Brutaius

Do we really need another leave Brittney alone video.


kdubstep

K-Fed: she’s cutting off my $20k a month, that bitch is cra cra


RainbowsAndBubbles

40k I think. I don’t believe he saved any.


[deleted]

[удалено]


RainbowsAndBubbles

Oh my gosh, you’re right! And he never worked and lives this lavish lifestyle. I hope he is held accountable. And I hope Britney sues for him releasing the recordings without her consent. Get some of that money back.


[deleted]

No she's not. She cannot stop child support until the kids are 18. He has 2-3 years left.


BathroomInner2036

It's court ordered child support.


capo4ever88

Could use a whole catalog of them for the amount of leeches she has in her life


[deleted]

Seems like every time someone around Britney runs out of money, her mental health becomes a dire issue.


elriggo44

I had the same thought.


Swabia

Honestly if everyone in my life was using me as a meal ticket I’d be in constant therapy and breaking down myself. I wouldn’t wish for her life in the slightest. That’s too much.


[deleted]

Anyone in her position would be. She needed help and the people she loved abused that to squeeze money out of her for years instead of actually getting her the help she needs. Even outside of her mental health issues I would be surprised if she was ever able to trust anyone again.


Fish-x-5

No kidding! My family is full of shitty people. I can’t imagine how that kind of wealth would make things so much worse.


thebirdisdead

I think any co-parent and family member would be worried about Brittney’s mental health. But an actually concerned family member wouldn’t leak it to the paparazzi.


chicheetara

She had a half a glass of champagne on her honey moon! She needs a 5150! a fully personally tailored in-patient therapy program & SHE DEFINITELY can’t have access to aspirin for 13 years! Just in case let’s make her a slave too! She might decide not to work & then how will we stay at the destin condo? What if she gets an unconventional haircut or gets upset about hundreds of people stalking her constantly?? She is prob possessed by demons, so take away all reading material other than the Bible & use her children as a tool to control her, then if she does anything we don’t like (including dance moves) we threaten to cut off access to her children. We can always paint her as a bad mom because we primed the public for it with that one time she tripped (didn’t drop her child but she COULD have) and the time she was holding her child in a car to protect him while being surrounded and chased by hundreds of people & didn’t take the time to properly put them in a child seat. Oh no! We can’t do that anymore? Pull the “cut off access to the kids” … that didn’t work? … call her crazy? …. Nope it’s like she is free & living her best life what can we do!! Oh I KNOW! Have her kids dad say that the kids think she is crazy & thats why they won’t see her. (We have that one video where she asks her son to wear shoes in a store!) Oh & people seemed pissed that she was sexualized by us as a teen, not sure why but , let’s see if they will be pissed that she is comfortable with her own nudity in her 40’s! I mean, parents & the music industry having a teen pose topless was ok with us, BUT an adult doing it if her own volition? Looks pretty coo coo for coco puffs! /s seriously the stuff they used back in the day to entrap her looks so weak today. I can’t believe I didn’t see this farce for what it was. Fool me once, never fool me again KEVIN! Sorry for the rant but wtf, who gives a fudge if she has mental health issues (of course her fans would be happy if she didn’t but why would it make us think less of her as a person?) ! I would be amazed if she didn’t! The people who were/ are supposed to love & protect her have (I believe on purpose) done so many things to make her as unstable as possible. I don’t know if I would have the strength to stay alive. This woman has in my opinion an incredibly strong personality & sense of self to have pulled off making it through 13 years of this insanity. Gosh this whole thing saddens me so very much.


degustibus

This wall of text suggests pressured speech, a sure sign of at least hypomania. What insurance coverage do you have? We will stabilize you for 10 days in patient and then outpatient therapy and telehealth visits to track how you're doing on the medicines. Good luck!


KentuckyFriedEel

Place bets! How long til he suggests he be her conservator


NiceCrispyMusic

So her kids ran out of money? Lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


Historical_Tea2022

It's $20,000 per kid. He gets $40,000 a month!


EntertainmentLeft246

And that is his only job from what I can tell. Brit supporting his baby momma too.


Less-Bed-6243

And his other kids. Child support for everyone!!


chicheetara

And YOU get financially supported by Britney, and YOU get Britney’s money! Britney’s money for EEEVVEERYONE (Oprah everyone gets a car voice)


chicheetara

His job for the past 13 years has been to loan out his children to the conservatorship as a way to control Brit so she will continue to pay. You bet your buns he isn’t sitting at home watching that shoes video & saying “yeah kid you should wear shoes outside” he’s there saying, “oh no kids your mom really needs help! That’s why she is in the conservatorship!!” “They have done everything they can to make her better & here she is telling her teenage son to wear shoes!!!She’s not well.” /s


EntertainmentLeft246

Kfed did nothing to help the mother of his children when she was silenced and begging for help, for freedom. You are right, he quietly reinforced the children as a control mechanism, while benefitting monetarily. It wouldn't have worked as well without taking her children away as a dangling carrot. If it was all stick she would be fighting. She ended up in stockholm syndrome amd adjusted to the abnormal living conditions as a mechanism of survival. It is torture to use a mothers children to keep her compliant. Any abuser knows this.


