The Reason Britney Spears Locked Herself In Bathroom & Held Children Hostage

Apparently, Britney Spears was angered by having to attend a deposition in the custody case earlier in the day and she wanted 'make-up' time with the kids that evening, reports TMZ.

Britney had visitation rights with the kids that day, and was supposed to surrender them to ex-husband Kevin Federline at 7 PM, but wanted two extra hours.

K-Fed and his lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, wouldn't allow it, so she locked herself in the house, thus the hostage stand-off. You can read more about Alli Sims breaking down the bathroom door with a hammer and Jayden James' bruises here.
