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.

I really feel for her, she seems so manic and vulnerable.

She constantly posts clips of her spinning around the house. Also she seems to wear tiny shorts and crop top in a variety of colours.

I don't think things have moved on really since she got rid of the conservatorship. I'm not convinced her new husband has her best interests at heart.

Her posts are strange, rambling and incoherent. A lot of the comments on Insta are people really concerned about her. Interesting that someone pointed out the recent top she talked about in one of her posts is by Free People.

It's very easy to say that the conservatorship might have been necessary, but the fact is that she has a number of conditions that are eminently treatable, and resources we can only dream of.

Instead, they drugged her to the eyeballs, kept her going as a money spinner, and seemingly gave her no therapy or education in parenting.

She was placed under a conservatorship on the basis that she lashed out at a photographer and cut her hair.

The medical document needed as the basis of the conservatorship was never filed.

The type of conservatorship was for both the person and the estate. These are for people who have dementia. If you are capable of being an xfactor judge and going a Vegas residency then this is not appropriate.

She was isolated and supervised at all times. It was state sanctioned coercive control. If she didn't do what her father wanted her to do then they would with old her kids from her.

She acknowledged to the judge that she needed therapy but wanted to choose her own therapist.

Please stop pathologising her (although I like the ND suggestion - burn out from masking). She has experienced trauma and is now reacting to that trauma.

Please listen to toxic the Britney spears story and the relevant episodes of crime analyst.

I really hope she isn't using drugs , she doesn't look well at all.

I agree that she clearly needs mental health support, but it's madness to say that she should be back under a conservatorship - it just led to her being exploited and controlled by her abusive father. She was under it for years and got worse, not better, so it obviously wasn't helping for her.

People are allowed to be mentally ill and to make poor life choices. The only reason that she was under a conservatorship at all was because she was rich and vulnerable and people wanted to get their hands on her money.

She's been a product since she was young , whatever is going on with her now is probably to do with that .

No way has she had a normal childhood

Let’s assume she has had various diagnoses and has taken an awful lot of prescription medication over a decade. Let’s also assume she may still be taking them. Then things start to make more sense.
