News of the World talked to Tony Barretto recently and he had plenty to say about his time working with Britney Spears. He talked about her drug habits, her strange behavior, her bad spending habits, and time spent with the kids. Tony was fired back in May, but he left service with plenty of great stories to tell. Below are some of the most amusing quotes about Britney from that interview.
On her Erratic Behavior
“She was in a different world most of the time. I don’t think she even knew my name because she only ever called me ‘baby’ or ‘honey’.”
“As well as talking in strange voices to the children Britney would talk in strange made-up languages to me too. And the expression in her face was always deadly serious. One time I found her out by the trash. She was mumbling and talking a whole made-up language. I couldn’t understand a word of it. It was like something from a different language, like she was trying to be someone else. It was quite scary. She was very confused.”
On giving Employee Bonuses
“We were at a party in Teddy’s club in LA one night and I was standing by the dance floor keeping an eye on the people around her. All of a sudden she came up behind me and started rubbing herself on me. She rubbed her breasts on me and ran her hands provocatively up and down my back. I turned around, and she then smiled at me. Over my earpiece, the other bodyguard told me, ‘Dance with her’. I replied, ‘Are you kidding?’ He just snapped back, ‘She wants you to dance’. So I found myself dancing away with her. She was in a skimpy dress, bumping and grinding into me. At one point, she spun round and pushed her bottom into my groin. It was very embarrassing because she doesn’t wear knickers. But the weird thing is she does buy knickers because I’ve seen her. So I don’t know what she does with them.”
On Suicidal Behavior
“I arrived at Britney’s home one day to find the most horrible atmosphere. She was screaming and sobbing in her room—and what made us all even more nervous was that she had sent her nanny home and told her PA Alli to pack her bags. As Alli was leaving, she told us, ‘She’s told me to leave. It’s in your hands now. Look after the kids’. I remember the other bodyguard told me, ‘Britney’s shutting down. I’ve seen her acting suicidal before. It was just before she shaved all her hair off. He also told me to keep an eye on the kids and, whatever happened, not to let them near the swimming pool. It was about 2pm. All I could do was keep checking on the pool. All sorts of things were going through my mind. One of those was to quit my job. It was all getting too much. I was genuinely scared she would hurt herself.”
On her Daily Schedule
“After getting up at lunchtime and drinking her Starbucks coffee, she goes to a tanning shop in Bel Air, where she spends ten minutes on a UV bed every day. After that she usually eats sushi for lunch or bowls of Special K. We were always having to go out to get her Special K. And she downs can after can of Red Bull or cola. She drinks three Red Bulls an hour. That completes her daily routine.”
Britney was obsessed about how good she looked and what she was wearing. In fact, she made her bodyguards take pictures of her in what she was wearing each day. Tony says, “She seemed to want to capture every outfit she wore. She loves dressing up in weird wigs and outfits. Every day she’d ask us all what we thought about what she was wearing. It really mattered to her. She’d say, ‘Do you think I look nice, y’all?’ We’d all tell her ‘yes’—because we didn’t want to risk putting our jobs on the line.”
On Stalkers
“I was pretty shocked to discover the number of stalkers she has. She would get two letters a day from stalkers—and some of them were way out there. She attracts some pretty sick types. What she needs more than anything is her family round her. I never ever met or saw her mother or sister Jamie Lynn because she had fallen out with them. She never mentioned their names ever. But when I first started work, one of the most important directives I was given was, ‘My dad is NOT to be on this property’. That was made very clear.”
On her Fans
“Britney absolutely hates anyone touching her—even her bodyguards when we are leading her to safety.” It’s not just the bodyguards though she also hates her fans touching her. She hates when fans ask her for autographs and pictures. Tony said: “If that happens, there is the potential for us ALL to have a bad day because it puts her in such a bad mood.”
