1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,800 From the unexplained to the mundane, come join us on a journey to the fringe. 2 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:18,280 Hello and welcome to Journey to the Fringe, now with 13% more jazz apps. 3 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,960 We are your much more visually appealing podcast hosts, Taylor and Chelsea, and today we answer 4 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,440 the question, what the fuck is going on with Britney? 5 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:27,920 This is the long version. 6 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:29,480 I believe it will be two parts. 7 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:34,080 Chelsea is going to have a lot of fun with this because man, are there way more conspiracy 8 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,520 theories about Britney Spears than you'd expect? 9 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,160 There are so many. 10 00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:40,160 And so yeah, it's going to be two parts. 11 00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:41,160 We're breaking it up. 12 00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:43,520 I didn't want it to be this long, but it just has to. 13 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,400 And we're going to go on a ride. 14 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,800 Not like the kind of ride that we did with Serpo. 15 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:48,800 We're coming off Serpo. 16 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,400 This is a much different, crazier ride. 17 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,760 Granted in reality, for some of it at least. 18 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,160 I forgot for a sec what I was talking about. 19 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:57,160 Okay. 20 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,000 Yeah, this is a very real thing. 21 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,640 Let's say that Britney Spears definitely existed at some point in time. 22 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:06,640 Yes. 23 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:07,640 Okay. 24 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:08,640 So let's just talk about it. 25 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,120 Is that how we start with it? 26 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,200 Yeah, that is how we start with it. 27 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,920 I don't think we do conspiracy theories nearly enough. 28 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:21,000 They're like the asshole of the UFO community just not directed at a specific person. 29 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,800 It's like a fringy idea. 30 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,920 Some of them are pretty ridiculous. 31 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:25,920 And I'm just trying to think. 32 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,400 Do you remember the last conspiracy theory we did? 33 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,000 Have we done a conspiracy theory? 34 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,320 Well, I guess technically shrinkflation is a conspiracy theory. 35 00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:34,320 It's groups conspiring. 36 00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:35,320 Okay. 37 00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:36,800 It really depends on what you mean by that. 38 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,760 Because a conspiracy theory is only a theory if it's not confirmed. 39 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,960 If it is confirmed, it's a conspiracy theory. 40 00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:42,960 Shrinkflation is confirmed. 41 00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:43,960 Yeah. 42 00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:44,960 While lower. 43 00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:46,560 I don't know if that's a conspiracy theory. 44 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:47,560 It's a conspiracy theory. 45 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:48,560 People are hiding it. 46 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:49,560 Okay. 47 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:50,560 Okay. 48 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:51,560 We can follow it. 49 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:52,560 And in order to go ahead, definitely, we've done a bunch. 50 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:53,560 Yeah. 51 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:54,560 Okay. 52 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:55,560 Operation paperclip, a confirmed conspiracy. 53 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,080 So we've done a few, not nearly enough. 54 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,000 So maybe we'll have to start adding on there. 55 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,720 I'm quite intrigued by this one. 56 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,960 And I think it's something a lot of people may be intrigued about as well, because I've 57 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,280 been seeing this question pop up a lot more around social media lately. 58 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,360 And that is, like Taylor said, where is Britney Spears? 59 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,440 I know you may be thinking to yourself, Chelsea, what do you mean? 60 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:18,800 Where is Britney Spears? 61 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,920 Her Instagram is off the hook. 62 00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:21,920 Crazy. 63 00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:22,920 I follow her as well. 64 00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:23,920 I know this. 65 00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:26,080 I'm not going to give too much away right off the bat. 66 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,560 So let's just go down this rabbit hole together, shan't we? 67 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,600 Let me just start with, you need to know the story before I get to the conspiracy theory. 68 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,520 I'm saying conspiracy theory a lot. 69 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,640 We have to first set the stage for the conspiracy theory. 70 00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:42,280 So we're going to go through all of what Britney is about, what's getting us to the 71 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,720 point of the conspiracy theory before we get to the conspiracy theory. 72 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,160 And I'm going to make some of this as brief as possible. 73 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,960 Don't come at me if there's people that are here because they love Britney Spears. 74 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,080 I am doing this for the conspiracy theories. 75 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,040 In particular, I am not up on her life. 76 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:04,640 So I've researched this to the extent that I find adequate. 77 00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:06,720 With that introduction, let me get you. 78 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:11,320 You should always know the standard that we hold ourselves to on researching is good 79 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,320 enough. 80 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,200 Yes, it's true. 81 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,160 I'm just getting you to where you need to be. 82 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,320 I am not giving you the full autobiography of Britney Spears. 83 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:20,320 What I have is correct. 84 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,880 So if you haven't been living under a rock or in the woods, surely you would have heard 85 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,200 of Britney Spears. 86 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,880 And if you haven't, then surely you have at least heard of one of her songs. 87 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:29,880 Maybe one more time. 88 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:30,880 Oops, I did it again. 89 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,000 Possibly if you're under 25, you might not know who Britney Spears is. 90 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,520 I'm sure they would still know. 91 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,320 And those two songs that I gave you are specifically my age group. 92 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,800 She has other songs that you might know her for. 93 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:43,800 There's tons. 94 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,160 She's one of the biggest pop stars. 95 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,960 So Britney Spears is essentially a child star. 96 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,440 Since preschool, she's been performing, love performing. 97 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,240 She was in performing art schools, vocal lessons, beauty pageants. 98 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,080 She was going to talent agencies. 99 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,880 Eventually she's on Star Search, Mickey Mouse Club, blah, blah, blah. 100 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,760 Let's keep in mind this is not little Britney driving to different states to enter beauty 101 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:08,760 pageants. 102 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,760 It's her mom mostly driving her to different states, entering her into these pageants. 103 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,880 Renting condos in New York so that she can do all of this stuff. 104 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,760 And they're struggling financially. 105 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:25,720 They declare bankruptcy even, but that doesn't stop them from doing this for their daughter. 106 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,680 Eventually she gets connected with the right people and releases baby one more time when 107 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:35,200 she's 16 years old and immediately rockets to start them debuting at number one. 108 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:40,920 She's breaking records, releasing albums, buying a home, hosting music awards shows, 109 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,280 dating Justin Timberlake, playing the Super Bowl, that's singing in the halftime, not 110 00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:46,280 playing football. 