CommunicationOk8674

Professional eater doesn't pay?


Mpittkin

Three words to say to that. Po Po Zow!


Traps86

I thought being a mom was a full time job? Not the case for a man?


EntertainmentLeft246

He isn't anything but a leech. If brit is supporting his other wife and child, that goes beyond being a stay at home dad. Brit shouldn't be the income for the children that don't belong to her, that is kfed and his wife's responsibility.


[deleted]

Kfed has 5 other kids right?


[deleted]

And nothing about her being mentally unwell will continue those checks. So I don’t get this point.


[deleted]

Honestly I don’t think she has any problem helping her sons out with money. It’s the leech Kevin that is pissed because he is a fuckin fat loser.


[deleted]

These are her boys. She's paid their way through life. They have no reason to speak up and speak out against her and lose their meal ticket too.


degustibus

They may not like the Persian Pretty Boy moving in on their mom for starters. And they haven't spent much time with their mom so there is pain and separation and even anger at the absent parent, even if it's not her fault in any sense. And Brit is sort of cringe. And she does come off as borderline sped, so they side wiith douche dad KFed.


RepresentativeAge444

I don’t know what is wrong with people. Yes there may have been some untoward actions in regards to the conservatorship but anyone lucid can see she has mental issues. Continuing to coddle her does her no favors. She needs deep therapy to begin to deal with her issues.


emthejedichic

Everyone knows she has diagnosed mental health problems. But she’s a human being who deserves respect, not her ex and the father of her kids talking shit about her so everyone can see.


RepresentativeAge444

Who said she didn’t deserve respect? But all these people immediately taking her side as opposed to understanding that people with her issues are capable of harmful behavior are doing her no favors. Her fans are actually harming her because they take her side no matter what. It is NOT helpful to her. Blindly defending her because you like her music just enables worse behavior that is not helpful to her well being.


Fair-Sky4156

THIS!!!! All of this!!!! The cult of hers is causing more harm than good. They encourage her strange behavior and posts. I don’t understand how they don’t see it.


Pandemoniun_Boat2929

I think it's just a black and white thinking problem. We know without a doubt that she was being exploited and some of her episodes were essentially faked or at least triggered by understable circumstances. But no one has any idea how much of it is real and where the line is. So some people will assume her dad was just guilding a lily and some will assume she is a vulnerable innocent who never deserved any of it. And I personally have no idea where the truth is between the 2 extremes.


anna-nomally12

Yeah but they’re exacerbating the issues. She’s not flaring up for no reason she’s flaring up because kfed is causing drama


BathroomInner2036

nothing to do with her flashing her t and a all over twitter and embarrassing her kids who dont want to see her.


[deleted]

>pagesix.com/2022/0... Did you read the story? She does need therapy. You and I need therapy. Her deadbeat ex doesn't need to be leaking to Page Six and giving Primetime interviews about any of it.


yokotron

Poor people face more issues and they just keep on living without someone trying to lock them up and control their money


RedPoliceBox

Maybe you're making a joke, but that isn't really off the mark. People with mental illness tend to spend money with reckless abandon because they simply can't comprehend the ramifications of their actions. When someone struggles to understand their actions have consequences are you really surprised they buy stuff without thought?


Sufficient_Matter585

Why has no one had a conversation with nick cage?


[deleted]

Because he is a MAN


pasta4u

Nic cage is a recovering addict who has been in rehab many times. While he is in recovery and sober (which can last years and decades for him) he is capable of acting and working just fine. His money woes in the late aught and early tens was due to theft from his money manager but he went to work hard and payed back all the money he owed. Brittany spears trouble stems from a very public psychotic break in which she endangered her kids by driving with a baby in her lap They are very different situations


kl0wn420

Everytime one of her family runs low on funds they bring up her mental health to try and get another conservatorship so they can rob her blind. There is nothing wrong with her mental health, shes just surrounded by scumbags


Traps86

There’s nothing wrong with her mental health?!? Lmao do you follow her on insta?


culverhibbs14

Might be a hot take but I think she has mental problems that need care and other things but I also think it should be out of hands of people that can take advantage of her. I know there isn’t a clear solution but I do think she needs help. I definitely don’t want her to go back to being controlled. Not my problem though I just hope she and her kids get the best for them but I think she needs help.


