Yes.

[@TightyWhiteyTrash]

Thanks Ms. Mojo/Watch Mojo for knowing the details of the memoir while also describing how she was a victim when everyone made her out to be a villain. It’s so insane to me that all these things she did in the 90s and 2000s were so heavily scrutinized, but these days, no one bats an eye to it or never discusses it. For example, teenage girls wearing crop tops that expose their midriffs, cosmetic surgery, questioning a celebrity’s virginity, questioning a celeb’s parenting skills and a celebrity’s example to younger children/fans. She was way beyond her years and acted dignified and mature at such a young age. And don’t get me started on JT.

Also, Matt Lauer has his own skeletons in a closet. He’s not the one to judge anyone on anything.

Maybe she's sober nowadays, I doubt she was the goody two shoes you think she was back then. There are tabloid pictures of her going to clubs and partying with Paris Hilton in mid-late 2000's... Then there's that infamous photo of her caught going commando in a short dress that was censored, so idk if it was real or not. Most western teens that age are not that innocent at all and experiment with a lot of stuff, even more so if they're a celebrity. The image they portray to the public and press is different from reality, because squeaky clean image sells more records for protective, cautious parents who don't want their children to listening to wrong influence. The fact she got pregnant at 19, tho it seems like she was talking bout waiting until marriage and the fact her sister got pregnant at 16, kinda tells you in what direction they were going or where they were at.... As someone who was sober in their teen years it's actually hard to find peers your age as a teen who stay away from alcohol, substances, or teen sx.

[@iprobablywontseeyourreply.7193]

⁠@@LovelyLittleLillieswho gives af if she drank did drugs whatever she did in the past. I don’t even care if she does them now. She dealt with more than more ppl will have to at a young age with a family and ppl exploiting abusing and using her for all she’s worth and imprisoning her in her own body. She could not even make her own medical decisions, couldn’t go buy herself something nice w/o permission, couldn’t even choose the color of her kitchen cabinets, she had to work her ass off to support everyone else and even pay for the lawyers her father used to keep her imprisoned. At her lowest points, during a mental breakdown about her kids being taken away, the tabloids chased the ambulance down snapping photos through the back window of her on the stretcher. She was married before she was pregnant btw. And she is not her sister. The “commando” photo was bc the paparazzi was hounding her taking photos while she got into a super low car, how is that her fault? Lots of women don’t wear underwear in certain outfits to avoid panty lines, but regardless women can wear whatever they want. The fact that she isn’t strung out on heroin or dead is a miracle.

Diane Sawyer probably got a raise for this interview. All the media cares about is a strong reaction and views, the fact that she made Britney cry on national TV was a huge win for her and the network.

Britney was just a girl. She didn’t even have the chance to enjoy becoming a woman when she was meant to because the media wanted to control her. The “all American pop star” is bound to grow tf up and have her own voice. Repeatedly this has happened to so many stars and it is time to end it. Let humans be humans. She deserves to experience womanhood just as someone who isn’t as famous as her. I pray for genuine happiness to come to her and commend her and bow down to her strength and courage

That Dutch host who asked a 17-year-old Britney about her boobs. I can't imagine an interview like that being tolerated today. Why did interviewers back then ask their underage guests inappropriate questions?

[@marychocolatefairy]

It wasn't really tolerated then either. Britney's peers like Michelle Branch, Avril, Pink, etc, generally got treated more respectfully. It's just that it was "okay" (for some reason) to make fun of Britney Spears.

[@christiemoore8545]

Can you imagine any male artist being treated like that?! It would NEVER happen. A 12 year conservatorship granting total power to a team of people to control your every move would NEVER happen to a male artist. It's a crying shame that because she is a (mega talent) young female with a kind disposition they were granted free rein to exploit her to the fullest extent for YEARS!!!! I am so troubled by this, it ALL happened right before our eyes and we had NO IDEA!! Britany, you survived something I don't think I ever could have made it through alive. Many blessings to you for your future, you deserve it!! You are strong. You prevailed. Live YOUR life and YOUR terms!!

[@madameblackimusprime]

I've been listening to her memoir and I observed 2 things: 1. Angry and traumatized as she may be, she's clearly nobody's victim anymore. I thought it was surprising that she did not try to trash JT nearly as much as people do now. 2. It's bizarre that people demanded an apology from him for years and when he finally gave one they said it was not good enough. Of course not. It wasn't genuine. It wasn't for her. It was for the people who expressed more outrage than she ever did in her own memoir. Bonus: Her father is literally a monster.

[@knightcap101]

One interview that isn’t very widely known is a radio interview she did the day after the release of her 2007 album, Blackout. It was Ryan Seacrest and once again he asked 1-2 questions about the album, and about 5 questions about very personal things. One of them that disgusted me was “So uh.. how often will you see your kids?” Loved her attitude though as eventually she passed the phone back to her cousin, left the room and went for a shower. That got me laughing.

[@PaulADAigle]

When Britney started, she was adorable and innocent. I loved her, we all loved her. Then her perception got torn down and sullied for being human. I hate that that happened, but I don't blame her, I blame the Press and her family's urging to be overtly 'sexual' for the fame and money. I see the same innocence in Iman Vellani. She's the MCUs Ms. Marvel. I truly hope she can keep her heart in Hollywood.