111 00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:47,280 Not a player, right? 112 00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:48,280 Yeah, exactly. 113 00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:52,880 She put out a movie, signing deals with Pepsi, giving iconic performances. 114 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,560 I forgot that she was in that weird pretty bad-acted movie. 115 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:57,560 Oh yeah, the movie. 116 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:58,560 There's nothing like that. 117 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,240 You could do whatever the fuck she wanted. 118 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,240 She's Britney Spears. 119 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,040 The early 2000s were a good time to be Britney Spears. 120 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,160 It was, yeah. 121 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,160 Or related to her. 122 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,800 Do you remember when her sister got that deal and she was just awful? 123 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:10,800 Yep. 124 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,440 She got the show on Disney. 125 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,280 So yeah, she's giving iconic performances with the white snake. 126 00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:18,680 I'm pretty sure Pita was all over that. 127 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,280 She's kissing Madonna. 128 00:05:20,280 --> 00:05:22,680 Just wildly popular and successful. 129 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:27,160 And in 2002, Orbs named her the world's most powerful celebrity. 130 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,560 And she would have been like, I think she was still under 18 at that time, correct? 131 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:31,560 Very young. 132 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:32,600 I think she was, yes. 133 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:33,600 Very young. 134 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,480 She's 25 when she goes into the conservatorship. 135 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,040 So yeah, she's very young. 136 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,480 So she's just wildly successful. 137 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,360 It's making for fumes and other successful stuff. 138 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:49,000 And let me just add, given literally no tools to be able to deal with everything that comes 139 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,120 along with this huge stardom. 140 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:56,680 She's kind of one of the first people that all this mania starts happening around with 141 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:01,400 the paparazzi, just like Beatles level fans and stuff like that. 142 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:02,800 But all towards one person. 143 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:03,800 Yeah. 144 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:04,800 Yeah. 145 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,640 I think that gives you a brief, good enough, ringy idea of Britney Spears and what you 146 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,480 need to know up until this point. 147 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,080 So yeah, she's very successful. 148 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,720 I guess we see that with a lot of child stars, which I would consider her to be a certain 149 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,400 amount of mental health issues that come along with it. 150 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:26,800 You see what basically every child star out there that has had anything to say that we 151 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:27,800 care about. 152 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,680 She rose to a huge level of success. 153 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:30,680 Very young. 154 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,480 I can't imagine anyone being able to be prepared for that. 155 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:35,760 So let's continue. 156 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,240 I'm going to slow down a little coming up into this info. 157 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:46,080 January 2004, she marries her childhood friend, Jason Alexander in Las Vegas and they get 158 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,080 it annulled. 159 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,080 And then he gets a record deal. 160 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,080 What? 161 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,080 Does he? 162 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,080 Yeah. 163 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,080 K-Fed, isn't that who he is? 164 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,080 No, this is different. 165 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,440 So she was married first before him. 166 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:55,440 Yes. 167 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:56,920 So they're married Las Vegas. 168 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:02,480 It gets annulled 55 hours later stating, quote, she lacked understanding of her actions. 169 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,600 July 2004, this is the same year. 170 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:10,560 She gets engaged to Kevin Fenderline and they get married in September 2004. 171 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,720 So all on a very short timeline. 172 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,360 It's here we start to see some craziness happening. 173 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,520 I always empathize with her. 174 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,480 She's the biggest celebrity at the time. 175 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,440 She probably still is. 176 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:23,520 People still care. 177 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:28,800 And paparazzi make a career out of doing anything to get a photograph of her. 178 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:34,080 Hundreds of paparazzi would camp outside of her house waiting for her, chasing her in 179 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,080 her car. 180 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,400 It's dangerous for her the way they're trying to get a shot. 181 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:39,400 Ports of them. 182 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,800 I can't even imagine living a life with these people around me. 183 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,920 And I know some people say that's what they signed up to do with their stardom. 184 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,680 But I really don't feel like because you're a celebrity, it gives you the right to do 185 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,560 what these people do to make a living taking pictures of celebrities. 186 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,800 Anyway, controversy, so to say, starts happening in her life. 187 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:04,280 February 2005, she is banned from the Oscars along with Paris Hilton in a bid to prevent 188 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,720 the evening turning into a downmarket scrum. 189 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,480 This is also the same year she has her first child. 190 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:15,120 And you start hearing rumblings of child services checking in on the fender lines for things 191 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,320 like Brittany driving a car with the baby on her lap. 192 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:23,640 A lot of this is argued by her as being swarmed by the paparazzi and she was scared and trying 193 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,840 to get away from them and protect her baby. 194 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,080 Which sounds like a reasonable answer, actually. 195 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,080 Yeah. 196 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,400 And just to kind of prove the craziness around her, there's this really sad picture of her 197 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,560 like crying, holding her baby, like sitting down somewhere. 198 00:08:36,560 --> 00:08:41,400 And the context of the picture is she ducked into a restaurant to get away from all these 199 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:46,320 people swarming her, all the paparazzi swarming her, trying to get a picture with her kid. 200 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,040 And she sits in there and tells the owner, like, I'm just trying to get away from the 201 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,960 paparazzi and the owner ends up taking these pictures and selling them of her. 202 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,440 I can't even imagine being in that situation. 203 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,080 She just must feel so helpless in that. 204 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:06,800 Her next child's born in 2006 and then divorces filed later that year from K-Fed, finalized 205 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,360 in 2007, citing irreconcilable differences. 206 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,840 This is where it all sadly starts to crumble for Brittany. 207 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,080 It's a bad year, 2007. 208 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,360 She's getting divorced. 209 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:22,080 She has a death to someone very close to her and the family, her aunt that dies about 210 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,280 varying cancer. 211 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,320 She checks herself into a rehab facility for less than a day. 212 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:32,440 Upon her return, she makes her way over to K-Fed's house where she wants to see her kids 213 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,120 and he refuses. 214 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,920 So this is when she ends up shaving her head. 215 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,680 She's followed by the paparazzi. 216 00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:43,320 She shaves her head and the total meltdown attacks paparazzi's car with an umbrella. 217 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:44,320 And you know what? 218 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,520 I consider myself a mostly same person. 219 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,120 I don't actually blame her for these actions. 