[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just read the New Yorker piece. Her dad should be jailed, and every lawyer and the retired judge should be investigated.

The story of her possible postpartum breakdown in 2008-2010 really takes me back to an old job, where I was in my 20s and 30s. The other youngish women were MERCILESS about her, calling her white trash, a bad mother, stupid, a whore, a druggie. I have addiction in my family and didn’t judge in the same way, at all, but it was years before I had a baby, and I never thought of the crippling nature of her life’s pace and hormones colliding to help create a nightmare. The only good thing about reading this story today is my assumption that nasty observations won’t fly anymore, and that she may actually get some freedom with some financial controls if necessary according to a truly neutral assessor.

Perhaps.

Or, maybe her father is trying to prevent another Amy Winehouse or Lindsay Lohan situation.

It’s a fact she has mental health and addiction issues. It’s a miracle she still has a viable career and assets. Lohan and Winehouse don’t. The difference? The conservatorship.

Both Winehouse and Lohan were very talented. Their issues and lack of protection created their downfall. [/quote]

Lots of people have addiction and mental health issues. That doesn’t mean you can strip them of their rights and exploit them for monetary gain. [/quote]

[b]The entire world is watching. If anything illegal has occurred, it will be addressed. [/b]

The father isn’t living large. He and the management team safeguarded her fortune and sustained her marketability and brand. Perhaps they can loosen the reins a bit? The court will decide.

Ronan is a pot stirrer. He’s not neutral. His career is based on a niche tabloid angle wrapped in a faux advocacy package.

Again: Winehouse and Lohan.

I guarantee you if Britney had been left to fend for herself all these years that Lutfi and others would have milked her and left her unemployable, addicted, and penniless. [/quote]

How old are you? Are you a child? Bad shit happens all the time while the whole world watches. [/quote]

False equivalence. Why do you think that firm backed out of being attached to this? An investigation is underway. It will be played out in the court of public opinion simultaneously as the courts. [/quote]

Did you read the article?  Because the statements from Butcher are pretty damning. Jamie Spears sounds very abusive, first to his wife, and then his daughter. [/quote]

I read the article. It wasn’t drafted by a neutral party. Ronan is only relevant when he fancies himself as exposing corruption/abuse.

I’m not defending Jamie entirely. Wouldn’t surprise me if he was abusive. But that doesn’t mean he hasn’t protected her from a Winehouse or Lohan situation.

Too bad River Phoenix didn’t have someone looking out for him. [/quote]

There are less restrictives means to protect someone’s medical well being. I am the medical and financial power of attorney for my mother, who is schizophrenic, a manic depressive and experiences paranoid delusions. She has been 5150’ed a dozen times. She tried to set fire to her home. Unbeknownst to me, someone tried to put her under a conservatorship. I was contacted and the judge denied the because despite everything listed above, he did not think she was incapacitated. It was after that when I became her POA. She has been stable since then (for 6 years now).

Also someone else can be her conservator. It does not have to be a man who she believes abuses her. [/quote]
