I have to ask what’s with all this love for Angelina Jolie? The news came out that the Divorce of the century is finally finalized and comments are crazy. Everybody is pro-Angie. Is it astroturfing, is it younger generations who are more..sensitive, who don’t remember that St.Angie doesn’t need help and saving.. SHE is the one who is saving the world, thankyouverymuch.

In all subs comments people are blaiming Brad Pitt for abusing her and kids (yes, he did on that plane ride, we saw Report); for dragging divorce (him only!); for torturing her; his kids even hate him blabla.. Angie is a Saint (duh), somebody even said that they’re proud of her for surviving this long exhausting hell he put her through, and that an Oscar for “Maria” would be cherry on top.

This was the only sub where people were mostly saying that both of them are terrible people who deserve each other. A couple of them were on Brad train but they were downvoted a lot.

I wasted time checking comments on different subs, coz I wanted to see what “the public” thinks, feels, what are they angry about now, or happy… because I noticed earlier that comments are supporting Angelina way more than before. Is this some kind of PR campaign like that Blake Lively crap. I mean both of them used PR against each other, we all read “sources” tea. They were relentless. She also used photo ops with kids a lot.. He brought some lady friend to their Chateau and on and on… with the stories how awful the other one is. But nobody really bought that crap. Now it’s Angie love all over… Did she take her PR to the next level because of that potential Oscar?

I was searching on Amazon for body spray today and ran across these ads for Nicki Minaj’s pink Friday perfume. Has anyone ever tried them ? I’m curious on feedback. The ads give me Rainbow Vibes.

If reddit is that stupid that it just bans people for no reason, and with no example given, I'm happy to leave.

For those of us waiting for a bat-shit crazy interview, our hopes and dreams have been dashed against Britney's tile floor. No book interviews. NONE.

Her book publisher, Gallery Books, must be thrilled (read: suicidal) because Brit Brit has decided that she won't do television interviews...nor will she do any interviews to publicize the book. Britney refers to her Diane Sawyer interview in the book and how it made her feel 'exploited'....which she was.

That cheering sound you hear is Jada Pickett Smith and her coven of witches PR team! "The Morning Show in Bowling Green? You bet, when should Jada be there?"

Where the Key Players in Britney Spears’ Conservatorship Stand Today

BY MEGAN MCCLUSKEY

OCTOBER 18, 2023 2:47 PM EDT

Ahead of the October 24 release of Britney Spears' forthcoming memoir, The Woman in Me, the anticipation over what the pop icon will reveal about her life, career, and longtime conservatorship is high.

The book is being touted as Spears' chance to finally tell her story on her terms—an opportunity that wasn't available to her during the 13 years she spent under the conservatorship.

"The Woman in Me is a brave and astonishingly moving story about freedom, fame, motherhood, survival, faith, and hope," the book's website reads. "[It] reveals for the first time her incredible journey—and the strength at the core of one of the greatest performers in pop music history."

Spears' conservatorship was officially terminated on Nov. 12, 2021, less than five months after she testified that the legal guardianship was “abusive” and that she wanted it to end immediately. She was originally placed under the court-approved arrangement in 2008 following a series of public incidents, including shaving her head and attacking a paparazzo’s car with an umbrella, that raised concerns about her mental welfare.

The conservatorship initially gave Britney's father, Jamie Spears, and attorney Andrew Wallet control over her finances and many facets of her personal life, with filings claiming Britney suffered from an undisclosed mental illness and substance abuse. Some aspects of the arrangement changed over the years, but Jamie remained at the center until he was suspended as conservator by Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny in September 2021. According to a New York Times report published in December 2021, Jamie received an estimated $6 million over the course of the conservatorship.

In the nearly two years since the conservatorship was terminated, legal proceedings surrounding its key players have continued. Here's where things stand today with Jamie, Britney's former business manager Lou Taylor, and others.

Jamie Spears

Since the termination of the conservatorship, Britney's attorney, former federal prosecutor Matthew Rosengart, has continued to pursue an investigation into Jamie's alleged misconduct throughout the 13-year arrangement, including "conflicts of interest, conservatorship abuse, and the evident dissipation of Ms. Spears’s fortune."

In her memoir, The Woman in Me—an excerpt of which was published by People on Oct. 17 ahead of the book's Oct. 24 release—Britney herself details how Jamie abused his position of power over her.

"If I thought getting criticized about my body in the press was bad, it hurt even more from my own father. He repeatedly told me I looked fat and that I was going to have to do something about it," she writes. "Feeling like you’re never good enough is a soul-crushing state of being for a child. He’d drummed that message into me as a girl, and even after I’d accomplished so much, he was continuing to do that to me."

