00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,320
From the unexplained to the mundane, come join us on a journey to the fringe.

2
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:18,440
Hello and welcome to Journey to the Fringe, now with different words in different orders.

3
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,960
Most people would say that they have a new episode, but it's more fun to say it this

4
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:22,960
way.

5
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:28,320
We are your word-friendly hosts, Taylor and Chelsea, and today we are following up from

6
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,720
last week's episode on what's going on with Britney Spears.

7
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:36,680
So where we left off, she had been freed from her conservatorship, correct Chelsea?

8
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,400
It was basically where we left off.

9
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:39,400
No?

10
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:40,400
We went a little further?

11
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:41,400
No, she wasn't free.

12
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:42,400
No, she wasn't free.

13
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,080
Where we left off, I think I'll talk about it.

14
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,080
Okay.

15
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,080
Well, otherwise you're going in blind.

16
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,720
There's a conservatorship involved, and I will get out that other part so that it's

17
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,960
just a conservatorship that she is still under.

18
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,000
I say right here.

19
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,760
So last week, we looked basically at the conservatorship itself that Britney Spears

20
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:00,760
was in.

21
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,760
A couple key points to bring forth with you into this episode.

22
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,160
You probably listened to that a week ago.

23
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,720
So first point, there is someone in charge of her conservatorship that she had expressed

24
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:16,640
that she did not want in charge multiple times and had shown extreme control over her, even

25
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,080
abuse over her corroborated by many other people.

26
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,200
That was her dad, Jamie Spears.

27
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,200
Time out for a second.

28
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,200
Taylor?

29
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,560
Is that an Instagram login?

30
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,200
I do not know.

31
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,080
Can you see if you can figure out the journey to the fringe login?

32
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,360
I sent you the link to her Instagram.

33
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,520
I'm pretty sure I could see it if I go there.

34
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,800
You just need the first couple of posts anyway.

35
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:40,800
Okay.

36
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:45,720
Second point, there are questions about whether or not a conservatorship was an extreme option

37
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,320
for her situation.

38
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:52,520
Eardley, secretively being checked into a mental health facility for months with no end in

39
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,920
sight until the free Brittany movement came about.

40
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:01,760
And TMZ releasing a story with a lie about how long she was in that mental health facility.

41
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,840
That's all very vague, but hopefully that refreshes your memory from the last episode

42
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,520
and we continue on from there.

43
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,240
So basically we learned a lot of troublesome things in that last episode.

44
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:16,680
We left off with posts being made on Brittany Spears' Instagram by someone else to kind

45
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,720
of set up that mental health state on her social media.

46
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,640
And it's now coming under a magnifying glass being her social media.

47
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:29,640
And her fans are now worrying about her safety and what's going on because posts are being

48
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:34,680
made on her behalf to make it seem like she just checked into this mental health facility

49
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,760
last week when she's been there for months with no end in sight.

50
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,440
Especially that we see someone else posting on her Instagram.

51
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:43,680
That's clearly not her.

52
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:49,360
Here's as good as places any to say that there's a lot of information on this out there.

53
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:54,200
If you want to go down a rabbit hole in order to get through this in a nice timely episode

54
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,840
for you, I had to pick and choose and summarize just like all of our episodes.

55
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:04,840
By all means, if you really want to go down this rabbit hole yourself, I did rely on some

56
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,320
Tik Tokers for this.

57
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,040
So there's one called it's Brittany Glitch.

58
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,040
Her handles Ali Nastin.

59
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,520
Then there's I Detective and not Brian Fallon.

60
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,320
So those are what I use going down the rabbit hole.

61
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:22,600
Feel free if you want to spend hours looking into this and seeing the actual videos, which

62
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,280
you're not going to see on a podcast.

63
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,440
Oh, check those ones out.

64
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:26,440
Highly recommend.

65
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,960
Now, what the mental health facility fans are concerned, Brittany put on a pretty good

66
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,800
face through many years of her conservatorship and kept pretty low key doing her biggest

67
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:36,800
residency.

68
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:37,880
She was on TV shows.

69
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,120
She looked amazing.

70
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,720
Her Instagram with normal for a while.

71
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,480
In 2021, she's doing like a Q&A on her Instagram.

72
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,400
And one of the questions she answers is, are you okay?

73
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,320
And her body language is totally off on this.

74
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,280
She's shifting back and forth totally anxious.

75
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,120
And she says in quotes, I'm totally fine.

76
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,560
I'm extremely happy.

77
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,920
I have a beautiful home, beautiful children.

78
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,080
I'm taking a break right now because I'm enjoying myself and I'm okay.

79
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,400
Body language totally off.

80
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,840
That was an end quote, not with the body language, ending with I'm okay.

81
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:16,320
She later confessed that she was lying about that and obviously forced to say this.

82
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,520
She said, quote, I've lied and told the whole world I'm okay and I'm happy.

83
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:21,680
I've been in denial.

84
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,280
I've been in shock and I'm traumatized.

85
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:25,280
End quote.

