Britney Spears going broke

So many of her friends and boyfriends stole her money and she blew money on hotels, vacations, shopping, partying, drugs.

She had a cancelled tour from a broken leg in 2004 during the KFed days that cost millions as well. Her records weren’t selling as much as they used to during the late 90s/early 00s. Without record sales, artists can only make real money by going on tour.

That’s what she did. It’s better than keeping her locked in a gilded cage and feeling isolated at home. She was able to interact with people, exercise, be sober, and tire herself on stage and sleep at a reasonable hour. It’s better than what she’s doing now


You talk about her as if she were a dog.

Sure, it would be nice, if once medicated, her team spoke to her, like a human being, and created a plan for a tour that she wanted to do (given that she once loved to perform, she may not have been opposed to this), on terms that didn't physically exhaust her, with lots of breaks for her and lots of input from her. That's not what seems to have occurred.



That’s exactly what they did. Britney wasn’t touring every day. Britney overexaggerates. She was off more of the time than she was working. She wanted to do Vegas instead of touring to be close to the boys so they accommodated for that. She didn’t want to do the old songs her fans liked and wanted to tour with more recent material so that’s what was done. She doesn’t want to sing live so her mic is turned off. They do everything the way she wants it so she doesn’t have a breakdown .

Britney is a master manipulator so now she fools her fans into thinking she was forced to perform every single night and stay for countless hours in the recording studio daily when that is not true. They bended over backwards for her And exceeded the duties of conservators. She wanted boyfriends so they made sure she had men they vetted for drugs , alcohol, and criminal history .

Why? Well, look at how she’s dating now . She went straight back to ex cons and no doubt is getting drugs and doing them again .


Her kids ,who never speak to the media , have spoken out publicly about their concern for their mom hoping maybe that might scare her . She doesn’t care.

Unfortunately, she was in prison for 13 years but it didn’t reform her. It’s made her a better criminal. Punishment either reforms or makes you worse than before.

Good job, Free Britney! Yay!


She may have addiction issues and a mental illness but so do millions of Americans...they don't get put under conservatorships. She is lucky to have full-time security guards and a ton of money that will take her another decade to spend down even if she spends like a maniac.


She needs a conservatorship or longterm hospitalization.


Kanye west also reportedly has uncontrolled mental illness, behaves very erratically and spends like crazy. Why does the conversation around Britney go immediately to conservatorship? I’ve never heard mention of a conservatorship with respect to Kanye.

A lot of you seem unable to use common sense.

1. Kanye literally has no one to look after him. The single mom who raised him is dead, his old friends like Jay-Z have distanced themselves, and the Kardashian Koven has thrown him away now that they’re done using him. There’s no one to seek a conservatorship because no one cares for him.

2. Conservatorships are for people who need protection. Kanye is the serial victimizer in his situation, as most mentally ill men are. It stands to reason that Kanye is perceived as not needing a conservatorship because HE is the threat to others. Others aren’t a threat to him and there’s no evidence he’s a threat to himself, completely out of touch with reality (sorry, disliking his views doesn’t mean he no longer comprehends reality) or too strung out on drugs to function.

Similar to how MIA is mentally unstable and lost custody of her son, but no one talks conservatorship with her because there’s no evidence she’s being taken advantage of, as opposed to being aggressive and paranoid towards others. Like Kanye, there’s also no evidence that MIA is a danger to herself or too strung out on drugs to function.

This is deeply sad but entirely foreseeable. I wish I could call out all the posters who attacked me in the long threads on Britney’s conservatorship when I spoke from my years of experience in court and argued that most of what Jamie was doing was sincerely for the best interests of his daughter.

Does anyone really think her lawyer who has milked her for $4 million so she could pay $2 million more to Jamie’s lawyers has her best interests at heart?

Britney’s fall is going to be epic.

Does anyone really think she would be worse off right now if she was rehearsing regularly for a residency in Vegas while taking meds daily and seeing therapists weekly?

The only conditions of her conservatorship that anyone could seriously challenge as untoward was the requirement to use effective birth control. Yet I don’t think anyone could responsibly argue that she should have had more children in this lifetime.

Good thing her sons are nearly grown, sounds like she’ll be too poor for child support soon enough.


Her father was taking advantage of the conservatorship. If she wants to waste her money and do drugs all day then let her.


How did he take advantage? He was paid 100k a year to be the conservator which is an actual job.

Jamie hates California. He’s always in Louisiana


I thought he also got a cut of every tour deal. Huge conflict of interest.


Jamie Lynn was using the money as well. Super inappropriate. I rather she blow the money then have her family steal from her


I don’t think it’s the money. The entire family lives in Louisiana still. They don’t care about the money as much as they care about their daughter. They don’t want her to die or go to jail.

Anyone who has ever dealt with a severely mentally ill friend or family member during a manic phase understands the fear of waking up to a phone call that your loved one died, killed someone, killed themselves, was arrested, or is comatose from a bad drug overdose. All of these things are likely to happen to Britney. Britney’s family did s great thing stepping in. Whitney Houston’s family tried to pray for her to stop and conquer her battles and were too scared to tell her she shouldn’t have custody of Bobbi Kristina and look what happened . Both mother and daughter died from drugs .

