Britney Spear's book

[Mooshamoo]

Her autobiography is out today. Did anyone read it. Honestly it's shocking.

What they put her through under the conservatorship. It's really awful. It's nearly unbelievable.

She wasn't allowed to eat what she wanted. She wasn't allowed to see her children.

Her father would lock her up in psychiatric centres if she disagreed with him .

Really awful.

It's nearly unbelievable.

Remember that there are three sides to everything

Yes but a lot of what she said rings very true.

They told her that she needed a conservator because she was mentally ill. Yet Her father was an alcoholic. Why would you let him be a conservator of anyone.

But the court let him be her conservator. He got to make all of her decisions.

Those are facts.

As her conservator, he financially gained millions off her.

Judging my her Instagram posts she's not mentally well. Her boys don't want out to do with her. She needed the support but her dad wasn't the right person to give it.

A lot of people are not mentally well. They don't get put into conservatorships.

Read her book if you can. Her dad didn't support her as conservator. He abused her.

I wouldn't believe anything she's written. She's clearly very unwell mentally and delusional. I don't think her father was the best person to be in control but she certainly needs someone taking care of her.

I would take what she says with a pinch of salt.

She is clearly, very, mentally unwell. I don’t know if it’s a conservator she needs but she needs help.

She is clearly very unwell. I wouldn’t take what she has written as the truth. I don’t think her father was the correct person to be in charge of her life but she very obviously needs someone to care for her.

She's a mess who blames everything thts gone wrong in her life on someone else. I had a huge amount of sympathy and goodwill towards you and would have loved to see her get better but she is her own worst enemy....and the leaked tapes of the way she speaks to her sons is vile. Britney is evidently the most important person in Britneys world. I have no doubt that her life has often been awful, and no doubt that she has severe mental illness, but I think she is also a black hole of neediness and narcissim.

Does her father also need help then. A lot of people have said that he is an abusive alcoholic.

Should be put under a conservatoship and not be allowed to access his own money?

Conservatorships are a scary way to abuse someone. While it's good that she's free of her conservatorship, I worry that she's not well yet - never mind write a book. Is her book written by her and free from editorial control from people who financially benefit from Britney? I hope that she is well enough to remember events accurately and isn't going to be taken to court for inaccuracies and have to give away even more of her money. She has always had the vultures circling her for money and she can't be free until the money is all gone.

Britney is very obviously struggling.

Her family has probably a lot to do with it, she's their victim as much as anything else.

I'm a little bit shocked at all the posts on here saying she's clearly very mentally unwell, and not one saying she was abused.

So what if she is mentall unwell. A lot of people are. I just listened to a singer here in Ireland talking about his bad mental health and how he is constantly in and out of therapy. No one out him under a conservatorship.

Even if people are mentally unwell, they are not supposed to be abused.

Read the book.

She wasn't allowed to eat the food she wanted.
She wasn't allowed to access her own money.
She wasn't allowed to drive a car.
She wasn't allowed to use the contraception she wanted.
If she disagreed with anything about a tour, her father put her in psychiatric care.

I know very little about her or the situation. What I do know is that the US is incredibly litigious so I'd assume that claims and statements in black and white in a book published by a major publishing house are likely to be at least vaguely true.

Again, I would take everything she says with a pinch of salt.

For some reason you don’t want to believe how mentally unwell she is so I think you’re in the wrong place if you’re looking for one minded people.

You just have to watch her videos she posts almost daily to know she isn't well. She needs help from someone that her best interests at heart, sadly that person(s) doesn't seem to exist

Her father knew she was mentally unwell but though it was fine for her to continue to tour for years. I wonder why

It’s worth remembering that the publication was delayed while lawyers checked stuff out. The fact it has now been published suggests affected parties agree that it is factually correct.

The press reports in the summer were that lawyers representing Justin Timberlake and Colin Farrell were involved.

I'm not familiar with the background to this book.
Did she write it herself? Did she get someone independent to write it? It was it someone that she trusts?
I think that there's a lot of people who still want to exploit Britney and I am concerned about the possibility that she has divulged stuff in her book that she wants to keep private or that she has been coerced to divulge stuff that is going to land her with a lawsuit.
If she wants an Instagram feed where she spins and dances with knives then that is fine but it's not clear if she has people guiding her that are centring her interests. I hope that her Instagram videos aren't an attempt to create evidence to drag her back into a conservatorship type situation so that people can continue to drain her bank accounts again.

Read what I'm saying again. I'm not saying that she is not mentall unwell.

I am saying that she is mentally unwell.

That is not unusual. Many many many people are mentally unwell. Many people have depression, anxiety.

No other mentally unwell people are put under conservatorships.

The conservatorship in this case, made her family gain a lot of money out of it.

She was abused.

It doesn't matter that she is mentally unwell. What matters is the treatment that was given to her when she was mentally unwell. She was very abused.

For a start, they appointed an abusive alcoholic to be her conservator.

Second as her conservator , he himself benefited hugely financially off her tour. That is a conflict of interest.

Why should a conservator , who is meant to be helping you, - actually take all your money for himself

I don’t need to reread what you’re saying.

What you need to understand is you can’t take her POV and side of things as gospel.

I doubt her side of the story very much.

@BoohooWoohoo I'd guess it was ghost written at least in part, but the BBC review comments on the style of writing: "Spears is a straightforward writer. She doesn't embellish or decorate her prose. That matter-of-fact style amplifies the horror of those years."

Britney Spears' book: The Woman In Me is an angry, cautionary tale - BBC News

Have you even read up on the case. A lot of things she says in the book have already been proven as fact.

Why do you think that her father was suspended by a court as her conservator

Court of public opinion would have had a huge part in things. As would manipulation of the media.

Britney can be both mentally unwell and a victim of abuse.

I don’t think anyone is disagreeing with you on that OP, but I am personally concerned that her telling her story for this book could be another form of abuse and she is being taken advantage of again.

She is delusional. She needs to be back under a conservatorship. I accept that her father isn't the right person, but someone needs to be.
