I truly don’t get this take. We can name countless celebs who’ve gotten DUIs. Also many celebrities who have flat out shot other people and are not in a conservatorship.

Kevin Federline a new drug addictand her father who literally drank himself to the point where he has had his leg amputated were both making money off of her conservativeship saying that she was too mentally ill to make decisions for herself but not mentally ill enough to stop performing and working? It made no sense.

Not one of those people cared about Britainy’s well-being. They just wanted the money train to keep rolling.

Sorry, I should say Kevin Federline is a known drug addict.

Not true whatsoever. One of my BFF has kids with his at school for years, he's definitely not a drug addict and reportedly a pretty good father. You can be a mega Britney superfan and hate KFed (for whatever parasocial reason you want) but you're just lying. Seriously.

Maybe in the last decade he cleaned up but when the kids were young, it is known that he was a huge pot smoker arguing that is just weird. It’s just a fact.

What he did with that conservatorship was so completely unethical. Defend him all you want, he’s a total loser and his book was a flop.

He also was not involved with the kids that he had prior to Britney because there was no money there.

You are way too invested in someone you don’t know. I find it very hard to believe that given he has like 6 kids (I think) and 2 other baby mommas who both say he’s a good dad that he is such a bad, drug addicted father, according to you. There has been NOTHING that has ever come out about him being a bad parent or a drug addict. And that story and those photos would definitely sell. Nothing. Zero.

I wouldn’t want my sister to date him, but there has been nothing to indicate he has done anything you insinuate. Nothing. Is he cheesy, sure. Is he cringy? Yes. Did he get child support, yes. He doesn’t have to be likable on your type to be a decent person and good parent.

Some people like you are so insanely defensive of Britney and it’s unhealthy for everyone involved. Look where she is now. You probably claim she’s a mess because KFed wrote a book. It’s never her fault. You are part of the problem.

Agree with this. I don't know if conservatorship is the right vehicle here. What she needed was some family members or a partner who were looking out for her best interests instead of using her to enrich themselves. I think the stability was not because of the conservatorship but the live-in boyfriend.

But she actually married that guy after the conservator ship was dissolved and things quickly went south. She needed someone making sure she received appropriate treatment for her mental illness to stay somewhat stable and he clearly wasn’t the one doing that.

She requires far more supervision and monitoring than being married. She is truly mentally ill and fortunate she isn't homeless.

+1Her mental illness is far more significant than most men can handle, monitor, or remediate in a marriage.

The vast majority of people with mental illness, including very serious mental illness, are not in conservatorships. Even rarer is a conservatorship in which the conservatee has significant income and assets and where the conservator requires the coservatee to generate millions in revenue.

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.

A lot of entertainment parents pimp out their kids to make money. One the spotlight dims, it is hard on the kids. Brittany was a very successful young star. Her family + hangers on fed off her fame. She seems to have no one looking out for her best interests.

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

Has her BAC been released?

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.

you have zero way of knowing, based simply on insta posts, whether she meets the definition or not.

I am extremely confident that unable to have house herself or provide food or shelter would be evident from tabloids and/or social media.

I don't think Lohan was mentally ill (which is the real hurdle here). She just making bad choice and in the spot light too much. She moved to Dubai and completely disconnected from her celebrity for years.

In the UAE, Lohan discovered something she had never experienced as a global celebrity: anonymity in public spaces. Strict privacy norms and limited paparazzi presence allowed her to live largely unobserved — a freedom she describes as transformative.

“That’s a big breath of fresh air,” she has said of life in Dubai, “having to not overthink everything you do every second.”

https://www.voguearabia.com/article/why-lindsay-lohan-chose-dubai

This. Lohan isn’t mentally ill; she just had terrible parents and once she grew up and finally got away from them and the US she made better relationship and life choices.

So, randomly, I had some friends in common with Lindsay back in the 00s, during the height of her partying. I was not a partier, but she hung out with people I went to high school with who I would sometimes hang out with when I was in LA. I wound up at many of the same parties and even wound up attending her birthday celebrations a couple times.

It is great to see how much she's matured and found peace. I'm not sure what I expected to become of her back then -- I remember thinking she was representative of what happens with a lot of child stars. Arrested development, narcissism, and substance abuse issues that are likely linked to an effort to escape and a desire to avoid being alone with one's thoughts. I also knew other LA kids with these same issues, but without the fame. It's hard.

But I think your distinction about mental illness is wrong, and I also tend to think Lindsay would agree. The truth is that childhood trauma causes a to of mental illness, including depression, anxiety, substance abuse, etc. There are even people who now theorize that a lot of bipolar disorder is actually C-PTSD, and can be treated with trauma-informed therapy. Not to lay everyone's problems at the feet of their parents, since everyone has agency, but there are huge statistical links between childhood trauma and mental illness. And there may in fact be a genetic component because those "terrible parents" may be terrible because they are struggling with the same genetic predispositions as their children.

I don't think it's as easy as saying that Lindsay didn't have mental illness but Britney does. Their situations are different. One major difference is that Britney was heavily sexualized and exploited by the people she worked with early in her career, including her parents. Compare the music videos Britney was doing in her teens to Lindsay's movies -- Parent Trap, Mean Girls, etc. Lindsay got to work with responsible professionals and play age appropriate characters. Britney didn't. Lindsay still had to deal with all the BS that comes with early fame and especially with being a young woman in the public eye, and it absolutely drove her kind of crazy for a time. But Britney's trauma was a lot deeper and her entire career was based on her exploitation. It's a much tougher situation to recover from.

She’s rumored to have spent most of her fortune and now is taking meth. It may just be a matter of time.

Just because she has a roof over her head and food to eat doesn’t mean she doesn’t need a conservatorship. Stop enabling. Get real.

Lots of famous men have DUIs. Some of them (George W. Bush) became President. They don't get put under a conservatorship.

It does if she’s able to provide it for herself.
