Was Britney Spears really on the fast track to becoming yet another "face of meth" -- or is this latest accusation by ex-manager Sam Lufti just sour grapes?
Lutfi is suing Spears' "conservators" on the grounds that he was supposed to get 15% of her earnings, and naturally, the first day of the trial was filled with vicious slams -- including the claim that the reason Brit pulled her infamous head-shaving stunt was because she was afraid her hair would test positive for hard drugs; namely, methamphetamine.
But buzz cut aside, did Spears ever really manifest any symptoms of chronic meth use?
Let's take a look at what this drug does to the human body to find out.
Typical warning signs to watch for in meth users include:
Irritability
Aggressive behavior
Anxiety
Auditory hallucinations
Paranoia
Regular abuse of methamphetamine can cause:
Convulsions
Violent behavior
Insomnia
Impaired speech
Rotting teeth
Loss of appetite
Acne and/or sores
So WAS Britney Spears abusing meth, based on these signs and symptoms? Well, let's see. There was definitely violent behavior (remember that baseball bat incident?) and paranoia (the head-shaving thing), but I'm not convinced. If you've ever seen an actual meth addict, you know what an incredible toll the drug can take on a person's appearance, and Britney Spears NEVER looked like this. Plus, people have been on her case for being chubby, but never rail-thin.
Either way, hopefully Spears is healthy and drug-free now. What an absolutely horrific and toxic way to destroy a life.
Do you think Britney Spears was a meth addict?

I agree with loorah, when everything happened with her, I immediately thought bipolar as well, someone who probably knew they had it but wasn't taking their meds correctly if at all. She might have even had PPD and never got treated for it. Combined, PPD and bipolar disoder would probably/definitely make her act crazy.
Nellie: thats the only explination i can come up with. Its sickening. This was how many years ago?
She may have had PPD and she may have been Bi-Polar but she could have easily been a drug addict as well, especially if she was not seeking treatment for mental issues and decided to self-medicate. Not all meth users fall into the commercials you see on tv...
she had almost all of those symptoms minus the weight loss. she was on drugs, get over it, accept it and move on.
