Britney Spears discusses breakdown

Popstar Britney Spears has spoken for the first time about her breakdown.

Britney Spears has discussed her public meltdown for the first time. “I've been through a lot in the past two or three years, and there's a lot that people don't know,” Britney explains in an interview for the upcoming MTV special Britney: For The Record. “Sometimes I think I get kind of lonely because you don't open the gate up that much, you know I mean? You're guarded. You have to be that way, so I'm kind of stuck in this place and it's like: How do you deal? And you just cope, and that's what I do. I just cope with it, every day. I sit there and I look back and I'm like, ‘I'm a smart person. What the hell was I thinking?’” Britney releases her new album, Circus, on 2 December.
