| Again, her dad is not her conservator!!!! |
She was on X factor 2012 for one season. |
He is. He is conservator of her estate with co- Bessemer trust and he is conservator of her person. |
The conservatorship is to make sure she takes her meds every single day, not to limit or control her career. All these posts about how this shows the problem with conservatorship and how it needs to be limited, to me it shows the benefits of conservatorship and how it should be expanded to cover more people who need it but don't currently get it. |
+1 remember when she was driving with a baby in her lap? |

This is why the courts exist. It’s not up to us to decide based on bits of pieces of information, a lame documentary, and her Instagram dancing. We can speculate—it’s entertaining, I guess—but if you’re interested in helping people with mental illness, running around with #freebritney signs isn’t the way to do it. Go back to school and find some other way to help.
I’m pretty annoyed with all the celebs tweeting their support. Like they know her situation better than a team of qualified mental health professionals and the judge. |
I fear she still does now what she did then, an ongoing version of rationalizing and minimization (when confronted on driving with the baby, in no safety seat, her response then was, "We're country!"). When confronted on almost dropping the baby on the sidewalk when she was carrying him with one arm, and a glass in the other, (not even saying it was alcohol) her response was that she was swamped by paparazzi not that she was holding him in securely. She is defensive so she has trouble taking responsibility. She might be irresponsible due to personality issues not just her impaired brain functioning under illness. |
NP. I watched on TV (from a friend of hers speaking on her behalf several weeks ago) that she was happy to continue with a guardian or conservator or whatever it's called but she just wanted her father completely out of it all. I think that's a reasonable request and I don't know why it isn't being enforced by the courts. |
Agree! And lay people too. The whole thing is a poop circus because she really does appear to need a conservatorship and this whole #FreeBritney BS is just an unfair attack on the conservatorship system. That system has abuse in it, but this doesn’t seem to be it. Remove the parents from the equation, assign her a neutral third party conservator. |
Um this is a pretty poor excuse for “concern.” Those incidents occurred 15 years ago. Do you have any actual evidence to validate your ongoing fears that she’ll repeat this behavior? Regardless, there’s a difference between granting her custody vs. an once of control over her body and life. Let the kids stay with their father, but on what basis should a woman not be allowed to paint her own cabinets? The custody issues are separate. |
DP. She accidentally burned her home gym down in mid 2020. Oops. |
Was she functional during this time? |
I remember being dumbfounded that per the paparazzi pics from the time that she was wearing loose platform sandals, jeans that were way too long, dragging on the ground and she was tripping over them, while carrying an infant, and then she proceeded to drive with him in her lap, an even worse idea. I remember thinking that I wouldn’t want to be home bound but that she could probably get anything she wanted and needed delivered to her. She seemed so hurt and profoundness upset. Having 2 kids in one year did a number on her. Still doesn’t mean that she should be in this particular care conservatorship. |

I don't know how her conservatorship is currently structured, but it could be that whatever involvement her father has is in her best interest, and that he can back that up with supporting documentation.
If someone is paranoid, they will blame whoever is "in charge" at the moment for their problems. My mom said my dad was doing all kinds of crazy things to her--none of them based on reality. When they divorced, that same angst went toward my sister. When she left the house, the angst was directed at me. She needed a scapegoat for her problems. I don't know if this is what's happening here; none of us do. But these people saying "we'll stop protesting when Britney asks us to" may have some mental illness of their own if they really think they are in the best position to make this call. Again, there are mental health experts who understand her condition better than any of us who are offering their expert advice to the courts. These people are also under intense scrutiny, so I don't think they are taking the responsibility lightly. Isn't Amanda Bynes in a similar situation? Are people protesting for her? |
