Britney Spears, 39, once collapsed from exhaustion during a VIP New Years Eve party in 2007, her friend Sean Phillip claimed last night.
The pop icon, who is currently in a public legal battle with her father to be released from a decade long conservatorship, was hosting a party at Pure nightclub when the incident took place.
Phillip alleges he carried her out of the venue and upstairs away from crowds.
He claimed to The Sun: “The reality is that she was exhausted.
“She was being worked to the bone, and was in no fit state to still be performing.

“The medication she was on was not helping her at all. She was becoming paranoid like I’d never, ever seen her before. She fainted in the club at the party she was hosting.
“I had to get her out, carrying her over my shoulder with a black suit jacket thrown over her, and stopping people trying to take pictures on their phones.
“By the time we got back upstairs she was fine, but crying hysterically, and so upset. She was saying, ‘Why am I so accessible? Why am I still doing club gigs?’.”

A rep for Britney Spears has been contacted by Daily Star for comment.
Sean went on to add that he believes her father Jamie doesn’t have her best interest at heart.
He added to the publication: “When she started having problems, he came in — but he had no compassion, and just didn’t seem to care about his daughter’s wellbeing.
“Hollywood has a terrible reputation for doctors and lawyers working together. That’s what killed Michael Jackson.”

Despite being one of the most famous and wealthy women on the planet, Sean insists he doesn’t think Britney is aware of her net worth due to the large team around her.
Speaking in court earlier this week, Britney begged Judge Penny to remove Jamie has her conservator.
She told the court hearing in an emotional speech: “I’ve always been scared of my dad.
“I was scared he would show up drunk.
“I counted and in one week alone, I was abandoned 63 times by all of my family members as I sat in the trailer and watched them leave from the window.”

Overcome with emotion, she added: “My team took everything from me. They even took my hair vitamins away.
“That’s not abuse, it’s f***ing cruel. I still can’t even drink coffee.”
Telling the judge she plans on pressing charges against her father, Britney added: “I’m not sure how long it takes to get a restraining order but I want to file for abuse and an investigation against my dad.
“He knocked down a door and shook my son.
“My lawyer (Sam Ingham) didn’t fight for me.
“My lawyer did not fight for me one time. I am angry and I will go there.”
