Britney
Spears Begged Her Dad to Get Her Out of Hospital
2/6/08
A frantic Britney Spears called her father Jamie while he was catering
a large Super Bowl party on Sunday (03Feb08) and begged him to get her out
of hospital.
The singer had just learned she would be in the psychiatric ward at
UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles for 14 days, when she desperately
called her father, who was handed control of her legal and financial
affairs on Friday (01Feb08).
A sleep-deprived Spears was admitted to the hospital on a 72-hour
psychiatric hold early on Thursday (31Jan08) on the advice of her personal
psychiatrist.
In a new declaration signed by Jamie Spears, and obtained by website
TMZ, her father claims he failed to visit his daughter on Sunday because
he was working, stating, "I am a cook, and I was catering a large
Super Bowl party."
So desperate Britney tracked him down on his cell phone "at least
four times" and begged him to take her out of hospital.
Jamie adds, "She called me about every 20 minutes. (She said),
`Daddy, what are you doing?' I told her I was cooking. Britney said, 'What
are you doing cooking, daddy? Why are you not here with me?' I told her,
'Baby, daddy's got to work.'"
He claims Britney then asked him to "hurry up and get here...
because you gotta get me out of here," before asking him to bring her
some vanilla ice cream when he visited her that evening.
In his new declaration, Jamie also claims that even his daughter has
started to turn against her manager/companion Sam Lutfi, who was served
with a restraining order on Friday (01Feb08) and instructed to stay away
from the Spears family.
He adds, "Britney told me that there was some property of hers
that Sam Lutfi had wrongfully taken. She asked me to help get it back. I
told her that I would."