Sometimes family needs to be a bad guy to get someone that’s out of control and manic like Britney in line . Jamie didn’t mind playing that role as he was always villainized by Britney anyway


If Britney’s family really cared for her, why did they encourage and force her to keep performing rather than actually rest and heal? Why did they take her money to fund their stupid ideas (Jamie’s tour bus food truck anyone?) and pay off their exes? Take as a counter example Amanda Bynes’ conservatorship where her mom pulled her out of the public eye entirely and when she experimented with living independently and had problems as a result she had enough trust in the medical profession to call and get help again. Britney might have benefited from a conservatorship in the abstract but she definitely didn’t benefit from the one she got.


+1

It's possible to believe all these things, and I do:
-The conservatorship was needed at the time.
-Britney's rights were not protected when the conservatorship was established. She didn't receive the proper notice before it was implemented and she didn't have the right to obtain her own counsel. Even criminals receive these basic elements of due process.
-Some things about the conservatorship were good, like making her take her medication.
-Her father also wildly abused the conservatorship powers and abused Britney herself.
-The conservatorship, as it existed, needed to end.
-She's currently acting in a very trashy, trainwrecky way that is sad to see.
-But doesn't currently meet the legal standard for a conservatorship. Her trashy behavior is not that different from many other celebrities.

It all could have been different if the conservator had actually put the conservatee first and focused everything on her mental and physical help and helping her become independent and live a good life.


I can't think of another celebrity who repeatedly posts videos with haunting, sad, teary eyes while
performing sexual moves and dances practically naked. It's beyond sad and disturbing. It's like watching people pace in a psychiatric ward

The thing is, if someone is controlled down to their meals for years, they might blow a gasket. She obviously has some issues but some of what she did sounds like a normal human response to being controlled, abused, and micromanaged as an adult for more than a decade. But, since she’s a woman, people are quick to write her off as the problem and assume the best of her dad, despite the fact that there’s way more evidence that he was abusive and controlling than there is that she’s on any drugs at all.

“Woman crazy, man hero” story has played out dozens of times and Taylor Swift has written more than a few songs about it.

I’m sure she needed help. But not from her dad - or any of the men in her life, apparently.

I dislike the Kardashians but feel compelled to disagree with the bolded statement. I do believe that Kim worked very hard to support Kanye - even going so far as to publicly lie about his conversation with Taylor Swift (I'm no Swiftie either) and release an edited recording.

I understand what it's like to have a spouse with mental illness. When a spouse continues to refuse to treat their illness, there comes a time when you have to make decision about what's best for you and your kids. Clearly, Kim got to that point. She and her kids were better off if they divorced.

Kris Humphries, on the other hand, was totally used and tossed away....

Why is it important that there is a trust for the kids? They are almost adults and are not entitled to any of her money.

An entire cottage industry has developed of people sponging off Britney. Why would her immediate family be any different?

I don’t see how Kanye is comparable to Britney. Kanye is not a drug user or a partier like Britney and he isn’t getting scammed by his dating partners or allowing criminals in his inner circle. Kanyes from Chicago even though contrary to his music , he grew up the child of two college professors and spoiled, he still knows scam artists when he sees one.

Kim would make sure he didn’t have any custody or visitation if he did anything to harm the kids. If he’s done as much car accidents and driving without a license as Britney has done over the years , he’d be in jail probably

They want Britney to be alive.

They don’t care about the money. She’s in deep danger.

The money will go to them if she dies anyway so if they care about the money like everyone claims, they would want her to spiral. It would serve their purposes.

You’re right. It’s best she leave her money to scamming ex MS 13 members and blowing it all on meth instead

Plus, Kanyes kids want to be with him. Kim has said North likes Kanye over her.

Britney’s sons want nothing to do with her. They’re scared of her. She is not well.

Anyone that’s ever seen the clips of her dancing around on her IG can see she is not well. Even her pets seem anxious and nervous around her

Her mom tried to help her at the peak of her 2007 Meltdown and she kicked her out of her home and told her to get lost and never to see her again. She has lots of anger issues at everyone: her family, her management, the industry . I think the only person not scared of Britney in that family is Jamie.

This is going to have devastating effects as she will subconsciously pick out abusive /domineering men that resemble her father as her partners .

She really was my pop idol back in the day. Sadly I think she’s headed for an early demise. She’s so troubled and mentally ill and her family no long has any role in her life. Maybe the conservatorship seemed an abusive to us outsiders but clearly she could not function on her own.

Yeah it was never in doubt she has mental illness. The question was, is a conservatorship justified or is it a violation of her rights to have no control over herself simply because she has mental illness. The conservatorship was lifted because her dad stopped fighting it and for better or worse, she has the legal right to destroy her life and lose all her money. That’s probably what’s going to happen.

None of us will truly know the truth of what’s happening to her or why her family put her under a conservatorship but she is not well and has not been since about 2007. Being out of her conservatorship won’t magically make her mental illness go away. But, she does have the right to spend all her money and ruin her life , just like all the rest of us do.
