I live in southern Louisiana and I know someone who grew up across the street from Brittney and from the beginning it was obvious the family was using her as a meal ticket with zero regard for B as a human being. Not a single family member ever put Brittney first and I believe that’s why B can’t see her own worth.

Diana Sawyer is an awful human being. I recently saw a documentary on Whitney Huston and Diane Sawyer was invasive- insensitive- judgemental…. It was awful watching that interview
@lisalivingston64738 ай бұрын
I hadn't seen this interview, but after watching Cheere Denise's video, I went back and watched the Diane Sawyer interview with Britney, who was 21 years-old at that time. It is posted on KZbin for all to see. In my opinion, Diane Sawyer was simply doing her job as a journalist and interviewer. I thought Britney held her own, especially when Diane confronted her about her scantily clad photos and stage attire. Britney offered examples of other celebrities photographed for magazine covers in little or no clothing, i.e. Kate Hudson, Jennifer Lopez and Christina Aguilera which were shown during the interview to illustrate her point and which she thought were beautiful. When pressed by Diane on whether she thinks she is a good role model for young girls, Britney said that parents should monitor what their children are exposed to. She felt no responsibility to be a role model except to her little sister, Jamie Lynn. You could feel Britney's raw pain when the subject of Justin Timberlake was discussed. She said their break-up was mutual with blame on both sides, but she did not elaborate further. We now know her side of that story documented in her memoir. Overall, I thought it was a good interview, especially considering how young Britney was at the time being interviewed by such a seasoned, veteran journalist. It's worth viewing if you have 45 minutes to spare.

I asked friends for hand-me-downs at one point. When I was 50 I remember shopping at “Filenes Basement” for business casual jackets on sale. I made do and shopped at used clothing stores, I loved hand-me-downs, I sewed or altered my clothes as much as possible. I still buy 2nd hand jeans and sew my own tops or buy inexpensive tops from Costco. So, I can relate to Britney always referring to herself as this little innocent child, vulnerable, and bullied.

I think she is still a little girl, because its how she has been treated all her life, pushed to grow up in some directions but still stuck in her early and mid teens in others, the family treated her as the cash cow and kept her down so they could take advantage of her, the press treated her appallingly, she is nieve and easily bullied. Being made to have an abortion probably stunted her, she has probably carried that guilt ever since, that must have badly affected her mental health, ( had a friend that had an abortion, many years later after her marriage and 2 children she had a breakdown, she had a family that would have supported her and even though her and the father of the child wanted her to keep it and would have supported her and the baby she still went ahead with the abortion ) I think her husband was setting her up, divorce, get the kids and gobble up Britney's money ( collusion between him & her father ) he seems to have done a number on the boys who want nothing to do with their mother but certainly want the money she works hard to earn for them to sit on their backsides and criticise.

The piece that’s missing, that would explain a lot of things and connect the dots is her substance abuse problems. She was obviously an addict and probably an alcoholic. Which would explain a lot of the things that don’t quite make sense with the excuses and saying she was “innocent and didn’t know any better”. Maybe she’s just not ready to get into all of that. Or, maybe she still doesn’t think she has a problem. Either way, it’s really unfortunate. A lot can be said for someone who admits a struggle like that and takes accountability for their actions. I know all about that first hand because I am a recovering addict, and trust me, It takes one to know one. IYKYK. I see so many things that would make complete sense and really bring her story full circle, if that was the narrative that she wanted to tell.

Then someone laughed and laughed and life happened(I’m also from Louisiana. Is it our curriculum in schools?). 😂 I don’t know if I ever heard the word f*ck until high school. I had good teacher parents, we are practicing Catholics, we camped-we were wholesome boring! I have wonderful parents that could not have gotten me ready for the world that was forming. My boys aren’t as naive as I was at their ages. I was sheltered and kept from a lot. Some worldly things, couldn’t be taught to me by my parents because they didn’t participate in bad things. I just feel for Britney. In the south we say people are sweet, but she really seems to be! Did you hear her say please to the paparazzi? How refreshing not to just clap back with obscenities or rage. It sounds childlike, but it is still more mature than Harry and Meghan’s response…if this would indeed have ever happened to them!

