Whatever Happened to Britney Jean? (Spears Megathread pt2)

[dolem]

Clearly not well.

Let's hope she doesn't get pregnant again

[imnotbitter]

Oh dear.

Funnily enough, when I was watching that sideshow I wondered whether she was trying to do an Aussie accent - and actually, it's not too bad. I've never heard anyone do a proper Australian accent (even Meryl Streep sounded so wrong despite all the accolades) but for some reason Britney's kind of nailing it in parts.

Britney Spears' marriage to Sam Asghari is on the rocks ... this according to multiple sources in the know.

TMZ has prepared a documentary that will air tonight, which explores Britney's life post-conservatorship. We're told Britney has gotten physical with Sam and screaming matches have been frequent. We're also told things have gotten so volatile security has had to step in.

Our sources say Sam doesn't stay at their home much anymore and it's especially alarming because of how she has come to rely on him.

"TMZ Investigates: Britney Spears: The Price of Freedom" airs tonight, Monday, at 9 PM ET on FOX.

god she acts like such a child. I know she's not right in the head but that doesn't mean she can't do some growing up.

When you don’t recognize your behavior is an issue, there is no incentive to change those behaviors. That’s increased given the apparent lack of acceptance of her mental health issues.

Britney Spears Kevin Federline Plans to Move Kids to Hawaii ... Britney Unlikely to Object

5/16/2023 1:00 AM PT

Britney Spears' two sons want nothing to do with Los Angeles anymore and plan to move to the Aloha State for a more private life, away from the attention swirling around their mother ... according to sources with direct knowledge.

Our sources say Kevin Federline, Britney's ex-husband, had his attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, fire off a letter to Britney's lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, asking if she'd be open to letting Jayden James and Sean Preston relocate to Hawaii full-time with their dad and stepmom, Victoria Prince.




Our sources say they want a response from Britney by week's end. If Britney objects, Kaplan will go to court and ask permission from the judge ... and given Britney hasn't seen the kids in more than a year and the kids want to leave town, it's likely the judge will allow the move.

We're told it's unlikely the case will end up in court and Britney will acquiesce to the move.

Our sources say Victoria has a job offer at a university in Hawaii, Kevin has DJ opportunities there as well, and the kids are eager to make the move. We're told they plan to leave L.A. for Hawaii sometime in July.

16-year-old Jayden will continue taking classes remotely, and 17-year-old Sean Preston will have graduated high school by the time they move, though his plans are unclear.


The kids have been with Kevin and Victoria 100% for a long time, so the move would not be disruptive.


As we reported, Jayden and Sean weren't at Britney's wedding last year ... and months later, she addressed the difficulties in her relationship with the kids by scoffing at Jayden's wish that she gets better.

The 6 most shocking moments from ‘Britney Spears: The Price of Freedom’ doc

By Riley Cardoza

May 16, 2023 | 8:45am

The latest Britney Spears documentary has left many fans shocked by its depiction of the Princess of Pop’s post-conservatorship life.

“TMZ Investigates: Britney Spears: The Price of Freedom,” which aired Monday on Fox, made startling claims, from the “Toxic” singer, 41, drinking coffee and energy drinks “by the gallons” to staying awake for multiple days at a time after binge-sleeping.


While the TV special featured videos posted to Spears’ social media accounts since she was freed from her 13-year conservatorship in November 2021, she did not speak to the outlet’s allegations.

Her husband, Sam Asghari, however, took to Instagram Sunday to slam TMZ ahead of the “absolutely disgusting” release.

“Don’t believe what you read online,” the actor, 29, said, claiming that his wife was “under a microscope” for “clickbait.”

Life of isolation

Spears spends most of her time “at home by herself,” TMZ executive producer Charles Latibeaudiere alleged in the doc, adding that she “lives in virtual isolation.”

News director Brad Appleton chimed in, “Sometimes she’ll drive to a quiet dirt path, park and just kind of meditate.”


As for TMZ producer Katie Hayes, she noted, “She hangs out at her pool because she loves to tan. She works out in her gym, and she dances wildly and a lot.”
Caffeine kicks

Later in the documentary, the site’s founder, Harvey Levin, credited multiple sources with saying that Spears “drinks coffee, Red Bull, Celsius and dandelion tea by the gallons, and that contributes to her manic episodes.”

The “Hold Me Closer” vocalist clapped back at those claims when they made headlines prior to the special airing.

