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.

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.

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.

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

@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

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.

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 ?!

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

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.

BalladOfBarryAndFreda · 03/10/2021 19:53

*they ARE awarded

BalladOfBarryAndFreda · 03/10/2021 19:54

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

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