220 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:55,840 I can only imagine what she's feeling in that moment and to be trailed by hundreds of paparazzi 221 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,880 trying to get this picture, having a complete meltdown. 222 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:04,040 Brittany Spears said herself on a deleted YouTube video she put out after the conservators 223 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,800 ship that quote, literally the extent of my madness was playing Chase with paparazzi. 224 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:09,800 End quote. 225 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,520 In October, she loses custody of her sons. 226 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:19,840 This year, she also gives a horrible performance of Gimme More at the MTV Video Music Awards. 227 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,400 January 2008, Spears has time with her sons. 228 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,960 And when the time is up, she's so desperate to have any time with her sons, she refuses 229 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,680 to relinquish them back to Fenderline. 230 00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:37,360 There's a standoff with the police and their intervening and she was hospitalized, multiple 231 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,360 mental evaluations. 232 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:44,400 Weeks later, she is taken to a hospital in LA and the court declares her father, Richard 233 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:45,400 Doty. 234 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:46,400 Just kidding. 235 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:47,400 Jamie Spears. 236 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,640 No, they declare Richard Doty her dad. 237 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:56,120 Jamie Spears, her dad, to be head of this little thing called the conservatorship, whom 238 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,360 she is openly astraying from. 239 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,560 Her father, not the conservatorship. 240 00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:05,840 She actually eventually came out and said she did not want him to be put in charge. 241 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,640 She was afraid of him and actually petitioned the court, but the judge said, nah. 242 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,400 Jamie declares to Brittany at this point. 243 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:13,920 I am Brittany Spears now. 244 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,320 I call the shots. 245 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,320 Under the conservatorship, she has two guardians. 246 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:24,200 Her dad, who is conservator of her estate, Money and Person, and Andrew Wallett is also 247 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,520 a co-conservator of her estate. 248 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,440 Now, Taylor, do you know anything about a conservatorship? 249 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:34,440 I know vaguely about them because I did follow this when it happened a while back and basically 250 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:35,840 you have no controller of your life. 251 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,480 Okay, so you know it from Brittany Spears? 252 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:38,480 Yes. 253 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:39,480 Okay. 254 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:40,480 So a conservatorship. 255 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,120 They actually surprisingly happen a ton with child stars. 256 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,200 I believe Amanda Bines is actually under one too. 257 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:46,200 She is, yeah. 258 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,400 She is just insane. 259 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:52,360 I would consider her just from what I've seen of her, definitely more insane than Brittany 260 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:53,360 Spears. 261 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,080 Sorry if you're listening, Amanda Bines. 262 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,480 Yeah, I'm sorry if you're one of our listeners. 263 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,640 I've actually heard that it becomes more of an issue with child actors because they're 264 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:07,320 used to at a younger age pretending to be and getting praise for not being themselves. 265 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,080 So they get cognitive disassociation with their own personality. 266 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:11,320 I could see that. 267 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:12,960 But I don't know the science behind it. 268 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,160 I don't know if that's true or not, but it would make sense. 269 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,800 I mean, there's a lot of messed up things with child anything, not child anything, of 270 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,680 course, child stars. 271 00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:23,280 You see a lot of them messed up. 272 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,280 Look at the quarries. 273 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,400 Cory Goodby, one of them, of course. 274 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:31,040 Yes, the three quarries, of course. 275 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,840 They probably find that pretty offensive. 276 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:33,840 Yeah. 277 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,480 Two quarries, that is. 278 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,200 Okay, let's talk about what a conservatorship is. 279 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:43,800 A conservatorship, also known as a guardian ship in other states, it's known as a conservatorship 280 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:51,760 in California, a point someone to manage the financial and or personal affairs of a significantly 281 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:56,320 incapacitated person, which is usually someone elderly. 282 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,840 I used to draft them up their health care agreements in BC. 283 00:12:58,840 --> 00:12:59,840 Oh, really? 284 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:04,980 And yeah, if you can't take care of yourself, this person you can assign to like make decisions 285 00:13:04,980 --> 00:13:07,920 on your behalf and you give them direction for it. 286 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:13,760 It's costly and a time consuming legal process and an extreme option compared to something 287 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,360 like a power of attorney or special needs trust. 288 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:18,360 Right? 289 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:19,360 Yeah. 290 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:20,360 Okay. 291 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,600 Like I said, and Taylor was just saying, this is usually put into place for someone who's 292 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:29,480 elderly and say has dementia and can't pay their bills, can't go to the bathroom, can't 293 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:35,120 feed themselves, needs to make sure they go to the doctor, a truly incapacitating condition 294 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,360 that would not allow you to take care of yourself. 295 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,080 Yeah, it can be done for really young people as well, like correct if they're in a coma, 296 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,800 somebody who has severe schizophrenia, who when they have a mental relapse will not enter 297 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:50,400 themselves into a facility that can help them because they think that the doctors there 298 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,800 are aliens who will be performing autopsies on them or something like that or biopsies. 299 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:55,800 That's terrifying. 300 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,080 So yeah, no, so they would put that other person in charge when they have these relapses. 301 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,560 Okay, that makes sense. 302 00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:03,000 So it can happen definitely for younger people too. 303 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,800 But like in a extreme situation, as you pointed out exactly. 304 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:11,800 Like I said above, it is said that Britney Spears was put into the hospital. 305 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:16,720 She's put on something called the 5150, which is a psychiatric hold for mental evaluation. 306 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:21,760 However, the reason for the court's decision to award this conservatorship, while you can 307 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:28,560 get access to tons of there's documents, there's here say of why she came into this conservatorship. 308 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:35,600 There's no actual official diagnosis or not, which was the cause for them to say this is 309 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:40,360 why we need the conservatorship and as granted in Britney Spears is YouTube. 310 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:46,040 She put out talking about this after she was freely able to talk after the conservatorship. 311 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:50,480 She even said she wasn't sure why she was under it and she was very confused about the 312 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:51,760 whole situation. 313 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:57,160 She also said when she was first hospitalized by her parents, she was completely sober. 314 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,360 No drugs in her system, no alcohol, no nothing. 315 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,560 It was just pure abuse by her parents. 316 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:07,760 She said, I think the main thing I do remember when it all started was my dad's want for 317 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:08,760 control. 318 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,320 He loved controlling everything I did. 319 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,160 Now that's empty of her quote. 