Did I mention she’s gorgeous?

Also cray-cray. Which makes her even more gorgeous. She’s definitely way up in the upper right quadrant.

Gorgeous enough to offset the cray-cray? I admit to a low tolerance for bat sheet no matter how gorgeous. I'd prolly tire of her before she'd tire of me... maybe... if'n I even had a shot

This.
It goes beyond 'Britanny' with the right of a wealthy famous woman-child to ruin her own life. Or not.
Draconian indeed.

I've heard of some professional conservativeship-judicial cartels establishing control over the elderly after a cozy relationship with the court. Even those with competent and caring children. Everything gets transferred into some trust which is stripped bare within a few years leaving the parent to the state.

Why is she still working and making money for her father? Maybe she carves attention, maybe she's not smart enough to end the gravy train?

no, you dont get it. her dad runs the show. he has full legal guardianship. (there is a term for it) he keeps booking her on gigs against her wishes. she doesnt even have then power to not do shows. she has ZERO control of her life. her dad is trying to force her to get some birth control measure..like medical surgery to prevent future children. she has zero control. she needs an honest legal advocate or something.

i have a long ass commute, i was listening to some of the details on the drive.

[1990C4S]

I am well aware of the situation, but anyone can no show. Literally ANYONE.

true. very true. so true that is apparently what she has done. she stopped doing shows despite the legal contract...

to me honest, i cant name a single song she does and that is because my friends daughter was singing it all the time. i'm not a fan.

i feel bad for her. if i had her money, my life wouldnt be like her's.

[Crowbob]

She sings?

[URY914]

"Baby, baby....."

I don’t get it. Out of nowhere she’s a daily news story. About the only news item less valuable or interesting might be the royal family.

Rant over.

#FreeBritney

also #Free-the-uniformed like the OP

Pretty much

[greglepore]

I Care A Lot on Netflix, not far from reality.

Brittany needs to learn not to use the f word in court, as it sorta adds to the crazy narrative. But she is a slave to the money machine, and if she's financially irresponsible that's not reason for guardianship.

[Bill Douglas]

It was interesting that her dad only got back on the scene when there was some money in it for him. Lots of it.

[A930Rocket]

I can’t name a single song that she sings, but when she was younger, she was smoking hot. At 40 years old now, she really looks older than her age.

From what I have read, she is supporting all of her family and many others. I don’t blame her for wanting to have control over her own destiny and money, wherever that may lead.

[pmax]

Brittanny who ?

[craigster59]

I haven't really kept up but I had heard the only family member not on her payroll is her sister Jamie.

She's forbidden from marriage and having children, so someone's guarding the "Gray Train w/ Biscuit Wheels".

[svandamme]

I feel for her, and I doubt she's being cared for as well as she could be.

But she wasn't doing herself any favors with her testimony.
She was speed rambling.
The way she made her points

The argument that she wants to have another child, when she's legally not even capable of taking care of herself, does little to support claims that she should be allowed to take care of herself.

On the contrary it makes her come over as childlike and unable to reason or put forward arguments that support her request to the court.

But again, if she wants away from her dad's control, that's something she should get.
There are other options then leaving her with him and having him benefit from her earnings.

She’s more smoking hot now than she ever was.

An analogy that may work well here is that she is a white, female Michael Jackson.

Would MJ be alive today were he under a conservatorship?

I’d say yes, he would be.

Honestly, I think it is the same snake...

[Tobra]

I think it is the same snake.


I don't really find Ms Spears all that attractive.
