Why would the people who were controlling her social media be posting complaining about the people who were controlling her?

The description I heard about her social media when it was controlled was that it was a mix of wanting her to seem well (basically happy to perform and not trapped) but also erratic and loopy (to show why she needed the conservatorship). Thus, the story about her burning down her gym with a candle or whatever. I haven't watched any of it myself.

Nothing Britney has posted so far is any worse than what Kanye posts. Let her be eccentric if she wants. Let her blow her money on dubious shit if she wants to. The girl has earned that right. It’s her money.

She made a video saying that she did it and then TMZ reported that it didn't happen. It certainly looked all her.

What I don't get is she said she can't do this and can't do that. She can't go to the beach and such but she has posted and we have seen pictures of her on the beach or in Hawaii. I can't say I don't believe anything she says but I do take it all with a big whole grain of salt. I tend to not believe her more than I believe her.

I also wonder about things like "I can't have coffee".  I know people who can't have coffee and it's not because someone is controlling what they drink. It's because a doctor has told them that they can't have coffee because it's bad for their health or can't with their medication. I wonder if that is the case here.

If they only care about her for the money than they don’t give a shit about her as a person. Kanye has a lot of people in his circle who have been around before the Kardashians.

Her posts now are openly embracing #freeBritney. The idea that the people who are controlling her would make those posts makes no sense to me.

Agree. It's her life and her money. I don't think she'll ever go broke, but I'm honestly surprised she doesn't have more of it if it's been tightly controlled for so long. Was she really that bad a spender? Britney is well-known to snack on Cheetos, eat McDonald's food, and shop at Walmart. She's never struck me as someone who spent crazy money.

Of course, that is under the control of the conservatorship and she spends more money supporting the conservatorship than she does on herself. 

Just getting rid of the conservatorship will get her a lot of money she's losing now

Not anymore he doesn't. It makes you wonder when someone like Kanye is still walking around free ( and he was also held on a 5150 ) while Britney is under a conservatorship.

I'm not into sports but am fascinated by Olympics-related chaos/nonsense. This was unexpected, though: Cornelius resigns from Tokyo Olympics gig after history of school bullying resurfaces

Quote

Japanese musician Cornelius—real name Keigo Oyamada—resigned from the creative team for the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics after interviews from the mid-1990s resurfaced in which the composer proudly admits to brutally bullying classmates with disabilities for years. This comes days before the opening ceremony of the contentious Olympic Games. Many people questioned Oyamada’s role of overseeing the music for the Olympics and Paralympics.

The abuse he inflicted on his classmates is truly horrific.

Why was he not arrested?!?  That went beyond bullying to assault, and his apology is worthless.  “Bully” is too nice a word for what he did.

Yea I read that article and at first after reading the headline about bullying I was expecting like wedgies and locking people in their lockers. This was physical/sexual assault. Calling it bullying is stupid.

Plus if it is the Tokyo Olympics Opening Ceremonies we are talking about, why not just get Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of Super Mario brothers and Legend of Zelda to produce the damn thing?

There's enough troubles behind the Olympics to write a small book about them.

Most notably the fact that there's barely any infrastructure outside of major cities needed to host the Olympics - which means they cannot possibly choose different cities each year as they have been doing since the modern games inception.

For her husband's birthday, Dolly Parton re-created her Playboy cover from 1978.
 

Quote

 

“Remember, some time back, I said I was going to pose in Playboy magazine when I was 75? Well, I’m 75, and they don’t have a magazine anymore,” Parton quipped. “But my husband always loved the original cover of Playboy, so I was trying to think of something to do to make him happy.”

“He still thinks I’m a hot chick after 57 years,” she added, “and I’m not going to try and talk him out of that.”

My family went a couple weeks ago.   Had a great time but they are suffering from a severe employee shortage and as a result, many of the food venues had reduced hours or were closed altogether.  I don't know that it impacted the shows, but I felt that a couple of the rides were down randomly and I wondered if it wasn't personnel related instead of maintenance.   

The cinnamon bread and the fireworks/drone show both live up to the hype.

Robin Williams' son, Zak, says his father's misdiagnosis frustrated his own father

Fucking sad. And I didn't know his son, Zak, struggled with mental issues after Williams' suicide...it makes it all the more tragic.

Of course the sad irony is that I have to wonder if the rest of the family might have become so focused on the older Mr. Williams's downward spiral that the younger one's angst might not have been addressed or even noticed. Please understand that I am NOT blaming any member of the Williams family for what happened with the younger Mr. Williams but it's not uncommon for families who   witness  major catastrophes from one family member to not even think that others within could also have their own anguish.

“I don’t want you here, in the room or in my country. ... Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out. Get the wogs out. Get the coons out. Keep Britain white. I used to be into dope, now I’m into racism. It’s much heavier, man. Fucking wogs, man. Fucking Saudis taking over London. Bastard wogs. Britain is becoming overcrowded and Enoch will stop it and send them all back. The black wogs and coons and Arabs and fucking Jamaicans and fucking… don’t belong here, we don’t want them here. This is England, this is a white country, we don’t want any black wogs and coons living here. We need to make clear to them they are not welcome. England is for white people, man. We are a white country. I don’t want fucking wogs living next to me with their standards. This is Great Britain, a white country. What is happening to us, for fuck’s sake?”

