Britney Spears DUI last night

If she had any sort of real support network maybe she could move out of the spotlight and get sober and on a good medication regime. But when everyone around you just wants to exploit your celebrity, that seems basically impossible. It’s really sad her parents weren’t there for her — maybe that wouldn’t have been enough (see Nick Reiner whose parents were great) but at least she would have had a shot.

This is so sad to read but I think you're right, PP.

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.

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

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.

DP- Britney had to sell the rights to her music because she ran out of money. She spent millions on private jets to Mexico over the last few years. It was very reckless spending and those mooching off her have no reason to stop it.

Last time I checked, selling the rights to your music and spending the proceeds for fun doesn’t result in you losing your basic freedoms. Otherwise, like half the NFL retirees would be in conservatorships.

No one said that. You said BS has a ton of money. She won't soon.

I never said that? I said she’s meeting her own basic needs of food, clothing, and shelter and earning income. She’s making very poor choices, but it takes a lot more than making very poor choices and having a mental illness to get put in a conservatorship. Again, the standard in CA is gravely disabled, unable to meet basic needs, and less restrictive alternatives failed.

Generational mental illness in her family.

Agree. People who haven’t dealt with this don’t understand. My sibling has schizophrenia. We had awesome parents who are gone now, but it runs in our family. Didn’t know about it growing up. It’s devastating.

PP here. I do understand. We have ASD, extreme anxuery, and schizophrenia on my dad's side over multiple generations. He and my mom were wonderful parents. My siblings abd I didn't know about it growing up either but learned of some male relatives with those issues, despite their high intelligence. Too many people have no understanding of the impact.

Yet California has so many homeless individuals. The laws are too restrictive for peoole to get help for mentally ill family members. .

Spending your money on meth isn’t what most would call “fun.”

Zero credible evidence she's on meth. But blowing your money on drugs doesn't justify conservatorship under the law anyway. Once again, consider retired professional athletes. Should a substantial portion of them be in conservatorships for making idiotic financial decisions and having addictions?

Certainly those that have clear CTE damage engaging in bizarre behavior should be, yes.

I wasn’t surprised at all.

I am actually kinda shocked that this waited to happen at 44!!

Poor Britney.
I recall when she was younger how she seemingly had it all.
I.e., youth, beauty, fame, fortune, a seemingly loving family, a heartthrob boyfriend ➕ a slew of fans.

Time has not been very kind to her.
I hope she has someone in her family who can look out for her for the rest of her life because things will likely only get worse as she gets older.

I have to agree with this sad sentiment.

Her parents sadly seem incapable of loving her properly.

DP. Plenty of male celebrities who have rumored to use drugs and wasted money that haven’t been forced into conservatorships. Chris Brown, Justin Beiber, Kanye west etc

She would not have all that money if she'd been on her own.

She was already rich before the conservatorship. And you could also argue that part of her mental state now is probably due to the conservatorship itself and basically becoming a slave with control over her own choices. Notice Amanda Bynes parents didn’t have her working away during her conservatorship.

Why do posters keep arguing that because plenty of x, y and z male celebrities/athletes do this then she can do it? Is there a troll who is just hell bent on arguing that she should never be under a conservatorship bc homeless people exist/ NFL players get DUIs/ Kanye West is bipolar/ Chris Brown (huh?)/male celebrities waste money……

Because people keep saying she should be under conservativorship because X and then others respond to explain those things have been done by many other celebrities and do not come close to the legal standard for conservativorship.

As a younger person, she did not walk into studios on her own and sign contracts without oversight. She did not drive herself to rehearsals and performances.
