Thank you for posting this one. Do people actually think it’s Britney posting considering the amount of surveillance on her 24/7? Have people not learned from the documentaries that Team Con is a master of making up narratives to hide Britney’s true intention and feelings? If Britney’s the one posting, she can easily record an IG story and say it’s not true once and for all. When I’m pissed or fed up about the injustice I’ve been through, do you think I have time to plug emojis in my post to make it pretty? No! I would be rambling on things.

Per Deadline Hollywood, the allegations from Controlling Britney Spears have now led to federal authorities looking into the case.

Edit: that a federal investigation is pending is good. That part I am happy about. Worth pointing out is that Rosengart’s wording makes it sound like this was already known, but basically NYT did the work for him and expedited the process. So this would’ve happened with or without the doc, essentially. Thank you for posting this one. Do people actually think it’s Britney posting considering the amount of surveillance on her 24/7? I just… I’m exhausted. No. Britney recently got her own iPad for the first time, it was a huge deal because she was so excited about it and the same public that apparently “needs to know” about all of this called her crazy for getting excited about it (because they don’t understand this beyond the infotainment), but the point is she literally has control over her socials and has for some time now. She can edit posts, she can delete them, etc (the post has since been taken down, so if this was a “team con” diversion it flopped hard). My guess is it was removed now that Rosengart found an angle to take advantage of it for her case, but Britney stans have GOT and I do mean seriously have got to stop this ridiculous “I don’t agree with this/this doesn’t make sense to me/this isn’t what I want to hear so it’s obviously not her” schtick. She has had access to her socials for months. We KNOW this. Stop stripping her of her agency because it doesn’t fit your narrative. Not only that but this is literally the last time I’m going to say it: they don’t have access to Sam’s socials and he’s corroborated that she hates them so idk why people are in denial. Like y’all are welcome to bend over backwards with whatever twilight zone logic y’all need to justify… whatever line of thinking this is, but I’m done posting about it. It’s so exhausting.

Lightening the mood! Next week on dancing with the stars is Britney Spears night. The show just started so there’s a bunch of contestants (14!) that will each be picking a song of hers to perform. What 14 songs will be picked?!?!? Any non-singles???

I don't think I loved B v S as much as Framing and Controlling, but it was still really good. I'm glad we got more Adnan, Loucifer, and with the Andrew Gallery letter. Bring on Wednesday! #FreeBritney

Like y’all are welcome to bend over backwards with whatever twilight zone logic y’all need to justify… whatever line of thinking this is, but I’m done posting about it. It’s so exhausting. I love you but this is not correct. There is no proof whatsoever that she has control over her socials, and that's not some wild stan conspiracy theory, it just is what it is. Given what we've seen in "Controlling" especially, there is no reason to believe she actually has any control. They wouldn't even give her a phone with texting at one point, but they're going to give her access to her Instagram? It doesn't make any sense. Not to mention, it appears that she might have had a *tiny* bit of access at one point, when she did get the new iPad, but literally just days after getting some of those videos, many were quickly deleted and we didn't get any more actual content from Britney that appeared to be from her, we went right back to memes and old pictures/videos. I mean just the other day we had a photo from February that was being pawned off as if it was new from her vacation with Sam post-engagement. Not to mention, Sam posting new content with her when they go places or even last night, when they did an IG live (albeit quickly, like 25 seconds), while *her* Instagram is stuck with old photos and videos that are super generic. It just doesn't add up, and given everything we've objectively learned in all of the docs so far (and in general), there's serious doubt on whether it's actually Britney until the c-ship comes to an end.

Honestly, the best content we get of Britney still comes from Sam's IG, not her own, lol

Love you too bb but I firmly disagree with the above about Britney’s Instagram. It was widely reported that she got her socials back after the July 14th hearing after a Page Six report reaffirmed what we already knew about her lack of access, and the ACLU pushed for her to have it. I’m not going to deny that team con still has access to her socials, but with how much she’s posted about #FreeBritney, the conservatorship (minimally), eviscerated her sister multiple times, and how much gets deleted and reuploaded, either Cassie is really bad at her job (which… ok yeah) or it’s just Britney not knowing how to use a social media platform she hasn’t had access to before. Keep in mind this is brand new to her; the last time she was on social media, MySpace was a thing lol. This still feels pretty organic to me. 🤷🏼♂️ More than anything I’m just frustrated with Britney stans using “that’s not Britney” as an excuse to dismiss anything that doesn’t fit their own narrative. To be clear, that very well could have been Team Con, and I won’t deny that, but I think there’s enough evidence to suggest otherwise and to dismiss it outright is just playing dumb. Honestly, the best content we get of Britney still comes from Sam's IG, not her own, lol This I do agree with though, but I think Britney is more private about her relationship than Sam is. Honestly anyone who’s dated anyone for longer than 3 weeks can tell you how their SO puts s**t on their Instagram that you hate because they thought it was funny lol. Sam’s insta gives strong Dad energy too, which is adorable. Really hope they last because they seem like such a good fit.

