For the second time in a month britney spears has been taken from her home and admitted.
"It's true. Britney was a threat to herself," a source tells E! News. "She's finally been committed.
"She has been out of control and not listening to anyone, totally uncontrollable and was worrying everyone by not taking any medication. She hasn't slept in three days."
Manager Sam Lutfi alerted Spears' psychiatrist, who made the call to get her in care, according to the source. Lutfi was said to be key in making it happen, even over the objections of the singer's recently reunited mother, Lynne.
"The scene inside the house was chaos," the insider continued. "Lynne was shouting at police, she didn't want them to take Britney away at first. It was a zoo."
About 1:14 a.m. Thursday a convoy of emergency vehicles, led by the Spears-hauling ambulance, left the singer's home and exited through a side entrance of the gated Beverly Hills community known as the Summit. At least a dozen Los Angeles Police Department motorcycles and squad cars, trailed by Spears' family and friends and the requisite caravan of paparazzi, followed as she was transported to UCLA Medical Center.
Police confirmed that officers were at the Spears house, but declined to comment on what went down
By 1:58 a.m. Spears was admitted on a 5150 hold, meaning she will be held in the psych ward for up to 72 hours.
Lynne Spears, Lutfi, boyfriend Adnan Ghalib and longtime friend Alli Sims were all at the hospital.
They were all also present Monday night, when they confronted the Blackout artist and urged her to get treatment for what they believe is a bipolar condition.
