  1. Britney’s parents should just give her her life back and try as hard as they can to be part of it that’s what parents do

  2. Her father is a disgraceful man, he
    suppose to protect and take care of his daughter regardless of bad or good relationship.

  3. BRITNEY LOST HER DAD, HER MOM, HER KIDS, HER BANK ACCOUNT, HER FREEDOM, HER RIGHT TO VOTE, HER RIGHT TO MARRY, HER RIGHT TO EAT FAST FOOD, AND HER FIRST LOVE TURNED OUT TO BE THE DEVIL. HERE IS THE WORST PART!!!!! BRITNEY SUPPORTS THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!! IS Britney supposed to be all right now?

    1. David Fuchs—-Why ? There are all kinds of kids , who have reached adulthood , who have guardians , since they can`t function on their own . The only difference with her is that she has some money from performing . Without that guardianship order , she wouldn`t have anything . Those around her would have robbed her blind . No doubt her boyfriend is encouraging her , so he can get his hands on her money .

  4. Did it look like Meghan McCain had a huge overreaction to this story? Almost looked to me like Meg was afraid it could happen to her. She let on that she’s a huge drama queen that needed to go to bed to rest because this got her so upset.
    If this did that to her what happens when it’s something serious?

  5. Not allowed to marry, have a child or even get her own lawyer. In USA? This is more oppressive than North Korea.
    Her father doesn’t want her to marry so he can keep full control.

    1. I agree with him about the not having another child and perhaps even not letting her marry again. Too many wolves and deadbeats out there – just like that louse of a husband Kevin Federlein. I wonder what he is going to do for a living when his two anchor babies with Britney turn 18. He’ll probably find a way to keep the child support payments coming in until the boys turn 21, though. He even has Britney supporting his new wife and his new kids with the new wife. What a deadbeat! Why didn’t papa Spears protect her from THAT during his conservatorship!

  6. Her testimony was heart breaking.
    Not trying to downplay what she and others have been through, but I imagine it’s similar to what it feels like to be a Democrat in a family full of Trump cultists.

  7. There was a movie about this which starred the bonde main character from Gone Girl. It was disturbing.

  8. Sadly, this is actually a story about discrimination against those with mental illnesses. There should have been a treatment plan and regular assessments/review. So sad that the father (who never was involved in her life until $$$$ became an option). She then was placed in a domestic violence situation with no one to protect her rights. Shameful

  9. It happens a lot… See how many elderly in assisted living facilities are stripped of their money. Most can’t even order a pizza.

  10. They make her take birth control she’s 40 years old can’t even have another baby screw them their cruel and unusual punishment!!!

  11. Joy your reporting is usually spot on. This report missed the mark. Her father gets paid $16,000 a month he wants 2k more for office space. Brittany was a mouseketeer so mom dad started her young now she’s refused working until this is settled she needs permission to have IUD taken out by the court. If she’s well it’s because it’s working leave her on if it’s not working leave her on she’s not competent. Brittany is in a very difficult situation. This is just the tip full circle it starts w her $ and ends with her $. I’m 🙏 for her.

  12. Luv your hair coloring , the hair style and your work attire makes you look awesome. POWER TO THE SISTER🤞🤞🤞🤞
