Apparently Britney Spears told her friends (she has friends?) that she didn’t attend her child custody court hearing this week because she was too scarred of paparazzi. But Page Six claims the singer was given a choice of entering the courthouse through an underground tunnel. Instead, Britney decided she was hungry and went to lunch.
I ask all of the mothers out there… if there was a chance of losing custody and even visitation rights of your children, would paparazzi stop you from getting into that courthouse? I bet most of you would bulldoze your way through anyone and everyone and break down the door to get into that room. But why does Britney care about those old kids? She can make new ones with her new boyfriend (and former paparazzi stalker) Adnan.
She arrived in a black SUV driven by pal Sam Lutfi at 1:25, five minutes before her custody hearing was set to resume. But when she wouldn’t budge, Brit’s attorneys Anne Kiley and Tara Scott were summoned out of the court’s cafeteria down to the underground parking garage where the pop singer was safely ensconced, in order to coax her out of the car and upstairs.
There, the lawyers tried in vain to reason with the 26-year-old mom of two, calling her chances of regaining visitation with sons Sean and Jayden “slim and bleak” unless she testified. Sam encouraged her as well, telling the pop wreck to “just get it over with.” When Brit couldn’t make up her mind, Adnan told her — “we could just drive around for a few minutes and figure it out.”
With the time approaching 1:45, our source says Kiley and Scott gave up on Britney and went back to the hearing. Spears then had Sam drive around the block and stop back at the court, where she got out of the car only to be scared right back in by the press gathered outside.
As we reported yesterday, Anne Kiley was spotted on a frustrating phone call during a brief recess at around 2:15. A source tells us she was talking to Britney, who was at that point enjoying a chicken caesar at the Gaucho Grill. In the courthouse, the lawyer shook her head and shrugged her shoulders — she was trying one last time to get Brit to come back, our spy says. Brit’s reply? She was “just over it” and “wasn’t going to come back, period.”
