She totally needed the conservatorship when it started. There are enough pay offs/court testimony if you look online from people who worked for her that say she was a meth addict (amongst other things incl prescription drugs like Adderall, she was treated for ADHD as a teen) she had several undisclosed but diagnosed mental health conditions that she doesn't manage/self medicated for and she was never allowed to be alone with her (then) young children. She was very ill, addicted, almost bankrupt, unstable and allegedly, abusive in several ways to several people.
Should never have been under her Dad though.
In the conservatorship she was medicated, had a relationship with her kids (still wasn't ever allowed to be alone with them!) and worked. No one should be forced to work obviously, but for people with the conditions she allegedly has, a stable routine with medication can mean the difference between a somewhat stable existence and absolute chaos.
Free Britney - well that turned out well. She's unmedicated again, and clearly has been spiralling ever since. Her weird 'fan base' think she can do no wrong and will excuse any behaviour - that's if they're not claiming she'd dead/a clone/AI/not her but a body double blah blah blah. They're like rabid dogs on anyone who dares criticise her, including her own kids.
I'm not criticising her. She's clearly very very unwell. Her behaviour clearly indicates an individual who has several MH diagnoses that are not being treated. She may or may not be abusing drugs again. Even her personal hygiene, you can see it - she's clearly not capable of taking care of herself, she needs a damn good wash! Again, look for the old court testimony this is agin something that ex-employees who tried to sue her said. That she was filthy, made inappropriate advances, was always nude... the list goes on.
As for Sam? Clearly started on the payroll, he was down as her 'Chef' originally. Whether it grew into a real relationship or not who knows but he was with her/fell for her (if he did) whilst she was medicated and stable. Conservatorship ends, she goes off meds and all of a sudden he's got a whole new messy person as his wife. One who sometimes - even if it's not her fault - behaves in really challenging ways (look at the way she was awful, so awful, to her minor children a while back!).
I wouldn't hang around either, not if the person I was married to was so ill and point blank refused to get help or treatment.
I don't see a pleasant end for her. I hope I'm wrong. She needs care, proper medical care.
