A cursory glance at pop queen Britney Spears’ recent Instagram posts and you’ll get the sense that something is terribly off. The Toxic singer left her 25.2 million followers confused in the last week of June when she started posting images which look more like mug shots. She’s seen sporting the same three tops, and if you zoom in and look closely, you are bound to see that her pupils are shockingly small in size (which is a sign of heavy sedation). So, what’s going on with Britney Spears?
Since 2008, the singer has been under conservatorship arranged by her father, Jamie Spears, and a lawyer. A conservatorship is an arrangement meant for people who can’t take care of themselves, like senior citizens and minors. Effectively, Britney, who is 38, cannot drive a car, vote, get married, spend or see how her money is being spent, or even leave her home, or contact anyone without being monitored, without her father’s permission. Failing which, he can have her admitted to a mental health facility. Despite this, in the last 12 years, Britney has released four albums, done 3 world tours and launched multiple products.

We all know the public meltdown Britney went through in 2007 when she broke up with her husband Kevin Federline and shaved her head (which led to her temporary conservatorship in 2008). However, by the end of the year, it was made permanent by her father. Many fans believe that her father has been exploiting Britney for her money. In June 2019, he mentioned in a court statement that his relationship with his daughter has always been strained. Could it be possible that he is controlling Britney as well as her social media accounts?
Looking at Britney’s strange posts over the past few days, fans are now calling for a wellness check on her mental health. They are convinced that she’s sending out secret pleas for help.