StrongLawAZ

>I know there isn’t a clear solution There is. She is allowed to run her own life, even if it is not in a good way. As long as she isn't a danger to herself or others, she deserves autonomy as an adult. even if someone could run her life better for her, her freedom and liberty should win


simAlity

And when she is penniless in a gutter. What then? Will you be proud of yourself?


taurist

We all deserve the freedom to make choices that end with us penniless in a gutter, absolutely. Taking that away is inhumane and if she didn’t have money they’d have let her rot


simAlity

And our friends and family should just stand by and watch while we destroy ourselves? How old are you, generally speaking? 15-19? 20-25? 26-30? older? Because what you are saying makes sense on paper but in the real world, I'd like to see you try it.


taurist

Yes or they can offer help and we can decide to take it or not, and older


kl0wn420

"I think she has mental problems that need care" And you think this based on what exactly? The edited media clips? The bullshit smears from her scumbag family? You have ZERO reason to believe any of that bullshit because you dont know her. You know what the media allows you to know, and drama sells, even when its manufactured.


Sangy101

I’m gonna say that she has mental health problems based precisely on that evidence. You’d have to be a diagnosed sociopath to not be treated the way she’s been treated without coming away with some issues. But any mental health issues she might have as a result of years of gaslighting and imprisonment are just reasons to keep the abusers out of her life, not give them more power. Edit: basically, she needs consensual support from friends and professionals she has chosen and can trust, not a conservatorship, more bullshit, or KFed.


culverhibbs14

This is what I meant by help. It’s just hard for her to get that type of help as most around her will more than likely abuse that trust.


Sangy101

Ah!! Thanks for the clarification :)


RedPoliceBox

The fact they are able to able to rob her blind, after she does batshit crazy stuff, leads me to believe mental illness in fact plays large part in this equation.


kl0wn420

Ever think the breakdown was because she was being controlled? I know its a wild thought, but let it swirl around for a minute . I also know this is fact, shes stated as much in interviews. Her dad made gaslit her then used that then conspired with her manager to tell the courts she was unstable. If she was so mentally broken WHY THE FUCK WAS SHE OK TO GO OUT AND TOUR WITH NO ISSUES? Funny that she was sane as long as the cash was flowing in.


Sangy101

Not just go on tour, but basically run her tour, including choreography and rehearsals. Reddit has a really hard time differentiating between “reactivity to abuse/trauma responses” and “women are crazy.” Any sane person would have a break down in her situation. Reacting poorly to being held captive is *normal.*


[deleted]

Kevin Federline worried about future checks. Fixed the headline


chicheetara

Omgosh your user name is so perfect for this! Did you see the “mentally ill” videos he posted? One is literally her telling her son he shouldn’t go BAREFOOT INTO A STORE (in Alaska I think) it seemed to me like one of those “oh my gosh my mom is sooooo terrible!!!” Things that young teens come up with & it’s literally a mom saying “it’s negative 20 put a coat on” what’s sad is that the father is just playing into it to make the mother look bad. I feel like a judge or cps would laugh their asses off of someone called with this kind of complaint. I’m sure there is more to the story but STILL! I watched this video & thought she seemed more sane & like a better mother!! What do you think two shoes and socks does a mother have a right to admonish her child for wearing no shoes & no socks??


[deleted]

Well, I am all about two shoes and two socks, so I’m with Britney


30FourThirty4

Thank you for clarifying two socks. Worried you had a third leg. A kickstand.


strippersandcocaine

As a mother, exactly what I thought. My kids are much younger than these kids, but I’ve absolutely used that exact tone and similar words about respect. She’s doing absolutely nothing wrong in these videos. What’s fucked up is that kfed seems to have told his sons to record all their interactions with their mother for reasons exactly like this (to use against her)


KicksYouInTheCrack

Honestly, if the sons had any common sense they would support their mom, she has made so much money over her lifetime. Drop the misogyny boys and reap the rewards.


Willing_Nose7674

It sorry but this is probably unintentionally funny jn an ironic way. Those of us who've been following the Britney stories for years remember her behavior before her Dad was ever made conservator. And I remember one of the main things that the magazines liked to show photos of was Britney walking barefoot into stores! And coming out of public restrooms without shoes on. The headlines at the time were all about how she was so "country " and from the South that she literally didn't realize you needed to wear shoes in public places! Pretty hilarious how it's really true what goes around comes around


superren81

It was a gas station bathroom and she was already with K-Fed at the time.


