Independent.co.UK - We wanted Britney to be ‘free’ – now let her be

We wanted a #FreeBritney who didn’t make us feel uncomfortable – one who behaved the way we wanted and expected. Well, that’s not really #FreeBritney at all now, is it?

Thank you Katie Edwards for this article.

So the people here on Exhale will call this journalist an enabler as well?

Good article.

Britney is weird but there are far crazier people all around and nobody justifies their trafficking. The media and the GP really are very hard on Brit.

Thank you for this article and I agree. We still want to see this perfect pop princess but that's not the case. We have to accept her as she is. I love her and I'll always do

Ugh finally.

if it was some random TikToker or influencer/ Trisha Paytas dancing with knives… I wonder what the reaction would be? Would we be demanding for them to be put in a cship?

I would add that after Britney was freed, many fans thought that she would once again become Britney the pop star. However, when she didn't follow that path, everything she did was criticized, from her teeth and hair to her body and clothes, and so on. I understand that her Instagram videos may seem weird and bizarre most of the time, but these are not enough proof to justify putting her back under a conservatorship, as some people keep suggesting. These videos only capture a few minutes of her 24-hour life. We only see what Britney wants us to see, and that's important to remember.

For me, Britney has nothing left to lose; she has already lost everything that was important to her. That's why she doesn't seem to care how people perceive her. Her freedom isn't harming anyone, but some people are still stuck in the old image of Britney, and I believe it's time to let go of that version of her because it's clear that she will never return to it

I find it interesting how this positive thread gets next to NO engagement but other negative threads get constant 5+ pages of engagement...

Because it is positive, if the journalist had stated the complete opposite, that she is 'crazy' and needs a conservatorship, you can bet it would have 20 pages of the same negative Karens.

I also find it funny that there have been multiple posts on various fan pages on social media of her out living life and looking great that never get a mention here, yet anything that can be minutely negative or where she isn't well made up/dressed is spun endlessly here. I'm really struggling to understand what's happened to Exhale over the last month or so. It's startling how quickly and prevalently darkness is taking root. 

It's also kinda funny that the more close to the book we are getting the more negative people pop up here.

I have seen comments on Twitter like this: 'We freed Britney so she can make music, and she ended up like this; she should go back to a conservatorship.' There is this entitlement from some fans who think that Britney owes them because they helped her 'free'. And because she is not behaving the way they want, they want her back in this control system so she can return to performing, even if it goes against her wishes. Honestly, I am scared of people who think like this.

Honestly that's their own fault for setting their unrealistic expectations that reality didn't match up with. It was clear to anyone with a modicum of common sense the moment Britney was free she would down tools for a very long time. I honestly expected her to retire.... which is essentially what's happened so its why I'm not too bothered that's she isn't out there doing albums and shows.

Omg I'm so glad you all agree and i'm not the only one seeing this!!   It's truly startling how much darkness has taken root here it's always been very critical and somewhat negative but it's gone to the next level these last couple of years... It's sad and so strange to see. It almost feels like a group of people are actively using a tactic of seeding doubt and spreading negativity within the fanbase. Using the biggest Britney Spears forum... I don't wanna say it's paid team con trolls or paid bots (this isn't twitter lol) but I want to if you get me lol