320 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:17,400 Now barring that diagnosis, I myself feel a little confused about the conservatorship 321 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,840 because there are tons of mentally ill people functioning in society. 322 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:26,560 I would say probably 99.9% not under conservatorships. 323 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,000 There are people spending money stupidly. 324 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,400 Again, not under conservatorships. 325 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:36,880 I do wonder what made the court rule to place her under this thing because she essentially 326 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,600 loses all of her freedoms. 327 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:44,600 Yeah, you would actually probably be surprised the rate of like child actors that end up 328 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,160 in this and child stars that end up in conservatorships. 329 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:52,120 I think and this is somewhat speculative on my end, very cynic, but it's to protect the 330 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,160 assets because they have a lot of money that other people make off them. 331 00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:01,680 Like say the music studio and people that own arenas, people that are in the music industry, 332 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,080 they want to continue to make money off of this person. 333 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,160 They don't want to have the liability out there of this person having control over their 334 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,160 life. 335 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:15,120 So they put somebody in a position to maintain a level of monotony in their life and not 336 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,260 allow them to do things that would lose potential value. 337 00:16:18,260 --> 00:16:21,160 You bring up a very, very good point. 338 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,920 Literally that puts it better than I have in this whole thing. 339 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,680 So I'm glad that you said that. 340 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:31,760 So the conservatorship was in charge of literally every aspect of her life, every, but I'm 341 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,440 going to go through a few things with the conservatorship, which her dad was in charge 342 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:41,680 of that included making business decisions, contracts, including albums, residencies, 343 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,320 that kind of stuff, investment. 344 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:50,400 She had no say over where her money was invested, giving detailed financial reports to the courts. 345 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:55,120 That included every single penny spent would have had to be detailed, including when she 346 00:16:55,120 --> 00:17:00,760 would take her sons out and like want to buy them a hot dog, go out for fast food, go to 347 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,080 a movie, every single cost had to be accounted for. 348 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:09,200 Also paying the maintenance of the conservatorship, which took up the largest portion of BS's 349 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,120 fortune during this time. 350 00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:15,120 Because you know, acting as a conservator, especially court appointed one, you've got 351 00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:16,120 to get paid. 352 00:17:16,120 --> 00:17:17,120 Yeah. 353 00:17:17,120 --> 00:17:20,080 So whether or not you're in it willingly, she's paying them. 354 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,080 Yep. 355 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,640 Because he's doing that duty this court appointed. 356 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:23,640 Yeah. 357 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:24,640 Exactly. 358 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:29,120 So during this time, this is taking up the largest portion of her money. 359 00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:32,160 And this is all at the conservators discretion. 360 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,020 And I don't know about you, but I feel like I would be a lot more liberal with someone 361 00:17:36,020 --> 00:17:37,920 else's money than I would with my own. 362 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,560 What do you want your salary to be for this thing that you're required to do by law? 363 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:42,560 You get to pick it. 364 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:43,560 Yes. 365 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,360 And you know exactly how much money I have. 366 00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:46,360 Yeah. 367 00:17:46,360 --> 00:17:53,720 Some of what his expenses were included a $16,000 per month salary plus $2,000 per month for 368 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:58,160 office space and then a percentage of any deal signed for BS. 369 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:03,160 And I have to tell you, Taylor, Brittany at this point only has a court appointed lawyer 370 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:09,520 representing her because she can't get a lawyer outside of him because he's in charge of conservatorship. 371 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:10,520 Exactly. 372 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:11,520 Exactly. 373 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:12,520 She doesn't have that choice. 374 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:13,960 So she has a point appointed lawyer. 375 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:19,440 Meanwhile, he's hiring like the best lawyers for himself that she is paying for. 376 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:20,440 Exactly. 377 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,480 She's paying the fees, which is just ridiculous. 378 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,880 She's basically paying the fees for the lawyers to fight against what she wants. 379 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:32,400 She did eventually petition to get further representation and her dad shot it down saying 380 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:33,760 it costs too much money. 381 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:39,560 So lots of financially driven things involved like Taylor pointed out the whole entire conservatorship 382 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:44,880 maintenance adds up to at least $1.1 million annually, right? 383 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,280 Or is that over the entire period? 384 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,560 I'm just trying to think his salary 16. 385 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:50,560 I don't know. 386 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,680 Well, I guess his salary is only just under $200,000 right around $200,000. 387 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,960 I'm taking it as a whole. 388 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,480 So I mean, no. 389 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,000 But $200,000, it goes on for longer than five years. 390 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,520 That way there will be a million and that would only be his salary. 391 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,080 There's other things involved in it. 392 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,080 It's 18 years. 393 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:07,080 Yeah. 394 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,080 So it's way more than a million. 395 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,080 Yeah. 396 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:10,080 Okay. 397 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:11,080 Way more than a million. 398 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,080 So thanks for bringing that to our attention. 399 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,080 Okay. 400 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,160 So she's under the literally my next brush. 401 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,800 She's under the conservatorship for 13 years. 402 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:21,600 And during most of this time she is operating as normal Britney Spears. 403 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,560 Nobody knows what's going on. 404 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,520 That I kind of just put on shows. 405 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:26,520 Yeah. 406 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,840 Nobody cares about the stuff I just talked about at this point. 407 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,320 Everyone's like, Oh my God, conservatorship, but she's acting so normal. 408 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,920 All the shady stuff is happening in secret and her career seemed to be operating as 409 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:37,920 normal to us. 410 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:38,920 Normie's. 411 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:43,120 Now let's talk about some of the things that her life looked like under the conservatorship. 412 00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:47,240 She cannot make personal or financial decisions without the oversight of the conservatorship 413 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:48,240 her father. 414 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,240 She can't vote. 415 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:50,240 She can't drive. 416 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,640 She wasn't allowed to see her friends or get married without approval. 417 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:53,640 Well, get married. 418 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:54,640 No, see your friends. 419 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:55,640 No, without approval. 420 00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:00,800 The conservatorship controls BS as a state, which is valued at about $60 million, which 421 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:05,640 actually blows my mind because weren't the dudes that went to the Titanic that like exploded 422 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:06,640 were billions. 423 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:07,640 Yeah. 424 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,400 And like Britney Spears doesn't even worth that amount of money. 425 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:10,400 Where do you get that money? 426 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:11,400 Generational wealth. 