During Britney's Vegas residency she wrote letters to a young gay fan who was struggling with mental health issues every year

[Oxic]

Yesterday, Samantha Stark gave an interview in which she shared a new story provided by Felicia that didn't get the cut:

One time this 14-year-old boy named David came in—this was during her Vegas residency—he wrote Britney this letter that he was struggling because he was gay and having mental health issues. He had attempted suicide. He expressed his love for her in this message, that as a kid, he had a lunchbox with her on it. And none of the kids would eat with him, so he would pretend to eat with Britney. In this letter, he wrote that her message made him want to live.

Beautiful.

Felicia said that he gave her the letter and left. Britney read it and started crying and sent Felicia to get his address. Then Britney wrote him a letter back, and proceeded to write him every year. And she gave him tickets to come back. He said that he came back for the meet & greet, and said “If no one else ever says they’re proud of you, know that I’m proud of you.”

That’s sweet.

And this was in Vegas when she’d been under conservatorship. So it’s confusing to hear these cognisant, emotional stories about how she’s helping another person. And then she’s in this system designed for people who don’t know how to act in their own best interests. I think she’s made a really strong connection in a way that’s different from Gaga or Madonna. It’s a you got so judged. You’re so vulnerable. It’s more of a camaraderie.

She truly is a queen 

She’s too kind for this world 

[britneyluv]

Love this, she really is such a pure soul. I'm hoping the NYT doc really gains traction so people realize just how much of a genuinely sweet person Britney is and how unfairly she has been portrayed in the media 

[Midnight]

She is just the most amazing person

Britney has such a beautiful heart it’s no wonder why she has such a great reputation in the industry, and so many other women an artist respect her and like her when she meets them! Britney is nice and respectful and they all say she’s so sweet, not to mention Britney is not the type of person that goes around bragging about the donations that she does and the blessings that she gives to others she’s such a beautiful woman on the inside and out!

[FreeLou]

She’s such an amazing person. Let’s hope the universe rewards her soon. I doubt it and I even hate to check up on her at this point, but we can hope.

Omg, i love this woman so much!!!!

I love this quote from Samantha Stark stating how she became a fan. 

I mean, from the stories that I’ve heard from all these people that have known her, I love the idea that she was rebelling the entire time, and that part of the reason she rose to fame was because of this strength she was presenting. I love that she’s vulnerable all the time. I love that she’s one of the only people you hear about who doesn’t talk **** about other people. But, 100%, the biggest thing is the stories I heard about her relationship with her queer fans.

it doesnt surprise me. i do believe Britney is such a  caring and kind person. The only reason she acts guarded with fans in her meet and greets is because people have took advantage of her many times in the past and she doesnt trust people anymore

Omg I just finished reading the whole article

I could actually cry, I love how this woman wasn't a fan at first and discovered how much of an incredible person Britney is.

I loved everything she was saying in the article, she clearly believes Britney should be free!

Yeah, the whole article touches on many points that didn't show on the documentary. I wish there would've been some sort of commentary from the producer afterwards
