Spears calls judge “an old fart”

By Alexandra Heilbron on October 18, 2007 | 76 Comments


Britney SpearsBritney Spears apparently doesn’t like the judge who’s presiding over her custody case. It seems she has trouble dealing with authority. The pop singer told US Weekly: “He is just so mean. Just an old fart. He told me I was being catty with him, but he was being catty with me and paid me no respect at all. His job is to sit there and tell people what to do. And that’s just so sad, because he gets off on it.”

    Good for you, Britney! Respect is a two-way street, and from the sound of things, the judge is in the wrong lane.

  2. Merry Dunbar • October 18, 2007 @ 10:51 AM

    What a pampered little princess. Why should he respect her? She didn’t show up in court for crucial hearings; she didn’t comply with one request he made, like, taking a drug test, or even agreeing to take a drug test in order to keep custody of her kids. She just kept ignoring him until he finally had no choice. It’s about time she woke up and realized life isn’t going to be handed to her on a silver platter anymore, especially when it comes to innocent children. And if she was mouthing off to a judge, she’s an idiot and an ego maniac who’s deluded about her own self importance.

    The judge is in the wrong lane? Seems to me like you have shit for brains! Could you be any more stupid? Pissing off a judge is NOT a smart thing to do, no matter who you are. Your comment is mind-numbingly stupid!

    A judge doesn’t need to show respect to anyone, especially not to Brit-Brit. He is the judge and whatever he says goes; if you don’t like it file for an appeal with the supreme court.

    Can yu imagine what woudl happen if she stood before Judge Judy? Judy would tear her appart.

  7. Karen • October 18, 2007 @ 5:17 PM

    Give full custody to Kevin! The lesser of two evils it seems. At least he keeps those kids out of the spotlight which is what they need. They need to have as much of a normal childhood as they can possibly get. She is too much like a spoiled kid to be raising kids. If she misses one hearing who says she won’t do it again? Now she cares and is doing what she is supposed to do? Give me a break. Enough of Britney Spears already!

  8. Brian Bebee • October 18, 2007 @ 6:40 PM

    I really dont care about this crap anymore. Why should we care about her???? its total bs if you ask me. Her career is gone down the pisser. Her new single friggen sucks. Shes ugly, and fat, and dresses like shes a whore. Send her to jail and throw away the key. Kevin would make a much better father cause he has other kids other than brits so he knows what hes doin.But the only positive thing i have to say is that no mother should not be aloud to see her own children. Thats enough said.

    Not very good of Britney calling the judge names. I think she should full custody of her two sons!

  11. Nancy • October 18, 2007 @ 9:38 PM

    I don’t care who she is and I don’t care who the judge is…respect should be given AND received by everyone! This family court judge really doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground though. The only thing he should be thinking about is “what is best for the children”, not for Britney, or Kevin, or the judge! Sounds like he is old fashioned with old-fashioned values-pissed when a woman does not stay home with her children. I’ve been through family court and have full custody of my kids and when they drug test one parent, they drug test the other too! At least that’s the way it works in Canada. Until everything is out on the table, those children have the right to BOTH parents, even if supervised visitation. And hurry up, so these children can get settled one way or the other!!

    The judge is just miffed that Britney turned down his advances. Stick to your guns, girl — you’re BRITNEY SPEARS!!!

  13. Eve • October 19, 2007 @ 12:37 AM

    Why are people sticking up for britney? I don’t get it..she is a washed up, has been! Let it go people. She is a person just like the rest of us and has to face the same conseqences!!! The judge is simply doing his job. I would love to see her try to be like that to Judge Judy!!!! LOL!!! She would kick her out in 2 seconds. I mainly feel sorry for her kids..poor things got born into all this..she should never have had children. Britney needs serious help. I hope she gets it or soon she may be another Anna Nicole….. very sad…

  14. Karen • October 19, 2007 @ 2:37 AM

    I agree with Nancy on the last part of what she said. Those kids need to be settled. Its got to be tough to be born into that kind of spotlight. It seems to me she keeps making one wrong choice after another. It would be nice to see some right ones made for once. A judge is supposed to be neutral and he probably is. She’s had her way for so long and now she lost some of the control she had. Its all about power for her. She craves the spotlight and she seems to be using those kids to get it. Yes, the boys have a right to see both parents. I agree with that but it has got to be deserved. I mean who would not be worried about those boys with all the antics we’ve seen from her so far. Something seems to have gone wrong along the way for her and she just does not deal with stress well. She needs to take a step back and re-evaluate everything. Obviously when everyone starts worrying about you there’s a reason to that. I hope her eyes open up soon because she may just end up with visitation only.

    Sad, sad, sad “little girl”…she is showing more and more that being a teenager in her twenties just isn’t going to cut it.

  16. Jim R • October 19, 2007 @ 7:19 AM

    Forget about her.The judge should send her to jail for a couple of weeks and maybe,just maybe,she will come out of the dumb,stupid,idiotic world she has been wallowing in.

  17. Scarlett Begonia • October 19, 2007 @ 7:22 AM

    the Judge is right, Brittney is wrong, she, and by the looks of things, others need to grow up, show some respect. No matter what her personal feelings she should do whatever it takes to get her boys back. I mean if spending time with her children matter to her at all, which I am truly wondering is true.

    To “none of your business”: wtf? What did you just say? That doesn’t make any sense at all, I think you should stay away from computers when you are stoned. Bottom line, Brit messed up time and time again, and that was her choice, she knows better but keeps making bad choices anyway. If she really cared about those boys, she’d clean up her own life to get them back. Apparently she doesn’t care. The judge cares more about them than she does, he’s trying to keep them safe from her dangerous lifestyle. The ball is in her court, she can fix up her life and get them back, or she can keep going as she has been and lose her boys for good. It’s all up to her and she knows it, so don’t feel sorry for her.

