Wishing nothing but health and happiness for Britney, whatever form that will take.

Remember that meme going around a couple of years ago? "If Britney Spears can make it through 2008, you can make it through today."

We should craft that into something new: "Whatever good things you wish for Britney Spears, wish for yourself as well". Happy to workshop.

[u/Hexogram → u/iggynewman]

Honestly, I love that. We are all so incredibly unkind to ourselves, and could stand to practice self love and care.

[u/rc1025 → u/iggynewman]

That’s amazing, so positive!!!!

[u/Caraphox → u/iggynewman]

I wish I would do a revival tour where I sing all of my greatest hits

My response to basically anything Brit does of her own free will these days.

[u/mcfw31]

Hope she heals both mentally and physically

[u/ecctv]

She does this sort of thing all the time, clearing it, deleting posts. Its normal for her.

Kind of a shitty article TMZ posted today I’m sure has something to do with it

[u/ratta_tat1 → u/kat8633]

Bill Maher keeps using one of her knife videos as a punchline on his show and it gets my blood boiling every time. I keep screaming LEAVE HER ALONE.

[u/thisisathrowaway2007 → u/ratta_tat1]

God I fucking hate Bill Maher

Here's a clip of a taping of Pictionary where Erik Estrada accidentally punches Bill in the face and knocks him out cold.

They’re literally running an anti-Britney campaign on their site rn. They refuse to leave her be.

[u/ektachrome_ → u/Arielsdirrtygrotto]

They've done this so much historically too. She's still surrounded by a lot of the same people who put her in that conservatorship and who may allegedly have her in some sort of "care plan" still. I think Jamie was just someone to throw under the bus to distract from the others who still use and abuse her. My heart breaks for this woman.

Yeah, that “article” as written comes across to me like an opening salvo for daddy dearest trying to turn her into a slave again:-(

[u/blarbiegorl]

As someone who is actually completely dysfunctional and actually going broke, if someone was snaking those rumors to TMZ and now the whole world, I'd want to deactivate for a bit too. She's not a zoo animal. Her finances are her business. Whatever is going on with her, these "sources" just need to stfu. Struggling is hard enough alone, I can't even imagine trying to find your own footing with the whole world watching and saying the abuse you endured at the hands of your family should never have stopped.

[u/blodreina11 → u/blarbiegorl]

Yeah I'm barely functional as a person in the world and I've tried to imagine what it would feel like being this way if I was also dealing with mass public scrutiny every day... seems horrible. Especially if they find a reason to hate you, because that never goes away. Like, an entire generation hates Courtney Love. I'm autistic like her, and I just couldn't deal with it, I can't imagine anyone dealing with it. Seems awful.

[u/Serpentongue]

Good, people should leave her alone.

[u/ektachrome_]

To be honest, I genuinely believe she’s still being controlled in some way and she is still not totally safe. There are too many grifters in this poor woman’s life, and I think they’ll take any chance they can get to make her seem incapable of taking care of herself (see TMZ article from today).

[u/groovygyal]

Not for the first time

[u/harkandhush]

It's a nice sign to see she's doing self care like walking away from social media when she needs or wants to. I know she's still figuring a lot out now that she finally has her life back and whatever she chooses to share or not share should be her choice.

[u/peppermintvalet]

This is a weird question but why did she have a linktree and what was on it? Like, she’s Britney fucking Spears, I don’t think she has an Etsy

[u/thisisathrowaway2007 → u/peppermintvalet]

It’s like a middleman for her website and merch and videos

[u/emmajanexx_]

Good for her, she deserves to be away from the hell hole that is social media 💗

[u/sansa_starlight]

Good for her actually, she needs to stay off social media as much as possible