86
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:29,720
That admission combined with the post about her mental health stay led many fans to believe

87
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,920
that Spears have been sending secret messages to them all along, specifically through her

88
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,320
social media, which at the time were unsure if she's even controlling.

89
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:45,640
So a couple months later, she posts a video thanking her LGBTQ fans in the video, a concerned

90
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,800
fan comments, quote, if you need help, wear yellow in your next video.

91
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:50,800
End quote.

92
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:51,800
Do you remember hearing about this?

93
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:52,800
This was huge.

94
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:53,800
I do.

95
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:54,800
Yes.

96
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:55,800
It was.

97
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,800
If you're familiar at all with any Britney Spears conspiracies, it's probably this one.

98
00:04:58,800 --> 00:04:59,800
It's the yellow.

99
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:00,800
Yeah.

100
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:01,800
Yeah.

101
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,720
In the next TikTok video, sure as shit, Britney is wearing a yellow top and even mentions

102
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:11,440
the yellow top in her caption, which immediately blew up the internet.

103
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,440
What next?

104
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,360
Well, to be sure, her fans asked her to wear a blue shirt in her next video.

105
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,480
You know, test the theory, coincidence or no.

106
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:20,760
Next video, blue shirt.

107
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,760
Then there's another one where they say blink three times or something like that if you

108
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:25,760
need help.

109
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:26,960
Next video, three blinks.

110
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:33,560
Now people are looking at every single post she's making of Scrabble board.

111
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,000
She posts like a picture of a Scrabble board.

112
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,920
People are trying to decode what it is saying in this Scrabble board and she's making posts

113
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,960
such as a shot of herself wearing a sheer black lacy top alongside the caption, twisted

114
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:52,720
elegance, introducing all caps, red exclamation mark exclamation mark exclamation mark exclamation

115
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:53,720
mark.

116
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:58,160
Now you go and look at Britney's Instagram right now that I told you to take a look at

117
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:04,560
just to show you she definitely hides things in there for people to decode and people could

118
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:09,040
be like, well, this is just like how many people are commenting on her videos.

119
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,960
Like why would she go comb through and pick just one comment?

120
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,440
If you're being so controlled, I mean, I can see it from a couple different views like

121
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,640
one, of course, that's preposterous.

122
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:20,960
Who would ever do that?

123
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,680
But if you're so controlled as we have seen with Britney Spears being controlled through

124
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:31,840
her conservatorship and you're looking for anything to send a sign that you need help,

125
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:33,280
I don't put it past.

126
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:35,400
I can't completely knock it.

127
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:40,040
So if you go look at her Instagram, you'll see that her name and I'm bringing this up

128
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:45,520
now because of the quote that I just read, she says, twisted elegance, introducing red,

129
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,200
no red at all in the shot.

130
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,480
What's Britney Spears' name there at the top on her bio?

131
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:51,880
Maria River Red.

132
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:56,520
And then if you go through the fourth post, is that the red piano?

133
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:57,520
Yeah.

134
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:58,520
Can you read the caption?

135
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,240
It says, I've never played on red exclamation mark red all caps.

136
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,040
Yeah, go to the next one.

137
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,040
Remember Rose?

138
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,120
Three year old, never seen before photos of Rose.

139
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,120
Time flies.

140
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,120
Geez.

141
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,400
Do you see a hint of red or Rose or anything in that picture?

142
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:18,760
No, she's wearing a white top, necklace, no color, and it's background trees.

143
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:19,760
Yeah.

144
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,960
So she hides things like this in her Instagram all the time.

145
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,720
No context or anything with the red.

146
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,440
It's referring to something.

147
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,920
I just wanted to point that out because this is all on her Instagram now.

148
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,440
She's famous for deleting posts and stuff like that, reusing posts.

149
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,600
So I just wanted to point that out on there.

150
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,520
The one with remember Rose.

151
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:45,280
This is an old photo of her under her conservatorship, but I just wanted to point this out to you.

152
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:46,280
I'm not going to go in.

153
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,120
I don't know what red means anyhow.

154
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,640
Britney doesn't clarify what the red is at all.

155
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,440
She just keeps referring to it.

156
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:58,320
Like I said, she uploads this one of her in a sheer black lacy top alongside that caption,

157
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,080
with elegance introducing red.

158
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,080
She doesn't clarify.

159
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:05,680
Instead, she uploads a video of herself in the same outfit, captioning it, no lipstick,

160
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,680
blush, or foundation, because I was in a rush, but you get the idea.

161
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:10,680
Red.

162
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,160
So everyone's trying to scramble to find out what the red is meaning.

163
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,320
And she's not even wearing red in the video.

164
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,840
The only thing, there's nothing red in the one that I just showed to you.

165
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,060
She's changed her name to Maria River Red.

166
00:08:22,060 --> 00:08:24,320
There is red on the piano one.

167
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,040
Literally so many of her posts are cryptic like that.

168
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,000
And that's just what I'm trying to drive.

169
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,040
It's the cryptic point of these.

170
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,280
These are a few examples.

171
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:33,640
It goes on and on.

