Early onset dementia?

Perspective I did not have when I was in my early 20s watching her completely fall apart before our eyes. It never really occurred to me until I watched this that there are a lot of parallels between Britney and Princess Diana--both suffered from mental health issues, both were basically abused by the media, both harassed incessantly by the paparazzi, and both framed as the problem in her relationships. And watching that interview with Matt Lauer now makes me sick. I remember watching that when it initially aired thinking what a mess she is. Now as a mother myself, I could not imagine the sadness I would feel having my ability as a mother scrutinized on national tv (by a man nonetheless), or the rage I would feel if my kids were taken from me. Britney should have an independent conservator. It was the right thing for her father to step in at the point of crisis because otherwise, she probably wouldn't have made it out alive. Now, she seems to have a good support system in place and should have the ability to decide who should manage her finances and self-care. It's sad that she is unable to make these decisions for herself and her family basically uses her for $. I hope the court eventually rules in her favor.

She was treated like trash by the media and clearly suffering from mental illness in 2007. I have no opinion on her mental state today but if she was well enough to perform in Vegas for years, she is well enough to get her request for an independent conservator granted. That's a very rational request.

But I will say this: Britney was crazy then. Legit mentally ill. She was late teens and was completely out of control. Justin would bitch about how crazy she was constantly. She got some *unusual* piercings one night and he was ticked. He also was cheating on her hard core with a different girl or two every night. I witnessed this on many occasions until he dated Cameron then he behaved himself for a while.

But the way he acted all wounded and victimized with his Cry Me A River video was pure manipulation for exposure. Britney made Justin. JC was the talent. As far as celebs, he is the biggest jerk I ever met. For the record, Britney is just as she seems, sweet, genuine, simple, insecure, unstable and damaged.

Back then she was so gorgeous, it made you uncomfortable to stand next to her. But if she did not have that conservatorship, she would be dead y’all. Dead. She would’ve joined the 27 club long ago.

Why won’t you?

Because I am still good friends with some celebrities and I like to keep my friends. Since I don’t see or even know Justin or Britney anymore and have not seen them in 25 years, I don’t mind giving my decades old insight on this particular topic.
