Britney Spears: Artist Discussion

[SHOOTER]

Just because “Britney spoke” doesn’t mean all is well and these concerns are now nullified. All of this is speculative anyway. But it is nice to hear her and not have someone else speaking on her behalf.

Her handography, however, is giving me the most hope! Work bitch!

Yep. Her instagram doesn't change the fact that Andrew Wallet (a former co-conservator) urgently wanted to resign soon after he successfully petitioned for a salary increase. It doesn't change the fact that her extremely ill father was photographed last month attending a wedding, and driving around a few days ago. It doesn't change the fact The Blast initially reported that Jaime "made the ultimate decision for her to enter a facility" only to now report that Britney is "the one who made the decision to seek treatment, and she decided to stay until she finishes her current treatment program". It doesn't change the fact that stories have since come out about the extent of control her father exerts over her, such as when a staff member from "Extra" was banned from working with Britney b/c he never asked for Jaimie's permission to take a photo with her, even though she herself consented. I do hope she is genuinely okay and her team does have her best interest in mind but a lot of things still don't add up.

I think this whole movement has brought to the surface a lot of uneasy feelings fans have suppressed over the years. It's understandable for her fans to have these feelings b/c 1) There have been some shady/questionable things that have happened over the years regarding the conservatorship and 2) Most fans are coming from a place of genuine concern. It's okay to have these feelings and want to talk about it. Obviously, how some fans acted upon these feelings was not okay and completely crossed the line, regardless of their intentions. I can't get behind what the #freebritney movement has morphed into but I can empathize with the genuine concern a lot of her fans have had.

If you mean the missed opportunity for a number.1 smash from "Blackout" then YES I agree!

I don't know what was going on with the label back then and how they didn't hear the instant smash.
I remember working at a tanning salon at the time and a few of the girls who worked there LOVED it when the cd came out.
I wish she would work with Sean Garrett and team again.

[SHOOTER]

iNEED a Britney+Danja reunion!

Every song on Blackout could've been a single.

Omg 😔

It's definitely uncomfortable to hear David Lachapelle speaking out about Britney and how her situation has seemed "off" to him since the very beginning. I've always held on to the idea that at least her parents and Larry always had good intentions for her, but hearing him say that Larry made disgusting comments about her behind the scenes in quite a bit to take in.

More than anything, I just want the truth. I wouldn't care at all if Britney retired tomorrow, left us a voicemail saying all the crap that's gone on and that she's moving to a private island with her boys and never communicating with the world again. Such a sad, vile situation for grown adult men to take a young, beautiful talent and look at her as nothing more than a cash cow.

[It's me, bitch.]

Just watched the 2019 Billboard awards and looking back at 2016 I am still majorly impressed.

Britney Spears Leaves Court Barefoot ... Judge Orders Expert Evaluation

4:45 PM PT -- Britney and her parents agreed on one thing during the hearing. According to court docs, the judge ordered an expert evaluation.

The documents don't specify what the expert will be evaluating, but in conservatorship cases, it often involves a mental examination of the conservatee ... in this case, Britney. However, the judge says the parameters of that evaluation will be set by Jamie Spears and a court-appointed lawyer.

Additionally, we're told Britney asked the judge to allow her certain freedoms -- things she's not able to do under the conservatorship -- but the judge did not grant any of her requests.

The court's decision highlights what we've been reporting ... Britney's not doing well after her 30-day stay in a mental health facility.

3:40 PM PT -- Britney just left the courthouse in bizarre fashion ... no shoes, no socks -- barefoot. The courtroom was closed because her medical condition was discussed. Unclear so far what happened, but check back soon.

12:39 PM PT -- Several Britney fans have started to gather outside the courthouse with "Free Britney" posters and chants.

Britney Spears will make the drive from Thousand Oaks to downtown L.A. Friday ... appearing in court as her mom fights to get her medical files in what is turning into a family war.

Sources with knowledge tell us, Britney will appear with her mom, Lynne Spears, who is trying to gain access to her medical information. We're told Lynne does not want to become a co-conservator, which creates a weird legal argument ... the right to medical information but no right to act on it.

Britney's dad, Jamie Spears, has been her sole conservator for more than 11 years, and is widely credited with saving her life back in 2008, when the singer was off the rails.

As we reported, Lynne has been staying at Britney's home for more than a week. The 2 have been estranged for nearly 15 years. We're told Britney cut Lynne out of her life right after her breakup with Justin Timberlake. Over the last few months, Lynne has tried to reestablish a relationship.

TMZ has reported, Lynne became alarmed when she read various posts on social media that Jamie was allegedly forcing Britney into the mental health facility where she stayed for 30 days, and that he ordered doctors to ply her with certain drugs. FYI, Jamie does not have the power to do either.

^Frustrating that they’d report so incorrectly about Lynne — we know she and Britney made amends in 2008 and have been in each other’s lives since.

All of the reporting that I have found seems so biased. They either are clearly on Jaime’s payroll (ex: TMZ) or are #FreeBritney regardless of the consequences (ex: breatheheavy). I wish any of us could say we have enough information to make an informed judgement, but we don’t.

It does hurt to see hateful reporting though. She clearly had on high heels, which she is carrying in the photo. What woman hasn’t taken off high heels and carried them? They way it’s presented though is look at crazy barefoot Britney again.

This whole thing is a mess.

BRITNEY SPEARS
NOW PART OF 'FREE BRITNEY' MOVEMENT

Britney Spears has joined the social media movement to free her from her conservatorship, and she told the judge as much Friday when she was in court.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ, Britney has done an about-face, now telling the judge her father, Jamie Spears, committed her to a mental health facility a month ago against her will and also forced her to take drugs. We're also told Lynne Spears' lawyer echoed the allegation.