172
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,680
Fans are convinced Britney Spears is trying to reach out to her fans via social media

173
00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:43,280
to convey hidden messages in her cryptic posts, convinced that she's otherwise silenced.

174
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,280
And this is the only way she's able to communicate that she needs help.

175
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,520
Might I just say I'm going through a bit of her posts and there's some weird stuff in

176
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:52,520
here.

177
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:53,520
Oh, it's off the hook.

178
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:54,520
Yeah.

179
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,800
There's a book called Doctor and Ritual of High Magic, a new translation, and she wrote

180
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,400
something in another language as the caption on that.

181
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:03,400
Oh, right here.

182
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:04,400
Yeah.

183
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:05,400
Oh yeah.

184
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:10,800
This is not even resembling anything like what we saw her doing under the conservatorship.

185
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,720
And a lot of people will say this is because she's free.

186
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,360
She's trying to find herself.

187
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,240
She's trying to figure it out.

188
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:19,720
She's off her meds.

189
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,400
She's, you know, having mental problems.

190
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:29,240
And if we look at it in the way of she's not in control of her Instagram or she's trying

191
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:35,600
to send messages through this thing, if you look at it through a different filter, it

192
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,800
kind of changes the context in which you're taking in her Instagram.

193
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,560
So just something to think of.

194
00:09:41,560 --> 00:09:45,040
Because if you're looking at through Britney's Mentally Ill or something like that, you're

195
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,000
like, wow, this is off the hook crazy.

196
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,160
But if you're looking at it in a different way of someone else controlling it or she's

197
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,600
trying to send messages or something like that, you take it in a completely different

198
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:56,600
context.

199
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:57,800
Let's move on.

200
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,920
Another thing that kind of adds to this is she never openly came out and said, I hate

201
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:03,920
this.

202
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:04,920
I'm being threatened.

203
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:05,920
I need help.

204
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,800
She was coming out with videos that said, hey, I'm okay.

205
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,200
I'm happier than ever.

206
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,120
And we all know now that it was a lie.

207
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,120
That wasn't the case.

208
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:18,320
I mean, she very well could have come out and said that she has a huge platform, not

209
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,960
only on social media, but she could have gone on stage one night and said to hundreds of

210
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,480
people, I need help.

211
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:25,480
Somebody help me right now.

212
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:26,520
I'm in danger.

213
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:27,720
And she never did that.

214
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,160
So cut to 2021.

215
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,560
The free Britney movement actually accomplished something.

216
00:10:32,560 --> 00:10:34,640
And that was that the conservatorship is over.

217
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:40,200
This is a direct result of that mental health stay where somebody else posted on her behalf.

218
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,640
That's kind of what raised the red flags.

219
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,560
And the conservatorship's over.

220
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:45,560
Britney's free.

221
00:10:45,560 --> 00:10:51,200
So is it because the conservatorship is not actually really over?

222
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:56,920
And you can only find a little information about this if you specifically know what to

223
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:57,920
Google.

224
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,200
This was not really in the news.

225
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,920
If you Google Britney Spears conservatorship not really over, you get Britney Spears is

226
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:04,920
free.

227
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:11,640
What ended was the conservatorship over her person and Jamie Spears was taken out of the

228
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,800
person in charge of her conservatorship, whatever it's called.

229
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:15,800
Yeah.

230
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:22,200
So she still has a conservatorship over her estate and she's moved over from the conservatorship

231
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,280
of her person to a care plan.

232
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:29,760
And that's to help her kind of acclimatized no longer having someone control of her life,

233
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:34,000
which usually lasts about 12 months from what is out there.

234
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,400
But it's still ongoing.

235
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,240
She's still under a care plan.

236
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,040
There are some people who speak out about this.

237
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,160
It's really hard to find to see that she's still under a care plan.

238
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:50,920
And there are actually a lot of loopholes for her to jump through to have the rest of her

239
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:55,480
conservatorship stop to go through the courts and stuff like that.

240
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,800
Are the obstacles at least known or is that kind of private?

241
00:11:58,800 --> 00:11:59,800
It's private.

242
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:00,800
Yeah.

243
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,440
So everything that's going on right now is private.

244
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:08,240
Liz Day, who is a reporter for the New York Times, I believe.

245
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,640
I should have put that in, but that's a memory if memory serves me right.

246
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:17,120
She covers a little about this after Jamie Spears is removed as a conservatorship.

247
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,200
This is old.

248
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,600
So this isn't going to have all the up to date information, but it really gives you

249
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,120
an idea of what's going on.

250
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,840
So this is just some of the tweets she was putting out just so you can see how this evolved.

251
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:34,800
So she tweets, Jamie Spears lawyer is asking the court to force whistleblower Alex Vlasov

252
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:40,120
to hand over evidence of Jamie and Black Fox security surveillance of Britney Spears during

253
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:41,880
her conservatorship.

254
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:47,960
Last year, Vlasov went public in an NYT investigation alleging that Jamie and his security firm

255
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:53,120
ran an intense surveillance operation that spied on Britney's texts in real time and

256
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,360
secretly recorded her in her bedroom.

