This is the type of incident that I live for. Britney was apparently scared of the paparazzi, and drove off with her son still in her lap. While I'm sure that the paparazzi can be extremly intimidating, but to drive off while "being pursued" with your son in you lap is just incredibly stupid! At least, couldn't she have handed the baby to her bodyguard?If people were pursuing you with guns, that's a whole different story. Now if this incident had involved Reese Witherspoon, mass paparazzi death would have been the result.
People Magazine reported that on Monday, photos surfaced of Britney Spears driving her SUV in Malibu with her son, Sean Preston, sitting on her lap behind the wheel. The pictures raised obvious questions because her young son was not in a car seat.A source close to Spears explains that the singer drove to Starbucks with her bodyguard in the passenger seat and son Sean in his car seat in the back. When the bodyguard went into the store to get the drinks, Spears took Sean out of his car seat and held him in her lap while she waited. Photographers approached the car, says the source, and became aggressive. Once her bodyguard climbed back into the car, Spears drove away while still holding her son.
Spears explains her actions in an exclusive statement to People magazine:
"Today I had a horrifying, frightful encounter with the paparazzi while I was with my baby. Because of a recent incident when I was trapped in my car without my baby by a throng of paparazzi, I was terrified that this time the physically aggressive paparazzi would put both me and my baby in danger. I instinctively took measures to get my baby and me out of harm's way, but the paparazzi continued to stalk us, and took photos of us which were sold to the media. I love my child and would do anything to protect him."
Britney: 'I Love My Child' [People]
































doofus says:
puhleez.
if she "loves her baby" and would "do anything to protect him", SHE'D HAVE PUT HIM IN HIS BABY SEAT.
as we've all heard, anything not tied or strapped down acts as a projectile in an accident. I'm so sure she loves her baby so much that she'd love to see him go flying through the windsheild at 50mph.
I think a photog's lens is a LITTLE bit less dangerous than a baby not in a car seat.
gossiphown says:
I just read that Kevin Federline Cheated on Britney.
The link is on Media Take Out
Anon says:
She could have simply handed the bady to the bodyguard and HE could have secured the baby in the seat. The reason that they didn't is that they are too stupid to have even thought of that!!!
How can one "fear for their lives" because of the paparrazzi in this situation? The dumb bitch was in the car, in "park" while the bodyguard went in for the coffee,with the doors locked?? What are they going to do, break the windows and drag her and the baby out of the car?
It is frightening thought to think of the idiots that surround us!
Fugly Girl says:
Anon, what's even more frightening is the fact that these idiots are reproducing!!!
DJ says:
One word.....RETARD
another anon says:
Couldn't she and the kid have stayed at home in the first place and just sent the bodyguard for coffee??
ThrillKill says:
Only two words are necessary...
Child Endangerment! Not that we needed photographic proof that fucktards like this shouldn't reproduce, but there ya go.
Good think little Sean Preston isn't Lindsey Lohan's kid...the way she drives, he would be sailing through the windshield!
gossipwhore says:
Are you kidding me! Classic example of a poor little rich girl trying to play grown-up.. Lynn Spears please take that baby away from your daughter and raise him right and safe... Brit - you have lost all of my respect... what a stupid irresponsible move. Nothing justifys that. NOTHING,
mememme says:
So let me get this straight...I have a body guard who fetches coffee but doesn't protect me or my baby. But hey, that extra grande double mocha latte with extra whip cream sure was good.
She couldn't give the baby to the bodyguard because he was holding the coffees.
Stupid is as Stupid does.
Jacko says:
Why y'all blaming Britney? This kid is half K-Fed; my theory is, he slipped out of the baby seat to get a better shot at rifling through Mommy's purse.
PleaseThink says:
Why should she not be allowed to go get coffee with her son? I mean come on, the paparazzi needs to back off. I mean seriously, take a picture and go, why crowd around and continually take pictures of the same person. Granted she did make a bad judgement but driving with the kid, but she just reacted. Until your in the same situation you don't know what you would of done. She is a new mother so she is going to make mistakes. Do you think your mothers always did the right thing?
