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.

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.

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.

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

I know you want to hold on with an iron fist to the benchmark only being able to provide a home and food, but under California law there are more factors that can contribute to being deemed gravely disabled so either you’re ignorant, highly misinformed or disingenuous. I suspect you just plugged something into Chatgpt and posted it.

California law also carves out whether an individual is able to provide for their own personal safety. If someone is unable to safely exist in their community, or cause them serious bodily harm or they’re under severe mental disorder or substance abuse, they may be found to not be able to provide personal safety for themself

Britney may very well be there.

Are you joking? California’s standard is MORE rigorous than Virginia’s (as is expected). There, conservatorship is considered a “last resort” and less restrictive alternatives need to have failed.

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.
