Britney Spears is one of the biggest pop stars in music. Love her or hate her, there’s no doubt that she knows how to attract attention. Britney was on top of the world, breaking records but it all came crashing down in 2007. You may be wondering when and how it all happened. It all started on February 18,2007. She made the drastic decision to shave all her hair off. Two days later, she checked herself into Promises Malibu Alcohol and Drug Rehab Treatment Facility. Freshman Amanda Roman states, “that [she] thinks it’s good that Brittnety is finally getting help and sorting out her issues, hopefully it will last.” However, she wouldn’t last a day there. She rechecked herself in and was able to complete the program in March. Additionally, at this time she was dealing with a child custody battle with her ex Kevin. In May 2007, Britney opened up to her fans about her personal struggles. She said “Recently, I was sent to a very humbling place called rehab. I truly hit rock bottom.” The next update didn’t come until July 2007. Kevin and Britney’s divorce was finalized on July 30. Britney believed that she got married for the wrong reasons. August was maybe the hardest month for Britney. She and Kevin were still fighting about custody and she got into a car accident. This is when her life started to spiral downhill. She fled the scene and got charged with two hit and run counts. In September 2007, Britney tried to focus on music to distract herself. She performed at the MTV Video Music Awards but her performance didn’t go as planned. In October 2007, a judge ordered Britney to hand Sean and Jayden (her sons) over to Kevin. Furthermore, her bodyguard accused her of abusing her kids. An investigation started to look into these claims. Just proving how unrealistic stardom and popularity is in the real world it will only get you so far.
