Britney vs. Spears

There's other people that tried to help. They paid a heavy price.

The very first time I was assigned to Britney,

she was in the middle of this divorce with Kevin.

Then, I was working for an agency, okay? You know, they gave me the address.

They said, "Sit outside the house, when she comes out, follow her."

My job was to take pictures of her, right.

That period, I was a photographer, and, you know, I was good at it.

I excelled, I learned the job real quick.

This is a job for adrenaline junkies,

and those with a gambling addiction.

There's nothing sexier than waking up and they say,

"This is your assignment." You open it up and don't know who it is.

Male, female, actor, singer, sports celebrity.

So as a photographer,

you can get a few hundred thousand dollars for a picture of Britney.

One night, the agency calls and tells me the gas station that Britney's at.

I drive down there.

At the gas station, everyone's taking pictures.

She was having problems with the gas.

I asked Britney, "Can I help you?"

So I start doing it.

Then one day a photographer calls me and says, "Britney is asking for you."

"What do you mean, she's asking?"

Then another photographer calls me who doesn't know the first photographer.

And he's like, "Hey, bro. Britney's asking for you."

- Where's...? You, come here. - Back it up.

She felt better if I was present.

She felt safer. Those are her words, not mine.

Where's Adnan?

He's off.

He's off today.

I'll let him know.

It was a very simple, very easy relationship, you know?

But between her fans and everybody else, it was like I was the bad guy.

Like that Disney story, you always want the Prince Charming to be

as equally as attractive and equally as beautiful and equally as charming.

We didn't have that balance.

There was this multi-millionaire and me.

And then there was this famous girl, and then there was me.

There was this white girl, and there was me.

There were nights where she was up, and I had to stay up with her.

And it's hard to stay up for three days, it's hard,

but you have that fear, and it's a very real fear,

that if anything happens to her, they're just gonna blame you.

It's just so much easier to blame you.

She was taking Adderall.

I'm sure x-amount of millions of people are taking Adderall.

But these are the things that become volatile and deadly weapons

when you're going through a child custody case.

What was apparent to me during this divorce with Kevin was,

you know, she never had one person she could trust, not one.

Not Mom, not Dad, not friends, not her sister.

Anybody.

And that's a very scary, dark place to be.

Kevin is concerned that the more time that the children are with him,

he feels the more insulated they are from...

risks that would otherwise be constantly visited upon them.

People that care about the children will provide information

that is relevant to their best interest.

She's crazy.
