Britney Spears' First Appearance on The Ellen Show (Full Interview) (Season 1)

[@celinepope]

This makes me tear up. She was so pure and happy. Never deserved what happened to her by the hands of her family.

[@ro143cky]

She didn’t deserve that but she also has serious mental health issues…

[@seraphpuke]

me too.

[@TheLuna146]

I am not shure it is because her family, she was so much better when they were taking care of her. She is mentaly ill and maybe they had to do what they did…

[@iris_luxlover]

What did they do to her? 😮

[@coffeepeachesplans]

Her ex probably was mad she spent money on her kids not him

[@TomLugo]

I think Ellen was one of the few people who interviewed Britney with dignity, respect, and love. She was kind to her and never even mentioned any "controversies" the media was putting up against Britney. After watching back some of the horrible interviews she had to go through, Ellen must have been such a relief.

Every interview I see until today, she’s like a young vulnerable child trying to find her way and please people. If she had a kind, loving, and supportive family and positive, grounded people as friends, I’m sure it would have changed her life.

[@Lunearien]

Literally. Everyone around her are toxic, manipulative kind of people saw an easy prey in her. Being sweet, nice, hard working person without the right supportive support system is like a golden goose being thrown into the hungry pack of hyenas.

[@noname-ea]

The world was robbed of watching her develop past her 20s. I think she was stuck wanting the simple life after she had all that fame in her youth but at some point realized she could never go back to being just simple Brittany vs Brittany the star...God love her...she was too sweet for that industry and it ate her alive