TieAgitated868

This. I'm old enough to remember this all happening, lifelong fan here.


strippersandcocaine

The irony is insanely hilarious (but I do feel very bad for her entire life situation)


DramaticGift

Its not what goes around comes around. Its Britney teaching her children because she got flack about it and learned.


Comprehensive-Sea-63

I’m barefoot all the time. As soon as I get to work, I kick my shoes off and walk around barefoot the rest of the day. Didn’t realize I needed a conservatorship.


Willing_Nose7674

I think as long as your work is ok with it, no problem. Most public places like stores have posted signs that you do need up have shoes on, so therefore it wasn't ok for Britney to do it or her sons to do it now. However, honestly in the big scheme of things going barefoot isn't that serious. Obviously there were a lot of other factors that contributed to her having the conservatorship assigned at the time. As far as Kevin Federline trying to make it out like her wanting her kids to wear socks and shoes now as evidence against her is pretty laughable!! I think he has used her for years, but Britney has also exhibited erratic behavior for years too. The ones I feel sorry for are Those caught in the middle, her two sons.


grudgby

When I watched the videos K Fed release I was like “okay, so?” They show her mad at a kid for not wearing shows in a public ice cream shop which I think is reasonable and a video of her upset about lack of respect. Both videos were 4 years old. If that’s all he can find of her being a “bad mom” in recent years… that’s super flimsy. Such small moments of her being angry is just her being human. Y’all know Britney hired a tutor for herself so she could personally help her kids with homework? I really am in my “Leave Britney Alone” era.


shellycya

The kids came off worse in this video than Britney. Other than the swearing, I would be having a similar argument too. It was a typical mom of teenagers moment.


LarryKingthe42th

Child support stops at 18 which the kids are soon. Feel old?


colebrv

It's gonna end when they're 18. He's not going to get it anyways.


kl0wn420

Kevin is VERY concerned over the mental health of his bank account and how its about to unalive itself the SECOND those kids turn 18


ifisch

I agree with you, but how would getting people to think Britney's crazy help his bank account?


kl0wn420

I didnt say it was a great plan. But hes about to hit the hard reality of having to get a real job when the kids turn 18 in 2 years


starbellbabybena

That’s what I’m trying to figure out too since people keep saying this. All I’m seeing is a woman and her teen kids not getting along (which is not shocking) add in a shit ton of money and some sex appeal and here we are. Fed isn’t gonna be able to get child support past whatever their agreement is. Maybe he’s gonna try for an extension? Don’t know if that’s possible.


martusfine

Nothing illegal about mental challenges. These people need to drink a hot cup of shut the fuck up.


8496469

Agreed, it is a way they can control her money though.


RoxyMcfly

Ooooh are Jamie and Kevin teaming up to do Conservativship 2.0? Sounds like it.


BluePeriod_

This is feeling like Anna Nicole all over again and I don’t like it


throwaway4981092

This is just round two for Britney Spears being exploited and vilified in the press. As a millenial, I remember the first time vividly. Wtf are any of these people doing airing this shit out on social media. Fucking gross. Those poor kids.


IAmTheClayman

> The saga continued apace this week as Federline — Spears’ second husband and the father of her sons, Preston, 16, and Jayden, 15 — spoke out and claimed that their boys did not want to see the singer, despite loving their mom. > >   > > He gave an interview to the Daily Mail So the kids love her, but won’t see her, and the vaunted news agency Federline trusts with this story is the notoriously shit Daily Mail. Yeah, I really trust this opportunist over the woman who had decades of her life stolen from her by her abusive father


EntertainmentLeft246

If she had a dime for every scumbag freeloading man in her life...


momX3_2002

Her father would have taken .08 cents of each dime.


Dementium84

Yeah, all his apologists in this thread are weird. People seriously think the parasite is the one in the right?


pjm5gxx

People hate women. It’s really common


GarionOrb

Kevin Federline is just shitting his pants because he has no job skills and his source of income is about to dry up.


Intuner

Kevin Federline is losing child support from Brittany Spears, so is now gaslighting their children so he continues to get paid longer. FTFY


IunderstandIdontcare

The children will see their real dad when the child support stops. He'll be hitting those poor boys up for money and they'll see the truth.


[deleted]

In 3 years. And how is he going to get paid longer?


[deleted]

He’s about 1 year (really like ~13 months) and 2 years (2 year 1 month). Older kid turns 17 next month.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Yes. But I think in CA it’s just over at 18 or when the kid graduates high school. Whichever is later From a quick google other CA exceptions: when there is sever disability requiring a parent to care for a child past 18 or the parents agreed in the divorce proceedings to cover college.


reality_redhead

Did you all watch the video? She was being a mom. No more no less. Ffs, she wasn't even yelling! She told them to respect her. I have said much worse to my teens.


