I wish I was a fly on the wall to watch how pu***fied is reacting to all of this Get him, Brit

Friendly reminder that Britney was stripped of her bodily autonomy for 13 years and the world has had a very strange sense of ownership over her body for like 26 years. She has already stated this is her way of taking her power back. We didn't free Britney to dictate how she should live her freedom. Plenty of celebrities pose nude and Britney has even done it in music videos - the double standards are really showing themselves.

To be fair, if a complete stranger started commenting on my relationship with my own mother, I would probably respond in the same way. It's completely inappropriate to be messaging her sons. We all need to remember that ever since the conservatorship was implemented (and even before, for that matter), Preston and his brother were used as pawns to keep Britney in line. As a direct result of this, they haven't always been able to have a proper relationship with their mother. They have paid a heavy price for what those complicit with the conservatorship did. Should they have filmed their mother disciplining them and took part in a televised interview about her? Absolutely not. But they're young and have had a certain narrative about Britney drilled into them for most of their lives. That's going to take a lot of undoing. And for all we know, Britney and her sons could be on good terms now anyway.

Eugh, they’re so stressed that they don’t have access to B and her $$$ anymore… all of these messages give me the creeps - Britney needs restraining orders against all of them, they will never give up

She’s completely right with everything she said. Good for her for speaking out. The picture she used is SENDING me, please never change, Britney!

That’s hilarious

Britney is the first one to jump on social media and talk about how people made her feel like nothing so when people who have read that approach her to tell her that she isn't nothing, I don't understand her anger. Maybe she finds it patronising, I don't know. While I can understand why she is so negative and angry at times, it's upsetting to see her that way. I hope she continues with therapy or whatever she needs to move past it.

This is so cool. Will definitely be going to see it at the cinema (it was the first film I ever saw at the cinema without an accompanying adult back in 2002). Now that we're finally getting a Crossroads soundtrack, they should release the original version of the Britney album before some tracks were scrapped to make way for Crossroads

I think it’s just a case of hating the unwanted attention i.e: negative press, unsolicited encounters

I’m talking about the passive-aggressive captions

This. They have been used as pawns for their entire lives for money and control over Britney and they're probably waking up to that fact, which can't be easy. It's probably going to take a lot for the three of them to build any sense of normalcy moving forward, but I hope they can.

I thought I would cry but I just ended up tripping over my words and stammering like an idiot. She was really nice, though. I'd been terrified of a bad M&G experience after hearing some other people's stories. Short but sweet.

It'd be cool for this to happen if it was completely on Britney's own terms and she was serious about rehearsals / the performances. I'd definitely go and see her. One thing I was wondering, though, is about insurance: it has been claimed many times over the years that one of the reasons for keeping the conservatorship in place was because no insurer would agree to cover her without it (I'm assuming after the Onyx cancellation, pre-existing condition in her knee and 2008 hospitalisations). Now she has the cancellation of Domination under her belt as well - do you guys think this would be an issue? I have no idea how any of it works.

It's a difficult one because I can imagine being in Britney's circle is difficult with everything that has gone on and continues to happen and for that reason I can understand the boys keeping their distance. When they were young, Britney was adamant that the boys would be guarded and live normal lives - "I will make it happen. Where there's a will, there's a way. You have to believe". Sadly that hasn't been the case, at least for the past five years or so. At the same time, surely they know that it would bring Britney some healing to re-establish a relationship. While the chaos that surrounds Britney's life isn't their responsibility to bear and they have every right to distance themselves from it, what they should never have done is gone to the media - ESPECIALLY if they believe Britney is as ill / struggling as much as they claim. All that was ever going to do was make things worse. By that logic, it would be easy to assume they've been coerced into a smear campaign or ploy to push Britney into biting back (which she did) to make the adults on Kevin / Jamie's side look better / justify the conservatorship to the public, which takes us into parental alienation territory. The bare minimum they should done would have been to say "Mom, we love you and are here for you but this is a bit much and we're stepping back until things calm down" and to support her in ways that were not detrimental to themselves. Maybe they did - at the end of the day, we won't know what has gone on but I don't believe in any capacity Britney would knowingly do anything to upset or harm her kids. That belief was reinforced to me when the supposedly terrible videos of Britney disciplining them were leaked by Kevin. If that was the worst they have, I have no doubts or concerns about Britney's ability as a parent. I saw nothing but a frustrated parent and two sarcastic kids chatting back - a completely normal scenario that all of us have experienced when growing up. Jayden himself confirmed his distancing himself from her wasn't because she did anything "bad". Just a sad, sad situation all around for Britney, SP and JJ.

It's upsetting to see her so angry and downtrodden on social media all of the time because I just want her to be happy but on the other hand, I can understand why she has ended up this way. Her life has had so much chaos and negativity for two decades or more and that's not even including the abuse she endured at the hands of the media / those involved in the conservatorship. I hope she uses this break from social media to hang out with her friends, relax, maybe go on a few vacations and find some peace. If she can mould the environment around her to a positive one with people who truly care about her as a person and leave the legal stuff to the people she has hired, hopefully her mindset will shift to a more positive one and she can get on with enjoying her life.
