Britney Spears Exclusive Interview on X17

X17 has spoken exclusively with a source we've
witnessed to be very close to Britney -- we grabbed him as he left
Winston's Friday night with Brit and Alli (he snuck out the back door,
but X17 was there!). "Jeff" as he called himself (not Jeff Kwatinetz
who was rumored to be Brit's new manager), has been close to Britney
and/or Britney's family since before all of her recent troubles began.
And here’s what he told us ...



“Britney does NOT do drugs!,” says "Jeff" who tells
us he’s strictly against any type of drug use and against anyone
involved in any type of drug use. She might enjoy a drink or two when
she goes out but that’s it. And the lollipops? -- "They're Tootsie Roll
pops, not suckers laced with drugs or whatever Kevin's camp is claiming
-- I've never even heard of that!" She doesn't even go out on nights
when she has the kids and she becomes very sad immediately after they
leave. Her world revolves around her children -- 98% of her energy is
spent on her children and at this point her career takes a distant
second.



Britney never hated Kevin. He was "hardly even present
during most of their marriage" but for the sake of being with her
children 24/7, "Jeff" says, she would have considered staying with him.
However, in order to be a happier mom, she felt it would be best to
part ways with him. Jeff says: “Staying with a liar just to make life
easier for your children -- if that's not pure devotion for your kids,
then what is?? Britney can get any guy she wants, it's just hard to
weed out the good ones from the bad ones"



Britney is NOT worried about Kevin's battle for custody
of Sean and Jayden because she knows no one around her has evidence or
proof of her doing anything negative that would make her an unfit
mother because she has been nothing but a responsible, loving mom.
According to Jeff: "Anyone close to Britney knows that she's an angel
when it comes to being a mom and a friend."



Everyday life for Britney with her kids consists of 23.9 hours/day
focused on the boys, "mom, mom, mom constantly," NO soda in their
bottles -- in fact hardly any soda in the house, claims "Jeff." Britney
spends all day playing with the boys while they're there and allows no
strangers in the house and conducts very little work-related business
when they're around. “Her kids are everything to her, there's no doubt
about it,” he says.



The negative? -- our source says, "You mean besides
the fact she's never made me those potatoes au gratin like she
promised? -- haha!" There's nothing normal about her life right now."
With the media focused on her like they are and the constant legal
battles arising from her family, Britney is anxious over the constant
pressure and threats. “She's a young girl, who's finally attempting to
be totally independent and that's just something that the people around
her -- business people -- do not want to see happen. When someone gets
fired, they immediately decide to hop on board with all the haters.
However you never see them report anything negative when they're
employed, they just run to the tabloids and try to sell their bogus
stories after she's canned them. Any celebrity of her magnitude will
tell you how hard it is to have your life scrutinized every second of
the day, however she remains as polite as possible to the press. She
doesn’t feel as if she needs to defend herself in the media and I
agree. Just don't get in the way of her kids; she is a mother and she
is very protective of her sons, as she should be.”



On Britney's family -- our source says, "They have
issues of their own that they need to work on. They need to quit
blaming Britney.” He's totally "turned off by Britney's family at the
moment" He's also somewhat disappointed in her mom for being so naive
and trusting the people that Britney fired rather than trusting her own
daughter. It was due to the influence of Larry Rudolph on her family
that Britney was forced in to rehab and while she was there, according
to "Jeff." He also claims Promises staff administered medication on
Britney despite a record of constantly clean drug tests that showed no
traces of anything in her body. He says Promises quickly backed off
from the accusations of drug and alcohol abuse and then claimed
postpartum depression after the drug results were clean, but either way
... Britney was FORCED to stay in rehab because her family, her manager
and officials at Promises were all threatening to take away her
children unless she completed the treatment program. “I think Lynne
does love her daughter, however I also believe Britney's anger towards
her is justified. But come on, all moms and daughters have their
arguments. Britney is just upset right now, her family needs to just be
there when she's ready to call upon them."



So why'd Britney shave her head? -- Kevin taunted
Britney that even his smoking of marijuana in her presence (Jeff showed
us a pic of Kevin on his phone of Kev with a joint in his hands,
partying with his friends) would leave traces of the drug that could be
picked up by drug testing when they lived together and he threatened to
use that against her in a custody battle. After Britney shaved her
head, she begged her mom and Kevin to test the hair from the salon
however no one went to claim it. Instead, Larry and her family staged
an intervention in a hotel room with the same interventionist that put
Britney's father Jamie in rehab and also worked with her brother.
Britney begged for them to give her a drug test but eventually felt
there was no other option but to enter a treatment program to prove to
her family that she was clean and to protect herself from any unfounded
accusations in a potential custody battle. Britney met with attorneys
over a month ago regarding legal action against Promises. "I think she
certainly has a case against the rehab center, I feel what they did to
her was not only cruel and embarrassing it added more ammunition aiding
Kevin's eagerness for custody over her finances, whoops I mean
children."



"Jeff" raised the question -- why would Kevin file a civil case if he were truly worried about his kids'
welfare when they're with Britney? He could have just called Child
Protective Services and gotten any urgent claims handled that way,
however his dispute now is clearly for financial gain. Britney isn't
hiding anything. And why didn't he fight for full custody of his kids
with Shar Jackson if he loves his kids so much?"



Our source says "Britney is the most generous person you could meet
-- too generous" and that she doesn't focus on money at all. She has
supported her family financially for years and feels that they
shouldn't be so quick to judge her at times. Britney does have a good
relationship with her sister Jamie Lynne. Despite the current rocky
family emotions "Jeff" does feel that a reconciliation sometime in the
future is possible because he says, “Britney is all about family. I
just believe at the moment, she’s angry, she feels betrayed and she has
every right to feel this way. Deep down, that entire family does love
one another and it's just a matter of time before they're all together
again."



Britney and the press -- “Britney is very clever.
She's a seasoned celebrity veteran, if anyone knows how the press spins
stories, its Britney. Get it straight people, Britney doesn't go out
when her kids are home!! Come on, she has shared custody there is half
the week when she's not with her kids! The press needs to quit being so
ignorant at times. If you had 50 cameras and cameramen hovering around
you, inches away from you at all times, pushing and shoving, wardrobe
malfunctions are bound to happen.”



Britney's love life? -- "Jeff" says “Britney's like a
little girl at times" and is "shy around guys. She's young and single
and would love to find the right man; how can anyone blame her for
that. I think she forgets sometimes that she’s a mega-star, someone who
changed the face of music, an historical icon that still has a lot to
learn and a lot more still to offer."



Whew! This is the interview every magazine is trying to get, but you have it here, exclusively on X17online.com !
"Jeff" has turned down countless offers rumored to be over $500,000 to
tell this story but decided to speak directly to X17 outside the club
(after a little prodding!). He wasn’t interested in money, just in
setting the record straight.
