She would have to drink six to eight cans of Coke to get as much caffeine as two cups of coffee. She must have been absolutely guzzling the Coke lol! I’m surprised she had any time left to perform!


If you suffered from bipolar disorder or had a loved one who did, you would realize that even scant amounts of stimulants can throw the person out of whack.

She’s super tiny like my sister was. I can imagine the effect of any caffeine.

And, yes, Britney loved Mountain Dew and was frequently photographed with it. That was likely her go to when she couldn’t access other pills.

Everyone playing armchair psychiatrist and legal analyst should really just stop. You have no clue.


So you know better than Azalea about what Spears was drinking because you saw paparazzi pics of her years ago with Mountain Dew? Lol good try.


It might have been Coke. It might have been Mountain Dew. It doesn’t really matter. Both have caffeine. Lots of people say coke when they mean soda. Like xerox or Kleenex. Again: doesn’t matter. Bottom line is caffeine is a stimulant, and bipolars should avoid it. Instead, they tend to use it when they need a fix.

You can base your ridiculous opinion on something Iggy said. My opinion is based on nearly 4 decades of struggling to support my bipolar sibling and what I learned from related support groups for others doing the same.

You amateurs are clueless, and your Free Britney nonsense is dangerous.


The reality is that you know exactly as much about Britney Spears as we do. You are projecting your own biases as much as we are.


Fact: we have access to the same info.

Fact: some of us have firsthand experience with loved ones suffering with mental illness.

Fact: some of you seem to believe she is equipped to run her life despite a very public record that points to serious issues.


Fact: We don't have access to her medical records (nor should we). We know she had an extremely erratic and public meltdown more than a decade ago that came on the heels of two pregnancies, a divorce, and a level of scrutiny from the paparazzi and world that you or I could not pretend to understand. And we know she checked into a mental health facility a couple of years ago at her family's demand. We know that she was not given meaningful custody of her children and has been unable to get that for any point in their lives. What else do we REALLY know?

Fact: Your firsthand experience does not mean that Britney Spears suffers from the same mental illness or the same severity as your loved one

Fact: She has so much money, and so many people profiting off of her conservatorship, that there should be, regardless of her medical condition, rigorous and regular review of the terms to ensure no one is taking advantage of her as her bank account makes her uniquely susceptible to bad actors.

Fact: Since the conservatorship was installed she has released three albums, done a four year long Vegas show and two substantial promotional tours. She has made tens of millions of dollars since being told she was unable to make any decisions for herself.

The most recent ruling doesn't really mean much, there is a big hearing on July 14th.

There are so many dubious things that can be justified as "business expenses" aside from the salary that Jamie Spears is drawing - how closely is someone really scrutinizing all of this?

Guys…thx fact that she lost custody of her kids says it all.

The rich celebrity doesn’t lose custody to a no-name, no-job guy. The court knows her medical history and determined she isn’t equipped to parent. Even the crumbiest parents have more access than she does.

And, remember: she doesn’t want her medical history or records made public. She knows that would turn public opinion against her.

It’s very likely she endangered her kids in such a way that no reasonable court would risk giving her more access. It likely wasn’t a temporary Brad Pitt drunken episode; it’s likely far worse.

- leaving rehab early
- shaving her head
- attacked someone’s car with an umbrella
- lost custody of her kids
- showed up at the kids’ house demanding to see them when it wasn’t her day


Lady, this is like half the people I went to high school with and none of them are under conservatorships.

If that doesn't tell you he's not making BIG BUCKS off of her I don't know what would. Sure he gets 16,000.00/month but that's nothing compared to what her mother was trying to get back in the day. He has managed her mental health better than anyone and even her ex stated this in previous instances. She is a sick puppy, saw her live in Vegas with my DD"s and you could see sadly, as talented as she is, and she is talented, she has so many problems. These are not normal problems and she is blessed to have people around her to keep her in check. I believe without this help she would be dead by now. Such an amazing talent but she absolutely needs to be protected from herself. Her father looks to be in ill health, I shudder to think what will happen if her mother gets control of everything should he die. Prayers for you Britney.


Oh look, the Florida trash has found DCUM.

Allegedly she lost her kids from joint custody for driving them without a license, failure to produce a license and failure to show up for a drug test- not that she failed a drug test. Kevin Federline has a lot gain by having custody. He saw Brittney as a meal ticket. How many wives on DCUM leave their DH and restrict custody for more money? I mean, there is a poster who leaves her baby home alone in the crib to drive to get her DC from preschool- I’m sure if she was worth millions someone would be calling the cops.

Don’t forget Jamie has not had contact with Brittney due to a restraining order against him due to an altercation with her son.

I think Brittney may have coping issues, some mental illness, but that’s a lot of people these days. I think she is carefully handled to be restricted, bring in money and be portrayed to the public as a danger.

Britney has 30 percent of custody of her children.

In March 2020, Jayden shared private details about the family on an Instagram Live - revealing that Britney apparently might quit music while lashing out at his granddad Jamie.

Why did Britney Spears lose custody of her kids?

The star previously lost custody of the two boys in 2007 after a breakdown which saw the distressed star shave her own head before attacking a photographer's car with an umbrella.

A judge granted full custody to Federline, much to Britney's distress.

In 2008, Britney was then arrested after locking herself in a bathroom with Jayden, who was one-year-old at the time.

The drama ended with Britney being stretchered away from her home in an ambulance after a four-hour standoff.

Exactly. How do you have any of this information? From watching her in concert and reading People?

Britney isn’t your bipolar sibling, PP. You don’t know her, and you have no expertise regarding what sort of care she needs.


Do you know her? You must since you are insisting she doesn't need a conservatorship.

I fully recognize that.

But based on what is publicly known, Britney seems far worse than my sister. Based on what the public knows, the conservatorship has protected her from herself. Without it, she likely would be broke or dead.


Lots of bipolar go nuts and broke all the time. It’s tragic. But how on earth is that a reason to take away all of the rights she has had removed?

And honestly how often does mania kill people? Yes people who are super manic do dumb stuff but so do lots of other people!

It’s horrible the way people with mental illness are treated. Sickening.


So you'd rather them be out on the streets harming themselves and others. Making children they will neglect tand abuse

Many of her fans are dealing with their own likely untreated illness you can see it in their inability to apply clear reason and logic to the situation.

Article about the conservatorship of Britney by Ronan Farrow and Jia Tolentino. So incredibly disturbing and sad.
