Ok that’s v good point - it IS always selfish. But it’s quite clear what I am driving at.

@Giraffesandbottoms

I do get your point but most of us, if we have cripplingly bad mental health, wouldn't also have an army of professionals on hand for support.

I just can't begrudge her having a child. She obviously loves her boys and has wanted another baby for years, apparently. That alongside all the professional support she can buy in, arguably puts her in a better situation to have a baby than a lot of people!

DeeCeeCherry · 12/04/2022 10:02

I wish her the health and happiness she deserves.

She's a woman who's had trauma inflicted upon her for years so it's a bit off to make throwaway comnents about mental health and imply she shouldn't be a mother.

Hopefully she has support around her.

She didn't lose custody of her boys because of her actions, her dad hit one of the boys and wouldn't stay out of her life so they could stay with her properly.

EmeraldShamrock1 · 12/04/2022 11:09

I hope she has support, SS will be watching and waiting to pounce.
I don't want her to face the history repeating itself.
Let's him this guy is a good guy.

puffyisgood · 12/04/2022 11:11

I do follow her Instagram. She comes across as barely compos mentis. Some of the more eccentric posts end up getting deleted. They're the sort of thing I'd expect from I suppose a not-terribly-literate tweenager.

The conservatorship thing may be over but in practice I'd guess that the people close to her [husband, managers, lawyers, etc] are going to have an awful lot of influence over her. Fingers crossed it all works out for her & that the new[ish] chap will be a good dad.

Her Dad hit her boy years after Kevin filed for custody.

She lost them after being sectioned, the incident which she was locked in the bathroom was the final straw after a lot erratically behaviours in public.

EmeraldShamrock1 · 12/04/2022 11:14

Driving with baby on lap and drug use.

The hair shave prevented it been taking for drug analysis.

It was horrible but she wasn't well.

Calennig · 12/04/2022 11:20

I don't follow her on social media but what I did see covering this I thought this was one of the big reasons she wanted it lifted - as she was being forced onto birth control despite her wanting another child.

It's certainly possivle pg could adversly affect her mental health - but it's also possible that not having to perform with associated pressures may mean she has a better time of it this time - plus she has money enough to buy help and support and I image their are authorities in US who can step in if needed.

Siameasy · 12/04/2022 11:30

I hope she has alot of professional help around her

Wavygravy1 · 12/04/2022 11:34

Her Instagram posts are always quite concerning, it’s a shame

Why are they "concerning"?

Stellamar · 12/04/2022 12:00

Good luck to her. She's been through a lot and I hope that she finds peace and happiness with her husband and new baby.

EmeraldShamrock1 · 12/04/2022 12:01

Why are they "concerning"?
She looks drugged spinning around doing the same dance with smudges of makeup scantily clad clothes, flashing her body, not the actions of a 40 year old millionaire.

Scianel · 12/04/2022 12:17

She doesn't look drugged, she's just buggering about.
So what if her eyeliner is smudged? So's mine most of the time, it doesn't make me mentally ill.
Her body is excellent, she clearly trains hard and is proud of it.

Why not?

She has made her millions dancing around in scantily clad clothes. Who are you to decide that doing it on Instagram means she is mentally ill?

EmeraldShamrock1 · 12/04/2022 12:27

As have many others have and now not so much.
She seems stuck like a young teenager.

Well she is mentally ill regardless of my opinion, it is very sad.
It's understandable why she is stuck.

She doesn't look remotely drugged.

Her career was built on her being "scantily clad".

Her body is fantastic. Why shouldn't she "flash" it?

This is nothing more than a bitch-fest.

SexyLittleNosferatu · 12/04/2022 12:29

How does she seem "stuck like a young teenager"? Have you decided how 40 year old women should act and if they don't then they are acting like a teenager?

Millions of people live with bipolar. Constantly repeating "it's sad" isn't convincing anyone. You wanted a good ol' bitch, just own it. Don't hide behind faux concern about a strangers mental health.

NotTheOW · 12/04/2022 12:29

Nasty thread. Who are we to judge.

EmeraldShamrock1 · 12/04/2022 12:39

Millions of people live with bipolar.
True, Britney's diagnosis has never been confirmed and although she was prescribed lithium that isn't confirmation of her diagnosis.

I don't have faux concerns about Britney, I loved her music IMO she comes across child like, similarly to Nikki Graham, and many people whose life was robbed by severe MH issues throughout their younger life.

What do you mean "not so much now"? Do you think nobody has watched her since she was a teenager? She still makes millions performing. You obviously don't know much about her and yet you think you know all about her mental health

Not so much now was in reference to other 40 Y.o celebrities who made money dancing around half dressed in their younger days who don’t do it now.
If you think it's perfectly normal for celebrities of her calibre that is your opinion.
I find it strange.

SemperIdem · 12/04/2022 14:13

@dianthus101

I think she meant that Britney’s peers who were all marketed in the same way in the same era, have all moved on, whereas she seems to be stuck where she was before it all went wrong for her.

I’m another who doesn’t think she seems a well woman and find her social media posts discomforting. Doesn’t mean I wish her any ill, I most certainly don’t.

Madonna still prances around without much on and she is about 60. I'm sure there are plenty of other performers doing the same thing so not particularly unusual. Even if it was there is no law stating that as soon as you turn 40 you must do something different with your career and that if you don't you have mental health problems. Don't be ridiculous.