257
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,960
He shared texts, emails and recordings to back up his claims.

258
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,840
A few days later, Jamie was suspended as Britney's conservator.

259
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:08,360
Then after the judge terminated the conservatorship completely, a move Jamie had first requested,

260
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,200
but the court case wasn't over.

261
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,720
Both sides are still fighting over money.

262
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:17,440
Britney's lawyer Matthew Rosengart publicly promised his firm would do a deep investigation

263
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,640
into the conservatorship, including whether Britney's money was mismanaged.

264
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,840
Headlines proclaimed Britney was on a mission to get justice.

265
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,000
Then the general public stopped paying his close attention.

266
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,960
Britney got a new lawyer, Alex Weingarten, who promptly filed for Britney to pay his ongoing

267
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:33,960
legal fees.

268
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:40,280
Rosengart filed an objection called the E-Baddy Declaration, a baddy, which summarized Jamie's

269
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:45,760
misconduct, heavily citing Vlasov's surveillance claims as why Britney shouldn't have to pay.

270
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:50,480
As part of his investigation, Rosengart filed subpoenas to Jamie and Britney's former business

271
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:55,440
manager TriStar about potential financial mismanagement and electronic surveillance.

272
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,200
TriStar filed to block the subpoenas.

273
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,760
A court hearing was set for July 2022, nine months later, in response, Jamie filed to

274
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,520
depose Britney to ask about child safety and possible drug use.

275
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,560
Per Make Note of This TMZ.

276
00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:10,560
TMZ is reporting about this.

277
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:11,720
And they came up before.

278
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:12,720
They do.

279
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:13,720
They will come up again.

280
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:18,920
This set off a flurry of filings as Jamie and Britney tried to force each other's depots.

281
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:19,920
What's a depot?

282
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:20,920
Deposition.

283
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:21,920
Like a statement?

284
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:27,480
No, depositions are where you get questioned by the other party and their lawyers.

285
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:33,280
In July, the judge said Jamie must be deposed, not Britney, a big win for Britney.

286
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:34,280
Oh, okay.

287
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:35,280
Maybe they mean deposed then.

288
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:36,280
Sorry.

289
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:37,280
Not deposition.

290
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:38,280
They do mean deposed.

291
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:39,280
Yeah.

292
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:40,280
It's Twitter, so they're short.

293
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:41,720
It's not full comments.

294
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:42,720
Yes.

295
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:47,840
Jamie also tried to get Britney's investigative files, including Vlasov's recordings from

296
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,880
Kroll, but that got denied too.

297
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,440
Weingarten filed appeals to the court, but the court has not ruled yet.

298
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,080
He also wants to unseal certain records, he said defend Jamie.

299
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,920
Jamie was deposed in August.

300
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:03,960
Soon after, TMZ reported on settlement talks claiming Rosengart offered to end things

301
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,560
for 7 million, but tri-star in Jamie ball.

302
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:11,280
Presumably, whatever amount they ultimately settled for would come in exchange for Britney

303
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,000
giving up the right to sue for anything related to the conservatorship.

304
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,840
But to number 24 marked one year since the whistleblower went public and important legal

305
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,320
deadlines expired.

306
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,240
Statutes of limitations for criminal prosecution have essentially passed.

307
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,720
I've asked all levels of law enforcement and there's no indication of an investigation

308
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:30,720
being pursued.

309
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:36,800
It was also the deadline for Britney or others to file a separate civil lawsuit against Jamie

310
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,480
slash BBX for invasion of privacy.

311
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:45,560
California law allows for 5k penalty for each text, which given the huge trove of texts

312
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,320
in Vlasov's evidence could have amounted to many millions.

313
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:56,080
A few days ago, the judge ruled tri-star execs Lou Taylor and Robin Greenhill must be deposed,

314
00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:00,240
including about surveillance.

315
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:06,880
But in big win for tri-star, she limited discovery to only be about the 12th accounting, i.e.

316
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:12,080
how Britney's money was spent in 2019, not any of the 10 years prior.

317
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:17,840
Britney's team argued tri-star's financial books lacked crucial backups such as invoices

318
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:22,280
and cash receipts, including to explain why payments were made to tri-star, claims it

319
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:26,560
still hasn't gotten a direct answer on how much money tri-star made.

320
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,720
They wanted text emails about tri-star's conservatorship work.

321
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:37,520
Also alleged tri-star produced only the net income of her tours, not gross revenues, i.e.

322
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:43,040
how much Britney was left after expenses, not how much money her work generated overall.

323
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:47,440
Cited emails suggesting some expenses may have been paid outside the estate and court

324
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:48,440
oversight.

325
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,760
However, the judge ruled that Britney can't just reopen the financial books, i.e. how

326
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:59,720
her money was spent in 2008 to 2018, unless Rosengart raises evidence of extrinsic fraud

327
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,440
in the prior accounting that had been approved by Britney's old lawyers and others.

