Bless her heart. She's not an introvert, that's for sure. But since she probably doesn't even know what that word means, much less what would constitute a person being a introvert, I can't even be mad at this. It is bullshit that she was mismanaged and controlled to this level. What it boils down to is that her parents were greedy. I wonder if she'd been allowed (to continue) to fuck up her life if she'd have eventually learned some things the hard way on her own? Could be that she wouldn't even be here talk about it now if she had been allowed free reign. I feel bad for her because her parents did her wrong from day one. As a result, pretty much everyone who's come into her life since has been some level of an opportunist looking to profit off her. She's probably even attracted to these types herself in that even with freedom she'll end up inadvertently choosing someone who will do exactly what everyone else has done in her life. If she had been allowed to continue to fuck up her own life she would be dead and given that she was a danger to her own kids before one of her 5150 holds; one or both of her kids could be dead too. Maybe she needs to make Insta posts about that?

You know what I find interesting about that 2008 article Nov posted is it mentions how when they finally got her out of the closet she started doing her ridiculous dancing to the police, it reminds me of one one of her rants from this year about how she is "pretty" and how she does everything everyone wants her to do "and she was pretty". It's almost like she's so warped into being a showboat that even back then she thought that she would be able to get out of trouble by just twirling around. Just twirl Brit and the masses will stop and cheer.
Sad.

Yeah I'm calling bullshit on the whole "no drugs in my system" thing.
Who I feel sorry for most in this scenario (after the children, of course) is the housekeepers. Obviously Sam Lufti was doing any thieving going on, then turning around and blaming the housekeepers
I can totally believe that any room of hers not allowed to be touched by housekeepers would be filthy and messy af.
And all this happened with a court appointed monitor there!? Geez louise.

Just twirl Brit and the masses will stop and cheer. Sad. Indeed. And the further sad part is that the Free Britney nutters do exactly that. I feel bad for her - she has no self awareness, nor has she been taught how to have any real perspective on reality. I know she's mentally ill, but goddamn. It's a shame she clearly has no one in her corner who doesn't also want to profit off of her antics. She reminds me of a teenager who will deliberately and stubbornly do the opposite of what she's being advised to do, just to be, well, a teenager. Makes sense since she's clearly stunted at about 14-16. A further clear indicator of this is the situation with her boys. They've been on record that they're embarrassed of the nudity and antics on social media. So what does she do? More nudie posts, of course - and the ones I saw last week seem to involve even less covering than before. I am all about freely expressing yourself, but jesus - can she just ONCE consider someone else's perspective or feelings besides her own? Maybe it's because I have two boys about the same age apart as her two boys. They're grown men now but I remember them as teens and I had them young (I was mid-30s when they were 15-16), so I can very easily put myself in this scenario and vividly picture how they'd feel if I did something like this. And I can damned sure tell you that if they said "oh my god, mom. we are getting SO much shit about your naked pics on IG. Please stop." I'd.. fucking stop! I want to root for her and I do, even though I want to grab her and shake her by the shoulders most times. She makes it so hard to feel bad for her sometimes.

^ There's a saying that some celebrities are mentally stuck at the age they became famous. Definitely seems true in Britney's case.

I agree with everyone here, but that audio was still heartbreaking. She wants a do-over with a new baby, but the new husband is the only one that might benefit.
Her family seems pretty vile, but there doesn't seem to be any self-reflection or acceptance of responsibility for their own part in this mess. Still, the conservatorship was obviously needed at the time. Most people (myself included) were relieved when it started. It just seems there wasn't really an end goal of getting her the help she needed to grow out of the conservatorship. The goal just became "make more money, Britney."
Sad, and no obvious solutions or even paths to solutions that I can see.

I'm not convinced that the conservativeship was 100% bad. Yes people got paid but given Brit-Brit attitude I'm not sure it was enough. We only have her side of the "they drugged me if I said no" conversation because for anyone else it's probably covered under HIPPA laws.
Given her most recent rants posts etc I think it's fair to say that like a large number of mentally ill people, when they are on their meds & ok they are great but it doesn't take much to knock them off kilter.

