........in my opinion, she needs and should have her own independent lawyer working for her who is not PAID by Brittney’s father. And, if she want’s to fire him/her/it she should be able to.

The court can monitor payments to the lawyer and the court can oversee Britney firing the lawyer. Too much CONTROL has been given to the father.

Agree, it's her life and if she wants to ruin it she should be free to do so, as long as she doesn't hurt any innocent parties. She won't make it long, another Michael Jackson or Ann Nicole Smith. We allow the mentally ill to harm themselves in our country. Personally I don't think that is compassionate, but it's the law.

Just checked and there are videos on You Tube of Spears in Las Vegas in 2020, 2 shows a day, 7 days a week. It pays to control someone famous.

Was it? I just checked online and all there was was that it was in her phone testimony as something she told the judge about her rehab program.

This is what she said (not YouTube)
"Over the two-week holiday, a lady came into my home for four hours a day, sat me down and did a psych test on me. It took forever. But I was I was told I had to, then after that I got off. When I was told I had to, then after I got a phone call from my dad, basically saying I'd failed the test or whatever, whatever. "I'm sorry, Britney, you have to listen to your doctors. They're planning to send you to a small home in Beverly Hills to do a small rehab program that we're going to make up for you. You're going to pay $60,000 a month for this." I cried on the phone for an hour and he loved every minute of it.

The control he had over someone as powerful as me, as he loved the control to hurt his own daughter 100,000%. He loved it. I packed my bags and went to that place. I worked seven days a week, no days off, which in California, the only similar thing to this is called sex trafficking. Making anyone work against their will, taking all their possessions away — credit card, cash, phone passport -- and placing them in a home where they work with the people who live with them. They all lived in the house with me, the nurses, the 24-7 security. "

It's too bad that more don't understand that control is profitable. Her father should be removed.

“I didn’t know I could petition the conservatorship to be ended,” Spears, 39, told the judge during a live feed of the hearing. “I’m sorry for my ignorance, but I honestly didn’t know that.” She added, “My attorney says I can’t — it’s not good, I can’t let the public know anything they did to me.”

"Her" attorney.
For his work with Spears, Ingham is paid $475 an hour — a special rate allowed by the court in cases that feature “unusual problems requiring extraordinary expertise.” In 2019, the last year in which full accounting was available, Ingham made about $373,000 for his work with Spears, bringing his total since 2008 to near $3 million. Spears is not known to have questioned Ingham’s fees.

Both things can be accomplished by the court.

You forget that the US is supposed to be a free country. You are free to be eccentric. You can spend all of your money and then live on the streets. You can have 5 different baby daddies. It happens all the time. Notice the only people who end up in conservatorships are multi millionaires.

If the court and her Dad are so worried why not just put $5-$6 million in trust for life? That way if Britt goes through the other $45 million she will always have the interest off the trust to live on.

The girl has bipolar like a million other Americans who are not under a conservatorship. She just needs to take the meds. She’s being preyed on.

Being able forced to perform on a stage doesn’t shout out to me that this is someone able to take care of herself. who is anything more than a performing monkey to the people who supposedly have her best interests in mind

Had to fix that

Demagoguery. This is not about birth control. It is about her judgment and capacity to take care of herself. A performance on stage is irrelevant to the ultimate question.
iDk any specifics about her case, I don’t follow celebrity much. But I have been involved in various ways with many people dealing with competency issues and guardianship/conservatorship.

When a child or potential child is involved, decisions become more consequential. Furthermore, courts are a sh*tty way of resolving these issues. Judges and lawyers generally have no expertise or competence in making these decisions, but there is no other mechanism. The only
alternative is to let go and hope nobody gets hurt too badly. That may satisfy civil libertarians, but at a great cost when it doesn’t end well.

If you have a position on this matter call your teacher and have her help you express it. 😆

Very well said and you're exactly right. Her Mother and Father are divorced and I find it very telling that although her Mom isn't in the tabloids talking about this situation, when her Father petitioned the court for an exorbitant amount of reimbursement (about $900,000), her Mother filed in court against him. This guy sounds very controlling and dishonest.

Yes, what better way to live off your kid than getting them declared incompetent and controlling their conservatorship.

Half the country has bipolar disorder. You take a pill everyday. If Brittany didn’t have $50 million Daddy wouldn’t care what she was doing with her life.

It’s really telling that they never got her the help she needed instead opting to control her and dope her out of her mind so they could keep milking the cash cow she provided.

If she has mental issues, then they are enslaving her and most likely making her condition worse by using her to make piles of cash..

It is just sick sick sick

Yes do you see my point?
The personage of a psychiatrist is able to negate her whole life.
Or yours or mine, as was done routinely to believers behind the iron curtain and still is today in Red China.

A psychiatrist is not a random person. An American is not (usually) a political operative in another country.
Yes once this got to the courts the testimony of experts is key. That’s reality.

I enjoy your comments thanks! Sure we are not Soviet Russia ....yet(!)

Sorry to prolong this thread which seems to have been bypassed by now, but I have been working 7-6 and though I get a minute here and there.

Dr. Timothy Benson, her psychiatrist, dropped dead of an aneurysm in Sept. 2019. The #FreeBritney people are suspicious, but I really cannot understand what they are getting at. So he was going to suddenly say she was OK and Jamie Spears bumped him off? That is ridiculous.

Jamie Spears had an ugly altercation with his grandson Preston in September 2019, he was cleared of wrongdoing, but Kevin Federline said “No more” were the kids to be with their grandfather, accusing him of “abusing” the kids. Everybody sees Jamie Spears differently now, especially Britney.

The conservator Britney wants is Jodi Montgomery, and if Britney is not freed at this time, it is my expectation that Montgomery will get the permanent position and Jamie Spears will be out. Montgomery and her husband are thought by Britney and others to genuinely care about her. Currently Bessemer Trust and Jamie Spears are co-coservators.

Her court-appointed attorney has changed his tune, he was saying in 2019 that she was “comatose” but now he disputes that she is “gravely disabled”. She may have other attorneys hired, I don’t have clear info on that only that her father says that lawyers she has hired have “self-serving interests.”

This is the first time in all these years she has spoken for herself. There was a 730 mental health report last year, nobody knows what that said, but you will be thinking that that report will rule the day, and you are probably right.
