to feel so very unnerved by Britney’s Instagram?

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.

The post got deleted but it looked on zooming in that shed managed to get her eyelashes to real call 911

thisismycodename · 08/12/2020 18:05

Yes, there was 'Call' on one set of bottom eyelashes and '911' on the other. One of those weird things that it wasn't obvious but once you saw it you couldn't unsee it. If it'd been posted elsewhere I'd have assumed it was just doctored by a weirdo but I saw it when it was on her own Instagram feed.

It was odd.

Whatnext2018 · 08/12/2020 19:48

That’s so strange...

Onedropbeat · 08/12/2020 20:06

It really was

It was literally a post of her eyes in close up

She’s posted other things that get deleted within the hour that when I’ve seen them have shocked me

Stuff about child abduction and abuse

The eyelashes thing is baloney. The photos are on Twitter. They don’t ‘say’ anything at all. (Of course they don’t!!)

I know. It’s just crazy the things people imagine and then others believe. The same as the Illuminati sign one, it’s honestly disturbing if folks believe this stuff,
thisismycodename · 08/12/2020 22:34

It wasn't a shot of her eyes close up, it was a head and shoulders shot. But people had posted zoomed and cropped photos in the comments and I thought 'oh what bullshit is this' and zoomed in myself on the actual Instagram post. And I could see it.

That photo below is really fuzzy. It wasn't, it was a clear, normal photo which was later deleted:

I'm not prone to flights of fancy, I think the vast majority of people who post in the comments are insane. I also don't actually believe it's a conspiracy, she seems to be a very unwell woman who is being restricted because she doesn't have capacity. But those cropped shots online are what was visible on her actual page.

It was close up

It was a series of shots in one post - a head and shoulders , and then just an eye

*I think of this we're the early years of the conservatorship then I could believe that a small number of doctors etc were being paid off. This far along? There are so many people who will have been involved over the years it's highly highly unlikely that they've all been paid off and hushed up... and no ones spoken about it.

The truth is usually stranger that fiction as they say. I suspect this is what it says on the tin, a very unwell young woman being cared for at home under severe restrictions for her own safety and well-being.

The kindness and sensibility of allowing her to post when she is so obviously not well is another matter. If it were my family member I wouldn't do it. I'd hate to know how she'd feel if she reads the comments some are really unkind (and others completely bat shit crazy)

I saw the '911' in the eyelashes Insta post though. It was there, it was quite obvious. I can't think why anyone would do that.*

I don't think doctors needed to be paid off in the early years of conservatorship because I think at that time she was after going through a breakdown. What I am questioning is if all this lack of control over her life has actually caused more harm than good?
If any of us had a breakdown and then lost all control of our own lives forever more then would we even have a chance to recover??

I didn't see the instagram post but have looked online and don't see call 911 in her lashes at all. This is the closest picture I found and it's a reach to say it says anything at all.

@Wildswim

Just checked her Instagram, the one eye /eye of providence is a recent post - a classic Illuminati symbol.

Whatever is going on, there is something deeply disturbing about her situation.

There's actually about 5 single eye posts this year!
namechangedtoaskaQ · 09/12/2020 12:35

This photo is on her boyfriends Instagram. Why whenever she’s outside home is she looking away, face covered or like this one, her face has been photoshopped. Round the chin/neck area!

That pics also on her Instagram and she’s sitting relaxing, she’s heading to hawai or somewhere.

Ffs that eyelashes thing is ridiculous. Who the hell came up with that.

I think its quite obvious why she covers herself when shes outside. The whole head shaving incident was because shes fed up of people talking about/touching her hair etc. so its not too much to imagine she has a hatred of being recognised.

No, that's not what I mean. I mean when any photo's of outside the home it's usually not face on! Her face isn't covered to the public around her, just not viewable in the photo.
OldOrMaybeNotThatOld · 10/12/2020 04:19

I’m jumping on late. What does this conservatorship actually have control over besides money? She obviously has a phone, shops, drives, has a boyfriend (who is this guy?) goes on fancy holidays and lives on her own... pretty much a normal life albeit probably a normal life under the influence of medication like a lot of other normal people. Does she just not have access to her fortune to do as she pleases? And obviously restrictions on her kids visitation.

OldOrMaybeNotThatOld · 10/12/2020 04:26

Good god what have I been sucked into... a Father’s Day post and a bunch of people who believe her dad is running her Instagram account? Gaps in teeth and no gaps in teeth.

Guess what I’m going to be spending the day doing??? Wink

purpledagger · 10/12/2020 06:50

From what I've read, the conservatorship pretty much oversees all aspects of her life. So, she can't buy or sell any houses, sign any contracts and can ban her from seeing particular people.

YoungScrappyHungry · 10/12/2020 07:44

Well I've read the whole thread and the main development I've taken from it is that @Bluntness100 is Jamie (and still hasn't backed up their claims with actual sources btw, just saying)

The whole thing is very sad, however which way you swing it. The girl never stood a chance.

user1471565182 · 10/12/2020 07:50

She cant use the phone without permission, cant drive, cant go out with permission and a lot of sources say her boyfriend is her fathers employee.

Other than the boyfriend this is normal for many mental health patients.

And remember she’s not arguing she needs the conservatoire.

The boyfriend thing I find odd as well, it is heavily rumoured they are employees and I’d believe that, it would be too hard for her to meet folks and find a boyfriend normally,,,,, but if it gives her company and she is happy and believes him to be her boyfriend and he treats her with kindness I think it’s ok. I wouldn’t pre judge.

Obvs her dancing, performing, insta posts, etc all make her happy and lead her to feel she is living what is a ,”normal” life for her, and she is clearly very close to her care manager, who she wanted to take over the conservatoire. She also has days out, vacations etc,

Clearly what she does is managed, she is obvs aware to some extent of the concern for her, as she addressed it on one of her posts. However if you look at the videos she does when she says she’s answering the most commonly asked questions, she is clearly not, it’s all what is your favourite Disney movie or fave vacation place, which is not what people ask her the most. So she’s protected here.

Overall I think there is likely quite a lot of people trying to do their best for her, in hugely hugely difficult circumstances.
