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.

I think Britney has been mentally unwell for a very long time, and because of her wealth and fame, she was more vulnerable to people taking advantage of her than a lot of people would be.
Unfortunately it seems some of the first people to do that were her family - she really wasn't protected or looked after pretty much from the second she started making them money.

A conservatorship is supposed to ensure people who lack capacity are able to access help and are protected.

In Britneys case, I really do think she needs an outsider whose only job is to protect her however, that person shouldn't be a member of her family and definitely should exclude anyone that is able to make money from her.

While I wouldn't assume everything she's put in the book is true, her feelings and memories need to be considered, especially if you think the amount of control she lost when the conservatorship was put in place. It is sickening and it does make you wonder how many others are in that situation but without fans who can sway public opinion and have it overturned.

I also think it's a bit scary how different men and women are treated.

I live in ireland. There is a famous male singer here who constantly talks about his own bad mental health.

He said that he was doing a Tv show and he had a panic attack so bad that he was rolling round the floor unable to breathe, seconds before he went out.

He said that he constantly struggles with severe poor mental health and anxiety.

He said that he broke his own arm once in self harm, as the pain in his head is so bad.

He is constantly talked about really positively in the media. That he is enabling mental health discussions, that he is a positive force for good.

Britney spears did less extreme actions than that in mental health

She didn't break her own arm. I think all she did was refuse to hand her children back for a couple of hours one time, she shaved her hair, and hit a paparazzis car door with a small umbrella

Yet she is called :extremely mentally unwell, a loon , crazy, unhinged, permanently mentally unwell. She is treated like a child.

I see the Irish male singer giving speeches, writing books and and being applauded.

Britney is called crazy and is treated like she is unable to even look after himself. Why do we treat men and women differently.

I'm just starting it. Disappointed how thin the book is and no photos! I thought there would be loads like other autobiographies.

Her insta posts are clearly showing an unwell woman, however I can't get past that those around her thought she was incapacitated enough to have a conservatorship (which is usually granted for those with severe dementia etc) but well enough to work, go on tour, tv and continue to be the family cash cow. That wasn't right at all.

Justin Timberlake also doesn't come off well in the book.

According to her, he made her have an abortion.

According to her, justin had sex with other women, while Justin and Britney were together.

Then she kissed another man, and Justin demonised her for cheating. Even though he had cheated himself.

Not just what Britney said. But a few people have said stuff about Justin now. He sounds a bit selfish and heartless

Put through that, I would be EXTREMELY mentally unwell.

She's not the first woman who's dated a man who is later exposed as a wrong 'un. I am glad that JT's true nature has been exposed but it's taken extraordinarily long. I also know that it's standard practice for showmances to be used to try and raise the profile of both people in the couple. Was she genuinely in love or did management encourage the romance for strategic reasons? (I'm not being goady- I don't know )

I agree about how her dad was totally unsuitable to look after her during the conservatorship and it's strange how the most famous people I know who have been under one are both female of a similar age (Britney and Amanda Bynes)

You can undergo trauma and be mentally ill. Scarily, we probably only know a fraction of what she went through.

I believe her. I think she's traumatised and therefore unwell. I have no reason not to think her family didn't use her like a cash cow since she was a child.

Loads of people are mentally unwell, they don’t get put under a conservaship.

I feel very sorry for her. At the end of the day she has nothing. Money is nothing without having your loved ones to share it with. She's lost her kids, some so-called friends, her whole family and she's also just split with the husband.

I dont believe that Spears is fully liberated. While the conservatorship has ended, there is still a care plan in place under some of the same people who abused her during the conservatorship.

The "wedding" to Asghari is only one of the many bizarre things that have happened since the conservatorship formally ended, but there are many more, including extensive use of green screens and face swapping on social media posts.

My personal belief is that Spears is still being controlled and silenced, while a media narrative of her being unstable and mental ill is pushed while her family is painted as the bad guys (I'm not saying they arent, just that they werent the only ones), setting her up for future control.

Is that Bressie?

Yes Bressie. I see posters up around the place, saying that he is giving talks and workshops on mental health.

He has had very bad mental health. And he is very supported now. Which is how it should be . We should applaud people for talking about their mental health struggles. We all go through mental health struggles at times.

I just wonder why he is supported and applauded and Britney is called a crazy lunatic. I know she is much more famous and more open to attack. But also I think it is also to do with being a woman.

My understanding, based on Britney’s social media posts, is that she is still very far from well. Therefore, I won’t be buying or reading this book because it is unclear how much of is actually, verifiably true and how much is a reflection of her serious ongoing mental health problems.

Trouble is when someone is that unwell, how much of what they're recalling was right? Especially if they were on a lot of medication.

I'm not sure that this needed to be published at all.

understand she may have mental health problems...but how was it acceptable that she was under a 13 year conservatorship and did the x factor, A tour, 2 las vagas residences...

A conservatorship is for someone so unwell they cannot feed, dress or look after themselves and isn't supposed to last 13 years, but until they are able to look after themselves. Other male celebrities use drugs, sleep around, drink alcohol, are violent, have mental health problems and are not under a conservatorship (like Amanda Bynes).

In her book she reveals, her father called her fat and controlled what she ate, she couldn't have a cell phone, had to be watched and monitored at all times, not allowed to drive..forced to have a iud

You keep banging on about one point and not listening to any other point of view. She is mentally unwell. Not all mentally unwell people are put under a conservatorahip but many wealthy individuals are even if it's just to protect their assets from themselves. Was her dad the right person, probably not but she isn't fit to take care of herself let alone all her estate. If he was managing her assets then would it not be expected for him to take a wage from her estate? I have little doubt he took advantage though.

Also the book is 'her' truth, that's not the same as 'the' truth.

I'm not going to listen to another point of view, if I completely disagree with that point of view, am I.

You're entitled to your point of view. And I'm entitled to my point of view, which I'm sticking to.

Exactly.

What is it about her social media posts that suggest she is so mentally unwell? Genuine question as I don’t have an Instagram account but all I hear about is references to her spinning around which just makes her sound like an attention seeker and that doesn’t seem surprising.

I've read it & my heart breaks for her. Clearly she's been abused & taken advantage of her whole life.

She's not very well now, but I don't think she has become any worse since the conservatorship ended.

It's hard for me to tell if she is mentally unwell or if she is acting the way she is from drug usage. She looks like she is on some very heavy prescription drugs which gives her a constant glazed look.

I have seen people take psychiatric drugs before and she has that look. Glazed , a bit numbed.

She puts up videos that are definitely odd.

They are not of her dancing. There are some where she just whirls around spinning round and round, over and over.

I just looked at her Instagram..her eyes are a bit scary.

The last insta post she put up was a cake saying "see you in hell"

She's clearly a fruit loop at the moment and looks like she needs help
Too many people making money out of her though , she's just a product and has been since a very young age

It all helps sell that there book though !
