Britney Spears prays for her dad, still hates manager

According to PageSix.com, Britney was furious with Larry Rudolph for forcing her into the Promises rehab clinic in February after she went out almost every night for a month, posed for photos in her underwear with New York dancers and shaved her head.

In a statement to Page Six , Jamie writes: "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, meanwhile is praying for her dad.

"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."

A pal of Britney said the pop tart "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 head-shaving incident, 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."

Meanwhile, IOL reports that Britney Spears is facing legal action after reportedly sacking her long term manager Larry Rudolph last Friday.

The 25-year-old was seen mocking her manager's decision to send her to rehab in a bizarre video rant which was posted on the internet at the weekend.

But now Spears could end up in court for reneging on the deal she had previously signed with Rudolph, according to PageSix.
