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.

Justin holds some blame from Britney demise the cheating episode and cry me a river song didn't help and encouraged the smear campaign/harassment.
IMO she was unlucky with post natal psychos and didn't get help.
The alzheimer diagnoses hasn't been investigated she is heavily drugged up.
The free Britney move has highlighted her plight.

Not saying she wasn't ill before pregnancy she partied hard.

Sarahandduck18 · 09/02/2021 10:18

My 2 cents are that like pp she seems to be this generation’s Judy Garland.

She isn’t going to make it to retirement age.

My best guess is she’s being financially abused by her father and others.

She’s suffering from some kind of medical condition, or more likely a combination of different conditions.

Drug use is alike likely contributing factor - just watch the autopsy programmes about various Hollywood stars- Elvis, Jackson, Whitney, Marilyn, Heath Ledger, Brittany Murphy, Anna Nicole Smith, Corey Haim and others.

It’s so sad and should be prosecuted as abuse of vulnerable people.

They are cash cows to greedy hangers on.

If only she could move out of Californian jurisdiction I’m sure she would have better protection from a crooked legal and medical system.

Emeraldshamrock · 09/02/2021 10:28

If she was as sick as they claim how is she is still working.
She's a prisoner.
Her DS has an injunction against her father.

@AKissAndASmile Ah ok. Grin

The dementia thing is bizarre, obvs I'm not an expert but I don't think most people think she had dementia.

As far as I understand it she had been on Adderall for ADHD as a teenager and has bipolar, which she has been open about www.independent.ie/entertainment/britney-spears-opens-up-on-bipolar-disorder-i-turn-into-a-different-person-29861547.html

I know that when they tried to put me on ADHD meds it sent me high as a kite!

It seems very unlikely she has dementia. Her dad shouldn'tve put that on the form.

brunetteonthebus · 09/02/2021 13:26

The bipolar comment was a throwaway thing, if you read the whole interview in (not in that link) context she was actually saying that when she's on stage it's like she's a different person.

She's never come out, not has anyone close to her and confirmed any diagnosis.

The only official thing there has been is a comment about dementia in some court papers. Way back in this thread someone explains it much better than me but they said that dementia itself isn't a diagnosis of anything, it's a set of varying symptoms that can be indicative of many different conditions. Again none of which have been confirmed.

Britney's boyfriend has called her dad a dick on Instagram today and when asked about it said this:
twitter.com/BritneyHiatus/status/1359201251108519937?s=19

I really hope something good is going to come out of this documentary for Britney...it's all really concerning

Emeraldshamrock · 09/02/2021 19:49

I thought her boyfriend worked for her Dad. Everything she does is censored nothing goes out without an okay.
It is sad even if she is as sick as they claim she should be allowed to have a mobile phone and SM.
I don't know how she lost the case considering the relationship with her father.

Emeraldshamrock · 09/02/2021 19:50

I really hope something good is going to come out of this documentary for Britney...it's all really concerning I doubt it considering the free britney movement was ignored.

HideTanner · 10/02/2021 13:10

The Paris Hilton doc on Youtube is another good insight into what it was like to be a female celeb at that time. I saw her in a whole new light after watching it.

Emeraldshamrock · 10/02/2021 20:00

@HideTanner The Whitney story is similar some many fabulously talented women fame destroys.
If DD had Whitney's voice I would rather she scrub toilets, Britney Murphy was another.

This looks like a step in the right direction.

Lottie2017 · 12/02/2021 19:52

Does anyone know where it is possible to watch the Framing Britney documentary? I couldn't find it on You Tube.

Cuppachino · 13/02/2021 18:26

Lottie2017

I watched it on YouTube before they removed it but honestly I didn't think it was that good. Deep Dive on YouTube do a far better documentary. It comes in 5 parts so takes a while to watch it all but it had far more information in it than Framing Britney documentary.

Lottie2017 · 14/02/2021 12:56

Thank you, that's great. I will definitely take a look.

Chickychoccyegg · 18/02/2021 19:49

Did anyone watch framing Britney spears on sky documentaries this weeks? I feel sorry for her, especially after watching the documentary, her dad is a complete money grabber, and she doesn't seem to have many people looking out for her wellbeing, looking back the way she was hounded and treated was awful

Bigshoelittleshoe · 25/03/2021 13:59

@Sunshiney1981

It almost doesn’t look like her... I mean I know she’s been unwell but if you compare her on this Instagram account to recent press photos she looks different. Like a look-a-like! Or am I imagining it?
I've only just been catching up on this thread and the IG account.

@sunshiney1981 - I thought this straight away - it's just not quite her and the voice on the IG videos also seem all wrong?!

RubyJam · 02/10/2021 13:06

Have just caught up with Britney’s Instagram … Shock

The totally naked shots
Writhing around in the sea

The same week she has been released from her conservatorship from her father

What is possessing her to act like this ? This Sam guy too , proposes the week the father is going to be removed ?
It just seems so fishy and like he has been waiting all along

She looks so bad in the insta shots , like she’s on something or zoned out

secular39 · 02/10/2021 13:30

@RubyJam I took the naked shots as a metaphor- more like a fuck you to her dad! and that she's free.

RubyJam · 02/10/2021 13:32

[quote secular39]@RubyJam I took the naked shots as a metaphor- more like a fuck you to her dad! and that she's free.[/quote]
YeH I totally get that , but it’s still really weird

And Sam must be taking these pics and encouraging her ?

I just think it’s a slippery slope now

Dartfordwarblerautumn · 02/10/2021 13:42

I read something today that quoted boyfriend saying he was “going to take care of her now”..or something similar.
My gut reaction to that was that it isn’t a good sign. She is not a child that needs to be looked after by an adult , but a women in her own right. If she does have mental health issues that she is going to be stepping out of a conservative legal framework with her father to a non legal controlling relationship with a boyfriend. 🤔🙄

RubyJam · 02/10/2021 13:49

@Dartfordwarblerautumn I totally agree

Reminds me of that weird other Sam guy from years ago that ended up controlling her …

queenofarles · 02/10/2021 13:56

I don’t think she was ever not unwell tbh,

ManifestingJoy · 02/10/2021 14:01

Im not on instagram but she has stayed strong in situations where she has been gaslit, invalidated, controlled, labelled and been simultaneously the cash cow the scape goat in her family.

The interview with gayle king dug back up recently showed that she is used to being goaded and baited. Or was it judy king?
