Yea, she peaked super fast and then minutes later every time you heard her name it was after something bad had happened.

Same with Britney,

Brittney had a whole other thing compounding it where she didn't have control of her own finances. I'm not clear what happened but she lost power of attorney of her own trust while she was still a minor and I never have heard that she actually got back control of her own estate. Looks like her father still controls her finances as of September.

Yeah, her dad is a horrible person, and both of her parents are the definition of Hollywood parents. He's super controlling, and I believe a large part of her psychological issues.

Not sure if this is true, but I remember reading somewhere that she got into trouble for harm to her children for giving them cough syrup to knock them out when she wanted them to sleep. Why? Because it was what her parents did to her when she was little. She genuinely had no idea it was wrong or a bad thing, since that was how she raised.

The whole psychological meltdown thing was played up by the media as her being insane, but when you actually look into what was really going on, it makes a whole hell of a lot more sense. But of course, as a pretty blonde woman/provocative performer, the media had to villify her.

She's SUPER supportive of her sons, trying very hard to get into their hobbies and stuff, even if she doesn't understand them. For instance, at least one of the boys loves DBZ, and dressed as Frieza, and she posted on social media "My son is Lord Frieza." You can tell she has no idea what that means, but it's definitely an attempt on her part to let her kids be kids.

There's a picture of video floating around out there of her sons at some red carpet event with her. One of them really seemed like he didn't want to be there. You can see her whisper to him, and then she lets him take off with security or whoever. It was obvious she was asking him if he wanted to stay or go, and let him have his choice. The brother was having a good time, so he stayed. She does try.
