What on earth is going on with Britney now?

Her instagram posts have got worse and worse. Her latest one is so so strange. She seems very unwell :( Although there are all these comments saying other people run her instagram. I find that unlikely.

She seems to be very isolated...no friends to speak of. The repeated spinning and spinning is very bizarre. Free from her conservatorship yet she's seemingly living the exact same life and doing the same things as before.

AngelicaElizaAndPeggy · 07/11/2022 22:04

It's all very odd. She maintains that she is fine and living her best life, but she seems very manic.

Is she neurodiverse ? She reminds me very much of my eldest who has asd and adhd.

icelolly12 · 07/11/2022 22:08

I wouldn't be surprised if she is on the spectrum. She's very child like and was apparently always shy - she said her stage shows she morphed into stage show Britney. Maybe all that masking took its toll. I do have concerns about her husband and how genuine he is.

She is very bizarre, I don't understand why she is always pulling her shorts down..? I always wonder that.

Obviously I’m not medical just a parent and really seeing similarities with my dd. Dance really became an obsession and also there’s something about her intonation although we have different accents I can hear similarities from that sense . I may be wrong but it was the first thing I thought

Possibly the conservatorship was in her best interests?

FiveMins · 07/11/2022 22:12

She almost certainly is bipolar. I'm bipolar and can see lots of similar traits.

Badger1970 · 07/11/2022 22:13

I'm starting to think that there was a very good reason behind the Conservatorship.......... it's very sad watching her videos, she very clearly hasn't moved on from being age 21. I don't think there will be happy ending to her story somehow.

Mañanarama · 07/11/2022 22:15

Poor woman clearly had mental health issues, she has been exploited and paraded since childhood by everyone in her life - family, managers, friends, husbands. Frankly, it’s a miracle she’s still with us.

Eastie77Returns · 07/11/2022 22:21

It’s unfortunate that so many people jumped on the #freeBritney bandwagon and helped engineer the end of the Conservatorship. Her family are clearly toxic but I think some of their claims about her needing help were correct. I feel very sorry for her sons.

Totally agree.

Her behaviour is becoming more and more worrying since the conservatorship ended.

Cutemob · 07/11/2022 22:29

Just my opinion, from the way she always seems to want to display nudity or glimpses of it, but whilst carefree prancing for the camera, she seems like a sexualised child, which has red flags flying in my mind about what exactly has happened to her in the past. not a psychiatrist

Chuckle94 · 07/11/2022 22:35

Checking her Instagram account she has uploaded the same pic 3 times. I wonder if she really has control of her own Instagram

LaBellina · 07/11/2022 22:43

I’m genuinely concerned about her mental health and I’m disgusted by the Instagram comments encouraging her to continue this behavior. It’s clear some of her ‘fans’ do not think about her best interest at all, anyone with half a brain can see that something serious is going on with her. I was a vast supporter of #freeBrittney and I do still think her family exploited her in a disgusting way but it’s very clear she needs help. I also wonder where her husband is in all of this and if she has anyone around her who genuinely cares for her well-being.

Snugglemonkey · 07/11/2022 22:43

She certainly seems vulnerable. Her father was definitely not the one to be running her affairs though.

Watapalava · 07/11/2022 22:44

She needed that conservatorship

bunch of idiots protesting for anything or everything caused this

finallydones · 07/11/2022 22:50

she got stuck in the 90s

Kione · 07/11/2022 22:52

One thing is needing a conservatorship, another to give the rights to someone abusive.
She should still have support but clearly not from those that treated her like a cash machine.

Bipolar also comes to mind when I see her. She needs therapy and support, if only to navigate through what has been a strange life.

DarkDarkNight · 07/11/2022 22:53

I don’t know if it has been confirmed but I thought there had been talk about her being Bipolar. I feel sorry for her, she has been exploited for most of her life as a previous poster has said by her family, managers, boyfriends/husbands.

It may very well be the case that she needed some sort of guidance but her dad was the very last person who should have been in charge. Her parents are disgusting and have done very well out of controlling Britney for so long. I think she attracts partners who are only after one thing, I hope she has someone to give good financial advice so she will always be ok financially.

Frankola · 07/11/2022 22:57

There's a lot of questions on her insta if it's actually her posting or if she has been put into some kind of facility again. All the videos are her old house. She hasn't lived there for months but says the videos are taken "today" for example. She's also posting the red rose emoji again. I think something is amiss. Poor woman..

Kione · 08/11/2022 07:54

She also said not long ago that she didn't believe in God, now "God is the only cure", "by the grace of God I found some medication etc."
Not good.

Eastie77Returns · 08/11/2022 14:43

I see people are pleading with her husband in the Comments section to stop uploading the videos and exploiting her. It’s clear for all to see she is unwell and something is amiss. It seems quite sinister. You would hope Insta would feel they have a duty of care and block her account.

My thoughts were also bipolar. The one of her standing and dancing with no music was so strange and her saying how she looks smaller with music? I find it very odd that I’m not seeing it talked about in the media at all.

That is really odd … Hope she’s ok
