Jamie Lynn talks about mental health: "If you deal with mental illness or care for someone dealing with mental illness, then you know how important it is to respect the situation with privacy for the person"

What Jamie Lynn is saying... it's the piece of the puzzle that is a looming cloud over the #FreeBritney movement: the lack of transparency/communication. 

Britney nor her family / team don't technically owe anyone an explanation, but at the same time the silence she's asking for is what's causing the storm in the first place. It's impossible at this point (in my opinion) to move forward with silence. It's not working and it hasn't for a long time. 

I also understand their side of things: that it's no one else's business. However, there are literally millions of people who are invested in Britney and this situation. Therefore, silence is not the answer. No one at this point, especially the emotionally charged supporters of the #FreeBritney movement, will be silent. 

There must be some type of compromise or action to move the needle, otherwise we'll just keep going round and round and round and round. Like I mentioned in my note the other day, that to me looks like hiring a life coach for Britney. Also, I'd really love to see a note from Britney regarding what's going on. Something with depth and vulnerability (versus ~nothing to see here, everything's fine I need your silence~).  

I do give JL props for touching on the subject though. I know she's going to receive a lot of hate for that which I don't think is fair, but that's just how the Internet works unfortunately. 

Do you actually believe that for as long as Britney is under their control that she would be allowed to genuinely express herself to the public though? 

Regardless of Britney’s mental health she has been unlawfully threatened, hospitalized, drugged, and exponentially exploited. A case like this calls for an in-depth formal investigation performed by unbiased parties. I think that’s what would help to silence the matter and move on to the next step.

She's saying people that suffer from mental illness need privacy (totally agree) and the people that are "protecting them" aka taking their human rights need that same level of privacy too (Umm noo). If you want to take someone's personal and financial freedoms away, you need to be held the highest possible level of scrutiny. The people who are taking someone's freedoms should have a constant burden of proof to justify the need for the immense legal power they possess over another human life, whether it's Britney Spears or an old senile broke grandpa in Oklahoma. 

This.  I have siblings with mental health issues including Bipolar Disorder. They are not under a conservatorship and lead fairly normal lives with ongoing outpatient treatment. The amount of suffocation that Britney has endured is a direct result of her money making ability. Period. If she was really so sick, she would not have been allowed to work, but that was never the real reason for the conservatorship.  It was always about making money.  Shame on all the enablers including Jamie Lynne and her family.  I’m glad you got to have all your pretty pennies to buy your worthless junk, but set her free. She’s earned that much.

 

p.s.  Lou is sloppy.  She using JL’s account in tandem with her own to try and legitimize her involvement.  It’s getting obvious and disturbing

Called it. Britney is like 75% most likely bipolar and fame has probably drastically enhanced it.

I think people who said this conservatorship is bad really need to see how bad a manic episode can get. People with this disorder will sleep with strangers, spend all their money, put their lives and other lives in danger. I've mentioned it before. 

Look at her past behaviors and compare them to the disease. Top that with alcohol and *****, fame and fortune and it's a recipe for disaster. 

I see everyone talking about how crazy Kanye is, do you want them to be saying that about your girl Brit. And one last thing, bipolar disorder typically have a real high and then a super bad low or depression that usually follows. Probably why she was crying a lot on stage at the end.

so if she is so heavily damaged the best way to cure her is to bring her on stage, half naked, for a world tour? everyone know she is scared so much to take an airplane

She can't be so damaged, if she is able to be an international popstar

[Oprah Winfrey.]

Having bipolar disorder does not mean you can’t live a stable life and need to be under a conservatorship!!! And I don’t think Britney is bipolar. I think she has been over controlled and overworked and over criticized since she was a little girl!!!!