328
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:08,400
But a 2019 email suggests Britney's then lawyer, Sam Ingram, apparently may not have fully

329
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,520
known who was making what percent off Britney, which raises the question of how good was

330
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:13,520
his information.

331
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,920
Limiting discovery to the 12th accounting is a big deal because the amount of money in

332
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,760
dispute that Britney could get back is not a lot.

333
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:26,680
300k raised to tri-star after Britney went on work strike, 150k in legal fees when Lou

334
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:32,760
Taylor sued a fan, 80k accounting fee, tri-star got after Vegas was cancelled, 600k is not

335
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:37,440
a lot, everyone on all sides has almost certainly spent more on legal fees at this point.

336
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,880
Britney could file more objections, but all the current objections of alleged financial

337
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:46,200
mismanagement during the 12th accounting were found by Sam Ingram, not Rosengart.

338
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,240
Back to Alex Vlasov in August after being blocked from getting them from Britney and

339
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:56,160
Kroll, Wangart subpoenaed Vlasov for the recordings and other evidence of alleged illegal spying.

340
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:02,000
Vlasov's lawyer opposed and part invoking his 5th amendment right against self-incrimination.

341
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:07,040
So Wangart is now asking the court to force Vlasov to hand over all recordings texts to

342
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:12,080
support his claims and all docs related to Britney or Jamie including any with Britney's

343
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,560
lawyers, Kroll or PR agencies.

344
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:19,160
So that's a lot of things that were kind of going on legally.

345
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,240
That's after conservatorship was supposed to have ended too.

346
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:23,720
That was right after, yep.

347
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,760
Yeah, that's clearly not the end of it and there's clearly something else going on with

348
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,000
her money before she actually gets it.

349
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:36,080
Yep, and not only that, but you're seeing deadlines for things kind of expiring for

350
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,160
her to be able to take legal action and you're seeing-

351
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,880
Yeah, because there's statutes of limitations which are usually about two years from when

352
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:48,680
an event took place unless, like they said, and sorry, this is, I don't know US law perfectly,

353
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,560
so I don't know the actual limitation periods there, but if it's extreme fraud, like clearly

354
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:58,440
forgeries and whatnot, then there's a different statute of limitations that would impact it

355
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,000
and that's what they're arguing over.

356
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,800
Now, I don't know where that ever ended.

357
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:08,080
I couldn't really find it and you would think that I would be?

358
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,560
Yeah, so that's kind of, I just wanted to bring that up.

359
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,720
You see a lot of names.

360
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:18,320
I don't actually know if this expired and she never followed up anything on it legally

361
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:19,320
or what.

362
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,800
Kelsey, do you know the dates that those tweets are actually regarding?

363
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,960
Yeah, let me see if I can find it.

364
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:31,400
Just because it's not uncommon for lawsuits to go on for years and years and it sounds

365
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:36,680
like my guess would be at least 2020 or later, likely 2021, which would mean we're still

366
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:37,680
within the wheelhouse.

367
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,320
Yeah, I think it was 2021.

368
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,280
I thought I had the link here, right here, Liz Day.

369
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,240
Yeah, and that's particularly with like-

370
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,240
October 14, 2022.

371
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,240
Okay, so it's still ongoing.

372
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:54,360
Okay, still ongoing, like it's less than a year since that happened, so it's likely

373
00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:55,360
still ongoing.

374
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:59,120
Yeah, so there's all this stuff trying to fight to get her dad on there and they're

375
00:19:59,120 --> 00:20:01,040
obviously fighting it tooth and nail.

376
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,920
So yeah, I wanted you to see that the legal battle is still going on.

377
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:11,760
The big names in this, this is TriStar, this is Lou Taylor, a lot of money, well not a

378
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,840
lot of money, but in the end they took a lot of money from her.

379
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,880
So yeah, there's a lot with that going on.

380
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,880
Brittany has a lot to be outspoken about and she has said that she was going to make everyone

381
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:26,560
pay and she was going to do an interview to expose what was done to her, but she hadn't

382
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:27,800
exactly done that.

383
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,960
As a matter of fact, she's been rather quiet on the subject.

384
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,640
She did get a book deal, which is a whole other thing.

385
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,580
I didn't get the chance to even touch on that.

386
00:20:37,580 --> 00:20:40,960
There are a lot of things going on around the book deal as well.

387
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:45,560
If you want to look at that, maybe in the future we'll do another follow up on Britney Spears,

388
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:46,560
but-

389
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:47,560
I believe October.

390
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:52,640
There's a lot of talk on it, just to touch on it quickly.

391
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,920
Even the name of it, The Woman and Me, that's a Shania Twain song.

392
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,080
It's not even one of Britney Spears' song.

393
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,280
There's a lot going on with the picture that he used of her on that.

394
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,200
It's wearing very shiny pants and no top, even herself a hug from inside.

395
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,280
It's from a music video and I'm trying to remember what music video they took it from.

396
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:12,720
It's a young Brittany on there.

397
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,200
The book actually kept getting delayed and delayed to come out.

