The Spears family is now angry with Dr. Phil, as apparently his proir butt kissing has worn off. Though they haven’t said whether they gave Dr. Phil McGraw permission to see their daughter at the hospital or not they are calling the way he handled his contact with Britney a betrayal, inappropriate, and a total breach of their trust.
The Spears family rep Lou Taylor appeared on the “Today” show on their behalf and told Meredith Vieira that:
Dr. Phil actually broached the subject of doing a show about Britney, but that they nixed the idea, only to have Phil try to set up the show anyway. Taylor scorched Phil, saying it was even “inappropriate” for Phil to bring up doing a show, and that the family thought it would be detrimental to Britney.
What’s more, Taylor said that the family felt “betrayed” that Phil would issue any kind of statement after meeting with Brit, and that nobody had given him any authority to say anything, much less bellow on and on like he did.

Meanwhile Britney got slapped with a restraining order by the LAPD, according to People Magazine at the time of her meltdown Thursday and must stay at least 100 feet from Kevin Federline, according to the “emergency protective order,” which was issued to “stabilize the situation.” The order was confirmed by K-Fed’s lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan, and was enforced for five business days – i.e., ending today. No word on whether it will be extended. On Jan. 4, Spears, 26, was stripped of all visitation rights with sons Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1, pending the ex-couple’s next custody hearing on Jan. 14.
