Rosie O'Donnell highly praises Britney and drags her parents in a new interview

I like what she said! She cares about Britney the person. 

[Frankie8]

I remember Rosie speaking out multiple times during 2007 that she wanted to help Britney. If I recall correctly, Rosie even posted some poems she wrote as another way to speak out about how people were treating Britney.  She even offered for Britney to stay with her.

This is sweet of her, thanks for posting!

Nice of Rosie But people need to stop talking about the mental illness and talk about the conservatorship again these people have not treated Britney nor has she been diagnosed to where people can actually say she has a mental illness nobody really knows for sure unless you’re Britney’s  doctor or psychiatrist or have access to her medical records!

I actually think the mental health aspect is just as important. No, we don’t know her diagnosis if any, but the reality is that there probably is one. And the point is.. so what?! If her mental health hasn’t kept her from doing her job all these years, then why does she need a conservatorship? If everyone with a mental illness needed a conservatorship then soooooo many people would have them! So why does Britney? It was a temporary thing that likely saved her life but why does she still need it? Likely money... 😡

I guess it's nice she expresses like that about Britney, however I'll always have mixed feelings towards her. That "motherly" interest she had on Britney back in the day, I think most of it was very inappropriate. The interviewer here says she remembers how "she joked" about her scolding her for her "revealing" outfits, particularly the time her nipples showed through the outfit, but that wasn't a joke, she was very serious about it in a very obsessive way. She wasn't any different than all those prudish people complaining about every single thing Britney did. It wasn't just a joke she had with Britney, she went as far as to comment on the matter of Britney's outfit while interviewing Mariah (who defended Britney btw). 

In a way she was reinforcing this idea that Britney had to dress up and behave like a 10 year old girl, because she had 10 year old fans, despite her already being a young adult, the idea that teenagers can't explore nor express their ***uality, especially if they're women.

I disagree it’s like that woman said at the rally when Raven was talking reckless about mental health people aren’t educating themselves on this C Ship. Mental health isn’t a ticket to a C ship people need to stop trying to be doctors and learn about the restraints Brit is under! 
 

These celebs are talking about mental health as if they’ve treated or diagnosed Britney it gives me creepy Dr. Drew tease! 
 

At this last rally is was pointed out people need to learn about C ships not trying to diagnose folks!

[icybaby]

She really points out inportant things:

1.Britney is not accessible. She lives like in a cacoon

2.Britney is capable of performing and making money but treated wrong

3.her father has his own issues still he is the 1 who is conservator.

She really said maternal and nice words about her.

FINALLY

Yay Rosie is back ❤️

I agree with what @torontofan said above. Like, I get where you're coming from, but to deny that there is mental health issues at this point isn't productive in any way, and to me it just comes across like people don't want to acknowledge it because it's this taboo, negative thing, and it's really not. It should be talked about openly and acknowledged and should absolutely NOT be justification to continue this ridiculous conservatorship. It's true, we don't know the details, but there's undoubtedly some mental health stuff going on there that she (and countless others) deal with.

[PickleSpears]

Makes me sad.

“It seems that [Jamie) got a lot of his own mental health issues he needs to tend to”

How can a mental issue be discussed if we have no idea what it is? Dementia was claimed in court docs and we know that was a lie! Using mental Healy as an excuse for a c ship is unacceptable!

Im not sure how anyone that doesn’t have access to Britney’s medial records or have treated her can try to pin point a mental illness! It’s irresponsible when we have zero confirmation as to what medically Britney is dealing with!

I know that I posted this story in another thread, but every time I see that image of Britney on Rosie's show in 1999, I can't help but think of the close encounter that I could have had with Britney. 

Here's the story in case you didn't see it before:

So the guests of Rosie's talk show stayed at Parker Meridian hotel. Back in 1999 when my Grandpa got remarried I was staying with my family at that hotel. That week, Britney was a guest on Rosie's show and staying at that hotel. Sadly, I never saw her. Oh, well. It's still a fun little story I like to tell people from time to time.

Nobody is discussing a specific diagnosed issue though, at least not in this case. Rosie even said she didn't specifically know what was up. Just because the topic of mental health is brought up, doesn't mean it's an excuse for her circumstances, in fact its quite the opposite. Rosie said she too deals with mental health issues - is she in a cship? Obviously not. Just merely bringing it up isn't necessarily using it to justify anything. Mental health doesn't need to be this hush hush thing that people should be ashamed of and I get the sense from a lot of Britney fans that they treat it as such (not necessarily you specifically, but in general).

[rower2222]

There is definitely mental issues there, but shes been though stuff no one but her and whoever else knows about. She will never be the old Britney you all are hoping for after this conservatorship. A lot of people here think the conservatorship is gonna make her like bam a better person but she wont you can tell something is wrong and she wont ever be the same Britney again sorry for those who think other wise. 

[mercenary]

I wouldn't mind Britney doing a tell-all interview with Rosie.... and not Oprah