427 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:12,400 Yeah. 428 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:13,400 Yes. 429 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:18,240 By and the Bastards just did a two part episode on Stockton Rush, the guy who owned the company 430 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:19,240 for it. 431 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:20,240 Really? 432 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:21,240 It's a good listen. 433 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:22,240 It's a good listen. 434 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:23,240 Oh, I am totally on that. 435 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,520 I was just listening to the AI one that he put out. 436 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,920 Anyhow, where were the orcas from that one? 437 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,400 Nobody was there to see what the orcas were doing. 438 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:31,400 It's true. 439 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:32,400 It's true. 440 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:38,400 If you follow Britney at all, you may know that the control entailed over her even included 441 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:43,560 control over her body, such as the birth control she was or was not on. 442 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:49,120 Spears also said she was refused to participate in a Las Vegas residency because her therapist 443 00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:54,520 received a million phone calls that super Canadian a million phone calls about her behavior 444 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,400 in rehearsals and failure to take her medication. 445 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,240 Quote, all of this was false. 446 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,720 He immediately the next day put me on lithium out of nowhere. 447 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,400 He took me off my normal meds. 448 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,040 I've been on for five years. 449 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,960 Spears said adding that the drug was much stronger than what she was used to being on 450 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,200 and made her feel drunk. 451 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:15,480 She said I couldn't even have a conversation with my mom or dad really about anything. 452 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:20,000 She said adding that she had doctors and nurses at her home to monitor the medication and 453 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,640 her dad and force it down. 454 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,600 I feel about it too because she had to take lithium. 455 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:25,600 Yeah. 456 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,640 Obviously couldn't control any of her money, make any personal decisions, get her nails 457 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,560 done, change the color of her walls, order a pizza. 458 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,880 She has millions of dollars but couldn't make the smallest decisions. 459 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:41,160 She had her personal phone calls and text messages monitored, which is actually illegal. 460 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:46,800 She herself said she was under 24 hours surveillance in her house, even when getting dressed. 461 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:47,800 There's that. 462 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:52,920 But also under conservatorship, she released three albums, went on a world tour, appeared 463 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,520 as a judge on X Factor and had a Las Vegas residency. 464 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,040 So she looked completely put together for the outside world. 465 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:05,680 And might I point out that with all of the above, super successful and would have taken 466 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:11,000 a lot of discipline and hard work to uphold, not really something someone unable to take 467 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,360 care of themselves would be able to uphold. 468 00:22:13,360 --> 00:22:16,680 Somebody able to interact with society on a normal basis. 469 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:17,680 Yeah. 470 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,640 And might I say also continue to make a profit for more than a decade. 471 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:22,640 There's that. 472 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,000 Let's talk about the people surrounding Britney Spears at the time. 473 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,560 So there's Andrew Wallett, who was the co-Cohen conservator. 474 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,480 I was about to say conspirator, a conservator. 475 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,080 I mean, kind of. 476 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,080 Yeah. 477 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:40,500 He was a guardian since the inception of the conservatorship in 2008 to 2019, when he 478 00:22:40,500 --> 00:22:46,040 resigned a couple of months after he had petitioned for a raise to just about half a million dollars 479 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,000 a year, which he got weird that he resigned. 480 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,440 Pin on that thought right there. 481 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:56,440 So right there that tells me, yes, probably 1.1 million per year annually that they were 482 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,840 spending just based on that figure. 483 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,520 Yes, her dad's salary and office space, of course. 484 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:07,160 Also involved Britney's dad, Jamie, just to give you a little background on him and what 485 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,220 he's up to. 486 00:23:08,220 --> 00:23:12,960 He was present only intermittently during his daughter's rise to pop stardom. 487 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,320 He wasn't the one driving her around to all these places. 488 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:21,720 And in 2004, according to a court filing, Mr. Spears went to rehab for alcoholism. 489 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,880 Twice, his first wife had said he had a shitty upbringing. 490 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:30,840 And wife Lynn had filed for divorce and a restraining order, citing a fear that he would become 491 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:35,440 angry when he is served with these papers and harass or harm her, especially if he has 492 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,280 been drinking alcoholic beverages as he has done in the past. 493 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:44,320 She had recalled years of verbal abuse, abandonment and erratic behavior. 494 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,800 They did reconcile and then actually a divorce in 2002. 495 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,640 The mom said later that it was the best thing that ever happened to her family. 496 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,000 And Lynn's her mom, correct? 497 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,000 Yes. 498 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,480 She was stressed that she did not want her father in charge. 499 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:04,480 A lawyer she consulted at that time said that the judge overseeing the case, Riva Goetz, 500 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:09,600 deemed Ms. Spears incapable of hiring her own counsel and appointed Mr. Ingam, the court 501 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,560 appointed lawyer who represented her to this day. 502 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:17,440 And I'm actually not sure if he was still representing her right up to the end or how 503 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:22,880 long he was because some of this information is from outdated articles to get everything 504 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,040 put together here. 505 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:31,440 The estranged dynamic between the two grew even more complicated after Mr. Spears, J.S., 506 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:37,760 a recovering alcoholic who was faced with accusations of physical and verbal abuse, took the lead 507 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,280 in wrestling what he saw was his adult daughter's demons. 508 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,040 He was like, I'm here for this. 509 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:50,400 February 2008, according to court records, Judge Goetz deemed Mr. Spears a suitable and 510 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:55,600 qualified person and granted him broad control over his daughter's daily life and alongside 511 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,480 a co-conservator, her finances. 512 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:02,400 He has no credentials to basically be doing any of what he's doing other than being her 513 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:03,400 father. 514 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,480 So they are assuming he has her best interest at heart. 515 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:13,640 During this period, a former nanny and housekeeper for BS claimed that her dad engaged in verbal 516 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:18,040 abuse, tirades, inappropriate behavior, and alcoholic relapses. 517 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:23,200 According to a transcript, she asserted that she had been forced into a mental health facility 518 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:28,080 against her will on exaggerated grounds, which she viewed as punishment for standing up for 519 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,240 herself and making an objection during a rehearsal. 520 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:36,640 She also claimed she had been forced to perform well sick with 104 degree fever, calling it 521 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,760 one of the scariest moments of her life. 522 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:44,960 Ms. Spears court-appointed lawyer said she wanted to explore removing her father of conservators 523 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:50,400 citing his drinking among other objections and a shopping list of grievances. 524 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,640 Last year, again, I'm not sure what year this was. 525 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,760 So sorry, it's good enough. 