Britney Spears was released - probably against doctors’ advice - from Cedars-Sinai Hospital in La-La Land yesterday with TV host Dr. Phil at her side, according to several gossip Web sites.
The trainwrecktastic pop star was admitted to the hospital for psychological evaluation after a standoff with police at her Beverly Hills home. She reportedly locked herself and young son Jayden James, 15 months, in a bathroom. Spears was placed on a “5150 hold,” meaning medical workers determined she presented a threat to herself or others. The order allowed the hospital to keep her against her will for up to 72 hours.
“Entertainment Tonight” reported that Spears escaped the paparazzi by exiting the hospital through an underground tunnel with Dr. Phil.
Perezhilton.com quoted a hospital source saying that Spears was medicated at the hospital. The source said hospital personnel could not hold her once she ceased to be a risk. She likely left against medical advice, the site said.
According to celebrity gossip site TMZ, Spears most likely suffers from bipolar disorder and was probably not under the influence, as was suspected at the time of Thursday night’s incident.
The most recent chapter in Spears’ saga began around 8:30 Thursday night when she refused to hand over sons Jayden James and Sean Preston, 2, after a visit. Paramedics rolled the hysterical Spears out of her home on a gurney.
A source told Usmagazine.com that Brit had to be strapped to the gurney and that she fluctuated between laughter and hysterics, leading police to believe she was under the influence of an unknown substance.
Spears’ ex-hubby Kevin Federline has been granted sole physical and legal custody of the boys.
