Brittany is mentally ill. Only weirdos think otherwise. But being mentally ill, even significantly so, does not mean your right to make decisions about employment and medical care should be taken away.

Your rose colored glasses need cleaning. People who think like you are responsible for the mentally ill homeless sleeping wherever they choose and not receiving proper care

Uh no. Brittany makes tons of money and is not homeless. She does make weird and poor choices. That does not meet the standard for being placed in a conservatorship. People who cannot care for themselves and are living on the streets typically do meet the standard for conservatorship. In Virginia, the standard is “gravely disabled” and unable to provide for one’s basic needs like food, clothing, and shelter. Brittany plainly does not meet this standard.

DP- Britney had to sell the rights to her music because she ran out of money. She spent millions on private jets to Mexico over the last few years. It was very reckless spending and those mooching off her have no reason to stop it.

Last time I checked, selling the rights to your music and spending the proceeds for fun doesn’t result in you losing your basic freedoms. Otherwise, like half the NFL retirees would be in conservatorships.

Spending your money on meth isn’t what most would call “fun.”

Zero credible evidence she's on meth. But blowing your money on drugs doesn't justify conservatorship under the law anyway. Once again, consider retired professional athletes. Should a substantial portion of them be in conservatorships for making idiotic financial decisions and having addictions?

Certainly those that have clear CTE damage engaging in bizarre behavior should be, yes.

DP. Plenty of male celebrities who have rumored to use drugs and wasted money that haven’t been forced into conservatorships. Chris Brown, Justin Beiber, Kanye west etc

Why do posters keep arguing that because plenty of x, y and z male celebrities/athletes do this then she can do it? Is there a troll who is just hell bent on arguing that she should never be under a conservatorship bc homeless people exist/ NFL players get DUIs/ Kanye West is bipolar/ Chris Brown (huh?)/male celebrities waste money……

Because it highlights that her public conduct doesn’t meet the standard for conservatorship.

I don’t suppose you’re arguing that all these other celebrities engaged in similar or worse conduct should be placed in conservatorships?

Dp, This poster seems to argue that Britney is better off destroying her health and life, because some others destroyed their health and life. It’s a pretty ridiculous argument.

No, that’s not what I’m arguing at all. I’m arguing that her bad conduct doesn’t meet the standard for taking away most of her basic freedoms. The question isn’t whether she’d be “better off” (I don’t know). It’s whether the government can hand over her freedom to a private person.

People have the right to wreck their own lives and make bad decisions, like driving drunk and refusing medical care. I don’t think engaging in that kind of conduct alone justifies a conservatorship where you’re no longer able to make decisions about whether and to what extent you work, what happens to your money, whether you can have a baby, whether you can enter into contracts, where you can live, etc. The courts in every state happen to agree with me.

No, people DON'T have the right to drive drunk. If they choose to destroy their own lives in the desert, then ok. If their choices endanger the lives of others like Britney driving for an hour drunk and/or on drugs, then absolutely no. Lock them up in a hospital or prison.

You go to prison. You’re not put in a conservatorship.

DUI doesn't typically result in any significant prison time. Nor does it necessarily help get her mental health treatment.

It's too bad there's not some version of mental health parole where you have someone monitoring that you're participating in mental health care while still having some ability to have freedoms. Especially if it's clear that you could be a danger to others, e.g., driving drunk, if you are not receiving appropriate mental health treatment. I agree that a conservatorship seems like it's a bit much, but she's not really just choosing this life either because her mental health isn't in a place where she's capable of making choices.

I agree with you there. We need more support for people with mental illness and more steps in between conservatorship and nothing.

If family or friends could step in to oversee/mandate treatment of the seriously mentally ill, would be a dramatic drop in long term homeless and suicides.

In this case, where a crime has been committed, the court system could step in to mandate and monitor mental health treatment and drug testing. But the system isn't resourced to do this so very little is done and the individual continues to spiral both to their detriment and that of the community.

Even a family and friends can convince a mentally ill person to go to the ER with them to seek treatment, nothing is available unless the person is determined to be dangerous to themselves or others. You can't just walk in and get any sort of help. So then you have to get on waitlists and hope that the person's mental illness and willingness lines up with getting off a waitlist. In the meantime, they're doing lots of things that are harmful to themselves, and potentially to others.

Its gotten way out of control with her. Her latest insta reels are very disturbing.

I guess she’s going on house arrest or real arrest. Either way her parents were right. That money is family money and she doesn’t have the sense she was born with. The money will run out in less than 10 years at this rate

Yes, but I think there is such a disconnect between her wealth enabling her to technically "take care of herself" and the scope of her illness that it's really hard to address and reconcile. Usually someone with her degree of mental illness would not have financial and logistical resources and be homeless in the streets or living in dangerous hoarder conditions.