526 00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:01,120 Told the judge that BS was afraid of her father who remains a steward of her nearly $60 million 527 00:26:01,120 --> 00:26:02,120 fortune. 528 00:26:02,120 --> 00:26:07,080 BS said her father was obsessed with her and wanted to control everything about her. 529 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,560 She could not make friends without his approval. 530 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:14,520 Even as she earned millions from a successful Las Vegas residency, she said she was limited 531 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,200 to a $2,000 weekly allowance. 532 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:21,960 She described how she was forced to work without access to her credit card, cash, phone, and 533 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:22,960 passport. 534 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,600 The only thing she said that is similar to this is sex trafficking. 535 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:31,920 Any mistakes resulted in very harsh consequences for BS adding, according to the report, the 536 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,600 conservatorship came with a lot of fear. 537 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:39,240 She also said she had weekly meetings that she was to attend that were used as bargaining 538 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,200 tips for her money and freeing. 539 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,560 She said, it's not okay to force me to do anything I don't want to do. 540 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,640 Honestly, I should be able to sue them for threatening me and saying if I don't go to 541 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,640 these meetings twice a week, we can't let you have your money, go on Maui on your vacations, 542 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:54,640 see your sons. 543 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,240 I don't want to do that and I haven't done anything to deserve this treatment. 544 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,440 So that's kind of what's going on with her and her dad. 545 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,800 Then there's the free Brittany movement. 546 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:08,360 And this is still kind of under the same category as her dad because we kind of talk about it 547 00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:09,360 here. 548 00:27:09,360 --> 00:27:13,440 The conservatorship actually came around shortly after the conservatorship in 2009. 549 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,280 I didn't know what was that long. 550 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:21,040 And it was started by a website called breatheheavy.com created by Jordan Miller, putting forth 551 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,560 the movement that Brittany Spears was being held against her will. 552 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:29,920 Jordan did receive a call from BS's dad threatening to take the website down. 553 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:35,360 BS's dad has said that the conservatorship was a smooth running machine that was doing 554 00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:40,560 exactly what it was intended, saving Brittany, but in the end, she had the control to end 555 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:45,880 it whenever she felt like BS famously stayed silent on the subject other than being perfectly 556 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:46,880 happy. 557 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,480 However, now that the conservatorship has ended, we have learned differently. 558 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:55,560 Brittany Spears expressed serious opposition to the conservatorship almost immediately. 559 00:27:55,560 --> 00:28:00,240 She articulated, she feels the conservatorship has become an impressive and controlling 560 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:01,480 tool against her. 561 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:07,000 A court investigator wrote in 2016, the system had too much control, too, too much. 562 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,000 She said she wanted the conservatorship terminated as soon as possible. 563 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,320 She is sick of being taken advantage of. 564 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:18,520 And she said she is the one working in earning her money, but everyone around her is on her 565 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:19,520 payroll. 566 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:24,720 She said she felt forced to perform against her will under the conservatorship and repeatedly 567 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:29,560 voiced her concerns that Jamie was the gatekeeper of the conservatorship, like we've said many, 568 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:30,560 many times. 569 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:37,280 Now, I know it seems like I'm kind of jumping around a lot, a bit, a lot in this, but there's 570 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:38,800 a method to my madness. 571 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:43,440 And this is all information you're going to need to know getting into what I'm going 572 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:44,440 to talk about now. 573 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:49,800 During the conservatorship, the public image of BS's life, a little sense of the turmoil 574 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,880 she was expressing privately. 575 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,800 At the time she was expressing this to the court. 576 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,080 It wasn't in an open court. 577 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,600 We didn't know this. 578 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,880 Something that she was expressing outwardly was very controlled. 579 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:02,880 Yeah. 580 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,080 Because it was on stages where she was getting paid to make the appearance. 581 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,080 Not only that. 582 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,000 So I'm going to start getting into the Instagram. 583 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,000 And Instagram feed presented her as approachable. 584 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,520 She made videos saying she's okay. 585 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,040 She's never been happier. 586 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,320 It doesn't look anything like what it looks like today, guys. 587 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,200 It was just like kind of fun. 588 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:28,560 Like she's training for her tours, for her residencies, kind of stuff like that. 589 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,720 So foreshadowing, perhaps. 590 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:31,720 I don't know. 591 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,240 We're bad at foreshadowing here. 592 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:34,760 We're really good at it. 593 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:39,520 February 2019, a new lucrative Las Vegas show was set to begin. 594 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,040 They're doing rehearsals. 595 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,400 They do like a public promotional thing with Brittany. 596 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,120 And in front of all these people, she stops and she leaves. 597 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,880 Like right when the event's getting started, she was set to make some sort of speech and 598 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,880 she leaves without saying a word. 599 00:29:53,880 --> 00:30:00,760 Then a month before opening January 4, 2019, BS announced an indefinite work hiatus, canceling 600 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,040 the residency. 601 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:07,240 She says the dad had almost died after suffering a ruptured colon, according to the statement, 602 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,640 which noted that the pair's very special relationship. 603 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:15,520 Three days after this, Brittany is spotted driving through an in and out drive-through 604 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,360 with her boyfriend at the time, Sam Asgari. 605 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,880 Do you remember that I said driving was a no-no? 606 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:21,800 Yes. 607 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:22,800 It was a rule. 608 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,600 I'm not sure what rule it was, but it was a rule. 609 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,160 I'm sure there were many rules we weren't aware of that she had to follow. 610 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,160 Sadly. 611 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,040 After this, BS is MIA for months. 612 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,040 Poof, gone. 613 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:38,040 Her Instagram is silent, where it was pretty regularly updated. 614 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,840 Her boyfriend's not posting anything of her. 615 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,760 Nobody's seeing her anywhere. 616 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:43,760 She's gone. 617 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:49,520 Shortly after, in March, kind of shortly after, I mean this is in January. 618 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,200 In March, Wallet resigns. 619 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,960 Wallet the co-conservator resigns. 620 00:30:54,960 --> 00:31:00,040 Repin the pin we put down earlier, because this is what he had to say about his resignation. 621 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:05,880 Quote, the conservatorship is engaged in numerous ongoing business activities requiring immediate 622 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:06,880 attention. 623 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:12,000 It is therefore in the best interest of the conservatee that the acceptance of Wallet's 624 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:17,680 resignation and the issuance of the amended letters of the conservatorship of the estate 625 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,040 occur immediately without delay. 626 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:26,360 Substantial detriment, irreparable harm, and immediate danger will result to the conservatee 627 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:32,320 and her estate if the relief request herein is not granted on an ex parte basis. 