The Netflix doc was fine. For stans who know most of the info, it wasn't a *ton* of new information, but I think it's a good primer for the general public.
However, the pacing was weird, since it focused heavily on 2007-2010 and that kind of rushed through everything after that, especially 2019-2021, which I thought was odd. Loved the ending though with her court testimony.
Didn't appreciate how they painted Sam and Adnan in a better light and didn't provide full context to those situations.
There was some new info though, like Jenny Eliscu helping Britney by getting her papers in secret to hire a new lawyer. There were a few more documents involved that show how shady Team Con has been too, but most of that we knew.

As a fan, I preferred the Controlling Britney Spears, but I liked the Netflix documentary. I liked that it seemed to cast a wider net in terms of people mentioned. It's nice to get more names of the players involved out there, even if in passing. Also, liked that they focused even more on Lou Taylor than other docs have. Sequentially, it definitely would have benefited from being released in between the two NYT docs instead of being the latest one since it spent a good amount of time on how the conservatorship was improperly put in place and the her time trying to fight it and get lawyers in the early days. The court documents mentioned in the Netflix doc really show how greedy and deceptive Team Con is. From court docs, you see that her medical team had concerns or objections to some of the work that Team Con signed Britney up for, yet they brushed it aside. This is where light begins to be shed on people like Larry, who constantly tries to distance himself from this. When her medical team had serious concerns about her signing up for X-Factor, Larry tried pushed back and try to claim that backing out would be just as bad, so her medical team begrudgingly agreed (but with strict terms). This seems to be a pattern where Team Con signs Britney up for something first without really consulting anyone, and then hide behind a legally binding contract to shield them from any sort of pushback.
This doc has probably also spent the most time examining Ingham's motives. He's managed to avoid a lot of deserved criticism due to his actions later on in the conservatorship but the focus on the early days really shows how he played his part (i.e. him helping to shut down Britney's plan to get a new lawyer involved that Rolling Stone journalist).
I also really liked how Britney was finally able to have that letter she wrote, read aloud publicly like she wanted. Overall, good documentary. I knew a lot of the stuff but I appreciated any new info I learned, and of course, appreciate this informing the general public and bringing awareness.
Here's hoping for good things for Britney today in court.

I agree with Eqbk - I did like the parts that focused on things that haven't been touched on as much - Ingham's motivates and in particular things like the X Factor debacle, which definitely gives more insight into that situation, and explains a lot of what we saw with her behavior on and off set on that show.
I also got the sense that there may have been something romantic between Britney and Andrew Gallery? He can get it though.

At minimum I expect Jamie’s removal and the interim conservator to assume control of her finances, but I wonder what they’re going to do about Jodie? She’s been radio silent since Jamie filed for (conditional) termination.
Should that happen I expect a lot of people to be fired, promptly. Bye bye Black Box and Crowd Surf.
Also, this kind of flew under the radar, but K-Fed is finally fully on board with #FreeBritney after the wire tapping allegations. His lawyer was… very clear about how unhappy he was that his kids were recorded without anyone’s consent.
Edit: the Netflix doc currently has a 29 on Metacritic. Most reviews are, lol, criticizing it for being exploitative.

There’s a supposed “leak” that the negative reviews were paid off by Lou Taylor because she’s pissed that they mentioned her in the documentary. Not much credibility but I could see it being true. girl anything the Britney fans don’t like is either not Britney or Lou buying people off. It’s not that deep 😭😭 Even the stans didn’t like the Netflix doc but they’ll defend ANYTHING at this point.

Yeah hopefully Britney’s father ends up being held criminally responsible for abusing his own daughter, I find it unbelievable that he was actually willing to place a recording device in his own daughters bedroom, Like seriously fuck Jamie Spears.

Britney got justice today but she is out for revenge (and rightfully so). Mr. Jamie Spears, I suspect is a very nervous man tonight.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY FINALLY!
I cannot wait to see Lou go down (I was able to track down that she was apart of the Spears family since 2006!)
The sad part is it's not over, by that I mean it's not like here you go 13 years, all the money and time back... She's gonna have a LOT of therapy (REAL THERAPY) to think about pursuing (yes I know she's not a believer in it that's why I said THINK about) She still has that damn custody, a million peeps with good intentions are gonna be coming fast, etc... some good stuff but jesus christ a lot to process...
I cannot believe it happened tbh that court system is corrupt...
