Britney Spears' most recent right hand man has explained her no-show in court.

Fallen pop star Britney failed to attend a court ordered deposition regarding the custody of her two sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline, Sean Preston and Jayden James.

The 26-year-old star has added fuel to her ex-husbands fiery battle by abdicating from her legal responsibilities.

However, since her noticeable absence at the Los Angeles Superior Court, sources close to the "Toxic" singer have revealed that she was suffering from anxiety when she was required to go from her house to the court house.

One closest to Britney, Sam Lutfi, has confirmed to E! Online that Britney was too panicked by the media attention to leave her mansion. He said, "We got up and got ready to go. Her attorneys came to pick her up, but when she saw the media frenzy outside her house, her anxiety sky rocketed."

Britney is surrounded by a media frenzy on a daily basis. The singer is hounded by the press when her runs her daily errands - which involve Starbucks runs, buying pets or simply exiting a car without underwear on.