TMZ broke the story, Britney spent 30 days at an L.A. mental health facility after she began rapidly going downhill ... she stopped taking the drugs that kept her stable after they stopped working and doctors still have been unable to find the right combination.

As we reported, Jamie Spears does not have the power under the conservatorship to either commit Britney against her will or to ply her with drugs against her will. A mental health facility that accepted an adult patient against that patient's will when the conservator did not have such power would be committing a crime. And remember, Britney frequently left the place and was seen out and about.

Britney wants more freedom and asked the judge for certain adjustments ... but didn't get them. Sources tell us Britney would like to end the conservatorship, which has been operating for 11-plus years.

The judge took no action and has ordered an expert to evaluate Britney and until that happens there will be no change in the conservatorship ... but it has clearly created a family war.

I have no idea what is going on obviously, but what I do know is that TMZ using up paragraphs to repeatedly defend Jamie Spears and explaining what can and cannot be legally done is...odd...to me, given their love for salacious gossip and scandals. Admittedly I don’t read TMZ often unless someone posts an article on Pulse in a thread I follow, but I just can’t recall a time when they’ve tried to prove how a celebrity “scandal” is false in this way.

[Love Plastic Love]

TMZ is pretty clearly a mouthpiece for her dad/lawyers. Everything that has been released by them has worked very hard to exonerate him of any wrongdoing, ever, even if it means basically calling Britney crazy or wrong (like technically this release is doing).
This sounds like a nightmare though because, even if I believe TMZ is being manipulated in a certain direction, that doesn't necessarily mean that the exact opposite is true either. And meds can be tricky. I have personal experience with meds and getting the right combination that works long-term can be a complicated, delicate process. It is also shockingly common for people on meds like this to suddenly decide they don't need to be on them anymore, even if they need to be. Then we get into bodily autonomy-shouldn't Britney be allowed to say I don't want to take any meds? Which, technically, TMZ claims she is allowed to do that, but I am not entirely sure I believe that in practice. I can def believe they are basically forcing her into it.

Sorry this is rambling. I feel so bad for her and I really hope she is doing well or will find the care team that will allow her to continue doing well.

[Deleted]

Ugh, this is all such a mess. I mean, if Britney is truly mentally ill -- I'd imagine the main issue is not whether or not she is personally allowed to stop taking her medication, but whether or not she can be allowed to care for her children while unmedicated. This is obviously ALL speculation, but the kids and her custody is what complicates this ten-fold.

[Eqbk]

That TMZ article comes off very similarly to that article from The Blast that admitted/confirmed what happened was true but then tries to justify her father's/team's actions (even if those actions may not be legal). The fact that these articles (allegedly fed by her team) are trying to paint Britney as "crazy" for doing things like walking barefoot, makes me seriously question their motives. If they are truly looking out for her and she was truly in dire need, they wouldn't feel the need to stoop so low and drag her reputation like this.

What's sad about this whole situation is that in all these articles that have come out, there is not one mention about ways in which her father/team have tried to help rehabilitate her or help her to become more independent. There's just articles about all the restrictions placed on her, the things they've allegedly coerced/forced her to do "for her own good", and the further restrictions she faces when she does not comply. Assuming what's been alleged is true, this whole situation is a sad reminder, that for many, the mentally ill are seen as a burden to be pacified. Obviously, I and other fans do not know all the details but when this much money and assets are involved, nothing would surprise me. If there is shady (possibly illegal) things happening, I hope the right people can come in and rectify this whole situation.

[Anticonformity]

Unless its with respect, I REALLY hate the speculating on her mental health...

and I hate the whiplash the "fans" give themselves by one week beliveing TMZ when it fits the narrative that the "fan"s want and then dismissing them when it doesn't (Same with Sam Lutfi, who remember is the guy who would legit hide her damn dogs and she'd cry looking for them and then SURPRISE he found them, what a HERO!) *pukes*)

The truth will come out and whatever that is, it will be, but forcing our own beliefs/narratives is not helping Britney, instead educating ourselves about mental illnesses is the best... I wouldn't wish one on my worst enemy - it is the worst :(

I have "gone" to this therapist for roughly 7 years, she is so good and down to earth and rational about stuff (if you are struggling with anything please utilize her videos she a has a TON and reach out - I am here if you need to talk)

[adamalterlago]

This is all heartbreaking. As much of a fan as I am, I really feel that she's been wanting freedom to just live a normal life without music or performing. And she should get that. I say let her retire.

[BDGeek]

This woman deserves so much better than the crap she's going through.

[Ivy Leegue™]

Based on how she has been performing over the last I don't know how many years, this is a blessing in disguise. Let her focus on her babies and Instagram. She has more than earned it.

what's interesting is that her interviews/performances in 2016-2017 have been the best they have been since 2008. She has seemed the most like herself during the "Glory" era, regained almost full confidence and started giving multiple televised performances, more active on social media.....


which is what makes everything so confusing. As a fan, I'm not going to gleefully jump on the #freebritney bandwagon if there is actually a legit medical concern and because I remember 2007 still so vividly... I don't think her dad and her team are trying to hurt her or have inherently bad intentions. On the other hand, if she has appeared so confidently in VERY recent years and can do all these shows/world tours nonstop, why should there still be a conservatorship? And then that Andrew Wallet guy asking for a raise then resigning out of fear or being disbarred is weird. If the story about the meds suddenly not working is true, I can understand why there would be panic there as well though.


Apparently something like this happened in 2010 without the public knowing, and I wish this it could've been the same scenario now because there is no right or wrong way for the public/fans to interpret this.

Major life events trigger anxiety and depression start ups or if already in past history flare ups. Her dad‘s illness probably was the new straw to break the camels back.