[Lookin4trouble08]

Although she isn’t wrong, it doesn’t mean she needs a conservatorship. There are MULTIPLE levels of bipolar. Few of which require someone to be under the current restraints Britney is. I not only have a brother with BP disorder but my grandfather did as well and I have a degree in psychology and criminal justice. I have a conservatorship over my brothers FINANCE because he is bad with money. But even though is BP is pretty severe (enough that he’s on disability via the state) he has a part time job and lives on his own 1/4 a mile from me. And he has 2 kids that he raises (with my help). I do not think Britney is even CLOSE to being as bad as they make her seem. She’s coherent enough to drive a car and tour and make albums but not enough for basic human rights??

Yawl stupid, so with your argument posting a picture of herself in a bikini is abuse to. 

And the conservatorship will probably stay because when people are manic they dont listen so time is precious. 

Watch and learn

Jaime Lynns post is true. None of us know what is really going on. Most of ya'll fans are trolls. Regardless if they speak or dont speak you are quick to judge. Britney herself asked for privacy lets give it to her.  It kind of sucks that if she does have mental illness she has no choice but to share it with the world because her fans obligate her too. It should be her choice to share what she wants. I am all for #free britney but lets look at the fact that if she is free she will still have to prove to the world that she is ok. I honestly feel like she should go to Colorado buy that ranch. Have a baby with sam. Release singles collections and books to finish her contract and try to live a normal life. To be free in what ever she pleases. 

Where is this narrative coming from that fans are making her publish her mental health?! This movement has gone on for over a year and this has NEVER been about that. Ever! Its about the abuse of power and how she can't make any decisions for herself. She may very well have a mental illness and that is her business but if thats the case after 12 years of being in a conservatorship and she still isn't any better if not worse according to team b then wtf are they doing? They whole purpose of a conservatorship is to protect your conservatee. So it defeats the purpose with way. Some of yall just have it made up in yalls head that we are just crazy fans who want her to perform like its 2000. 

 

NO! Thats team B that is pushing her to keep performing we want her to be free to make that decision. Its so frustrating to have to keep explaining that if you dont get it just admit that stop spinning the narrative.

Tag Jamie Lynn, let's see if she will answer the thread (I didn't say anything disrespectful, as much as I wanted to, Jordan) 

Thank you for pointing out that its not about mental health at all. 

[monalisaney81]

I just don’t understand the connection between potentially being mentally ill & being a prisoner in your own home? Who says a mentally ill person can’t interact with others? Be with friends? Have deep conversations? If anything creating the close stability of friends & family around her will help her.

But isolating her from the world, and limiting her freedom of speech is NOT protecting her, its protecting them because they know if Britney speaks out against the abuse its over for them.

Jamie Lynn is right, Britney and her family needs privacy. If you really love Britney you must respect her choice to remain silent.

Are you kidding us? We have been waiting for improvement for 12 years. Nothing was done to help Britney in 12 years. Now we are fed up and will end it.

Educate yourself and learn how dangerous this could be. 

Is her life too controlled hell yeah..... do they need to pull back the reigns yes should she stay in one in case she does  have episodes.... In my opinion yes.

So put Demi and Mariah on a conservatorship.

GET IT, IT IS NOT ABOUT WHAT BRITNEY HAS, IS ABOUT: PROBATE CONSERVATORSHIP IS IS NOT MADE FOR THIS!!!

[marioh]

I said it and I'll say it again. Jamie Lynn is just a Lou Taylor's minion at this point. How disappointing for Britney to have such a sister.  Britney has had nothing but privacy regarding her conservatorship and mental state. We know nothing basically. She can't speak up even if she wanted to. How hard is it to understand for some people? She's being silenced every day. She used to be very explicit and intimate with her fans in the past when she wrote those letters and now we're supposed to believe that the only thing she wants to communicate with us about is that 'no make up is the way to go'? Gtfo with this bull****, and gtfo Jamie Lou. It's the people around Britney who are insane, not her.

I will start by saying I believe Britney needs to be freed from the conservatorship, I want to say I think JL needs to be left alone.
 