Marķa says:
Ha! She would rather risk her offspring flying through the windshield at 50mph that seeing that perfectly good coffee going to waste spilled allover her precious SUV. Funny...
doofus says:
another thought...
why doesn't she freakin' make the damn coffee at HOME?!
to pleasethink...I agree, she should be able to go and get coffee with her son, and yes, the paparazzi are annoying, but that is NO excuse to not have your child in a car seat when the car is in motion. she "just reacted", yes, but she reacted STUPIDLY and dangerously.
Dr. Tia says:
I believe that Britney is a good mom and like the rest of us she made a very stupid decision. Sometimes when you are in a desperate situation you do things before you even think about the consequences. I'm sure she knows what she did was not smart and I doubt she will ever do that again.
Whatever... says:
While I totally agree that the paps need to leave her alone, and she should be able to get coffee in peace...there is NO WAY IN HELL she should have driven off with that baby on her lap. First off, it's against the law. Second, didn't she learn anything from all the car accidents involving paps and other stars? Damn...what can they do while she's in the car? Take pictures of her strapping her son in the carseat? Big deal. Whatever. She's retarded. No, make that RETARDED in capitol letters.
Silasdog says:
Someone in authority needs to look into ways to neutralize the hideously damaged gene pool that has produced Britney & her hubby. I know, what I'm saying sounds horrible, but the fate of the world is at stake.
Brian says:
Maybe if magazines would STOP PAYING FOR PHOTOS LIKE THESE,incodents like this wouldn't happen.Why the hell do we need yet another photo of a celeb with their kid?
On the other hand,good luck to photogs getting shots of TomKats demon child once it is hatched.
NYCchick says:
I think Michael Jackson should babysit for Lil Cheeto. Maybe he could dangle off a hotel balcony after riding around on Brit's lap.
And talk about double standard--you won't see Gloria Allred running around pursuing child endangerment charges on Brit.
CD says:
Just as bad as the Jackson baby over the balcony. Maybe worse.
Cheesy says:
What a stupid cow.
Doesn't matter if she felt the fotogs were aggressive; a mother's instinct is *still* to keep your child safe. And a gaggle of photographers snapping away is vastly safer than driving your infant child around on your lap--ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE THE COMMON SENSE TO WEAR A SEATBELT.
She could have had the bodyguard put the baby in the back seat; she could have locked her doors and climbed into the backseat herself and sat with the child; she could have done a dozen other things. But the one thing you don't do is drive off with a gaggle of photographers following you, with a baby in your lap, if you think they are going to be pursuing you.
Seriously, what does Britney expect? She's used the press when it suits her, and this is the price she is going to have to pay.
Geesh. If you want to risk the kid's life, leave it with Kevin at home. Don't do it on the street and then tell everyone you
Tasia says:
She sure didn't look SCARED...her whit trash ass was smiling in one of the pictures (TMZ.com) so that blows all of your stupid theories out the window....scared? LMAO She's a dumb ho!
Kristy says:
The funny thing is that if you look at the rest of the sets of pics...she is laughing and shit. she doesnt look "Scared" or like she's "RUNNING" from anyone.
AugustAutumn says:
Just another Hick Ass Britney Spears story to make you all warm and fuzzy inside. From marrying someone's baby's daddy, walking in public restrooms of Gas Stations(yuck) barefoot and now driving with your kid in your lap. I have a hard enough time trying to drive with a half-eaten cheeseburger in my lap trying to eat and make it back to work before my lunch break is over. What type of crap is that? Scared or no scared, put your kid in the damn child seat ya friggin' hillbilly.
dolphin 47 says:
She does not look panicked to me! She simply is plain stupid and tried to cover it up with this even more hideous statement she gave people magazine.
mom_of_3 says:
Insane. She was more concerned about K-Fed getting the boy's ears pierced than risking his life. As a mom, I can't understand her instincts...I triple check my kids' car seat belts out of paranoia...
Jen says:
If her people are going to be spinning stories to make her look like she was an innocent victim rather than a bad mother, they shouldn't be releasing statements that Britney herself wouldn't say... I mean "physically aggressive" "instinctively" "throng", she couldn't pronounce those words let alone use them in a proper sentence. Shut up and hand the baby to the bodygaurd then.
serena says:
Just saw on TMZ that L.A. DCFS is contacting the L.A. County Sheriff regarding this "incident". Yeah!
netty says:
yeah right, nothing is going to happen to this stupid bitch. And why dont we ever see Kevin with the baby? Its weird...
