Britney Spears appears at Custody Hearing but bails

Published on January 14, 2008 at 6:21 PM

Update: The Commissioner has ruled that Britney will not have visitation rights restored, at least until the next hearing on February 19.  That’s more then another month Britney won’t get to see her kids. The ruling came after damning testimony from several people, including two LAPD cops who responded to the standoff last week.

A mentally fragile Britney Spears finally did arrive at the the courthouse today for her ongoing custody battle with K-Fed. As she got out of her cars, she screamed at photogs,

“Move back. I’m scared. Stop it. Stop it.”

Brit managed to make her way into an underground tunnel, where she was met by two of her lawyers — Anne Kiley and Tara Scott. TMZ reports that they actually got into the Escalade to speak with her. That’s when Brit speculatively said she just didn’t want to testify. 

It’s a reasonable assumption as she didn’t go inside the courthouse and instead headed back to her car and drove away.  Fighting her demons she came back — and at one point got out of the SUV — but then got back in and drove off.

There was a lot at stake for Brit to appear before the judge today as we explained here but she just wasn’t up to the challenge of defending her right to see her children in her current condition.