It doesn't surprise me that Britney didn't employ a personal hairdresser. She has beautiful hair that doesn't seem to need anything more than a few strokes of a hairbrush. I don't remember her dying her hair black, but it seems like maybe a desperate attempt at a disguise after seeing that clip of the paparazzi chasing her down in the street. Thank goodness her baby wasn't injured when his poor little neck snapped back when she lost her footing. Britney should expect photographers to show an interest in her as an entertainer, but I feel badly for children who are exposed to that type of treatment that can be quite scary for a little one. Maybe she should have invested in better security that could have escorted her more under the radar, especially when she had her babies in tow. Thanks for another interesting episode, Cheere Denise. I wish you and your family a very Happy New Year! 🎉🥂

@lisamcg93 you say cynical, I think realistic. She absolutely was in the midst of a mental health crisis.... brought on or at the very least exacerbated by her drug use. She went to rehab after all. Can't do a hair follicle test when she ain't got no hair!

Well, I feel like pretending I don’t have the truth to comfort someone else’s confusion would be cruel. If I actually believe in what I SAY I believe in, wouldn’t you be more offended by me keeping it to myself? I don’t expect everyone to like everything about me and I am well aware that my relationship to the Lord costs me subscribers, but if it’s between the world and Jesus, I’m casting my lot with the Son of God.

By the way, if you can find the Chaotic docuseries, I highly suggest you watch it. This came out when I was in college and it was a source of INTENSE mirth for me and my friends. I’m talking the kind of laughter where you legitimately end up screaming and punchy because it’s just so freaking hilarious and pathetic and yet they take themselves SO seriously.

Its sad because it seems she's as emotionally detatched from herself as her parents were towards her. I don't know the inside of anyones heart.

It is so sad how Britney is addicted to love and being loved. That is why she always chooses the wrong man. Maybe it´s because of the devastating relationship with her father, that she has the need to feel protected by a strong man. But actually....her men have never been strong nor protected her :(

Another excellent review :) Now down to what I think, did Britney write this herself, or another form of ghost writer, I just wonder at that. There's a lot of REFLECTION and it is at this point all I see is a nicer version of Jada. The ability of women to try and rewrite their promiscuous past seem to be coming thick and fast these days and it comes in many shapes and forms. Some are very successful you can rewrite it to some degree but you'll never erase it. It seems the price to pay for innate ability and success is very high.

Hi Cheere. I wanted to clear up the Kabbalah remark. I grew up in Houston a Baptist. I ‘be lived 30 years in LA. I’m an energy healer doing healings based on the teachings of the Kabbalah and the Sanskrit. Half the Rabbi’s in Los Angeles are Kabbalistic mystics. That’s a fact. The art is over a thousand years old and extremely powerful. I was born clairaudient. Clairsentient. It’s very real.
@cheeredenise8 ай бұрын
Let me clear up my remark for you: Kabbalah is a distraction and a confusion for those looking for the truth. The spiritual realm is very real but I would tread carefully within that realm. Many a demon has come cloaked as an Angel of light. If there is any part of you that has ever been scared of what you’re currently into, run my friend. Please do not stay doing things your soul is asking you to quit. I’m praying in the name of Jesus Christ for clarity and overwhelming love from Him to you! ♥️

@@queenredspecial no shade! I follow Jesus Christ and I took Christ at His word when He said “I am the way, the truth, and the light, no one comes to the Father but by me” so it isn’t for me to say He just made that part up.

@@cheeredenise I fully respect your faith and your experience of the quest for Truth. What struck me in your comment to the poster who happens to practice Kaballah, (obviously I don't even know how to spell it, so I'm not biased in its favour,) 😆 was the way you told that poster that their faith is a distraction to Truth. It seems weird to me when anyone disrespects someone else's journey. It's such a personal thing, and no one has a higher claim on the path to Truth than anyone else (in my opinion.) That said, I do want to add that I don't believe Madonna's "faith" is the real thing, and I agree with you wholeheartedly about Hollywood's "spirituality."