628 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:33,320 End quote. 629 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:34,320 What do you think of that? 630 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,040 That's a very weird thing to say. 631 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,120 Like something dangerous will happen if I stay in this role. 632 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,620 Basically is what he said. 633 00:31:40,620 --> 00:31:42,840 That sounds like he knows stuff for sure. 634 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:43,840 Yeah. 635 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:48,240 There are a lot of people whose ears kind of perk up at this time because she's gone. 636 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:49,560 Nobody knows where she is. 637 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:53,120 And I'm assuming as a co-conservator, he knows where she is. 638 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:58,120 So a lot of people's ears perk up and are like, something's not right. 639 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:03,360 Now, continuing on with the timeline happening here, prior to the conservatorship being over, 640 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:08,640 there was an anonymous voicemail left for a fan podcast called Britney's Gram by someone 641 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:13,240 claiming to be a paralegal with first hand involvement in the conservatorship. 642 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:17,480 The guy checks out, they fully vetted him that he is actually this person he says he 643 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:25,080 is and he was and he raised alarms about BS, physically and mental wellbeing and autonomy. 644 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,680 This started some questions being asked. 645 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,640 Her Instagram had been dark for months. 646 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,600 A huge contrast to what it had been previously. 647 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:37,560 And what the paralegal says on the voicemail is that Britney was in rehearsal for her biggest 648 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:43,280 residency had refused to take some sort of medication that she legally was required to 649 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:44,280 take. 650 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:49,120 And the dad says, either you take the medication or your show is off and I'm pulling my support. 651 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:53,240 Quick pause in that story because Britney Spears tells a slightly different story on 652 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,760 her little YouTube thing she put out after the conservatorship. 653 00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:01,040 And she said she refused to perform a specific dance move in rehearsals. 654 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,880 She said, I remember everything got really weird and quiet and all the directors and 655 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,680 producers went in the back room and just spoken. 656 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:08,680 That was it. 657 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,360 She said the next day I was told that I was being sent away to a facility and I was supposed 658 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:13,920 to stay on my Instagram. 659 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,440 The reason was because my dad was sick and I needed treatment. 660 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,640 Spears claimed that she called her father crying, but all he told her was to listen to 661 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:22,640 the doctors. 662 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,840 You don't have to go, but if you don't go, we're going to go to court and there will 663 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,720 be a big trial and you're going to lose. 664 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,840 I have more people on my side than you. 665 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,120 You don't have any lawyers. 666 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:32,320 So don't even think about it. 667 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,720 I'm kind of giving away where we're going with that. 668 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,720 I had to get her side of events out after that though. 669 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,160 Okay, back to the paralegal. 670 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:40,440 Obviously she didn't do it. 671 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:41,680 And so the show was pulled. 672 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,400 He said, blame it on my illness. 673 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:49,840 BS is still not following through BS is then seen driving a big no, no BS was in the mental 674 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,320 facility since January. 675 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:57,440 This voicemail was left in April and she was still at the mental health facility with no 676 00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:58,920 apparent end in sight. 677 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,920 She was forced to go April 3rd. 678 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:05,920 Britney's Instagram posts a little mean and in quotes, it says, we all need to take a 679 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,280 little me time with a happy face emoji. 680 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:16,040 Red flags immediately for anyone that likes Britney Spears because this is clearly not 681 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:17,360 Britney Spears. 682 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,040 She does not use the smiley face emoji. 683 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:21,040 She loves emoji. 684 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:22,040 Not that one. 685 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,040 Like she just put a picture of herself, doesn't she? 686 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,280 Like this is just as calm. 687 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,080 No, she does post a lot of means actually still. 688 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:29,080 Okay. 689 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,600 This is clearly not her posting here. 690 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:38,680 An hour after this post TMZ is reporting that Britney Spears checked herself into a mental 691 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,720 health facility the week before for a month. 692 00:34:41,720 --> 00:34:47,160 This means that TMZ was being fed information and was outright lying. 693 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:52,800 And her Instagram was obviously being uploaded on her behalf and was made to look as if she 694 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,080 wanted to go to this facility. 695 00:34:55,080 --> 00:35:01,200 It's around this time that mental health starts to become a big thing of people taking time 696 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,560 for mental health, focusing on mental health. 697 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:08,640 So I think it was kind of meant as a like, yeah, go Britney, like you check yourself into 698 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:12,760 that mental health if you need it so that people are supporting her instead of being 699 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,400 like, wait, what, what is she doing? 700 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaking of her time in this facility, Spears claimed that she was forced to give six files 701 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,440 of blood every week and work all day without break. 702 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:26,520 She also claimed that she didn't have a door on her room saying security guards and others 703 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:30,480 at the facility watched her change naked every day at the facility. 704 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,600 She wasn't allowed to go to her AA meetings and she missed having that support group. 705 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:38,240 A free Britney movement actually helped her to leave that facility. 706 00:35:38,240 --> 00:35:43,560 She says she feels let down by everyone closest to her because her fans were the ones fighting 707 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:48,640 for her to be free when any person close to her could have ended it immediately. 708 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaking on the trauma of the experience Spears says they literally killed me. 709 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,400 They threw me away. 710 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:55,400 That's what it felt like. 711 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:59,520 My family threw me away with all of this information coming to light. 712 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:03,760 Everyone starts asking the few people around her what's going on with Britney. 713 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:08,840 No one has anything to say for mom, her business manager, Lou Taylor, who's in the loop with 714 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,560 everyone, everyone close to her. 715 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:11,560 There weren't many. 716 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:16,040 And this wallet guy backs out at this time and saying like, I don't want to be involved 717 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:17,040 with this. 718 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:18,040 Yeah. 719 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,720 This is probably why he wanted out of it. 720 00:36:20,720 --> 00:36:23,760 He didn't want any liability that went along with it. 721 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:24,760 Probably. 722 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:25,760 I think I talk about it. 723 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:26,760 Let's wait and see. 724 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,160 The leaks continue from the paralegal. 725 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,680 He went on to say about wallet resigning. 726 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:35,360 The reason everything happened so fast is because he didn't want any stir of liability 727 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:36,760 with this whole fiasco. 728 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:41,000 I wouldn't say he's on Britney's side, but he was definitely uncomfortable with her being 729 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,120 forced into a mental institution. 