Wow we really haven’t changed since the days of throwing women into water to see if they could swim. She’s dead either way!

I think there’s also an argument to be made that having abusive parents control you into middle age will stunt your maturity. People are mad that she’s acting like a teenager or a young 20-something.

She never got to live those years like a normal person so of course that’s what she’s doing now that she has the freedom…

I cannot believe that you wrote this and didn’t include that TMZ received so much backlash on Twitter with the hashtag LeaveBritneyAlone trending. People are not having this coverage. Britney has never disclosed a diagnosis so it is not TMZ’s place to say putting a menu in front of her face when someone is videotaping…

And yet Kanye West is out there with a real mental health diagnosis, and he’s completely untreated, unmedicated, and a threat to others and himself while spewing racist garbage.

And here you are, making money off of her breakdown. 

Putting the menu over her face, should have been enough of a clue for the jerk to stop filming. Does she need mental health services? Probably, but it does not help that some unethical mental health professionals were involved in her conservatorship and were more interested in money than giving her help.

I’m sure have abusive parents control you into middle age, is probably not great for ones mental health. The fact that the news media is still trying make Britney seem unhinged for not wanting to be a wind up doll is very concerning. I hope she has a therapist she can trust. 

Agreed. I feel gross and complicit from checking the link. I did to compare what was reported vs what the video showed, but the only way to do that was to read teh article and watch the video - which showed Britney being clearly distressed by the selfish scum filming her, and trying to hide her face from them with the…

Having just finished the audiobook version of Prince Harry’s book “Spare”, I can say with complete confidence that you’ve been sucked in by the tabloids and paparazzi. Not to mention incredibly rude and selfish fellow diners, who appear to have chosen to act like papparazzi. The real story, it seems, is that intense…

We are at current society condition where,

From the video I saw in the news in Australia, it looked to be just one person who appeared to be filming her as she was sitting there making weird sounds and there looked to be a waiter standing in front of her table. Was it right to film her? Absolutely not. But we must also be cognisant of the fact that people will…

No one who is concerned about another person’s mental health, decides that the best course of action is to film that person.  TMZ will always be garbage and the people who read it are complicit.

“my intentions are different from TMZ’s”

Women dating down is seen as empowering - despite any power dynamics that might exist

This is pretty normal. Women dating down is seen as empowering - despite any power dynamics that might exist - but if men do it, its seen as grooming or exploitation. There are TONS of real issues in the world but i’m not sure if this is one of them, or at least not one that should be at the top of the list.

On report i’ll never forget that circulated when everyone was shitting on Leo for always dating younger women always kinda sums up these sorts of thoughts for me.

I’m in my late 40s. I couldn’t imagine dating someone 10 years younger than me let alone 20. I’m just in a different place in my life and I don’t have the energy to keep up with someone in their 20s.

Lets not pretend its only men doing the grooming.

These are all grown ass adults involved in consensual mistakes relationships, let ‘em sort it out for themselves.

Why can't everyone just mind their own fucking business?
