Britney's life behind the scenes is "sad and quite lonely"

[Gimme More 35,365]

The fundamental question at the core of all this is: do we, as fans, have any right at all to know what goes on behind closed doors, not just in her home but in her lawyers’ and doctors’ offices? Tess explains that she thinks we do. ‘Britney is a public figure and a lot of the stuff that has come out in the last 11 years has been concerning. You are allowed to question what’s been going on.’ Babs explains, ‘We’ve learned by now that conservatorships are for people who have very little capacity to do anything, not for people who are performing on stage in Vegas and making lots of money.’ Tess adds, ‘And I think [it’s disturbing] because people know there is money to be gained.’

Rex Glensy, a partner at Plonsker Law LLP, adds that it is uncommon for a conservatorship to have lasted as long as Britney’s. ‘Conservatorships are not very common for working-age adults... Britney Spears’ conservatorship could only end in one of two ways: her death, or another court proceeding, most likely initiated by her or her father, in which she is deemed to be responsible and capable of handling her finances again. There is no time limit to when this could occur.’

This isn’t the first time the effect of Britney’s legal conservatorship has caused controversy. In 2008, Rolling Stone published a cover story entitled ‘The tragedy of Britney Spears’, which began: ‘She was a pop princess. Now she’s in and out of hospitals, rehab and court. How Britney lost it all.’ In 2016, the New York Times published an article entitled ‘Is Britney Spears ready to stand on her own?’, in which they argued that Britney, as one of the top five highest-earning female pop stars, thanks to her Las Vegas shows, appeared to be making progress while the court order remained firmly in place.

A source close to the singer tells Grazia that while Britney’s Instagram posts of the last year had appeared to prove to her 21 million followers that she was in a different chapter of her life – hanging out with her two children and boyfriend Sam – her life behind the scenes is ‘sad and quite lonely’. ‘Britney doesn’t have a lot of close friends around her. Her dad Jamie is her best friend, and she definitely did struggle with his recent serious illness. But there is a concern that there is simply too much control over her life. So she throws herself into dancing and preparing for performances; that’s the only time she truly feels like herself.'

It might be easy to dismiss the Britney ‘truthers’ with their conspiracy theories and placards, but at the heart of all this is a tragic story about a woman who has had a large part of her freedom taken away. ‘Britney’s life is not her own, and it has not been for over a decade’ said the insider. ‘She is trapped in a lonely prison which is ostensibly created for her own protection: with no visible path out.’

I never looked at her this way. It's very sad what we hear but at least it gradually all comes to light. 

I wish her the best.

All these stories are so disturbing.   I haven't been able to stop thinking about her conservatorship ever since I found out how controlled her life actually is, which was only a few weeks ago. It's so bizarre - this is a form of modern day slavery.  

Thanks for keeping us updated, I can't wait to see what happens at the next court hearing, or whatever it actually is... Hoping for the best, she deserves her life back.

i once saw an interview with britney spears about 5 years ago. i don't remember anything about it except for some reason it made me sad because i thought i detected an air of profound loneliness or some kind of sadness in it, and it was actually from then on that i began to conclude that fame can be very unhealthy and detrimental to a person's quality of life sometimes. and when i see people trying to become famous, i just think about how that is so not a good idea for your mental and social health.

They really out here making it look like she’s a free woman lmfao I hate her team they all need to be fired. And what’s this? Her best friends is her evil ass father? Literally sickening and disgusting. This is so ****ing sad. 

[Adrenaliner 3,788]

I am SO glad that this issue is FINALLY getting the recognition it needs!

How can a GROWN WOMAN earning millions per year by performing worldwide, raising two children and staying in an outstanding shape need to be controlled by her father, who allegedly almost died and is in a terrible condition. That **** doesn't make any sense.

Our humanitarian Gaga should speak up for her. 

[Guest]

As much I'm glad she's back on the right track, am i the only one who thinks how the media + some members of her family are exploiting the situation ? She's a human being with mental health issues and should be allowed to deal with it on her on terms, not being spoke about in the press and social media.

[ShockPop 7,747]

You never know what mental shape she's in though, so you can't judge her situation fairly.

If she was unhappy she would refuse to perform... which I guess she has now .