730 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:44,680 It got too messy for him. 731 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:48,600 It was like, I've done all I can do with this and I'm not about to get disbarred. 732 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:49,600 Yeah. 733 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,240 So that was what the paralegal said. 734 00:36:51,240 --> 00:36:55,640 He went on to say that this was said in a meeting quote at the very least, this will 735 00:36:55,640 --> 00:37:00,720 help with ticket revenue when we were announced Vegas and quote, he went on to say that management 736 00:37:00,720 --> 00:37:04,560 has final say in what stays in the interviews and what stays out. 737 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,920 You should see the behavior of them whenever she is booked on something with a live audience. 738 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:13,800 They're freaked the fuck out because whatever leaves her mouth can't just be edited out. 739 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,960 Studies have spoken out about Britney Spears under the conservatorship. 740 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:23,480 Carson Daly for one tweeted quote, I was told my Britney Spears interview tomorrow on AMP 741 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:29,640 radio must be pre-recorded and submitted for approval by her management before it can 742 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,360 air F that never been restricted. 743 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,600 Even when I interviewed Michael Jackson, it wasn't anything like this. 744 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:36,880 It's really insane. 745 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:42,720 One person tweeted he was acting a professional to which daily replied quote, I'm unprofessional 746 00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:47,700 faking an entire interview just shocked her management won't let her do normal interview. 747 00:37:47,700 --> 00:37:52,320 She probably doesn't even know I've known and supported her since she was 15. 748 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:53,920 This has nothing to do with her. 749 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:58,560 Just her people Iggy is a Leah who I'm totally not familiar with and released a song with 750 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:03,800 Britney Spears and she says she signed a non disclosure and her father could and probably 751 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:04,860 would sue her. 752 00:38:04,860 --> 00:38:09,480 She said quote personally witnessed the same behavior Britney detailed in regards to her 753 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:10,480 father. 754 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:15,040 She says it human decency to at the very least remove a person Britney has identified as 755 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:16,640 abusive from her life. 756 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:17,840 This should be illegal. 757 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:22,320 During the time we work together in 2015 I personally witnessed the same behavior Britney 758 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:26,960 detailed in regards to her father last week and I just want to back her up until the world 759 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,960 she's not exaggerating or lying. 760 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:33,720 I saw her restricted from even the most bizarre and trivial things like how many sodas she 761 00:38:33,720 --> 00:38:34,800 was allowed to drink. 762 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,360 Why is that even necessary? 763 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:41,880 Her father conveniently waited until literally moments before our VMA performance when I 764 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:46,040 was backstage in the dressing room and he told me if I didn't sign the NDA he would 765 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:47,680 not allow me on stage. 766 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:48,680 That's a power trip. 767 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:53,160 The way he went on about getting me to sign a contract sounded similar to the tactics 768 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,680 Britney spoke about last week in regards to her Las Vegas show. 769 00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:01,520 Jamie Spears had a habit of making people sign documents while under duress it seems 770 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:05,160 and Britney Spears should not be forced to coexist with that man while she's made it 771 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,960 clear it is negatively impacting her mental health. 772 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:09,320 This is not right at all. 773 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,160 End quote from Iggy Azalea. 774 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:15,560 From those who don't know Iggy's contract signing comment was in regards to Britney saying 775 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:20,000 she was forced to sign a contract to go on tour immediately after leaving the stage. 776 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:24,240 In her testimony Britney Spears said he handed me a sheet of paper as I got off stage in 777 00:39:24,240 --> 00:39:26,640 Vegas and said I had to sign it. 778 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:30,440 It was very threatening and scary and with the conservatorship I couldn't even get my 779 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,520 own attorney so out of fear I went ahead and did the tour. 780 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:38,080 The paralegal goes on to say the conservatorship was supposed to end after her circus tour 781 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:39,480 in 2009. 782 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,680 It was go on tour show us that you're stable and well and this conservatorship will help 783 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,200 you gain custodial rights of your children. 784 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:52,280 If you see any footage of her on the fam Fetal tour I don't know what one that is I'm sorry. 785 00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:57,360 It's limited because she appears to be extremely sluggish and extremely medicated. 786 00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,360 Her and everyone's understanding was that Mr. Spears would petition the court to end 787 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,800 the conservatorship after the circus tour. 788 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:08,240 That didn't happen and from what I understand BS had another sort of mental break. 789 00:40:08,240 --> 00:40:14,560 Now this mental break to me would most likely be as a result of the conservatorship not 790 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,200 ending when it was supposed to be only a year. 791 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:21,640 Oh yeah if you hear that you're like about to be out of jail on this day and then on 792 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,520 that day they say sorry you actually have like a life prison. 793 00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:25,520 It's indefinite. 794 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:26,520 Yeah. 795 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,000 Again empathizing with her on that one. 796 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:33,200 I would have if I was presented with most of the stuff I've said in this episode I would 797 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,880 be having many a mental break. 798 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:41,160 So he then says that they vet every single person that comes into contact with Britney 799 00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:46,240 Sears and essentially the reason behind everything is money as you pointed out. 800 00:40:46,240 --> 00:40:48,000 She was alone essentially. 801 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,000 She had no one. 802 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,560 The people closest to her were taking advantage of her. 803 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:52,560 That's not only that. 804 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:56,040 Would she was talking about being removed from that like Vegas rehearsal. 805 00:40:56,040 --> 00:41:00,480 The threat was we won't let you do this and that would be her only chance to interact 806 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:04,880 with people who aren't just part of this conservatorship or be in prison basically. 807 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,800 So that was like taking away her yard time. 808 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:08,800 That's true. 809 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,120 Like she is in solitary confinement basically. 810 00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:12,120 It's ridiculous. 811 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:13,760 Oh it's really bad. 812 00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:19,720 So anyhow with this whole Las Vegas story that I just told you she's in a mental health 813 00:41:19,720 --> 00:41:23,200 facility for months and it was very secretive. 814 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:27,840 This is where they put out the Instagram that's clearly not Britney Spears. 815 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:31,960 She puts out an Instagram saying you know guys I'm okay. 816 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,240 I've never been happier blah blah blah. 817 00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:39,360 This is where everyone starts reading into the little details Britney Spears is posting 818 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:44,560 on her Instagram because everyone was thinking that the social media posts she was making 819 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:50,000 since the blackout were off and they ended up getting all of this confirmation that she 820 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:55,320 was lying saying she was happy that someone else was actually posting on her behalf because 821 00:41:55,320 --> 00:42:01,040 she was forcibly put into a mental institution and that is where we're leaving off for next 822 00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:02,040 week. 823 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:03,640 That was my natural ending point. 824 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,720 Wow that's a great spot to end it. 825 00:42:05,720 --> 00:42:08,520 Let's have a little bit of a cliffhanger here. 826 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,560 The end of the conservatorship and see what happens from here. 827 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:12,560 Yeah let's do it. 828 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:13,560 Let's see. 829 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:15,360 I have been Taylor
