It is very sad. I know people are blaming her and she did do this to herself, but an addiction and mental issues are both real things. Now she can never get the help she needed. I feel for her kids.

Britney Spears Asks That Issues with Sons 'Remain Private' as Kevin Federline Shares Videos amid Feud On Wednesday, Spears, 40, called her two sons Sean Preston, 16, and Jayden James, 15, "hateful" and claimed they have been ignoring her in a since-deleted Instagram post. "I know that teenagers are just hard to deal with at that age ... but COME ON, there's being rude then there's being HATEFUL ... they would visit me, walk in the door, go straight to their room and lock the door !!!" she wrote. "I'm like why come visit me if they don't even visit me !!! But I never said that because I have to be kind !!!" She concluded her Instagram post by writing, "It breaks my heart because it seems to me that these days, cruelty does in fact win, although it's not about winning or losing !!! But I can't process how I dedicated 20 years of my life to those kids ... everything was about them !!! For them to knock the breath out of me." In response to Spears' post, Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, told TMZ the kids have chosen to keep their distance from the singer of their own accord. Britney Spears, Sam Asghari React to Kevin Federline's Claims That Her 2 Sons Don't Want to See Her Later on Wednesday, Federline, 44, posted a series of edited videos from four years ago of the singer appearing to argue with the boys to his Instagram account. In the caption, he said that he and the boys decided "as a family" to share the clips and that "the lies have to stop."
This coming from the same guy that doesn't appear to be employed and has supported his wife and kids fully on Britney's child support to her boys. Have a seat, Kevin. You're embarrassing
I agree with you Amy. I will tell you raising teenagers in this day and age isn't easy. Most of them have this sense of entitlement. Working in retail I see these kids all the time and so many of them are just spoiled brats. I realize Brittany has her issues. Federline has it made in the shade, sit down and shut up.

This exactly. It hurts my heart to see so many people just being hateful towards her. Yes, what she did was wrong and should not have happened. It did. Addiction is an awful disease. It is not easy to get past and it does a number on you. These people act like all you have to do is stop. That simple. Mental issues on top of addiction makes it all that much worse. The addiction can make the mental issues worse. She is still a human being.

Thank you for saying this. I recall her struggles because they're a part of social history and i feel for her. It makes me very sad that this is where things are. My thoughts are with her boys. 💜

I thought she wanted out. I honestly feel she couldn't of coped with the aftermath of this last accident, and what it would of entailed. I hope Anne's soul is at rest, and her boys can take solace in that. She wanted to give the ultimate gift, the gift of her organs, I hope that happens.

Gee, this is just so sad. I think Anne's son with James Tupper is around 12 or so. Too young to lose his mom. Her adult son is 20 from what I've read. What a heartbreak for those who loved her.
ETA: Anne's son with James Tupper is 13.

She clearly had substance abuse problems for a long time and I can feel sympathy for that part, but she also made the choice to get behind the wheel of a vehicle and THAT is what I do blame her for. It's a terribly sad situation, but I feel saddest for her children and for her victim, who is lucky to be alive. James Tupper has always struck me as a good guy (although I questioned why he'd get involved with AH, who's always been erratic), so I hope he's able to provide some stability for their young son. There's never a good time to lose your mother, but 13 strikes me as a really BAD time.

They are even weaker in Canada. Someone can kill a whole family, get out on time served, and drive drunk once again. I have never understood why judges are so lenient on drunk drivers even those who have killed people. That it is OK, they need to learn from the experience and even if they kill again it's a slap on the wrist as if driving drunk was out of their control so they are not responsible.

This post has nothing to do with Celebrities but I just wanted to comment on Judges and sentencing of drunk drivers. There was a horrific car accident August 4th in Los Angeles the day before Anne H’s accident. This woman, a nurse, 37, was driving drunk, 1pm in the afternoon, 90 mph, smashed into several cars killing SIX people. At 90 mph as she slammed into all the cars she split the cars in half killing people instantly. The drunk driver survived with minor scratches. The Judge set her bail at 9 MILLION DOLLARS! And that she is facing 90 YEARS IN JAIL.

momrek06 - I think the judge is being particularly harsh because that woman has a pretty horrifying history of bad driving. Was it 13 prior accidents? Someone in my life who I loved got two DUIs. Luckily, he didn't hurt himself or, more importantly, anyone else, but I was still furious with him and thought him losing his license (I can't remember for how long - it was at least a year) was the least he should have gotten. I'll be curious to see if the woman whose house burned down - or, rather, I guess the tenant who lost everything she owned AND the woman who owned the house, so two women - sue AH's estate. I won't be surprised if that happens.

I won't be surprised if that happens. Critical , quite frankly I was shocked at that bail set at 9 billion but then I thought it was due to the fact the driver (as the court stated) murdered 6 people. The lady that was 6 months pregnant actually had her baby ripped out of her due to the intensity of the crash. How absolutely horrifying for her family. Also when the driver was being arraigned she kept yelling out " I just want to go home, let me go home" so I think there were alot of circumstances why bail was set so high. I doubt she will ever have an opportunity to drive again anyway due to the fact she will unlikely be free to ever drive again. I did read she has 13 prior accidents. How did she even have a license....... 13 and she was STILL driving? We may find out she has been driving with an expired driver's license OR she is someone that had no license. As far as the tenant at the home Anne H crashed into .... there is a GOFUNDME account set up for her and I saw the other day it was already passed the goal. people.com/tv/woman-who-lost-house-anne-heche-car-crash-extremely-fortunate-be-alive-neighbor-says/

I've read that the driver is a traveling nurse from Texas who was working at the Kaiser Hospital in that part of LA. Perhaps the 13 priors are from TX where they MAY be more lenient in sentencing. SPECULATION on my part.

