What is actually going on with Britney?

Abuse can stop you from maturing. It can cause you to think you're going crazy and act crazy (like her very public breakdown). It can mess you up in so many ways. Sure, she may also have mental health issues but you can't diagnose over the internet. And it's very possible that she doesn't....it's just the abuse.

Also, most celebrities have a PR team that curates their social media. So comparing her posts to there posts isn't a true comparison.

I wish people would leave her alone, let her grow and become the person she was meant to be.

The PTSD caused by the abuse.

I think that it is sometimes really hard to balance a person's autonomy to make bad/dumb decisions with what degree of external control is appropriate for a grown woman. Britney became famous when she was a teenager and her adult life had all the same restrictions she had as a teenager. There was nowhere within that where she could mature and develop.

Maybe he loves her but he also doesn't seem to be the brightest. A highly intelligent and moral partner would have been amazing for her.

But that person wouldn't be a partner, they would be a caretaker. A highly intelligent person cannot have a partnership with someone like her. Also to the people saying "leave her alone". No one here is bothering her. This is the digital version of sitting on the porch talking.

Posting your opinion about her on the internet is NOT the same as talking to someone on your porch. You're reaching a lot more people by posting. Come on now....

One could argue that gossiping about people on your front porch isn't great behavior either....

Ok, so I just looked at her Instagram page and didn’t see anything that indicates that she is mentally ill.
What is everyone going on about?

Are you new to this site or to the internet in general?

I think people are just deeply offended that she's not creating a "brand" or whatever like normal pop stars, and how she wants to act on social media isn't how they act either. I know plenty of people with cringier instas in my real life, we just have 12 followers so no one cares.

It’s sad but I don’t think it is that hard to balance - someone who is not an immediate threat to themselves or others should not be forced to take medications that they don’t want. Just like you’re allowed to not treat your diabetes or cancer….others can think it’s an awful choice and is the wrong answer but no one would force treatment on them

Those diagnosing her mental illnesses should also understand that she was treated by doctors against her will--given drugs and even an IUD without her consent. Her family, friends, lawyers, and doctors all failed her for years.

I think it's amazing that she's still finding joy in dancing.

Besides te abuse, I think it may also have to do with all the heavy duty drugs they kept her on for years. I can't believe that they haven't done some major damage to her brain.

Doing crazy things because of abuse *IS* mental illness. It's not one or the other. She isn't acting like a stable adult and the public can easily see that. We can't diagnose the specific issue or cause from our couches, but it's possible to conclude that something is off. She's not mentally healthy.

This was always evident. Anyone who supported free britney expecting her to be a totally normal person afterwards was being unrealistic.

But her being mentally ill doesn't mean that getting her out of that situation was wrong. She is mentally ill, she made a mint of money in her teens, and her family took advantage of her to profit off of her work, all of those things can be true at the same time. I think people are having some kind of collective guilt concern like, if something bad now happens to her, then freeing her was not the 'right' choice and we will bear the weight of whatever that is. That her family WAS 'protecting' her.

But the reality is that the type of arrangement she was under is extraordinarily uncommon for an adult who is capable of being basically functional. They were definitely taking advantage of her and mistreating her. And regardless of what happens next, she should be free to spend her money and live her life the way she wants, even if that is in a way that ends in a dumpster fire. But I would bet it is more likely that she just posts crazy stuff on instagram for the next 20 years.

How do these posts prove she is mentally ill? It’s not unusual for celebrities to post sexy and revealing pics of themselves.