As someone who has an older sister that suffers from bipolar disorder, who seemed generally fine/normal before she had her second child. And then she spiraled. She had **** issues before pregnancy, so her starting after wasn’t a shock. However she just went off the deep end. She became someone we didn’t know. She left her boys to go party. She surrounded herself with had people. She cut the family out. She would come around and be devastated over missing the boys, but couldn’t get a grip on herself. We believed postpartum depression had a big influence on her behavior after her second. Family tried to get her into rehab, she went for two days and decided she didn’t need it. She was diagnosed only after being arrested and potentially facing federal charges. She refused medication. She hasn’t seen her youngest son since he was 6 months old. He’s 12 now. Her oldest is 14 and has had her in and out of his life. Never stable. It’s clearly caused issues for him. Her youngest and last child is 5 and I just adopted her because her dad was just some random dude my sister ****ed for *****, because that’s what being a poor person with mental and **** issues basically leads to.

Now in these 12 years my sister has never been able to stabilize. Because she won’t admit she has a problem. She’s literally slept outside in the streets homeless. My family has always wished there was something we could do to help her. From everything she’s done she now has a serious heart condition and she needs to take medication to help with that. She’s not doing that either.

If my family could have put her in something like a conservatorship honestly we probably would have. Her boys wouldn’t have suffered all they have because of her. And we would know she’s safe and healthy. I would definitely not keep my sister like that if she was able to stabilize. If she took medication and she was obviously gotten her handle on it. But she’s obviously needed someone to actually control her life so she can get it together. Because she can’t on her own. 

So I sympathize with the Spears family over this. They are probably just so terrified Britney will spiral again. And they don’t want to lose her. I believe they love her and she’s not just a cash cow to them. She’s their daughter and sister. I’m sure they want her to do well and be healthy. But they don’t want to watch her driving erratically at 4am on the news. They don’t want to see videos of her on TMZ crying on the curb alone. Hear about how someone came into her life and hides her dogs, phones, keys and ***** her. How her house is kept unlocked where any crazy person can come in and harm her. Now I don’t think Britney will spiral again like that, but I don’t know her. However it’s not up to the family to decide for her. They have to give her the tools to cope and handle her mental illness, her life on her own. And if she falls/fails they need to be there to guide her and help her back up. But not to micromanage her life like this.
Maybe Jamie feels guilt because he spent her childhood as an alcoholic. He wasn’t there for her. He wasn’t close to her. He couldn’t protect his baby girl and bad things happened to her. So now he feels like he must do everything in his power to stop bad things from ever happening again. My dad is similar, he had **** issues. He wasn’t there for my sister. Bad things happened. He does everything he can to help her still even though at this point it’s just enabling her. And my mom, who doesn’t know what she can do but is there if my sister ask. Who has decided my dad is best to be in charge of my sister. 

So instead of being angry with the spears family that likely are doing what they are doing with the belief that they are protecting the sister/daughter they love. Just try to be understanding. Lou and the rest you can be mad at. I’m sure they are the ones planting seeds of doubt and saying Britney would die without this help. 
 

I didn’t mean to make this so long. 

I appreciate your perspective on this. From my understanding though, the key with managing a Bipolar disorder is medication. For the most part it seems once the medication is dialed in, people who struggle with this disorder can lead a relatively normal life. Though it does seem like the medication can lose its efficacy after some time and may need to be changed or the dosage may need to be tweaked with, if stayed on top of it is something that is manageable. 

I don't think anyone who is calling for an end to the conservatorship is suggesting that she should just be set loose so that she can revert back to her old ways. She will still need a support system and will still need to prioritize her mental health. However, at this stage in her life with the progress she has made, she should not have the constraints equivalent to a 12 year old put on her life.

While I would like to believe that the Spears family/team have her absolute best interest in mind, too many of their actions over the past two decades tell me otherwise.

if Britney goes crazy it is because of guardianship and not the other way around
