+1 I can't imagine dealing with her on a daily basis, and feel so bad for her boys. |
No. If her dad wanted the conservatorship purely for her well-being he would have stepped down in favor of someone else being in charge of it when their relationship first got rocky again. He also wouldn’t have had her working like a dog. Look at Amanda Bynes parents. While she was in her conservatorship she was resting and working on her mental health not working nonstop but of course her dad is a dentist who can support himself without need to mooch off his daughter. |
PP here. I get that Britney Jean's parents are from a lower SES background from Louisiana. I'm not saying her dad was perfect. I do think he tried to protect her while allowing her to use her dancing talents to make money (clearly from her Instagram posts, she likes to move and dance). Her behaviors prior to the conservatorship were way beyond disturbing. |
Bite your tongue. No child should be responsible for saving or taking care of their seriously mentally ill mother who despite having a fortune of resources refuses to get herself the professional help that she needs. Anyway the more likely scenario is that at some point in the near future the boys become her exploiters. She’s a cash cow who has done little to foster a close and loving relationship with her sons that would compel them to highest principles, after all. |
A parent takes care of his child, even when they're fighting. You're not thinking this through. Also, she wasn't working like a dog, she was working and keeping busy so that she would stay focused and not go off the rails. That's sensible, not exploitative. |
| He clearly wasn’t looking out for her. What a creep. |
This is so sad. Can you imagine what her boys are thinking when they watch this? |

This I suspect is true. And, in some ways, it’d maybe be better if she wasn’t as talented as she is? If she’d stayed in Louisiana and become say, a hairdresser, she’d have had less pressures, possibly found a husband who would’ve loved her for her rather than her money, and would’ve been able to work out her mental health issues in private rather than the world watching. |
That’s not what she said. She was forced into contracts and to perform. Leah ally she couldn’t sign a contact. That’s why she walked out of the opening for the Vegas tour, which started the crumble of her conservatorship. |
Britney’s fortune was dwindled down to the single digit millions at the time her dad was made her conservator. Despite all the money he supposedly swindled from her in managing her conservatorship, he left her with $60 million plus in assets. And anyone objecting to her working just doesn’t understand the nature of her mental illness. During the conservatorship Britney’s life was very structured, she was kept on a regimen of meds and therapy and she spent a lot of time working because as research has now made abundantly clear, there is little else that is better for the mentally ill mind than physical movement/exercise to regulate mood and sleep and ease anxiety, paranoia and depression. And guess what? All those years in the conservatorship and Britney was the healthiest she’s been in her adult life. She is now going off the rails while barely working. She has nothing to focus and distract her from the mess inside her mind because she’s her own boss and she QUIT! And then got married and then screwed the housekeeper so won’t be married much longer but gosh darn she is FREEEEEEEEE!!!!!! I would, if given the opportunity, say a personal thanks to Jamie Spears for insisting Britney wear an IUD those 13 years he had the power to request it. I say those thanks on behalf the child(ren) who were spared the pain of growing up with such a seriously mentally ill mother. |
| I'm kind of surprised, because I assumed it wasn't a love match and Sam was in it for the money/clout. They never even seemed to be together. Things must be horrendous if he wants out so soon. Or maybe he wants to marry someone else? |
He did nothing. What are you talking about? They've barely been in the same room together since they married. |
+1 yes to all you said. very sad but true. |