  20. anon • October 19, 2007 @ 8:45 AM

    i am so tired of hearing about these spoiled brats that feel tht they can do as they feel like doing withg no consequences. it,s too bad that the parents of these rich people viewed their children as cash cows and were too afraid of losing the income to teach moral responsibility.Brit feels that her money entitleds her to do as she wants whenever she wants.

If you love them you will change that life around.

You don’t deserve your car or your kids or all the attention you insist on bringing on youself.

  25. John • October 19, 2007 @ 10:00 AM

    Brittney is just used to being the center of her universe. The nerve of someone like a JUDGE in a court of law telling her what to do….. like following the law. She’s a star, obviously she is above the law. She’s a knob who has lost touch with reality from being wrapped up in her bar star/ rock star life. Welcome to the real world Brit…….you donkey!

    I did mot have all those millions of dollars to do it with either.
    Some women can give birth but it does not make them maternal.
    I would love to be the permanent guardian of those boys at least they will know true LOVE.
    Why do the children always have to suffer because of messed up parents!

    Just cause your Britney Spears doesnt mean that you are the end all to be all…as you can see stars can go to jail…ur just a normal person who happened to get a chance to be a star and seizes it…when you feel the full wrath of the law and you loose something that is important to you (like your freedom or your kids) you will finally feel it…
    spoiled Bratt….

    In family court, the judge is not supposed to be neutral. The presiding judge is there to do what I said above….’to do what is best for the children’ and the children have the right to both parents – whether the parents ‘deserve’ it or not…..hence…..supervised visitation!!

    From what I’ve seen anon, Britney’s mom never viewed her as a “cash cow”.

We’ll see what your kids think of you when they’re old enough to read and see those disgusting photos of you cause they’ll surface sooner or later… Try to explain what was going on in your life when you were younger..Think you’ll change between now and then….HMM…not likely !!!

    Brittney first off she needs to give her head a shake & stop the partying, & stop the stupid comments. I know judges can be biased.

    Stupid is much to mild a word to use to describe Britney. WAKE UP YOU F***ING MORON! Who the HELL do you think you are? To all of those MORONS who sympathize with her, I have to say the same thing! It’s people like you that make ALL CELEBRITIES think that they’re allowed to get away with a crime. They may be human (I consider THAT to be debatable), but they MUST obey the same laws as every one else. Having money or fame should NOT make them more priveliged than anybody else or allow them to get away with a crime with no more than a slap on the wrist. I hate to see where the world is headed if we continue to allow this type of discrimination. People in the public eye should be reminded quite harshly that others look up to them and should be PUNISHED accordingly (harsher punishments for these people to discourage others from copying them).

    Good old Britney……….here we go again. The magazine gave her the opportunity to shoot her mouth off. I bet she didn’t say anything like that to the judges’ face otherwise she would be sitting in a jail cell. If is wasn’t for “bottom feeder news reporter” would the public ever have found out about her latest show of total disrespect of people and herself. This attention seeking woman with personal issues, endangered her children on numerous occasions. The system might not be perfect, however, it reads a family member, father 1st., and down the chain until there is nothing except foster care. Those children are going to end up falling through the cracks of the system, needing a lot more tender loving care when/if their parents can clean up their act.

  50. Mike Clancy • October 19, 2007 @ 10:50 PM

    My heart goes out to you Britney.

    With your talent and your love for life, you will survive and overcome this setback.

    Why should women or single mom’s be held to old fashioned standards? Why shouldn’t a woman be allowed to express the full range of her sexuality? Isn’t that her “prerogative”? Would a man be criticized for some of these things?

    I don’t know all the details, and that is as it should be. You are entitled to your privacy and your dignity, and to live your life as you chose. As a parent, I have to say, that I am not perfect. No one taught us how to do it right. But we learn. And we all do it differently. And our children are precious and different from other children partly because we all have different gifts of parenting. Think of all the single moms out there who are raising very different children from those raised in traditional families. And the world is so much richer because of those wonderfully flawed single moms and the very special children raised by those moms.

    It seems stupid and insane that you are criticized by the media. I doubt that their reputations would survive the same scrutiny. I suspect that your are suffering harrassment because of the holier than thou attention that has been focused on you by the media. And the fact that criticizing you makes money for evangelists, magazines, journalists, and photographers and allows some people in the public to feel superior.

    ……..with no reason to feel superior

    I don’t have any wisdom, special revelations or magical solutions to offer you, just the observation from watching you perform and in interviews over the last decade that you as a person have what it takes to overcome this. It may take time and it may not be easy, but eventually the public will lose interest or you will stop paying attention to their ranting. You may even see your detractors as pathetic or absurd or funny. Your sense of humour will help in that.

    In any event, your talent and love of life will carry you through all of this.

    Please have courage.

    Mike Clancy, Waterloo, Canada

    Britney is trailer trash. Plain and simple. Anybody who marries somebody who at the time she was dating had a girlfriend who had 1 kid for him and was 8 months pregnant with another is simply trailer trash. I don’t care for Kevin Federline either but at least he’s not out partying like he’s single. She needs to grow up and realize that when you become a mother, partying is over. She should have used birth control if she wasn’t into motherhood and didn’t want to give up partying. Seeing her performance at the MTV awards proves not only she’s on drugs, but doesn’t care, is washed up and has no talent.
    If she doesn’t shape up, a 6 foot grave is waiting for her. And how sad that would already be for her 2 sons who simply don’t deserve it. I wish her butt was in jail for at least 30 days (no paparazi, no attention) then she would get a real wake up call that she so desperately needs. Stop following her, stop photographing her because she’s no hero, no role model and defintely no saint. Peace out.
