Sometimes the bottom has to be dropped out for you to really get it,” Columbus said. And that was one of the real reasons – they just wanted me to get my stuff together. “And if we’re going to be fully transparent, they protected me and they held me down. “I had a lot on my plate, and you know, I was using unhealthy ways to kind of self-medicate and deal with a lot of heavy duty stuff in my life… I was doing cocaine and drinking a lot, and trying to balance a 16-hour work schedule a day, and a family, and I just lost myself back then.”Ĭolumbus adds that Shonda Rhimes and his Scandal co-stars tried to help him. “I’ll be candid: I was struggling with drugs,” the 32-year-old former Scandal star told Access Hollywood. In fact, during this time period, Jamie was not involved in Britney’s business at all.”īritney recently talked about her body’s appearance on Instagram.Ĭolumbus Short ran into a ton of legal trouble earlier this year, charges including a felony battery and public intoxication, and he’s now opening up about a cocaine problem that caused him to make some bad choices. Her father, Jamie, also denied it in a statement via source: “ Jamie was not there, and not involved.

I would never say that to anyone, much less my daughter. Those terrible words are not remotely in my vocabulary. Her mother Lynne denied the claim in a statement: “I want to be very clear. I wish the world knew the Britney I knew.” I love Britney to this day… I feel bad for her. There would be times that she would act out, and I don’t blame her. Britney couldn’t go nowhere - her world completely controlled in this bubble. I think she is a really sweet person that was tormented in a position on a high level that I can’t imagine. “After that I felt like maybe was using me to piss them off for some reason. I wasn’t shocked and I wasn’t hurt by it, I was just like, ‘Wow, this is … OK … I know who I am around here…because they have black bodyguards doesn’t mean behind closed doors they don’t use that word.” The way it came out was so effortless, like that’s how they speak. Look where they’re from … they’re from Louisiana. He then discussed the alleged racial slur incident on Inside Hollywood. “I was fired not too long after that, and Britney changed her number so I couldn’t contact her,” he wrote, adding that he learned: “Don’t s–t where you eat, even if you really have to go.” He alleged that when the two were traveling to shoot the video for “Me Against the Music,” her manager “was growing more upset with the continued press … and her parents were NOT happy,” eventually leading to a falling-out during a game of truth or dare, when Britney apparently said she would marry Columbus, while he picked his girlfriend at that time. I shook my head and didn’t say anything, because what was there to say?” While on their trip, he claims: “I was next to while she was on the phone with them crying while she had it on speaker.” He claims he heard them say “Why are you f–king that n-r?” And that, “ Britney looked at me so apologetically, knowing I’d heard it. This was a dangerous sexual alliance for every reason under sun, and I think that the worst part of it was that I was making the rumors an actual reality.” I never slept with her again after that, though. We ended up being intimate that one time. “I really tried my best, but this girl put on the full-court press.

She allegedly pulled him aside at the party and insisted he travel with her to Rome to prep for her next video. Britney had her eyes on the prize and wasn’t about to stop until she got what she wanted.” He wrote that Britney “was on me like white on rice, and would not leave me alone the entire night. “She sent us a jet, and just like that, we were in New York having a wild party for my 21st birthday,” he wrote, claiming that they partied at “ Keith Richards’ apartment uptown…and we were all in there going crazy.” In his book, he alleged that he and Britney got close before the release of her 2003 album, In The Zone. In his 2020 autobiography Short Stories, he said Britney pursued him in 2003 when he was working with her as a dancer and producer, and that they were intimate together on a trip to Rome.
