mzncb 332 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I posted earlier about how it was hard to find 2007 Britney news footage but I found some. I think it's worth posting for the music fans/stans who were to young to remember it just to see the intensity of the coverage. This obviously wasn't all the coverage; this was something that went on ALL year long in MAINSTREAM media. (And I remember media were ridiculing her too, I unfortunately can't find that) People now say well Beyonce, Katy or Taylor are now facing backlash like Britney. No. That's laughable. Maybe it's reminiscent of 2002-2004 Britney bashing but 2007 was Michael Jackson level. One would think that with last years' 10 year anniversary of the Britney 'meltdown', all the publications who commented would show that footage, just to see how the media has changed post-Britney. Let's not forget Kim Kardashian, a mother, and one of the most famous women in the world, just posted multiple nude/revealing photos of herself on social media and was only criticized by Piers Morgan and Wendy Williams, which everyone has already forgotten about as opposed to being condemned as a mother all year long by mainstream media. In any event, here is some of that footage: http://www.mtv.com/video-clips/k3k7fc/britney-s-sad-saga-motherhood-under-a-microscope And people wonder why Britney doesn't make 'personal albums'.

BLACKOUTbritney 22,359 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Honestly Michael Jackson, Princess Diana, Britney Spears, Amy Winehouse and Gaga have all gone through a heighten level of media scrutiny when compared with other celebs since the 90s. They all achieved huge levels of fame and then were ripped down by the media at any chance they got. It adds to their legacy but its also so sad because it either did destroy their lives (MJ, Diana, Amy) or at least ruined it for a long period of time (Britney, Gaga). It wasn't just backlash for them, it was like a phenomenon to try and take away what they could from people they believed had everything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why I just said ‘heightened media scrutiny’. In no way was I saying all of them were on the same level of scrutiny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brit4ever 2,034 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 They were all so cruel to her and all Britney wanted was to lead a happy life without everyone telling her what to do and to have family and children. People realy wanted one day to wake up and read on the news that she killed herself or overdosed, to bring her down like they did to Diana, MJ and Amy Winehouse, but she survived and returned on top, Thanks to Britney, celebrities/stars nowadays are able to have perssonal life and papparazzi are not allowed to harass them like they used to do with Britney, celebrities should be thankful to her.

LetsGetHigh 52,683 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Honestly Britney was out doing drugs and clubbing when she had a new born whereas Kim is just appreciating her body. But besides that, I do agree, the Media went too hard on Britney in 2007 and it's disgusting how there aren't laws against that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britney was only 25 at the time and didn't had the oppurtunity to grow up as a normal teen. She was in the spotlight ever since she was 10-11 and was Overprotected.mp3, she wanted to be as people her age, go to parties, have fun and when you add to that her bipolar disorder and the fact that she was used as a cashcow by everyone in her life for already a decade, it equals a breakdown, people should've realy been more tolerant and less judgemental. I think that since 2007/8 there's a law in California that forbids papparazzi to follow celebrities as wolf packs and harass them with their cameras, due to Britney and since than I think magazines and media are much more tolerant and give stars more space, so things are better now.

But besides that, I do agree, the Media went too hard on Britney in 2007 and it's disgusting how there aren't laws against that. I'm glad you brought that up. Firstly, this year plus long media 'attack' started when the paparazzi took photos of Britney's vagina in November 2006, which would be no different than Kim's relentless nude selfies other than Kim's willful action rather than Britney's involuntary action. Second, Britney's 'doing drugs and clubbing' could have been due to postpartum depression. She got divorced and started partying only 2 months after she gave birth, which was already after Britney being condemned as a mother for most of the year. But as for the drugs, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez (who are around Britney's then age with the later the most followed person on Instagram) and a whole host of other celebrities have drug addiction/mental health problems but you don't see it all over mainstream media today, do you?