398
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,080
I have a feeling and a lot of people have a feeling that it's-

399
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,760
It will get delayed again.

400
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:25,640
It might get delayed again, but it's not going to be probably the story that she wants to

401
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:26,640
tell.

402
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:31,400
I have a feeling because if it's the one that she wants to tell, trust me, Lou Taylor and

403
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:37,240
these lawyers would not be having that book come out if it's the story that she wants to

404
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:38,240
tell.

405
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:39,760
I just want to make sure I understand this.

406
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,520
Tristar is an agency, right?

407
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:43,520
Yes.

408
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:44,520
I believe Star.

409
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,960
I was looking at Tristar Sports and Entertainment and Lou Taylor is the CEO.

410
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,880
A woman, just so we're on the same page when we're thinking about it.

411
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:52,880
Oh, is it?

412
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:53,880
Louise Marie Taylor, yes.

413
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,440
Oh, I thought it was a boy.

414
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:56,440
Okay.

415
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:57,840
I guess that doesn't really change anything.

416
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,480
That's just a quick thing on the book.

417
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,120
I mean, there's lots if you want to go check out those Tik Tokers.

418
00:22:03,120 --> 00:22:06,840
They have represented people such as Gwen Stefani, Reba McIntyre.

419
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,320
Yeah, they're huge.

420
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:09,320
Yeah.

421
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,440
Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler.

422
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:12,440
They're huge, yeah.

423
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,320
Of course, they're in charge of Brittany Spears.

424
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,760
I'm sure you're wondering, where is this leading?

425
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,360
And boy, was it a long set up, you guys.

426
00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:23,160
This is where it gets good if you're here for the conspiracy theory.

427
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,840
According to new ish conspiracy theories, they're getting on in years now, but fans

428
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:32,720
believe that Brittany is being silenced and that she is either missing under a psychiatric

429
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:37,760
hold again or something like that or dead, whether natural causes or not, and has been

430
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:44,400
replaced by not only AI and deep fake technology, but also has a body double operating with

431
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,880
or without the deep fake technology when public appearances need to be made.

432
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,320
When it's been too long and people are like, we haven't seen Brittany in a while.

433
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:53,320
Where is she?

434
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:54,360
They'll send the body double out.

435
00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:57,240
She did say her dad was trying to kill her after all.

436
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:02,480
I find this one intriguing because some of the so-called evidence of this conspiracy

437
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:09,240
theory are super creepy and a little compelling, giving the setup that I've given you.

438
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:13,840
Let's take a look at some points towards why people are thinking these crazy things.

439
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,840
First, this is short and sweet.

440
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:20,360
Let's take a look at the evidence for points towards Brittany Spears being dead first.

441
00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:23,840
First one is a prepared Brittany Spears obituary that was leaked.

442
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,600
Word leaked out that one of the major press agencies have prepared an obituary for Brittany

443
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:28,600
Spears.

444
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:33,600
I don't find too crazy because with technology these days, most outlets will have obituaries

445
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,080
ready to go for big stars, especially ones acting crazy.

446
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,840
They want them out there the second they catch it.

447
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,960
And like you've seen before, like this isn't even a new thing, but celebrities, like as

448
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:49,120
soon as they die, having their obituary out or mistakenly have been identified as dead,

449
00:23:49,120 --> 00:23:51,240
having their obituary out and it's really weird.

450
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:56,160
Their famous quotes from Mark Twain, tales of my demise have been greatly exaggerated,

451
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,580
was because that there was an obituary out there of him.

452
00:23:58,580 --> 00:24:04,240
And the Nobel Prize was created because Alfred Nobel read his obituary because people thought

453
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,680
he had died and he created dynamite.

454
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,560
So they basically said the death merchant has finally died.

455
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:14,040
So he felt terrible about his legacy and created the Nobel Prize.

456
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,720
That's some good facts right there.

457
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:16,720
I didn't know that.

458
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:17,720
Yeah.

459
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,680
So that one I don't find too crazy because they don't want to waste time.

460
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:26,000
You're behind if you're even hesitating a second with an obituary and someone has died,

461
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,320
especially with social media.

462
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:32,320
One that's a little more compelling, I'm going to send you this link.

463
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,720
It's a legal document that says deceased.

464
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,680
And who might be deceased?

465
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,440
It is a legal document showing Britney Spears deceased.

466
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,120
That her conservators labeled her as deceased in court documents.

467
00:24:44,120 --> 00:24:48,880
That's kind of where the proof of where people point to that Britney Spears is dead.

468
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,720
That's all I got for Britney Spears is dead, but I mean that she's labeled deceased on

469
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,120
court documents is not nothing.

470
00:24:55,120 --> 00:24:57,480
It's also a screenshot of a document.

471
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,000
You don't even see the whole document unfortunately.

472
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,680
That's just one place you can find it.

473
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,800
If you Google, you can find it other places.

474
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:04,800
Okay.

475
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,680
That was just for the sake of me being able to send these.

476
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,440
I don't actually know if you can see the whole document anywhere else on the internet.

477
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,240
But like there's many things that are apparently wrong with this document.