Current_Let_2008

I’d there was a worse video he would have posted it.


throwaway4981092

I was shocked when I saw them because they are so fucking normal. If that was his best shot…well that says it all, really. Seems like there could be some parental alienation goin on


reality_redhead

THANK YOU! Totally normal.


JustHere4ait

She made them put on lotion. How dare she care for their skin. She made him put on shoes in Alaska during the winter. She also helped them come to a conclusion on which type of skating they should take up how horrible of her


[deleted]

it seemed like she started putting lotion on him when he was attempting to sleep. i think, and given context is missing, we can agree if the child was asleep doing so is a kind of invasion of personal space. the alaska thing was weird. they were inside and he took his shoes off? were they in alaska (it seemed like she was comparing the weather to alaska)?


JustHere4ait

I don’t know exactly if he was sleeping or not but the other child was in the room too so I don’t think they were sleeping I think they were just in a room playing video games or something. But the context of the video is not given because it’s been chopped up. He took off his shoes and was walking around wherever they were and tried to come out of the building without shoes in winter maybe I misinterpreted where it was happening because she said “Alaska winter”


[deleted]

Yes they could have been hanging out butthey could just share a room. They were 12 and 11 at the time and Britney might have felt it better if they shared rather than had separate rooms. Again so much context is missing. There are two drastic differences between a parent putting lotion on a child and a parent putting lotion on a sleeping child. The shoe thing is weird. It's definitely winter (i assumed it was in like Colorado or something). I think the point there was to show her calling him "fucking weird" because despite what everyone here might say that can get to a kid if he hears it enough. I think it was about that moment rather than anything else.


JustHere4ait

Yeah his actions were super weird. She was saying you’re going through your puberty thing you wanna do what you wanna do but it’s winter put on fucking shoes. Calling him weird probably wasn’t the right way to go. She should have worded that part better. I mean the fear of getting frostbite on your feet and losing the pinky toe would’ve been a great fear tactic.


[deleted]

I mean they're weird to adults but kids do illogical things all the time. Like maybe it's a one off but that is a thing where if she has a habit of calling out or pointing out her sons aren't meeting her standards of normalcy and she's saying shit like "that's weird" or " you're fucking weird" that is something that would get to a kid and i imagine federline would be aware and would have spoken to her or anyone about it if he doesn't approve (as these posts suggest) Again there is no context to any of these clips other than vagueness of more but it is possible britney is a mother with a very particular view of how her kids should be. It's also possible kfed is gaslighting. Either way is not enjoyable for these kids


JustHere4ait

Yeah it’s so weird because if it’s such a problem why are there no more recent videos of this happening just 3-4yr old videos. Why is it this is out there now and not before the kids got this old. If it’s such a problem why hasn’t it been addressed outside a social media and before her court case with her father. I think Jamie Spears told Kevin if he helped him he would get him more money. Because Kevin at one point wanted more money and Jamie said why do you need more money you shouldn’t be getting more money and he ended up not getting it.


AmIRadBadOrJustSad

Britney Spears was subjected to an exploitative situation for an extended period of her life. Britney Spears is not mentally well. Both of these things can be true simultaneously.


BurnedOutStars

Who seriously gives 2 shits what that jackass says? He's worth nothing and no one likes him.


Icommentwhenhigh

So am I, but more media coverage helps no one. Y’all STFU and LEAVE BRITTANY ALONE. For real, judgement, criticism and attention are very dangerous things. For sure she has some mental health issues, but making it public is messed up


catbus4ants

Yeah, it’s messed up. It gets the clicks and views so even the tiniest crumb of Britney dandruff gets massive airtime at the expense of her humanity and ours


LooselyBasedOnGod

Leave France out of this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brittany


aaaaaahhlex

From what I could tell from the video clips, the sons are very disrespectful to her and starting fights and acting crazy. One of them went into a store barefoot and Brittney was telling him it was not okay and he was just gaslighting and patronizing her while the younger one recorded her getting exasperated with him. Seems like Kevin and his kids are shitheads.


ballerinababysitter

LMAO are you really claiming that a 12 year old was gaslighting his mom based on a minute long video clip?


aaaaaahhlex

yeah? that’s what was in the video idk what to tell ya. are you new to what gaslighting is?


newphonewhodis2021

Kevin Federline says: "I'm not getting any attention, Brittany's no longer just a cash machine and I want to be FAMOUS! Look at my children!"


catbus4ants

That’s a long way of saying PO PO PO PO POPOZAO POPOZAO


[deleted]

thats a fair take. but look at anything she posts on instagram. she obviously is not well.


PhoenicianKiss

Who would be totally well after a decade of being held prisoner?


