Britney Spears’ split with Justin
Timberlake a decade ago was the
beginning of her meltdown, a family attorney said during the defamation and breach-of-contract case brought against the singer and her parents by her ex-manager Sam Lutfi.
The estranged couple split over a decade ago after which Spears, 30, got married twice and suffered a major meltdown in 2008 that almost ended her career, it was reported. “They had a big relationship, and it ended painfully. In 2003 her parents noticed that she had changed over the breakup of her and Justin and noticed she was depressed…. “[Britney] went to Vegas and got married to a childhood friend for 55 hours and they saw that she was becoming distant with her parents and become concerned she was using illegal substances,” said lawyer Leon Gladstone defending her parents Jamie and Lynne. Spears has been under a conservatorship controlled by her father since the breakdown and Gladstone said his client has done everything he can to protect the star, even when it caused problems in their family.
