From one child star to another, Tatum O’Neal has said that Britney Spears “needs to be in recovery and get her disease of addiction together”.
The 43-year-old actress shared her thoughts on the troubled pop star with Entertainment in a TV interview.
“I relate to her and feel really sad for her,” O’Neal said, adding that she had similar experiences as a young mother.
“I did everything that she doesn’t want to do. I did the drug testing. It was very humbling but I wanted those kids back.

This week a judge ordered Spears, 25, to temporarily surrender custody of her sons, Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, one, to ex-husband Kevin Federline.
She was also ordered to undergo random drug and alcohol testing and take parenting classes as part of her custody dispute with Federline.
Spears needed treatment and she needs to shield her children from media attention, O’Neal said.
“Hopefully she will figure (it) out,” she said. “But it’s going to be hard and she will do it publicly and that sucks.”