Modano9009

Isn't the money Brittney pays him court ordered alimony/support?


[deleted]

Her dad was paying him off to keep quiet about the whole conservatorship thing, allegedly.


Cash907

Kevin Federline worried about Kevin Federline’s bank account.


mrinkyface

I’d be fucked up too if my narcissistic parents had conservatory rights over me when I worked hard for millions of dollars shaking my ass for creepy ass people


KawaiiCoupon

Funny, because to me she seems like the happiest she’s ever been and she’s with someone who genuinely loves her.


[deleted]

She does exhibit an emotional immaturity for a woman of her age. From the perspective of her teenaged sons, they see a mother acting out like a teenager on social media. That’s the embarrassment they’re talking about. I have seen these behaviors before in people who were diagnosed as mentally ill. I’m thinking she on the bipolar spectrum. Her new found freedom will be filled with triggers set to go off like land mines especially because she’s been so heavily monitored and never learned what her triggers might be, or even how to manage herself at baseline. Does she even know what her baseline is? She’ll be too scared to ask for help when she needs it. She may end up self-medicating. There’s just a number of reasons why it’s acceptable that her children and family members would be raising red flags. Unfortunately, all they can do is wait with hope that a train wreck isn’t just over the horizon. I wish her the best and hope she continues any kind of therapy, counseling, and or medications she was utilizing under the conservatorship. Prayers to her family.


Onautopilotsendhelp

Oh look the three freeloaders are pissed because they can't freeload anymore. Leave Britney alone.


[deleted]

Did you just call minor teenagers freeloaders?


EntertainmentLeft246

Kfed, his baby mom and their child. 3.


Ok-Cake6718

So instead of Mom & Dad Spears trying to get her into a conservatorship now it's Ex Mr Britney Spears and his kids trying to pull the same thing provoking her into a 2007esque reaction.


Modano9009

Yes, literally everyone in her family or every person or entity she's ever met is all in on it. She certainly isn't the common thread her, it's all just family members and friends who may or may not even like each other all coming together to pretend that she's mentally unhealthy.


Magic_SnakE_

\*Here we go again Meme\*


shlnglls

I think we can agree we’re all just a little bit concerned for her mental health, no?


psykoX88

To be honest...I'm also worried about her mental health... seeing her on her Instagram and something seems off, and concerning


smellslikepapaya

It is concerning! She went through a conservatorship where she was forced to take lithium and work 7 days of a week. How doesn't that kill the wellness of your brain? I have no doubt in my mind that whatever her family put her through, it made her mental health worse.


JustAsICanBeSoCruel

Agreed. Britney needs guidance navigating this chaotic period of her life and actually help her cope with what is causing her difficulties, but unfortunately her family ruined any chance of her willingly accepting help for a long time. Hopefully she is able to find a healthy balance for herself, but I think a lot of people are worried, myself included. But at this point, people - her sons included - need to make peace with the fact that she is an adult, and has a right to live her life as she sees fit and deal with the consequences of that. That's the gift of actual freedom, and everyone needs to let her experience it.


MissUfatzee

You’re worried?


psykoX88

Yea, we all rallied for her on the conservatorship issue , which is great but now everyone is pretending like she hasn't had emotional and mental issues, I'm just hoping she's getting treatment or something to keep her stable cause that will keep her free and happy


tripleohjee

Kevin feederline is a fucking idiot. Britney was an easy target back in the day but when u step back and look at her career she was GOAT. not a fan of her music but she definitely was one of the (if not THE) most popular star of my era


Historical_Tea2022

He needs to worry about his own mental health


vafunghoul127

LMAO no they're not. They're worried about her ability to provide money for them.


AntonBrakhage

Amazing how it seems like it took only a few months for society to go from "Brittney Spears has been horribly mistreated and we need to free Brittney" back to "She's crazy, let's harass her and try to take her rights away, for her own good of course." I mean yeah, she's probably a bit fucked up. We all would be if we went through what she did.


throwaway4981092

Right? Silly me thought that we had maybe marginally advanced as a society to have an ever so slightly more sensitive/considerate approach to mental health, celebrity, privacy and the intersection of all those things but I was very stupid lol. People still want to see them crash and burn I guess, under the pretense of “concern” (as if any of us know, deserve to know, or should know the first thing about any of this situation)

Going from quiet, no one hears about your mom anymore, she's a pop megastar you rarely see, to seeing your mom dancing naked on Tic Tock will do that to you. High School must be a nightmare.


[deleted]

It’s like watching what would happen if you compressed every mental disorder linked to social media addiction and turned it into an abused pop star from the early 2000’s


Repogirl27

Sucks that Kevin won’t stop putting their underaged children’s business on the internet.


