"When Larry Rudolph talked Britney into going into rehab, he was doing what her mother, father and team of professionals with over 100 years of experience knew needed to be done. She was out of control. Larry was the one chosen by the team to roll up his sleeves and deliver the message, to help save her life.The Spears family would like to publicly apologize to Larry for our daughter's statements about him over the past few weeks. Unfortunately, she blames him and her family for where she is at today with her kids and career. Larry has always been there for Britney. For this, we will forever be grateful to him."
Britney, speaking through her rep, says, "I am praying for my father. We have never had a good relationship. It's sad that all the men that have been in my life do not know how to accept a real woman's love. I am concentrating on my work and my life right now."
Then, to counterbalance that awful statement, Spears' publicist planted the following item in the paper, claiming to be a "pal" of the recovering addict.
"[Britney] had no drugs in her system when she was admitted to Promises - they [tested her] and there was nothing. She was embarrassed she had to go in there when she knew she was suffering from postpartum depression, not a drug or alcohol problem."
As for the bizarre head-shaving incident, her publicist the pal continued, "Britney's aunt had just died of cancer. She was
feeling very guilty because she hadn't been there with her, she was overwhelmingly depressed and she shaved her head in solidarity."
She was always so close to her family.