I don’t think it was necessarily a bad idea but her fucked up family shouldn’t have been involved and there should have been more oversight and she shouldn’t have been cut off from the world like that.

^ this could also be a tattoo. Maybe a chest piece? I think a garter tattoo wrapped around your creamy thigh would be more appropriate. I don’t think it was necessarily a bad idea but her fucked up family shouldn’t have been involved and there should have been more oversight and she shouldn’t have been cut off from the world like that. I think that there should have been an end goal of at least trying to help her enough that she could eventually - possibly - be weaned off the conservatorship and back into independent living but that never seems to have crossed the Spears Family's mind at all. Their focus seemed to be holding on to every ounce of control they now had over her, along with every dollar that came with it. If even half of the stuff Britney has alleged is true, then she's been treated appallingly. No matter what someone's mental health problems are they still deserve to be treated with dignity and respect instead of like a whipped workhorse.

I dunno, we all saw her go off the rails, endangering her kids, pink wig, Sam Lutfi etc., so I didn't really think it was a bad thing that her family stepped in (if they hadn't, everyone would be saying "where is her family, why aren't they doing anything??) and I thought the conservatorship was being monitored by the court, a judge, lawyers, medical evaluators, and a financial co-conservator so it wasn't just Jamie being allowed to go hogwild with forcing her into servitude and stealing all her money. Really, that was going on with all the oversight? Again, I dunno. Maybe the condervatorship went on too long, and not with the purpose of getting Britney to the point she could function on her own, but I don't think it was totally unnecessary, and really who could've stepped in except her family?

Britney Spears has responded to her son Jayden’s remarks about missing her wedding to Sam Asghari, along with comments where he defended her father and former conservator, Jamie.In a new interview with ITV News, in addition to defending Jamie Spears and speaking about his mum’s mental health, Jayden revealed why he and his 16-year-old brother Sean Preston missed Spears’s June wedding to Asghari, a personal trainer and actor. “At the time it just wasn’t a good time to go,” Jayden said. “I’m not saying that I’m not happy for her. I’m really happy for them, but she didn’t invite the whole family, and then if it was just going to be me and Preston, I just don’t see how that situation would have ended on good terms.” During the interview, which is set to air on Friday (2 September), Jayden also defended his grandfather Jamie, who was Spears’s conservator for 13 years. At first he was just trying to be like any father letting her pursue her daughter’s dream of becoming a superstar but I did think maybe the conservatorship went on too long, probably why my mum was very angry about the whole situation that she was working for too long and I personally think she was,” Jayden said in the interview. “[My grandfather] doesn’t deserve all the hatred he is getting in the media. I love him, with all my heart,” he added. “He was just trying to be a father.” On Thursday (1 September), in a lengthy post on Instagram, Spears responded to her son’s comments, writing: “I’ve tried my best at being the best person I can be.
“Finally at 40 without the restraints of what my family did to me… I say to my son Jayden that I send all the love in the world to you every day for the rest of my life!!!! “My love for my children has boundaries and it deeply saddens me to know his outcry of saying I wasn’t up his expectations of a mother… and maybe one day we can meet face to face and talk about this openly!!!!” she added. “Maybe dear child YOU can explain why our family would do that to anyone!!!” “If you could pause for a second remember where you came from,” she wrote. “I hope you can look in the mirror and remember… you are my child and always will be. Since Preston didn’t speak, I send my love,” she wrote. Responding to Jayden’s comments about her mental health, Spears wrote: “As for my mental health… my dear child understand you must learn to pick up a book and read one before you start to even thinking about my intellect sweetheart!!!! “If you can honestly sit back and say with your sensible brilliant mind what [grandma and grandpa] did to me was fine and call them not bad people… then yes I have failed as a mother and hopefully that’s a chat for you and your father to sit face to face and try to learn WHAT’S GOOD,” she added, referring to Jayden’s comments where he defended Jamie Spears. www.independent.co.uk/life-style/britney-spears-jayden-jamie-instagram-b2158160.html
