background

Spears says the following to him (the alleged victim of her “game”) after he gives her an item as a token of love: “But I thought the old lady threw it into the ocean at the end?” He replies, “Yes baby, me was downstairs and got it back up for you! ”She replies that he didn't have to do this.