“My mind gets busy and sometimes that can be an easy target to mess with,” she wrote via Instagram, clarifying that she “can’t even look at coffee” and drinks watermelon juice instead.
Wide awake

One of TMZ’s sources considers Spears a “binge sleeper,” according to managing editor Fabian Garcia.

“She sleeps a lot,” he alleged. “Sometimes she’ll sleep for days. … She’ll sleep for three days, and then she won’t sleep at all for the next few.”

Garcia added that when she is awake, “Britney loves books” and “reads a lot, mostly fiction.”
No knives

The doc also touched on Spears’ alleged “fascination with knives.”

Levin claimed that one “recommendation at the end of the conservatorship” was to “keep knives away from Britney,” alleging that multiple sources have shared her “fascination with knives.”

He explained, “We’re told she’s in mortal fear someone will come in the middle of the night, strap her to a gurney and take her to a psych ward. As one source put it, she lives in constant fear of being reinstitutionalized.”

When the superstar’s sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, accused Britney in her January 2022 “Things I Should Have Said” memoir of locking them in a room together while brandishing a knife, Britney denied the instance ever having taken place.
Marriage troubles

Additionally, the documentary accuses Britney of getting “physical with Sam” on “more than one” occasion, with Levin claiming the couple’s “volatile … marriage is on the rocks” nearly one year after their wedding.

Garcia added, “He’s a big guy and we’re told pretty passive, so he just takes it, so he does get angry, and screaming matches are not infrequent.”

Asghari “doesn’t stay at her home much these days,” Latibeaudiere went on to tell viewers of the former fitness model, who started dating Britney in late 2016 after meeting on the set of her “Slumber Party” music video.
Separate from her sons

Britney shares sons Sean Preston, 17, and Jayden, 16, with her ex-husband Kevin Federline — but she has not seen the teenagers “in well over a year,” according to Hayes.

Page Six confirmed Monday that the last time the performer saw her children was “at the very beginning of 2022” before her and Asghari’s June wedding.

“The kids have been with Kevin full-time for a long time,” Latibeaudiere added. “Our sources say recently, there have been occasional texts between Britney and the kids. So maybe the ice is thawing a bit.”

I notice Sam didn't exactly deny any marriage difficulties, just told everyone to leave Britney A LONE!!

I missed the TMZ special but it doesn't sound like it told us anything we didn't already know or suspect. It explains those twirling videos though. 3 days awake and 3 days asleep, how could anyone think clearly? Anyone who thinks she's better off FREE is sadly mistaken. This is Britney without the structure of the conservatorship.

[dolem]

Do not blame her kids for wanting to get away. I imagine it's not easy being her son and her erratic behavior does not help the issue at all.

None of that TMZ article is surprising other than "she reads a lot". Sorry, I just can't see her ever reading anything.

[trixie]

lol, good point, what does she read? Young adult fiction, romance novels?

Re the Hawaii move, I'm sure it has something to do with the kids, but notice Victoria has been offered a J-O-B, so maybe the Federlines are finally realizing that the clock is ticking on those big child support checks and they need to figure out a way to survive soon. I can't imagine the cost of living in Hawaii will be any less, and doesn't Britney own (or pay for) their house? This might not be as easy as they think.

If they were getting a % income - child support they could have been getting £50k/month for both of them. (Combined total)
$600k/year, they could easily have accumulated a nestegg (as kfed turned out to be the clever one) & that's child support only not alimony for him not being "able" to work looking after 2 kids full time....


Also a little info on Victoria Prince
Prince, who was born on December 2, 1982, in Richland, Washington, is known for her volleyball career.

After high school, she played collegially at Washington State University but ultimately transferred to the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where she obtained a bachelor of arts degree in speech, according to PEOPLE.

Over the years, her skills have been well documented, and she even competed against Olympians Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh. Outside of volleyball, she is known for her career as a special education teacher.

[trixie]

Oh, I know she's got credentials but thought I always read she was a stay at home mom since having her kids (and raising his of course). And I thought K-Fed was getting child support only, not alimony.I believe there was a cash settlement when they divorced. I remember at some time K said he needed more money because he had aged out as a dancer and there just wasn't much DJ work out there. Hey, I don't begrudge them taking the money and I do believe being Britney's ex and raising their kids has limited his options.

I'm just not so sure they have much of a nest egg and it will quickly dwindle with no more $60k (or $40k) coming in every month. And if Brit decides to cut the boys off at 18 (which she very well might) they will be in for a big culture shock too.
