Baller Alert Its A Lifestyle
This past weekend, Britney Spears uploaded a lengthy voice message discussing her life following the end of her conservatorship.
“I’ve had tons of opportunities — Oprah, interviews — to go on a platform and share the hardships and just really anything that’s going on in my mind,” Spears said on the Sunday evening post. “I really don’t think any of that is relevant, getting paid to tell your story. I feel like it’s kind of silly.”
She added: “I haven’t honestly shared this openly too, as well, because I’ve always been scared of the judgment and definitely the embarrassment of the whole thing, period, and the skepticism and the cynical people and their opinions of what people would think. I’m in a place now where I’m a little bit more confident that I can be willing to share openly my thoughts and what I’ve been through.”
Recalling the start of the conservatorship, she said: “I was 25 when it started. I was extremely young. I remember a lot of my friends texting me and calling me extremely close, and they wanted to see me.”
She recalled: “There was a SWAT team in my home, three helicopters. I remember my mom’s best friend and my two girlfriends. We had a sleepover the night before. They held me down on a gurney. Again, none of it made sense. Literally, the extent of my ‘madness’ was playing chase with the paparazzi, which is still, to this day, one of the most fun things I ever did about being famous. I don’t know what was so harmful about that.
“I remember my mom was sitting on the couch, and she said, ‘We heard people are coming here today to talk to you. We should probably go to a hotel or something.’ I never really understood what she meant. I didn’t believe her. Like, is a lawyer coming here? Who is coming here? Four hours later, there were over 200 paparazzi outside my house video-taping me through a window of an ambulance, holding me down on a gurney.”
Later in the voice message, she said that the conservatorship was “all basically set up,” calling it “pure abuse” and saying that “there were no drugs in my system, no alcohol, nothing.”
Towards the end of her message, she said, “I’m sharing this because I want people to know I’m only human. I do feel victimized after these experiences, and how can I mend this if I don’t talk about it?”
“If you’re a weird introvert oddball like me, who feels alone a lot of the time, and you needed to hear a story like this today, so you don’t feel alone, know this: My life has been far from easy, and you’re not alone.”