How bizarre is this what I am about to post ...... this is in relation to ANNE HECHE. Hidden Hills socialite Rebecca Grossman to face murder trial in crash that killed 2 boyswww.latimes.com/california/story/2022-05-05/rebecca-grossman-to-face-murder-trial-in-crash-that-killed-2-boysA Hidden Hills socialite must stand trial on murder charges in the deaths of two boys, a judge decided Thursday after hearing testimony that Rebecca Grossman struck and killed two little boys who were in a crosswalk while Grossman was drunk driving more than 70 mph and continued driving leaving the scene of accident. 58-year-old Roberta Grossman is the co-founder of the Grossman Burn Foundation with her husband, Dr. Peter Grossman. His family created the renowned medical facility. Earlier in the hearing, another sheriff’s deputy testified that Rebecca Grossman was ticketed for speeding on a nearby canyon road months before the fatal crash. Grossman has no convictions for reckless driving or DUI. “We have two speeding tickets in this case,” attorney said, referring to Grossman’s driving history. “This isn’t a case of thoughtlessness, but selfishness,” Gould (victim's attorney) countered. “How could she not know driving at 81 mph ... was extremely dangerous?” Grossman faces 34 years to life in prison if convicted. She has pleaded not guilty and has been out of jail for 18 months on $2-million bail. Judge Samuels ordered her to return to court May 20 and gave her permission to drive again for the first time in over a year. Trial was delayed and is set for Aug. 23 at Van Nuys Courthouse. GROSSMAN BURN FOUNDATION is where Anne Heche has been since the accident.

Regarding the Britney/Kevin feud: The boys filmed their mother around the same time Kevin petitioned the conservancy to give him more money so I seriously doubt those tapes came from an altruistic place. It's interesting how he's been quiet all these years and then right before his ex goes to court against her father and the others involved in the conservatorship he does an interview with a notorious tabloid with deep pockets because he feels like the family "have been hurt" and THEN posts a video with Britney screaming about her son's bare feet? Plus he's now saying that Jaime is the man even though he hit one of the boys and got a restraining order against him? Considering how:
1. Neither he nor his wife works, nor have they in a long time.
2. That 30k/month that Kevin is getting for the two boys is paying for him, his wife, child support for his eldest two, and supports his younger two children as well.
3. The eldest of the two boys will be turning 18 next year and the other child a year after that, so that big child support check is going to stop soon.
Looks like someone is either looking at their well running dry, or he was complicit in the conservatorship to get those kids and it will all be coming out in the wash soon.
So glad Britney has a decent lawyer who was able to shut this down. Another thing to consider is that according to the tabloid reporter who interviewed the family she said that a lot of what Kevin said was left on the cutting room floor because it was too explosive and cruel to everyone concerned, and for a tabloid to say that it's a lot.

In a sad attempt to NOT look like he only dates women with a sell-by date of 24 years Leonardo DeCaprio is now apparently going after Gigi Hadid (27, one child). Someone's been spending a lot of energy putting this news out to gossip sites, plus they've also been spotted together at a club. Girl, run; don't be part of some guy's image rehabilitation project!

Someone's been spending a lot of energy putting this news out to gossip sites, plus they've also been spotted together at a club. Girl, run; don't be part of some guy's image rehabilitation project! I thought I saw something about her turning him down. I hope that's true. It could either he his people putting that news out OR it could be her mom, who seems to always be working an angle to get her daughters more attention.
I think when these guys date very young women (18-23-ish) while they're in their 30s, it's mildly weird and smacks of immaturity. When they get to their late-30s and early-40s, it's embarrassing. Into the late-40s and beyond, it becomes creepy.
Like, what it is about him that makes him incapable of relating to women his own age.....or are they not interested in him? That whole P*ssy Posse with his buddies would be off-putting for most grown adult women. Maybe young girls think it's cool to date a movie star, but he's reaching the age when girls those age will just think, "Ew, he's old."

He's the personification of the old saying "he gets older while his girlfriends stay the same age" and it's sad. Madonna has the same issue out here messing with these 20 year old boys while she's in her 60s. I don't want to knock people's boats but when you have children older than your bfs it's time to take a step back. I also think that since in women the brain isn't fully developed until around 25 (when you seriously start questioning things) some men prefer young women who are...more pliable. Leo's been gross for a very long time when people noticed that he dumps his GFs when they turn 24, and he knew his last gf from when she was 12. :/ I hope Gigi runs from this because she deserves better.

I guess Tom Brady going back on his agreement to retire after last season and spend time with his family was Giselle's last straw. Apparently they've been living separate for a couple of months now, and both parties have been spotted seeing various divorce attorneys recently. I think there's a lot at fault here but the pandemic made a lot of people realize they just didn't like/have anything in common with/had outgrown their partner.Some people grew closer to their partners while other couples...well, let's just say any cracks in the relationship got much worse. Personally, I think Tom tried that stay at home life, decided he didn't like it for whatever reason, and signed back up for another season. It's not been a secret that Giselle sacrificed a lot while married to him (moving from Brazil's temperate climate to Boston, dealing with crappy fans, etc) and she was probably looking forward to having her husband back.

I've seen a few headlines today about divorce lawyers. Frankly, I think he's awful. The poster child for white privilege - all that "I don't really pay attention to politics. I like to stay positive" cr@p Plus, didn't he cheat on Bridget Moynahan while she was pregnant? That's a stand up guy Run, Giselle! RUN! Get your career back!

Yeah, Critical, both Bridget and Giselle were preggers at just about the same time.
I also heard that Giselle was just fed up with Tom missing all the family time - birthdays, holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years Day/Eve, etc. Sometimes all the perks of being a football wife mean nothing compared to spending time with the fam. Maybe he is just addicted to all the adulation of the fans and the media.