478
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:15,240
Like there's.

479
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:16,240
Oh really?

480
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:17,240
Well, just look at it.

481
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,760
The case number is crossed out as being mentioned as incorrect.

482
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,720
Something is crossed out as void in the bottom right.

483
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,360
The judge has been crossed out.

484
00:25:24,360 --> 00:25:25,360
Yeah.

485
00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:26,360
I never.

486
00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:27,600
There's a bunch of things that are weird about this document.

487
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,200
Oh, here's the whole document.

488
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,200
Here's the whole document.

489
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,200
Oh yeah.

490
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,200
There's a lot.

491
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,200
It's void.

492
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,200
It was filed October 9th.

493
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:35,200
Okay.

494
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:36,200
Void.

495
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,480
I assume it's not normal that all these things are crossed out in void.

496
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:39,480
No.

497
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,520
And if you read the court document was labeled Britney Spears is deceased was a copy from

498
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,880
a Michael Jackson case based on the case number in the corner.

499
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:47,880
Huh?

500
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:48,880
Yeah.

501
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,480
So it appears that it's a, I would say that that's a mistake on the printing where it

502
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,000
just seems to like mesh two things together.

503
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,360
So it's not even for breaking a court document that once labeled Britney Spears is deceased

504
00:25:59,360 --> 00:26:01,600
was literally copied from Michael.

505
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:02,600
What?

506
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:03,600
Yeah.

507
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:04,600
That's super weird.

508
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:05,600
Copied from Michael Jackson's.

509
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,640
I'm leaning towards based on the information in here that there's an error inherent to

510
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:10,640
this document.

511
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,880
There's so many things crossed out and it's saying that this is a cross between a Michael

512
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:18,000
Jackson case that leads me to believe that this isn't factual in many ways.

513
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,000
Okay.

514
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Okay.

515
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,000
Let's just move on then.

516
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,000
Yeah.

517
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,920
I'm glad we have someone able to really look at this though.

518
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,120
So those are what we have for Britney Spears being dead.

519
00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:31,640
I'm not convinced of Britney Spears being dead after looking into this.

520
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:32,640
She's probably alive.

521
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,920
She's probably in trouble based on what I'm going through.

522
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:36,920
But yeah, let's move on.

523
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,000
Those are the points for the dead.

524
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,560
So make your own decisions based on that.

525
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:41,720
But dead or alive.

526
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,280
People think Britney is missing or in trouble.

527
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,000
Just what is compelling people to ask where is Britney?

528
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,560
So I'm going to start with my own wonderings.

529
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,520
If you go back, I don't know if you still have Instagram open.

530
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:53,520
I do.

531
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:54,520
Yes.

532
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,080
Just click on the third post, the video.

533
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,440
This person looks not like the Britney Spears I remember.

534
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,640
Britney Spears had like perfect teeth.

535
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,120
This looks shocking.

536
00:27:04,120 --> 00:27:07,080
First of all, when I started seeing her come out on this Instagram.

537
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:11,360
I am just going to say because I haven't outside of these episodes thought about Britney Spears

538
00:27:11,360 --> 00:27:14,160
much in the last 20 years or so.

539
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,760
Which is perfect to get your weighing in on this.

540
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:17,760
Yeah.

541
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:18,760
I would say like, I don't know.

542
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,000
I don't know the way she looks like.

543
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,880
She looks like she's aged.

544
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,480
I would definitely say that.

545
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,200
But I wouldn't say that it wouldn't be Britney.

546
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,360
If I was just come across Britney Spears on Instagram and to see this, I'd be like, okay,

547
00:27:28,360 --> 00:27:29,360
Britney's dancing.

548
00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:34,400
And there's no real non-movement parts to actually say like, down and analyze if that's

549
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:38,600
a different person, nor would I unless you were actually to bring this up to me.

550
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:39,600
So I don't know.

551
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,720
I would say it's Britney, but I'm going to share this one to you.

552
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,320
This one I find to be a very creepy video.

553
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,120
I don't know if you can actually watch it.

554
00:27:48,120 --> 00:27:50,720
I'm just going to Google Britney Spears.

555
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,640
Not even Britney Spears young.

556
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,120
Let's go Britney Spears Las Vegas residency.

557
00:27:56,120 --> 00:27:57,400
You have that video there?

558
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:58,400
Oh yeah.

559
00:27:58,400 --> 00:27:59,400
No, that is.

560
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:00,400
That's a creepy video, right?

561
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:01,400
Yeah.

562
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,440
It looks like it's been like a two week bender of some kind that she's been on.

563
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:06,840
She's not looking great.

564
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:07,840
No, she's not.

565
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:08,840
Now look at this.

566
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,640
And she also labeled this one Maria River Red.

567
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:12,680
Oh, she did.

568
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:13,680
It's creepy.

569
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,680
Does it not give you the creeps?

570
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:16,680
Yeah, it does.

571
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,480
But there is something off about that.

572
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:19,480
There's something wrong.

573
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:20,600
Look at her teeth.