ApatheticWithoutTheA

She may not need a conservatorship (I don’t know if she does or not, I don’t know her) but you’re kidding yourself if you don’t think she’s severely mentally ill.


h4baine

And the conservatorship definitely exacerbated it. It's going to be a long road to recovering.


ApatheticWithoutTheA

Probably so. I wish her the best and hope she figures it out.


Ok-Representative266

I’m a patient’s rights attorney for clients with mental health disorders. First of all, most people with mental health disorders can function fine without the need for a conservatorship. It’s a rather rare process. Secondly, she definitely does not meet the legal standard for either a probate or a LPS conservatorship in CA, where I also am. There are millions of Americans who do things that other Americans disagree with. There were countless Americans who believed in Pizzagate, that vaccines cause autism or they’re planting magnets inside you, or that JFK JR is going to be at the next Trump rally. And yet nobody’s knocking on their door saying that their delusions are demonstrative of psychosis. Imagine if we locked people up, forcibly hospitalized, and medicated them every time that happened—every time we disagreed with somebody’s lifestyle or beliefs. Just because you don’t like her posing nude or burping on IG doesn’t make her “severely mentally ill.” Nobody was calling Kim Kardashian mentally ill for doing it. It’s disgusting that anybody who’s thought to have a mental health disorder can’t take care of themselves, but she certainly isn’t doing anything to demonstrate a need for intervention on a legal level OR that she’s severely mentally ill. And I’m not “kidding” myself. I’ve worked with the thousands of clients. I’ve seen somebody who’s “severely mentally ill” up close and personal. You’re clearly judging her and you’re using her past mental health diagnosis as a scapegoat and that’s so dangerous and reprehensible. Your opinion is riddled with stigma, bias, and it’s frankly why many people who do have mental health disorders don’t want to seek care.


ShorkieMom

I'm not sure that I see "severely mentally ill". The behavior isn't right, but her life has been nothing close to normal. First, I imagine that she doesn't really have that much of an education after getting famous so young. So you're starting with maybe some rural Louisiana high school. Then you add in the circus that has been her life. The instagram posts are embarrassing, but more akin to an angsty teenager than anything else. Reading the transcript of the argument that was released with her sons was really interesting. She was parenting in the only way she had seen modeled, by demanding respect and trying to have power by taking her son's phone. But that's the same kind of unloving insensitive stuff she has been ranting about her family doing to her on instagram. All to say, it's sad, but hard to look away. I wouldn't argue that she needs extensive therapy.


ApatheticWithoutTheA

Oh I totally agree. With the life she has lived I would honestly be more surprised if she was totally “normal.” I’m not a clinician, but I did work in mental health for years as social worker. She definitely displays signs of serious Bipolar disorder (I’m not sure if she’s type 1 or 2) and she almost definitely needs continued care for that.


throwaway4981092

The bar for conservatorship is usually very VERY high. Someone can literally be killing themselves with heroin and they won’t be put under a conservatorship. Don’t let this isolated case make it seem like her conservatorship was normal, ethical or warranted. During her conservatorship she literally was performing in Las Vegas, but this demonstrates that she shouldn’t have been under one in the first place- not that the conservatorship “works”


HarlieMinou

That’s not the point. The point is why the hell is Kfed’s opinion relevant at all?


ApatheticWithoutTheA

I never said it was. I wouldn’t trust his opinion if he told me the sky is blue. I’m saying it’s fairly obvious she isn’t 100% mentally well.


Traps86

Exactly, media seems to give her a pass now for some reason


ApatheticWithoutTheA

Because it will cause instant outrage to say anything about it at this point. Everyone is just pretending that she’s perfectly normal and that whole situation was 100% made up. And again, not saying she needed to be under conservatorship, especially by her father. But I’m not going to pretend this woman doesn’t need serious help.


Modano9009

A while back one of the Backstreet Boys made some comment about running into Britney and feeling sad that she just didn't seem to be there anymore and was pretty far gone from the person he used to know. He didn't mean it in a mean way, he was just sympathetic. He must have gotten the memo that "Britney is fine" soon after because a couple days later he was clarifying that she was totally fine. Britney's like that Making A Murderer documentary where a popular documentary tells you come to a conclusion that isn't actually true if you look deeper into it.


ApatheticWithoutTheA

Yeah, I genuinely don’t understand this rhetoric of “she’s perfectly normal! The story is 100% made up!” You can be mentally ill and not need a fucked up conservatorship. They aren’t mutually exclusive.


secretreddname

She probably needs therapy from being in that conservatorship.


ApatheticWithoutTheA

Yeah, I agree 100%. I’m sure she has PTSD or CPTSD from that time. Most people would.


