This thread is gonna be very messy for what he says about the beginning of the cship 

Spoiler

But that second half tho

Watched this, this morning. 

The director of the documentary will also be on the show on Monday (it goes on iplayer over the weekend and airs on BBC on Tuesday evening). 

Any publicity is good publicity so hoping it gets people talking in the UK apart from Perez Flopton's cameo.

I was also quite disappointed with Lorraine hinting that Britney is happy with the c-ship. Even if Britney is happy being a conservatee is besides the point of whether or not she actually qualifies and should be in one.

As for Brian saying he thinks the c-ship was justified at the start - I’m wondering how qualified he is to decide or speak on that? He did at least highlight some valid points about how restricted she is

I'm kinda worried about it ngl! They've chosen to interview some questionable people

I think he has good intentions put it's clear he is not aware how conservatorships work and what they are for. Oh well let's hope the doc is good, the director seems like he is going to focus on the corruption so I'm hopeful.

these clips better be just that, CLIPS

I don't want my home country doing B dirty with this docu!

we were promised heads with this one, serve them up!

[Britneylandia]

I liked what he said tbh. Glad that people are speaking up against this.

[Switchy]

He handled that well. Fans wanted people to speak up and it's happening. These are great steps. Anyone advocating for what Britney wants is a good thing! 

[HIM]

I wish they would go hard like this 

 

“Britney at her lowest point was forcefully placed in a conservatorship when she even at that time was not qualified for one. She did not have dementia as they so claimed. Her lawyers, father and “some business manager” at the time are allegedly quoted calling Britney’s conservatorship a “hybrid business model.” Instead of placing a professional or a trusted party as her guardian, they place her estranged father as conservator who he himself has history of verbal and physical abuse like pulling guns on Britney’s fans and just recently assaulting one of Britney’s sons. 
 

Britney has shown she can cook, record albums, perform live, and travel the world yet she is not allowed to drive, be unsupervised, make phone calls, see friends and have control over her own money. She is in complete isolation. She needs to get out. This corruption has gone on for way too long. We have questions for Britney’s handlers and they need to be answered and Britney needs to be heard.”

Brian is just like us. He loves her and genuinely cares about her without wanting anything in return. He realised they made magic together (which they did he was a part of all the iconic choreography). 

He handled the interview very well. He made good, solid points too about her being disconnected with the world. Some people still trying to bull**** that she’s on Instagram and still in touch with people. It’s important for people to know how restricted and isolated she really is.

I really hope she does get her say in June and she tells everyone how she feels. It’s ridiculous that we’ve still not heard from this woman’s mouth and everyone has did the talking for her. I want her to go back to having simple things like going a drive alone to the shops when she chooses, hanging out with her friends. I pray she gets out of this.

[jokobish]

Aww this came off very genuine, he wants to speak for his friend. Love it

The name Lorraine belongs to only one lady of television

He's someone who knows her a hell of a lot better than her fans do. 

Those closest to her are allowed to hold this opinion, because they're the people who care about her the most and have her absolute best interests at heart.

Fans need to give them a break and let them speak.

Conservatorships don't have to be what Team CON has made it to be. They're the ones who have broken and twisted the laws to fit their nefarious agendas.

I know they covered her personal life AND career in this segment but it does worry me when anyone discusses her father controlling her career over the fact she has practically no civil liberties whatsoever. I feel like it removes focus from the true reason the movement exists. And anyway, if she was free she'd be able to run her career however she liked (contractual obligations aside) or retire, so that would come with the conservatorship ending anyway.