574
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,320
She looks disheveled.

575
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,000
Something's definitely wrong, right?

576
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,040
This is a post made July 4th.

577
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,040
She's dancing.

578
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,480
The comment on it is Maria River Red.

579
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:30,920
This video gives me the creeps.

580
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:35,840
So if you look at this next one I sent you, you obviously has her makeup done.

581
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,760
This to me does not look like the same person.

582
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,560
The teeth are different.

583
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,280
Does she have a lower back tattoo?

584
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:43,280
Yes.

585
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:44,280
And the two front tattoos?

586
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:45,280
Okay.

587
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:46,280
Yeah.

588
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:47,280
And then she'll come up.

589
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,160
So yeah, that to me, and I'm just talking about my own personal experience.

590
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,160
And to me, I go, I've seen people age.

591
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:54,160
Yeah.

592
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,600
I think she's a better dancer than this too.

593
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,080
This person's not that great of a dancer.

594
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,200
I thought I always thought too.

595
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,920
I know aging can affect things.

596
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,560
Drugs can affect teeth.

597
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,160
Those are really weird shoes.

598
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,160
I know.

599
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:07,160
She was on lithium.

600
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,320
I'm sure that can change your appearance if you're on for long enough.

601
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:16,400
But this to me, this is not the natural course of how looks change.

602
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,320
It doesn't look like Britain.

603
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:19,880
Like the teeth have completely changed.

604
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:20,880
I don't know.

605
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,960
Just that's only my comment on it.

606
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,520
I always thought something was off.

607
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:25,800
So next point.

608
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,720
She has not been seen in public in a while.

609
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,640
What do you mean you may ask?

610
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:35,720
Because I wrote this before she was just seen getting backhanded by a basketball player security

611
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,000
in Las Vegas.

612
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,720
But even with that, the point still stands.

613
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,520
My reply to you asking that would be yes, you're technically right.

614
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,440
She did just get backhanded by a basketball player security in Las Vegas.

615
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,160
I myself said the same thing.

616
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:53,240
That being said, remember in the last episode when Britney Spears was being hounded by the

617
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,640
paparazzi before she went under the conservatorship?

618
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,760
They were getting incredibly high definition pictures of her.

619
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,840
There was no doubting back in the day that that was Britney Spears.

620
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,440
However, photos of Britney Spears in public now are grainy.

621
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:12,720
If you zoom in, you cannot make out any definition on it.

622
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,320
She's in sweaters with hoods up.

623
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:18,320
I would have to agree that there is a huge difference between what was being produced

624
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,200
before versus now.

625
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:25,440
And not only are there still paparazzi, but there are also fans now with cell phones which

626
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,400
have really good quality.

627
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,800
Might I add probably better quality than the ones that Britney Spears herself are using

628
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,040
to upload her videos these days.

629
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,400
Anyway, no one is getting very good pictures of her in the wild.

630
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,920
And you cannot zoom in on these photos without getting pixelation.

631
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,640
Let me just send you the picture of her just now.

632
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,080
This is the best picture they have of her when she got backhanded by this player.

633
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,920
I feel like people would have their cameras out for this kind of event too.

634
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:51,920
Yep.

635
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:52,920
There's that one.

636
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:53,920
Oh wow.

637
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,800
Are you compelled to say that as Britney Spears?

638
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:56,800
Can you confirm it?

639
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,960
She's moving too fast.

640
00:30:58,960 --> 00:30:59,960
And this one.

641
00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:04,240
These are her in Las Vegas just recently of the security guard backhanded her.

642
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:08,360
She did come out and make a statement about it that she was there and did get backhanded.

643
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:09,600
Oh, it's a video.

644
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,560
Yeah, I'm just looking at this video.

645
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:12,560
It's only 20.

646
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,000
Oh, it's just going over the same thing over and over again.

647
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,560
Yeah, it's a video of her with a hood up.

648
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,680
You cannot tell it's her at all.

649
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:20,760
You can't tell it's her.

650
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:21,760
This is normal.

651
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,440
So you can't actually confirm it's her.

652
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:28,560
This is pretty much anything being put out right now of Britney's ratings.

653
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,280
And again, those are TMZ.

654
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:35,920
TMZ has come up multiple times now because they were getting leaked information beforehand

655
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,120
during the conservative trip.

656
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,120
They'll come up more.

657
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:39,120
Yeah, okay.

658
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,840
I'm glad you're drawing the connections though.

659
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:45,560
So it's believed that large kind of scenes like this, like this was on the news.

660
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:50,040
It's believed these are set up just when people are like, we haven't heard from Britney in

661
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:54,200
a while and then she goes and makes a big spectacle like this, but you can't actually

662
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,480
confirm that it's her at all.

663
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,640
So yeah, that's another point in their favor.

664
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,080
Chelsea, this is running a big long, so I think we're going to have to extend this to

665
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,080
a three parter at this point.

666
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,960
In the meantime though, I have been Taylor here with Chelsea.

667
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,200
We are Journey to the Fringe.

668

669
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:11,280