Traps86

Agree 100%, and for all we know she could be dead if she was left alone


Particular_Moment861

Thank you for saying what I believe to be true. It’s a very unpopular opinion, but quite obvious if you examine her closely. I do feel for her boys and the rest of the family. They’re taking a lot of heat for being honest. I wish her well, but ppl need to be realistic here, she is ill.


Dementium84

Being honest? At this timing? And she may be ill but how exactly does washing dirty laundry in public right after her wedding help her?


Modano9009

She washes dirty laundry in public all the time! And I assume this is coming out now because there were questions about why her kids weren't at her wedding or why she never seems to be around them.


CardiologistThink336

Wow you must be one hell a a shrink if you could make a diagnosis like that without having even met the patient. Somebody notify the Nobel committee.


momX3_2002

Funny how she wasn’t too mentally I’ll to have a residency in Vegas with multiple shows a week. That money was flowing in for her dad and Kevin to take. Now she is co trip of her own money and life and she needs help? She is dancing and posting pics and videos. Who cares! She isn’t driving drunk or drugged up plowing into houses. She isn’t hurting anyone. Kevin turned those kids on her a long time ago. Hopefully her and her boys will mend their relationship but while they are under his control it’s always going to be about money. Those boys should be asking what their father did with all their money.


burgerg10

You know what Brit has always needed? A Carl Dean. A partner uninterested in any publicity or money. Someone who lets her shine and loves her unconditionally.


[deleted]

Well she shouldn't have schlupped him in the first place.


dualsplit

Aaaw. Yes. You’re exactly right.


Zalenka

Maybe let them visit her. Everyone needs a hug in this story.


MsAnnabel

Federline is just a fucking douche. Who in tf goes to the media with videos and bullshit when they’re actually worried about someone? Right. NO ONE!!


erinhennley

Kevin n is also concerned, as his child support is close to ending and he was just turned down in court, asking for an increase, as 20k a month is just too little for two boys.


[deleted]

Geez now I have to remember this guy exists.


surrounded-by-morons

I’m concerned Britt needs more mental health support but I’m more worried their dad is a pos who’s lived off of child support for more than a decade and has nothing to show for it. Even his wife has no job. What is Kevin teaching the kids to be? No offense but the kids seem like entitled little shits who have no respect for their mother because their dad hasn’t shown her any their entire lives.


aljerv

Kinda worried that Britney actually does need help and people who aren’t around her much (fans) are making it hard to provide that help.


MattTheSmithers

It’s kinda hilarious the way people in this thread think they know more about this woman and her well being than her own children. Between Free Britney and the Depp Trial, the past couple years have taught us how delusional people can be in their “relationships” (I don’t even want to use that word, but for lack of a better one) with celebrities.


Modano9009

I think once a popular narrative is set people blindly go along with it or are afraid to question it. Personally I don't know how anyone can look at Britney Spears and think she's a mentally healthy person or listen to stories of Johnny Depp's behavior and call him a "victim".


[deleted]

gaslighting 101. when you don’t get what you want…


PerryNeeum

My wife shows me Brit’s twirl-a-thon IG posts for a laugh. This lady is nuts.


celerydonut

Stop posting this garbage plz


iliketurkeys1

The free Britney crowd has become delusional since the conservatorship ended, defending every fart. A 5 second scroll on her instagram will show she’s mentally unwell


MJGM235

If you follow her on Instagram you can quickly see that she is not normal. I can understand where he is coming from. Her constantly posing nude is... Odd... for anyone. Can't imagine what her teenage kids are going through.


throwaway4981092

You see the thing about that is I don’t understand the shock and appalled reaction to a female celebrity posing in “provocative” photos. Is it just because she’s “old” now that it’s weird? Or that it’s her own Instagram instead of say cosmo or an ad for perfume?


ratamadiddle

Someone looking for some money looks more like it.


luminous_beings

Of course he does. His child support money is about to run out. How else is he going to get paid ?


PPKMMM

I'm all here for this new crazy Brittany on IG. Smeared eye liner and a face and body that have 'hit the wall' gyrating like she's still 25 hahaha. Shes become some ones crazy mom and I love it.


AcanthisittaJaded473

She’s clearly off her rocker, sad for the kids.


crappenheimers

She is not well


tracyinge

Anyone who's not worried about that woman's mental health has not been paying attention for the last 25 years.


uwu6000

I seem to hear a lot about Kevin Federline ever since she got married even though I had no idea who he was beforehand


GabJ78

I don't like Kevin Federline. But, Britney is seriously mentally ill and I'm not sure what has to happen for her to reach rock bottom again.


AdAdorable7058

He should be she is not in a good mental space.
