New Piece from NY Times: "The fevered reaction to her memoir, even from her biggest fans, makes it clear that many people aren’t ready to accept that she has said what she wants to"


Recommended Posts

Is very simple, really. Leave her alone. If she wants attention then you as “fans” can give that to her or just choose to ignore it if you think the attention she is showing is “too obscure”, “too cringy”, “too chaotic”. There’s no need to tell her off as if she’s your “child”. And as predicted, since the start of her stardom it has always been the public eye, her “fans”, the so called “adults” of the US who are SO prude in almost everything, the media outlet that will tail every word about her said by so and so, the music industry, her labels, and her family. These are the main factors why she has much distrust on being a musician popstar again.

She contradicts herself so much it's unbelievable.

She is apparently done with Hollywood and being a celebrity,public figure etc.

 

Yet she continously seeks attention and gives everything on platter (including pictures of every inch of her body) to  world,gives amo to ppl to talk with her erratic behavior,handles around with shady people. It's like shebhas no self respect and has not learned anything.

 

Why cant she just go away and live normal life she desperately claims she wants.

TIL being on Instagram makes you part of Hollywood

The public is too obsessed with her. Just like in 2007 when they stalked her at gas stations, Walgreens, and Starbucks. She's not doing anything to deserve this treatment from the public. 

She is literally putting herself in this position with her behavior. And she knows what kind of reaction she is getting lbr. She is addicted to fame and chaos but at the same time she hates it. It's never ending love hate relationship

Must be terrible for you that she does what she wants without giving a f about what you or others think.

 

Stop throwing a temper tantrum and, just like your username suggests, easy there.

Some of you still not understanding the point. “let her go”

she doesn’t belong to anyone- especially the public. Let go of the image of what her brand was, let go of your expectations from her, let go of the standards you place on her. Allow her to be a human being. 
 

if that human being is no longer someone you admire or are interested in, that’s fine. But you don’t need to trash, belittle and resent her for it

Recuperarse  de una angustia formativa, ir al club, buscar un nuevo amor, formar una familia: lo que sea que estuviera haciendo Britney, declararon los tabloides, lo estaba haciendo mal. Tenía el corazón destrozado, o no lo estaba lo suficiente. Salía de fiesta demasiado y con la gente equivocada. Ella era románticamente imprudente. Ella tomó malas decisiones. Ella era una noviazilla. Se casó con el hombre equivocado. Aumentó demasiado de peso durante el embarazo. No perdió el peso del embarazo lo suficientemente rápido. Tuvo su segundo bebé demasiado pronto. Ella estaba actuando de manera errática. Ella era una mala madre. Estaba fuera de control. Necesitaba ayuda”.


¡Este! No sólo los tabloides: ¡todos! ¡Sus fans también desde 1998 hasta hoy! ¡De alguna manera, a cada paso que da, alguien viene a corregirla o criticarla! 

Oh Dios, qué harto estoy de toda esta narrativa victimista. Sí, fue víctima de la misoginia, pero no todo lo que le pasó y la reacción de la prensa fue culpa de la prensa, también fue culpa de ella. La mayoría de las cosas que hizo en 2004 y 2006-2007 fueron querer llamar la atención, además de sus comportamientos cuestionables que todos conocemos. No pueden esperar que la prensa no se vuelva loca con el matrimonio de 2004 with jason alexander y el hecho de tener una novia embarazada. Por favor, ella era una mujer adulta cuando hizo todo eso.

Maybe some folks need a reminder

But this year also suggested that she might not be the one who needed redeeming.

Ms. Spears has almost always been entirely a media creation, and too many of us watching her came to believe the media when it told us that we had a right, as consumers, to get into her business and make ourselves comfortable there. The fevered reaction to her memoir, even from her biggest fans, makes it clear that many people aren’t ready to accept that she has said what she wants to, is grateful for the support of her fans, has plenty of healing ahead of her, and might just want to be weird on Instagram while she does so. The ongoing refusal to let Ms. Spears have the last word — to continue to undermine her, second-guess her, disregard her boundaries, treat her as an unreliable narrator — is a thread that runs through her entire career.

It’s never been just about Britney. It’s about the public and the media and the cultural expectations of how young women should act, how much power they can be trusted with, whether they deserve to be heard and whether they can be believed. And if her over-examined life so far has taught us anything, it’s that well-meaning concern becomes real-life cruelty in irresponsible hands.
