Britney Spears Has 'Secret Breakdown'

Britney Spears had a secret breakdown after her 17-year-old sister Jamie Lynn gave birth last month, it has been claimed.

According to Britain'sNow magazine, after Britney saw her new niece, Maddie, in McComb, Mississippi, she cut her trip short and flew back to LA, where she was pictured in floods of tears.

And for the next two days, says the publication, Britney's dad Jamie -- who is staying with the troubled star because he's in control of all her affairs -- became more anxious about his daughter's deteriorating state.

A source says Britney was "a bit dazed and distant", wouldn’t answer any of her dad's questions and "had no enthusiasm for anything".

And on June 21, at around 9.30pm, Jamie found his daughter naked on the bathroom floor, crying hysterically and mumbling to herself about wanting a baby girl.

Jamie rang the doctor, who rushed to Britney's side and diagnosed a breakdown.

A source says, "Seeing her little sister give birth was too much for Britney. It made her realize what a mess she’s in. She’s insanely jealous of Jamie Lynn having a girl because she’s always been desperate for a daughter.

'Jamie found her sobbing her heart out and repeating: 'It’s not fair, Dad, it's not fair.'

"He sat with her, cuddled her and stroked her hair. Then he got her some clothes and helped her into the bedroom before calling the doctor, who ordered her to rest.

"They bumped up her Melleril and Ativan because of the drama she was creating."
