to feel so very unnerved by Britney’s Instagram?

[Lesserspottedmama]

Just that. I rarely use Instagram but found myself scrolling Britney Spears account today. It’s incredibly unnerving. She is clearly very very unwell. I found some of her videos disturbing and hard to watch.

[SalmonEile]

I’ve followed her career on and off since the beginning and I agree we’ll never know the full story but what I will say is it’s been interesting to watch how the narrative among fans and the media has changed over the years
When Jamie took over he was the hero who saved Britney and she was a strong comeback queen killing it with her tours and Vegas shows etc , Sam Lufti was the bad guy who’d been drugging her,
Now we’re hearing that Jamie is the bad guy who’s been drugging her and forcing her to work
And the most worrying thing of all , and yes I’m doing it too by contributing to this thread and reading the articles, is we’re still in a position where every move she makes is being watched and analyzed and followed
And unless she chooses to retire to the back of beyond and live a quiet life (which may every well be what she wants) I can see the situation with the paparazzi happening all over again

Cripes. It DOESNT mean Britney has dementia or any symptoms suggesting it.

[BalladOfBarryAndFreda]

*they ARE awarded

[BalladOfBarryAndFreda]

Dementia is talked about because, most people under conservatorship are older people and have dementia. It is unusual for a person of Britney Spears’ age to have one and they awarded in cases where the person does not have capacity, not solely dementia. It mean Britney has dementia or any symptoms suggesting dementia and I don’t think it has ever been suggested that she has.

[ManifestingJoy]

Also, there's no magic drug to mask dementia!

[ManifestingJoy]

I don't think the legal documents say anything about dementia. I follow a youtuber ''live abuse free' and she was talking about the fact that there is no diagnosis of anything ?!

[Patapouf]

She is forced to take a lot of medication that she has no say in. She has no say in most aspects of her life because she is controlled by her father.
She has no access to her own money. She cannot even make contraceptive choices without her fathers input.

@Nailsonachalkb0ard

Has she or anybody else ever disclosed what mental health condition(s) she suffers from?

Dementia is always talked about as it is in the legal documents, but is widely questioned as it is so unlikely

[Frankola]

If you watch any of the recent documentaries about her conservatorship it's pretty clear.

I reckon it's her "team" behind all of the posting and it's purposely being done in a way that suggests she needs to stay under her father's care

[Penistoe]

I don’t see it. She lives In cali so makeup tends to sweat off. She just doesn’t bother to touch it up perfectly.
The spinning and dancing is her actual routines. She says this.
The naked photo was about freedom.

I think you think she is unwell because that’s the narrative we were fed, so seeing it.

[JackieWeaverHandforthCouncil]

Britney makes far less money than Taylor Swift because she doesn’t write her own music plus she hasn't released any music or performed for a while.


In addition, before she was put under the conservatorship she was spending her way to financial ruin aided and abetted by an entourage of hangers on. She was spending tens of thousands of dollars a month in fast food restaurants for dozens of people.

The conservatorship was done badly but she needs professional help health wise and someone protecting her money.

[RubyJam]

It wasn’t just because she kicked off at a reporter and cut her hair off.

There is much more to this than will be in the public domain.

[StrictlyAFemaleFemale]

Shes been the victim of state sanctioned coercive control for 13 long years. Can we please stop pathologising someone we've never met? She was allegedly recorded at all times and if she broke the house rules she would be punished by having contact with her children withheld. She has an IUD she isnt allowed to have removed. She has been forced to perform a gruelling schedule for years in vegas. She asked for Jamie to have random drug tests and was essentially laughed out of court. Her estate is worth a fraction of Taylor Swift due to probable embezzlement.

Why? All because she kicked off at a reporter and cut her hair. Let that sink in.
Who wouldnt look a little dead in the eyes after all that?

[Autumngoldleaf]

I havant followed the situation at all, it all sounds so bizzare I Can't get my head around it and if something is wrong with her how come it's not public?.
It's all very worrying and as said and awful that it is for her it's the children I'm more concerned about as well

[AlfonsoTheDinosaur]

Bipolar Disorder? It would make her vulnerable to people wanting to exploit her, that's for sure. Poor thing.

[anon12345678901]

@Nailsonachalkb0ard

Has she or anybody else ever disclosed what mental health condition(s) she suffers from?

She's talked in the past about having bipolar disorder. With individuals who have bipolar and large amounts of money, I would say it's sensible for her not to be able to access it all.

[Theythinkitsalloveritisnow]

I have a mental illness and I've always found the thought of being that controlled terrifying. I mean seriously scares the shit out of me. I've been sectioned several times but it's a very tightly legislated part of health care. If she needs help, she should have it provided by HCPs who are continually expected to justify any restrictions. It shouldn't just be accepted to just go on for years

[StrangeAddiction]

I'm slightly confused of some of the claims over the year(s). I'd heard she was like a prisoner in her own home but she manages to her off on holiday and she's been driving around talking about one of the songs she wrote.. She wasn't allowed a phone despite evidence to the contrary (posting on social media and being photographed holding her phone).

I personally think she is quite unwell mental health wise and I'm not even really convinced her dad is the bad guy. He's said before that he can't spend her money as every cent has to be accounted for and cross checked with another person. I'm hoping he's trying to look after her and protect her, her money and her children's future inheritance from people using her and probably even from herself.

@Lampzade

Just had a look at her Instagram because of this thread. She is definitely unwell. So damn sad

Yes, same. And I was actually prepared to say that people are overthinking it (possibly by the content not matching the picture-perfect expectations of a pop star's instagram - ie comments about smudged eye makeup etc). But no, she really seems very unwell.

[RubyJam]

Agree @anon12345678901

[rocklamp]

I think perhaps somebody totally independent should be assigned to assist her, going forward. She's obviously unwell, but even unwell people are entitled to their freedom. I just think it's sad that people are after her money and don't have her best interests at heart.

[anon12345678901]

I don't disagree the conservatorship was completely unacceptable, but she seems as though she needs some form of help. Let's be honest, if you were trying to convince people you could cope on your own without intervention, would you really decide to start posting naked photos. It doesn't help the case. And right now she needs to convince a judge she doesn't need it.
She has been through a lot and if she needs support and guidance, this needs to be properly given.

[RubyJam]

Does anybody think it’s Sam who is writing the Insta posts ?

There have been quite a few posts to include swear words and the way it’s written doesn’t seem to ring true to me that it comes from her …

[insatiableme]

Maybe she does need support as she is ill. But the conserveship takes too many of her human rights away. How many of us post on social media and people think wtf! She isn't harming any one or herself with her posts. If she wants to twirl round and round and post it every day she should be allowed. Sounds like she has been controlled emotionally and financially abused for years. That would affect anyone. The poor girl has been through allot and it will take time.