Well yes, but it also seems that people arguing for “ freedom” don’t have first hand experience with family members or others with serious mental illness. The illness dramatically affects their ability/competence to make decisions about what is or isn’t in their best interest.

I’m not so much arguing for her freedom more than arguing that Kevin Federline and Jamie Spears were not fit to run the conservatorship and showed time and time again that they did not have her best interest at heart.

I also think the way they used her children against her well before the conservativeship was cruel, inhumane, and greatly contributed to her mental health downfall. While it was clear that she should not have unfettered access to her children until she became more stable, the children should not have been used to bribe her to perform and that is what they did.

Jamie Spears was not fit to take care of himself. Google recent images of him, his extreme alcoholism has led to total destruction of his body, luckily he has some money left over that he can afford a full-time caregiver as he’s not able to manage by himself.

Kevin Federalline has mismanaged his finances so much that he was absolutely desperate when the child support payments dried up and had to sell that book which was a failure.

Do you actually know these people or do you just get your info from TMZ and People? I don’t ever remember Kevin trying to be the conservator. You seem very naive re dealing with a family member who is seriously mentally ill and an addict, and that’s probably a good thing since that would mean you don’t have that in your family. Unfortunately I do.

She doesn’t have any right to drive drunk or subject anyone to her mental illness. She is an adult. She makes her own choices. Either she’s too mentally ill because of what everyone has done to her so it’s not her fault OR she has enough agency to be allowed to make choices so she doesn’t need a conservator. What is it?

I wish she was well. I wish her kids had a healthier mother.

I promise you have the right to impose your mental illness on others lol

There is nothing LOL about your statement. WOW.

Oh, I ageee, was just suggesting the law should be changed to allow for this.

Bank of America just sued Federline for unpaid credit card bills. I wonder what his plan is longterm. At least his other kids are grown, but I feel bad for his two daughters.

Heh, TMZ says the card was opened the month after Britney stopped paying child support. So there you go.

How on earth is the money Britney earned while forced to perform and clearly denied appropriate treatment "family money?"

The lol is the absurdity of the prior statement. I’m not a mega fan or into celebrities at all. I am heavily invested in disability rights work, and so have been keeping up from that perspective.

Weird assumptions on your part.

Her mental health issues are serious and she needs help.

If you think people haven't tried this already, you'd be dumb. She wont listen to anyone.

Uh no. Brittany makes tons of money and is not homeless. She does make weird and poor choices. That does not meet the standard for being placed in a conservatorship. People who cannot care for themselves and are living on the streets typically do meet the standard for conservatorship. In Virginia, the standard is “gravely disabled” and unable to provide for one’s basic needs like food, clothing, and shelter. Brittany plainly does not meet this standard.

DP- Britney had to sell the rights to her music because she ran out of money. She spent millions on private jets to Mexico over the last few years. It was very reckless spending and those mooching off her have no reason to stop it.

Last time I checked, selling the rights to your music and spending the proceeds for fun doesn’t result in you losing your basic freedoms. Otherwise, like half the NFL retirees would be in conservatorships.

Spending your money on meth isn’t what most would call “fun.”

Zero credible evidence she's on meth. But blowing your money on drugs doesn't justify conservatorship under the law anyway. Once again, consider retired professional athletes. Should a substantial portion of them be in conservatorships for making idiotic financial decisions and having addictions?

Certainly those that have clear CTE damage engaging in bizarre behavior should be, yes.

DP. Plenty of male celebrities who have rumored to use drugs and wasted money that haven’t been forced into conservatorships. Chris Brown, Justin Beiber, Kanye west etc

Why do posters keep arguing that because plenty of x, y and z male celebrities/athletes do this then she can do it? Is there a troll who is just hell bent on arguing that she should never be under a conservatorship bc homeless people exist/ NFL players get DUIs/ Kanye West is bipolar/ Chris Brown (huh?)/male celebrities waste money……

Because it highlights that her public conduct doesn’t meet the standard for conservatorship.

I don’t suppose you’re arguing that all these other celebrities engaged in similar or worse conduct should be placed in conservatorships?

Dp, This poster seems to argue that Britney is better off destroying her health and life, because some others destroyed their health and life. It’s a pretty ridiculous argument.

I'm not the prior poster, but you are not very bright. You are not discussing the same topic. You are talking about feelings and the pp is addressing the law. There are laws that determine who loses autonomy. lt isn't based on what fans think.
