Dont know what it is but it all intrigues me, she looms happy enough though 💃

I think it's mean to find it amusing

Mouse82 · 18/02/2024 05:51

Is she really living her best life though.
If she was your friend or family member would you still say the same thing?

BarbieDangerous · 18/02/2024 06:00

I love Britney. I think it’s clear that dancing makes her happy as that’s all she really posts. She definitely doesn’t look well but there’s nothing any of us can do. If her family weren’t such horrible people, maybe they could have got her help.

Anyway, I’d love to know where she gets these low rise shorts/trousers from because that’s all she wears!

The conservatorship was in place for a reason. And while I don’t think that it should have been her father, I think that people were so caught up in that element that they failed to acknowledge that she clearly lacks capacity.
she clearly has some kind of sn. She should be back under a conservatorship where she is kept away from the public eye.

Justfinking · 18/02/2024 06:28

She's just dancing, isn't she just doing what she's always been doing either on camera or in concert. I don't really see how this is any different except her makeup doesn't look as polished as usual

MissMogwai · 18/02/2024 06:30

Not one aspect makes me think she's living her best life, the poor woman.
Clearly vulnerable and very sad - she looks ill.

Starseeking · 18/02/2024 06:44

I just went to look at her IG. I don't know much about mental health or drugs, but it's obvious all is not well with her; her teeth in particular look like she is declining, poor thing.

It would be great if a family member that she trusts (Mum? Son?) could help her to get the support she so desperately needs.

Wasn't there some talk of her having a degenerative neurological condition during the conservatorship hearings? Was that ever disproved? The constant spinning and repetitive dancing looks symptomatic of that to me. In which case, why hasn't someone stopped her posting on SM.

Yes, I think some folks are forgetting this. It went down hill publicly from when she shaved her head, the court documents are sealed, but th4 title page effectively said she had a form of dementia, there are types which can affect young people. She also suffers from a number of other mental conditions/illnesses.

at the time her lawyer said she didn’t have the capacity to understand a contract any more,and the condition was something that could never be recovered from, simply managed, and is degenerative.

her condition is nothing to do with being famous young or being exploited or her family. It is something she would have had even if she was Britney who worked down Tesco. She is far from unique sadly in having a diagnosis as a young adult, and having to live a life that is effectively managed. Many families will tell you this.

her family tried to stop all the hangers on, she was giving away her money and nearly bankrupt by the time the conservatoire was put in place.

sadly all the free Britney idiots have a lot to answer for. The evidence she is indeed very unwell and lacks capacity is there for us all to see.

she does have a full time care manager though, so hopefully the team supporting her can keep her safe, and if her mind has degenerated to the level that her ig posts are what she thinks she does, and it makes her happy, then as much as it’s not ideal for the public to be witnessing it, then it’s fine.

Beefcurtains79 · 18/02/2024 07:02

The free Britney crew have blood on their hands. She’s now a meth head with no one around to stop her.

shielder · 18/02/2024 07:03

@Lampslights I agree with you

TheTwirlyPoos · 18/02/2024 07:22

It's bizarre how anyone can 'like' these videos. She's clearly not OK.

vacay · 18/02/2024 07:27

But If she did have some sort of degenerative disease then would her sons really abandon her? Surely they would see she isn't well and it isn't her fault she acts in this way, not just effectively fuck her off and move to Hawaii with their dad

Her sons didn’t abandon her, she lost custody and it went to the father. Clearly as she was not able to parent.

edit, and from a very young age,

ChickFlickkss · 18/02/2024 07:34

On a kind of unrelated, but not really that unrelated note, does anyone else having grown up in the Britney era have an uncanny knack to impersonate her when dancing and singing to her songs?

I went to pop world a few years back and when hit me baby one more time came on, every woman of a certain age looked like they'd been hit with a britney boogie bomb. Was weird but I loved it.

vacay · 18/02/2024 07:35

@Lampslights yeah I know she lost custody but I mean they have said since they don't want to see her haven't they

Oh babay babay 😆

Seiheiki · 18/02/2024 07:37

She has the same look in her eyes as Amy Winehouse did towards the end.

user1492757084 · 18/02/2024 07:53

Very very sad.
Britney is not capable of caring for herself, clearly.
It's her choice to waste away and party and display like she does .. until she can't.

Watercolourpapier · 18/02/2024 07:55

Comfysock · 17/02/2024 21:59

😀 opps yep soz Britney...💃She looks like she's living her best life.

She appears to be very much not ok - not sure what you're seeing that makes it seem she's living her best life.

No one knows her medical details. Just because it says in those documents she had a form of dementia, doesn't make it true. Her dad wasn't past lying to get what he wanted.

Not saying there isn't anything wrong with her but we can't believe what we read.

SalmonEile · 18/02/2024 07:55

I think she’s clearly traumatized from being a child star with a shitty family.
Her whole celebrity identity was being young and sexy so it makes sense to me that that’s where she tries to go now
I think it’s sad she had to do all those Vegas shows against her will and a lot of the money appears to be missing

Regardless of the cause it can't have been easy to grow up with Britney as a mother. Remember the locking them in the bathroom incident. It would be understandable if they reached their limit.

Notahotmess · 18/02/2024 08:02

She's clearly severely unwell and pretending she's not isn't helping her.

unloquacious · 18/02/2024 08:02

I’m concerned for you @Comfysock if you as an adult look at that and think she is living her best life.

Newchapterbeckons · 18/02/2024 08:05

Whoever was filming and allowed this really do not have her best interests at heart. She looks very unwell. How is this funny or entertaining I will never know.
