Breakdown planned?

[CharlieBlue8]

With the new "bio-pic" in the wings it has me wondering.  The GP are going to be talking negatively about her breakdown again, not that I think it will get many viewers.  But do you think ANY part of her breakdown was planned?  (I'll take mass hate for my taboo talk, as long as it gets the fanbase thinking.)

 

I think she was annoyed with the papz never letting her have a real private life but I think she did it on purpose.  It was another way to stir the pot.  She knew that.  Do I think eventually she got caught up in her grief?  Yeah but I think a part of her kept the fire burning.

Of course not.. who would plan to shave their head lose custody of their kids be admitted to the psych ward and be placed under a lifetime conservatorship as a repercussion of all those things....

[Hugo Anício]

What the **** are you smoking?

The breakdown wasn't planned, why would she risk the custody of her children?

[justkeepdoingit]

you're a POS for even considering that. 

[maquisl]

I think she was tired of the people around her, who only saw her as a money machine. And of course the paparazzies, she always said the only thing she wanted was a normal life for her kids. But I don't think she planned it. And sometimes she wasn't thinking clearly.

The only person planning, plotting, and scheming for her breakdown was Sam Lufti.

I see your point and I usually turn rude to people with this type of comments but you sound respectful, but no, I don't think she had the intention to be overexposed the way she was. Of course, she was conscious of what she did was gonna be on the tabloids but she is not the type of person that plans such drama stuff like Gaga or Assoncé which would sell their souls to devil for fame.

It started as a celebrity in trouble case but it just went out of control and proportions in such a horrible way that it turned into an upscaled  case of bullying of media vs. Britney 

[Kirito]

I mean it wasnt planned but they sure got some profit out of it 

[LostInAnImage]

Absolutely not. In hindsight, particularly when you have an understanding of how mental illness unfolds, you can clearly follow the trajectory of her life and see the breakdown was impending and inescapable (i.e., it would've occurred with or without K-Fed, or any other one particular environmental stressor people like to attribute it to). 

It nearly destroyed both her personal (e.g., custody of her children) and professional life. Subsequently, she continues to be significantly impacted in both domains to this day (e.g., conservatorship, residually tainted public image). This was not something she willingly brought upon herself in any form or fashion.

I had that in my mind too...like maybe she was hinting on Mona Lisa that she will be going trough some bad stuff..idk..it was probably the label's calling (if there is some truth in this) because they decided on almost everything in her career (cuz she was bringing the big cash and what not)...they probably thought that she is over and let her do what she want for her 5th album (Blackout) and that's why she was executive producer and why it is so experimental for its time

 

anyways I don't know why they would do that...she was already the most famous celeb out there...what money could they make more that way?..maybe they were trying to keep her still famous and burning during her break? idk..it doesn't make sense (unless the breakdown was a consequence (thrown from her label) about something that Britney did)

I have been waiting for another messy thread like this for like 5 minutes, it's been ages

Do you think she's a bit narcissistic? I've seen clips of the reality show she had and it felt like that 

[ChrisTheLoner]

To even think she could have faked such a huge and tragic thing is just horrible and idek why you thought making a thread like this was a good idea because it clearly ain't and you should be ashamed for thinking that her breakdown was planned.

[3Pney]

she was freaking famous, whole world was running around her at that time,  her perfomance skills were praised, people had respect her.
so why would she do it? to get hated by public? to be seen as a joke ? 
dont think so.
she didnt need anything to be on tabloids. she was famous and succesful.

so it was not planned. but her team made money out of her breakdown. 

[jordeezy river red]

She tainted her image on purpose (kissing Madge, being ******, not giving a **** in interviews) because she thought people would stop caring.  Well, people didn't stop caring and that is what pushed her over the top.

you obviously know nothing about her. no-thing.

britney is the exact ******* opposite of a narcissist. in fact, she doesn't even speak her mind a lot of times bc she's afraid to hurt people. that's the kind of person she is. shy, humble, to herself. you freaks need a history lesson asap.

[taystee]

No and the fact that you would even insinuate anything like this is ****** up.

[jordeezy river red]

Well..  I'm not taking up for the OP but I don't understand how some of you can just outright say she didn't try to mess up her image a bit.  Watch stages.  She was VERY unhappy and rebelled on purpose.  No, she didn't intend for it to propel to the point that it did but she also really thought her antics would turn people off and they would leave her alone/ignore her and move on to "other blonde pop girls".  yep, that's a quote.
