Britney Spears #2

[Sideboard Bob]

New post up on Instagram

Wow. Does anyone think that’s really her words? She says there that, “Believe it or not pretending that I’m ok has actually helped”, but just yesterday she said this -

And that’s why I’m telling you this again two years later, after I’ve lied and told the whole world “I’m OK and I’m happy.” It’s a lie. I thought I just maybe if I said that enough maybe I might become happy, because I’ve been in denial. I’ve been in shock. I am traumatized. You know, fake it till you make it. But now I’m telling you the truth, OK? I’m not happy. I can’t sleep. I’m so angry it’s insane. And I’m depressed. I cry every day

It's actually like some kind of horror story, that something this oppressive and violating of a woman's human rights and bodily autonomy is playing out in front of our eyes for the last 13 years. How can there not be any decisive progression, after Britney's devastating speech and the worrying things that she said, and with this level of media scrutiny? Who's accountable for her safety and welfare now that she spoke out honestly? The same psychopaths who she spoke out against, who make bank off this situation she's in? This conservatorship has burned through most of Britney's net worth since it started, with her footing the cost of trials and lawyers and paying the livelihood of all involved parties. She's got 60m left, how long will it take them to vulture through that too?

I think I’m repeating what another poster has said but sometimes I think maybe she really is ill.

Even if she is, that doesn't mean she should be in a conservatorship and institutionalised in her own home.

Have you read my posts? I’ve repeatedly explained I am not basing it on social media but a lack of judgement in the past. I didn’t say she should have restrictions kept on her at any point. I said it’s worrying what could happen if she doesn’t have a clear and good judgement, which again you don’t know she does.

Yes I've read every single one, hence my replies. You only added the part about her past behaviour *after* I've quoted you, so I could not be psychic and reply to something that wasn't there at the time. Although as you'll see, I referenced her past anyway and I stand by the fact it is simply wicked to say she isn't fit to have children based on behaviour over a decade ago. Which is a restriction you indeed mentioned, with no mention of 'could'. Obviously there will be circumstances where people don't change, but I prefer the viewpoint that she should be given a chance to make her own decisions with support *if* she needs it. Not people who don't even know the poor girl claiming her unfit without any recent evidence. Everyone deserves a chance.

Just playing catch up now...so a lots happened yet again . Jodi is for once actually doing her job and asking the judge for Britney to be able to choose her own attorney. She staying on but asking for security at Britneys expense . Lynn Spears also filed asking for Britney to choose her attorney. Judge Brenda penny wants Britney at court next week . Wow I must admit I do some nights wonder what will happen while we’re sleeping here in the UK. I do think Britney wants Jodi to stay for fear her father taking full control of the ‘person’ again.

I am 100000% here for her mother’s lawyer

I agree, and being basically denied of all of my basic human rights/freedoms I cannot imagine my mental health would be doing well regardless of how it had been before, totally different situation but look how much so many people's mental health (myself included) has been affected during lockdown with the lack of socialising and being basically stuck at home or working in stressful situations

Exactly this! So many of us have mental health problems, like you say from lockdown's etc, but also just pre-existing anyway, life's bloody hard! I honestly don't think I would be 10% as functioning as Britney if I had been through what she has. She has the strength of 1000 bulls and I hope one day she can use it to give all the people responsible for putting her here, exactly what they deserve. Although it will never give her back what they have taken from her which is the worst part of it all. Mental health issues does not mean someone shouldn't get married or have a baby, just that they might need more support, support being the operative word here, a team who have her back, not what she has now.

I hope she refuses to work again, she shouldn't be pulling in any more money for her awful father

I thought Jamie Lynn came across as insincere and didn't seem upset at all. The fake tears had me laughing. Didn't believe a word of it.

 

[jackolantern]

Neither do you know that she is capable to be honest, nothing is proven on here.

I didn't say she was though, that's the difference. Attitudes like the one you stated are so damaging to Britney, continuing the narrative that she lacks capacity and needs to stay sheltered. Even *if* she has mental health issues, it categorically does not mean she should be denied choices in her own life. Even if other people don't think they are the correct ones.

 

[Sideboard Bob]

I honestly can not believe she came on and said all of that I was not expecting it at all.

Same here. It’s heartbreaking that she thought people would laugh at her. So many people that mocked her around 2007/8 have come around and realised how cruel and wrong they were. Not that it was ever ok then but things are different now. She might not even realise that, who knows how much acess to media she’s been allowed.
She’s SO brave to just get it all out, I can’t believe it.

I heard the audio from the hearing yesterday for the first time

I’m shocked. Everything us fans were speculating about all these years, actually turned out to be true.
She was literally abused , it’s crazy how law allows this. And it’s even more disgusting how they do nothing to end this. They’re so corrupted

 

[MrsLucas]

Truly my heart breaks I hope to god she truly knows how much millions of people all over the world love her.

I feel so bad for Britney now that I've heard her testimony! Lots of people in this world have mental health issues, but they are not controlled like this. Forced to be on lithium, forced to keep an IUD fitted, not allowed to have more children if she wants, forced to work against her will...how the hell is this being allowed in the 21 Century? She doesn't seem to have human rights. What happens now?

JAMIE IS STEPPING DOWN! (And yeeeeesss to Rosengart’s comment)

Jamie Spears Agrees to Step Down as Britney's Conservator

Omg. This is huge! I wonder what happened, there’s no way he just stepped down out of the goodness of his heart.

Yes but there’s been no evidence to his illness because the reason for the Vegas cancellation was obviously not due to his health problems. Maybe be really did health problems at that time, we just don’t know. I did read a blind item yesterday that mentioned something about one of Britney’s family members in ill health and yes the most recent photos of Jamie don’t make him look the picture of health but call me extreme but that could honestly be all part and parcel of him getting away with everything. Time will tell. I do not wish bad health on anybody btw but just my thoughts. Here’s the blind... https://blindgossip.com/cancel-the-sister/#more-102634

That blind item has to have come straight from the family, it’s so blatant! Anonymous source quotes saying - “The parents are distraught“, “the sister is freaking out”, and from the actual article ”Not content with lashing out at the singer’s parents or attorneys or doctors, the mob is now trying to get the singer’s sister fired from her job!” I’m sorry but it’s almost hilarious that these people are trying to paint themselves as the victims in this situation.

The news are skipping the main bit of what her dad said ....

“I will step down when the time is right”

Which for him could mean 5 years time or more.
More lies

 

[Danni_louu]

there saying they made her strip naked infront of people she didnt no, how disgusting

 

[Sideboard Bob]

The @FreeBritneyLive Twitter account tweeted that all Jamie said was that he loves and misses his daughter, but the tweet has since been deleted.

One of the other Twitter accounts that was live-tweeting the case has gone private. I’d imagine the c-ship team are panicking. I’m so relieved the world got to hear Britney speak for herself.

 

[MrsLucas]

Wow it’s all starting to go off....
