Do you think everyone who poses nude is mentally ill?

We’re talking about Britney Spears, not everyone.

Show us another healthy 40 year old with teenaged sons who alternates between posts of twirling around or posing nude with a vacant or dazed expression. #SaveBritney will be the social media campaign by mid-2022.

I actually do think sharing nude pictures for the world to see is a symptom of a mental disorder

Sometimes it is straight up narcissism. Other times it is attention seeking that is a cry for help.

But it is not really a healthy behavior

Me either.

Because she's reclaiming her body that others have profited from and exploited since childhood.

By displaying it to everyone else?

NP. By her own choice. She can do it.

The reality is that she is an adult abuse survivor whose body was exploited by the people who should have protected her. She is finally able to make her own choices. Do I think it is great for her to pose nude? No. But I would literally support her if she walked nude down Central Park, because it is how she is reclaiming a terrible history.

She's really not reclaiming anything, not even symbolically. Her pictures look like they were impulsive decisions, that most healthy adults wouldn't do. A natural impulse is to cover your body, not to walk around naked. I know a lot of celebrities show their bodies, but there is always a calculated thought process behind it and at least a little bit of coverage.

If this was a man striping completely naked we would call him a maniac. She is manic as well and it's heartbreaking. This "personal choice" is nothing but a downward spiral, with either a hospital or an early grave to follow.

This. The conservatorship didn’t happen in a vacuum. While there are corrupt judges, doctors, family members and random people in between - to have a group come together and frame Britney is ludicrous. There was a reason behind the conservatorship and it was mental illness. She is not well. She is not mature. She cannot handle life on her own.
Much like Meghan Markel, you cannot scream that the paparazzi are awful and then perform incredibly attention seeking behaviors. Maybe shaving your head at 20 something can be blamed on being in the spotlight but running around naked and half drugged looking at 40 while largely out of the spotlight, cannot.

But I don’t understand why she cant just have a mental illness? Why does she need a conservatorship for decades? How many other famous people have mental illness but are still allowed to live? How many other regular people have mental illness without a conservatorship? She’s acting wacko but is she more wacko than, say, Madonna? Also, I think most actors and actresses have some sort of mental illness and/or low self esteem going on. She’s not hurting anyone. Let her twirl away and spend all her money. What’s the big deal?

Exactly. 40% of Americans will have a mental illness at some point in their lifetime. This is about power and control over a talented woman, and nothing more.

She looks great! I mean, her body looks awesome. She needs a good shower and some scrubbing and then will look a little less damaged.

I’m curious about this as well. If she wants to run around naked, so be it. And I would hope that Kevin has bagged enough money from her for the boys. He’s been getting $20-30k a month on child support for like 10 years.

I just looked at her Instagram page and feel bad for her, especially the close-up photos of her face. You can see in her eyes something is not right. I feel for Sam Asghari, I hope he can find her the help she needs.

This woman is not well. It's becoming very clear why she was not allowed to run her life.

I work with people's mental illness every day and wish more happens or rare ships. It would help them be homelessness and drug addiction.

I am sure Britney has mental issues but her family is the worst and surely make things worse. I can’t imagine any sister who cares about her sister would write a book and do rounds of interviews about Britney. Literally, no one would read a book by Jamie Lynn if she weren’t Britney’s sister. Maybe she was getting paid when her dad wasconservator and now Britney doesn’t want to do the same?

I’m sure there is some truth to all sides, but I would be heartbroken and it likely would cause some issues if I couldn’t trust my family at all.

Most individuals with mental health issues also have trust issues and paranoia. I've seen family members try so hard to do right by their family members with mental illness only to be blamed and made into the villain due to the illness. The rate of relapse and cycles of mania, depression and paranoia impact so many individuals with mental health issues.

I think Britney is exactly where Sam Asghari wants her. He’s able to exert control, encourage her to get married and have a baby so he can join the K Fed gravy train. Britney is not well. Mentally healthy mothers of teenagers do not randomly post nude pictures of themselves for the world to see. This picture isn’t even flattering. Her tummy tuck scar is very visible, her wig or extensions are stringy and she seems to be out of shape compared to her usual.
