Britney Spears Sold Out Hard By Shannon Funk, Others

August 15th, 2007 8:40 AM by Free Britney

Drinking in front of the kids. Stripping in front of the staff. Flashing dat ass (sometimes with no underwear) every time she goes out in public.

Kevin Federline has been collecting stories from Britney Spears' employees about her alleged bad parenting and her nannies have plenty to share.

While K-Fed has been serving subpoenas to members of Spears' inner circle in his custody battle, several ex nannies are offering insight into the world of Britney.

One of her strangest requests? Before she had Jayden James, she asked a nanny to sleep in the same bed with her and Sean Preston.

No word on whether this nanny has Britney Spears confused with Michael Jackson. But in another shocking revelation: "She drinks in front of the kids," a former staffer says of Spears, who spent 28 days in rehab earlier this year.

"At first, a few drinks would help her loosen up and not be so angry. But she'd inevitably drink too much and be out of it, at which point the nannies would take care of the kids."

Multiple sources confirm Spears' exhibitionism: "She'll strip down in front of staff, nannies, whoever... She'll ask, ‘Do I look sexy? Do I look pretty?' She's extremely insecure."

Being on Spears' payroll requires much more than child care experience, as "She just cares if they're fun and like to drink ... [Britney] hires people to be her friends."

One such "friend" is Shannon Funk (below, center), who is the latest in a growing line of Britney associates to be summoned to testified by Federline's attorney.

Interestingly, while K-Fed's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, was tying to reach Funk, she was having a girl's night out with OK! magazine staff in New York, says TMZ.

And, in the continuing saga of Brit's fantastic train wreck life, TMZ says it is none other than Shannon Funk who's the source for the juicy, newest tell-all from an "unnamed employee" that OK! is featuring this week. That's loyalty for you!

Funk, who worked for Spears for all of three weeks before being axed July 25, was out in the Big Apple Sunday with OK! staffers Shauna Bass and Maria Collazo.

Funk was the assistant who was by Britney's side at her grease-smearing, clothes stealing, public peeing debacle of a photo shoot with OK! a few weeks back. The irony.

Mark Vincent Kaplan has placed several calls to Funk's mother's home in the past few days in an effort to track her down. Federline is hoping that Funk's testimony, along with that of Alli Sims and Daimon Shippen, will prove he should have full custody of the kids.

Looks like he's got a good shot. Especially since Perez Hilton is reporting that Spears and Funk are lovers. True or not, this pic isn't helping anyone's custody fight.

Oh, and remember Matt Encinias, the guy who fooled around with Britney, then sold her out the next day? Here's a naked photo of him with Shannon Funk. Peace.
