cut her mother out of her life for good."
The physical fight is believed to have taken place just days after Britney allegedly handed Lynne a legal order banning her from seeing her grandsons, 22-month-old Sean Preston and 10-month-old Jayden James, while she is on medication. Lynne is allegedly considering filing a countersuit.
Britney also reportedly gave Lynne an angry poem, in which she claims she has "no mom". Lynne is said to be concerned her 25-year-old daughter is suffering from depression and believes prescribed medication could help her.
The source added: "Despite their problems, Lynne cares deeply for Britney and wants to find a way to help her. She thinks antidepressant drugs may be the answer. Lynne feels Britney has severe depression issues, and they are in large part the cause of her apparent manic behaviour and past problems with alcohol." |
