Britney Spears was released from UCLA hospital.
TMZ and the Los Angeles Times both report that Spears was released from a psychiatric ward at the UCLA Medical Center today after nearly a week of treatment.
Spears reportedly slipped out with relatively little fuss. A private security detail escorted her in contrast to last week when more than a dozen Los Angeles police officers escorted Spears to the hospital via motorcade.
The Los Angeles Times noted that the LAPD said they took that step after the aggressive tactics by paparazzi forced them to take costly precautions. Authorities said she was headed home before seeking additional treatments.
Her release in on the heels of explosive testimony from Spears' mother in court documents, who said her daughter's acting manager Sam Lutfi drugged, berated and abused the singer, cutting her phone lines, taking away her cellphone chargers, disabling her vehicles and grinding up pills to place in her food.
Britney's parents enacted a restraining order against Lutfi.
The restraining order, approved Friday and released by the court Tuesday, bars Lutfi from coming within 250 yards of the singer.
The LAPD also has a filed grand theft report that claims Spears' paintings, jewelry and other valuables were taken from her Coldwater Canyon home.
