Britney
Spears'
new
boyfriend
has
branded
her
a
"practising
alcoholic".
Alcohol
counsellor
John
Sundahl,
who
met
Britney
earlier
this
year
at
her
Alcoholics
Anonymous
meetings,
admitted
the
pop
star
has
a
drinking
problem.
He
confirmed,
"Yes,
she
is
still
a
practising
alcoholic."
Britney
is
said
to
be
furious
with
his
comments
as
she
has
always
denied
being
an
alcoholic
and
insists
she
was
forced
into
rehab
against
her
will
by
her
mother
Lynne.
After
leaving
the
Malibu's
Promises
Rehab
Centre,
the
singer
-
who
has
two
children
with
estranged
husband
Kevin
Federline
-
said,
"I
never
had
a
problem.
I
didn't
go
out
for
a
while,
and
then
when
I
broke
up
with
Kevin,
I
decided
to
let
my
hair
down.
That's
all."
The
25-year-old
is
also
reportedly
angry
that
John,
38,
confirmed
their
romance
as
she
was
hoping
to
keep
it
a
secret.
A
source
told
a
British
newspaper,
"Britney's
livid.
She's
tried
to
keep
their
relationship
a
secret
and
now
he's
told
the
world
and
called
her
an
alcoholic
as
well."
Last
week,
John
spoke
out
about
his
love
for
Britney,
after
she
helped
him
recover
from
bowel
surgery.He
said,
"When
I
was
in
the
hospital,
she
sat
with
me
and
held
my
hand
all
night
long.
She
even
sang
and
hummed
to
me
while
I
was
practically
unconscious.
I
love
being
around
her.
She's
a
sweet,
caring
girl
and
a
good
mom."