me oh my says:
if you look at all the pics of her with him on her lap she looks calm cool and collective!!! how hard was it to pass the baby to the bodyguard and let him turn around and strap the baby in???the world has seen the baby already and he still looks the same.by the way he isnt even that cute!karma is coming back around to her bitchass for breaking up a family!!! also how come you never see kevins kids "happy" with her anymore??? she used those poor kids to get attention! trying to make herself look like a good mommy and now look at her!!anyone else in her situation would get some kind of punishment whether it be a ticket or something else so lets hope she gets something to teach her a lesson.(she will probly pay them off)
outsidelookingin says:
Doofus-my thought exactly! We should all chip in and buy her a coffeemaker! She certainly pulled a Michael Jackson on this one, what an idiot.
HotChick36 says:
To the author: If one of the moments you live for has anything to do with Britney Spears - you need to get a life.
alexi says:
doofus is right on with that comment. She needs a new publicist because apparently they are doing a horrible job. Does she even look like she's horrifed for her baby in anyway? It's just an excuse so she doesn't get slapped a ticket by the cops because she too ugly and overweight to get away with sweet talking the police.
Jeff says:
I swear to god - who the hell cares??? How many of us here rode around in front seats without any kind of restraint. Or even better, rode around in truck beds. Life is no fun without risk...shutup! child endangerment my ass...
Jean Jeannie says:
Children Services take that kid away. She's more dangerous than the paparazzis! Its all a game to her...playing grown-up. What a mess she's become, grow up Miss white trash!
SocialButterfly
If it were you or me, we would have our child taken away pending the completed investigation.
Why did the Bodyguard NOT put poor Sean in the carseat as she is speeding off?
Why was there a photo of her smiling? http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/43/4782/400/britney-spears-baby-lap01.jpg AND THE WINDOW half way down.
AND DID WE EVER THINK THAT THE HOT COFFEE (if any) could have spilled on poor Sean while in the front seat. Not to mention if the air bags went off, if she were to be hit or crashed in her "getaway chase". Sean could have suffocated. That is why you are to put children under the age of one in the back seat and rear facing.
Seat belts? Hello? It's the LAW.
Just shows you, anyone can give birth but it takes alot of skill, knowledge and patience to be a true Mom.
We have yet to learn the truth, but if the photographer was chasing them, roll up the windows, lock the doors, secure your child, get on the cell phone and call 911. AND MAKE THAT BODYGUARD WORK FOR HIS MONEY.
horrified says:

I rest my case...The ''bodyguard'' isn't even paying attention! He's on the phone!!
teflon says:
why don't these fucktards TINT their windows?! that's fine if she want's to go get some coffee with her child & body guard.... TINT the windows that way NO ONE can see who it is... or in the back seat get one of those window covers for kids. Man, oh MAN I can't believe this stupid bitch will reproduce again. That's it we need to test people before we let them bring a mini clone into this world.... We're over populated as it is... ADOPT IN ALL THAT'S HOLY ADOPT!!!
jbartz says:
all this is ..is proof that celebs can get away with anything! including child endangerment..
if i did this with my 10 month old i would be in jail and had her taken away from me!
concerned citizen says:
Ring, Ring, Ring...
"Hello? Social Services? I'd like to report a case of child neglect and general parental stupidity!"
susel says:
what a sicko! i heard she even wants to have more kids..somebody get a hold of her!!!
alexi says:
Maybe her ob/gym can secretly cut her tubes. We don't need anymore white-trash Britneys on this earth. I feel bad for that kid. Twenty years from now, he'll try to come out with a rap cd like his old man and shoot to fame because of his infamous drug habits.
We can clearly see that Brit is a big fat liar and doesn't give a crap about her kid (and is clearly white trash and acts like one too). So Jeff, about your "child endangerment my ass" comment...you probably live in Hicksville especially since you ride in your truck bed.
Sammi says:
I don't see why she took the baby out of the car seat while waiting for some coffee in the first place! Excuse me if someone has lready stated this. I wouldn't know because I didn't read all the posts.
jessica says:
theres nothin wrong wit that he havin fun
Jamielynn says:
I think that Britney is a great mother! I mean, i drove with my son michael the on my lap the other day and he was like, totally fine!
hellen says:
i do not know why everybody talk about her she just wanted to be with her baby she was not on drugs or alcohol she charged in that moment because she had her reasons not because she wanted to kill him people always talk more than they should.
crazy, people and brit u are the best.
