There was some confusion yesterday over how much additional visitation Britney was granted with her two boys, Sean Preston, two and 1/2, and Jayden James, one and 1/2. Some reports had her being granted overnight visits after a positive court hearing, but OK! Magazine clarifies that it hasn’t happened yet. They have a source that says she’s been granted more supervised time on a trial basis to show the court that the boys are well adjusted and that they are handling the transition well. They say it’s not about how Britney behaves around them so much as how they’re coping with seeing her again:
Reports that the pop superstar will get overnight visits with her boys within the month, and that 50/50 custody with K-Fed is imminent are false, sources close to the case confirm to OK!.
“Britney will not get automatic overnights in the future,” the insider tells OK! exclusively. “Right now, the amount of time she gets for her day visits has been increased, but no overnights are planned.”
According to the source, more information is needed before the issue of overnight visits is even considered.
“The court needs to see how this first step goes for a significant amount of time,” explains the insider, adding that things won’t be able to move forward until after a review of this latest expansion. “It’s not about how well she does with the boys,” the source said, “But how well the boys do. That’s what it’s all about.”
[From OK! Magazine]
TMZ is more optimistic about Britney’s chances of regaining overnight privileges with the boys. They claim to have the specifics that she gets “three days of supervised visitation per week,” and that they have sources that say that “within a month” she’ll have overnight visitation.
The commissioner is said to have been “extremely impressed” by how much she’s changed and is taking this issue seriously. It seems to be a move in the right direction to let her see more of her children along with easing them into it so it’s not so much of a change to be with their mother.
Britney was controlled, drugged and abused by a man who weaseled himself into her life. She lost custody of her boys when Sam Lutfi was at the height of his influence over her, and he should be held criminally responsible for the way he abused her. I know those cases are difficult if not impossible to prove, but this guy needs to go jail. Britney has mental health issues and an arguable amount of personal responsibility for what happened - she is notoriously flaky and self-centered, but this is a guy who used to stalk her. He took over her finances, home, and life, and even bragged to her mother about how he would routinely drug her food. She flipped out in large part because she was over medicated against her will along with having a predisposition to mental illness. It’s just a shame that she wasn’t able to say no to the guy, probably because her family taught her to tow the line and work her ass off for them all her life.
Thanks to WENN for these photos of Britney outside the court yesterday and at a recording studio later last night.

But the weave improves daily. Small steps, mairead, small steps.

I completely agree with your thoughts on Lutfi. What a sick bastard. Lets not forget Alli Sims, also, who completely enabled this behavior. I’m glad to see those people out of her life and that she is slowly getting better.

Ok, the boots ARE bad, but they’re clean and new. And her shirt is buttoned up. And they’re not crotchless jeans. That can’t be bad.
Glad she’s looking better and seemingly getting better and if the judge is ‘extremely impressed’ (I know it’s a relative thing here), then good for her. Keep it up!

Hats off to britney! Keep it up! And Happy Mother’s Day!

i disagree that sam lufti should be held criminally responsible for abusing britney. people need to take responsibility for themselves. there are always going to be toxic people that try to insinuate themselves into any one person’s life at any time. britney is an adult, no matter her maturity level - and should be more responsible for herself. if she’s got mental illness, her family should have taken control earlier. people like sam lufti are of course going to push as far as they can.

Good parent, ugly boots?????? Apples and oranges……………… LMAO!
Idiot!

I agree with you, CiCi. Everyone talks about Britney like she’s ten years old. While I’ll concede that we all fall prey to bad influences at times throughout our lives, allowing some douche to come in and completely take over is another matter entirely. Grow the hell up.
And I don’t buy this mental illness bullshit, either. She was a junkie with unlimited financial resources and no one to reel her in. Of course she was going to act like a crazy bitch!

Does this mean that her parents will always have to be in control if she is to have greater custody? It seems that she is not ready yet. If and when her parents leave, then they should make the decision. Unless they plan on giving custody to them.
Ms. Spears is not a child, she is way past that, but she is being treated like one. Did I miss something or is this just a bit strange. Why such special treatment for this “Woman”.

Cici, Please, are you guys saying that he shouldn’t be charged at all?
I disagree.
yes, Britney is an Adult. however- he DRUGGED HER FOOD…how can she say no to that? not eat? It’s not like she could go out to eat without him- he was everywhere.
I gotta say, people who think it’s the victims fault/ victims family’s family kinda make me sick- they are the reason that it is so hard to charge people like Sam Lufi.Im not saying that Brit isnt getting special treatment, because she is- but VICTIMS need special treatment, so they can adjust.
sorry if im outta line her, it just really bothers me.

The New Brown Boots of Mental Illness have been noted. Stay tuned.

Personal responsibility is an interesting issue. If someone is in a vulnerable state ala ‘mental health issues’ small dependancies can quickly snowball into a much bigger situation.
U c it in everyday relationships and even (dare i say it) personality cults. Some people are very good at manipulating others add to that being sick and being vulnerable you can find yourself in a situation that you cant get out of hand- and asking for help is not always easy. I know its hard for me to ask my parents for help and admit I was wrong.As for her parents stepping in earlier - i think they should have, BUT, its likely that Britney or Sam explained away her behaviours convincingly for a very long time. And if they were estranged it would have been hard to get access to Brit. My 2 cents.

she needs some positive friends who are mommys that can help her out like kimora, she does so much but still manages time for her kids and who seems to have pretty good balance, i hope you get better britney!