Britney Spears regains the right to drive herself...and is promptly photographed driving and using her cell phone at the same time. Which is of course, illegal, and also comes one day after her boyfriend got into a car accident.

My car is not even close to costing $155,000, & when I drive I take calls through my radio. I'm sure Britney's car must be able to do the same. Also, is she stupid????? Does she think her father isn't keeping a list of everything she fucks up to prove she still needs to be under a conservatorship?

Whether she needs to be under a conservatorship and her father being her conservator are two separate issues. Using a cell phone while driving isn’t evidence that she needs to be under a conservatorship.

Agreed. What she did was stupid and illegal, but if it was grounds for being under a conservatorship, I assume a fair percentage of Americans would be at the mercy of one.

At least as early as 1976, when the racist quotes are from; nothing new, but every time it's repeated, it shocks more of the audience who only knows him as a guitar god and is reading/hearing it for the first time.

He doubled down for decades, and then in recent years blamed his "semi-racist" comments on substance abuse, pulling out the old "I have Black friends, dated Black women, and championed Black music" defense (ridiculous on its own, but also whitewashing his appropriation of Black music) yet still writing the whole thing off as funny. 

Clapton has been a known asshole for a long time; this Covid-specific nutbaggery was first revealed last year, but the overall attitude is well established.

No, but one of her complaints was that she was too controlled. Now the first thing she has done is give him something to show why she was controlled, because the first thing the idiot did was break the law. I mean seriously, what the hell was she thinking???? This was such a dumb ass move. How can she not understand that she has to be careful about what she does?

But a thirty-something-year old woman shouldn't have her life controlled by her daddy and his handpicked team just because she makes terrible choices. That's not how adulthood works. Lots of people who have terrible judgment and do really stupid shit are not controlled by conservatorships. 

I have no clue what her mental health status is. I think even if she doesn't have any diagnosable condition, she probably has a really skewed notion of what is normal, both from a dysfunctional family dynamic and from being famous way too early, and probably has really questionable judgment on many things. (I suspect it's probably a vicious cycle of not being allowed to make decisions probably leads to making bad decisions when she does get to make them because part of maturing as a person is making mistakes and learning from them, and when someone else makes all your decisions for you, you don't learn and you just want to rebel when you do get a say.) But that's not an excuse for her not to be an independent adult.

She should have the freedom to make stupid decisions and suffer the consequences for those decisions like every other adult.

Exactly. This reminds me of the incident with driving with her baby on her lap. I looked at both and thought "Britney, no!!!" But people act like she's the first adult to make mistakes. With the the baby on her lap incident, she was a young new mom and doing what she grew up seeing as a country girl. I'm all for constructive criticism, especially regarding the safety of children, but the attacks on her were crazy. We are not born knowing how to do things, and we pick up bad habits from our parents/surroundings. Something that seems common sense for most people may not seem common sense to a person who grew up differently.

With this cell phone incident, correct me if I'm wrong, but I read Britney hasn't had the right to drive for 15 years. I think a lot of us would make mistakes driving if we went so long being denied that right and technology had changed as well. As mentioned above, regular folks do dumb things. We get stopped by police, get tickets, learn, and hopefully not repeat the mistakes. Luckily the world isn't watching our every move. Britney is going to mess up. The mess-ups don't mean she is a stupid person or that she shouldn't have the right to drive or her father should control everything. The best of us will do stupid things. I'd hate to be defined by my boneheaded moments. I'm a casual Britney fan and didn't follow everything as closely as the hardcore fans. I had no idea how badly she really was treated until recently. I regret not taking Chris Crocker seriously and feel I owe him an apology. He was right. Leave Britney alone.

Yeah I'm not even a fan, but I have been rather appalled by all the details that have emerged about her situation. If I went back in time and told 1990s preteen me that I'd be posting multiple comments defending Britney's right to make bad decisions in the year of our Lord 2021, 90s me would be so mystified.

I really hope that her being photographed on a cell phone while driving won’t determine anything in the conservatorship. Her accusations have her father controlling things he is legally not allowed to control and drugging her. If he is able to stay a conservator that photo shouldn’t play a role at all. 

It certainly shouldn’t be a factor in if the conservatorship ends or not. That should be based entirely on her mental competence and making bad decision isn’t enough to be considered legally incompetent. 

As for it being a dumb ass move it is from a safety standpoint but not really in terms of needing to not be photographed. The way that she is followed is absurd. She should have the expectation of privacy when driving on the road in a car with tinted windows.

No. She’s been photographed before driving. She’s also been photographed before on her cell phone while driving. I think the driving restriction started around the time she quit performing.

I don't think it's right that anyone in Britney's family gets a penny of her money.   From what she says, they're all living off of her, and that's wrong.     The family members should get off their butts and make their own money, but they never will unless their access to her money is stopped.       If she gets the conservatorship ended, or gets conservators that aren't related to her family, then she should cut all of them off, and never look back.    If she really retires from performing, then buy a nice place far from her family, and don't let them near her again.