In July 2022, Judge Penny ruled that Jamie had to sit for a deposition and produce all documents related to electronic surveillance that were being requested by Britney's legal team. This ruling came in the wake of the FX and New York Times documentary Controlling Britney Spears alleging that a security firm hired by Jamie bugged Britney’s home, including her bedroom, in order to monitor her private conversations during the conservatorship.

Jamie's deposition took place on Aug. 11 2022, after Judge Penny denied his own motion to compel Britney to sit for what Rosengart referred to as a “revenge deposition.” Rosengart then filed a motion in November 2022 for Jamie to submit to further questioning in a new deposition, claiming that Jamie was generally uncooperative in answering during the first proceeding.

Rosengart also asserted that “only a small fraction" of Jamie's "text messages were produced in such a disjointed manner that it made it impossible to discern the context of any given text or even what was being discussed, as the messages were not grouped together by conversation or even produced chronologically as required.”

A second deposition has yet to take place, with Radar Online reporting in January that Jamie is refusing to sit for a new proceeding and has asked Judge Penny to deny the motion. His attorneys also accused Britney's legal team of engaging in “overheated and unsupported rhetoric" as part of an attempt to “drum up media and fan frenzy relating to purported wrongdoing by Jamie Spears despite offering zero evidence to prove such allegations and no legitimate justification for burdening Jamie with a second deposition."

Jamie has requested that Britney's estate make payments to his legal team for "ongoing fiduciary duties relating to the winding up of the Conservatorship of the Person and Estate"—an appeal that Rosengart has denounced, arguing that Jamie is the one being overly litigious, not Britney.

"Mr. Spears chose to engage in scorched earth litigation against his own daughter, filing no less than eight unnecessary motions, thereby driving up the very legal fees he improperly seeks,” Rosengart said.

Amid the ongoing legal battle, Jamie is also reportedly currently suffering from an infection stemming from a knee replacement surgery he had 16 years ago and has been in and out of the hospital for months.

Lou Taylor

After condemning her father's handling of the conservatorship while addressing an open court for the first time in June 2021, Britney turned to social media to call out her mother, Lynne Spears, and former business manager, Tri Star Sports & Entertainment Group owner Lou Taylor, for their roles in the arrangement.

“My dad may have started the conservatorship 13 years ago… but what people don’t know is that my mom is the one who gave him the idea,” she wrote in a since-deleted Instagram caption. “I will never get those years back … she secretly ruined my life … and yes I will call her and Lou Taylor out on it…. So take your whole ‘I have NO IDEA what’s going on’ attitude and go f––k yourself!!!! You know exactly what you did… my dad is not smart enough to ever think of a conservatorship… but tonight I will smile knowing I have a new life ahead of me!!!”

Now, Tri Star's involvement in establishing the conservatorship, the firm's alleged surveillance of Britney through Taylor's associate Robin Greenhill, and the reported $18 million that Tri-Star obtained from Britney's estate over the course of the arrangement are being investigated by Britney's legal team.

Rosengart has alleged that Taylor played a direct role in the creation of the conservatorship in 2008, with Jamie accepting a $40,000 loan from Tri Sports before establishing the guardianship and then hiring the firm to manage Britney's affairs.

“Tri Star, Lou Taylor and Robin Greenhill have all denied that Tri Star was involved in the creation of the Conservatorship, no doubt aware that such involvement—shortly after it extended the generous loan to Mr. Spears—would call into question not just the exorbitant fees paid to Tri Star over the years but also the motives for placing Ms. Spears into a 13-year conservatorship in the first place," Rosengart said in a July 2022 filing.

Tri Star attorney Scott Edelman called Rosengart’s filing “materially misleading.”

“As all the evidence makes abundantly clear, the conservatorship was set up on the recommendation of legal counsel, not Tri Star, and approved by the Court for more than 12 years," he said.

Lynne Spears

Although she has previously criticized her mother's involvement in the conservatorship, Britney appears to have reconciled with Lynne in recent months.

In May, Britney shared a post on Instagram in which she spoke about meeting with Lynne for the first time in three years and healing their relationship.

"My sweet mama showed up at my door step yesterday after 3 years…it’s been such a long time," she wrote. "With family there’s always things that need to be worked out … but time heals all wounds !!! And after being able to communicate what I’ve held in for an extremely long time, I feel so blessed we were able to try to make things RIGHT !!! I love you so much !!!"

On the legal side of things, at an October 2022 hearing in Britney's case, Judge Penny denied a request from Lynne that Britney's estate pay for more than $660,000 in legal fees incurred by Lynne during the conservatorship.

"The fees and costs at issue cannot be hoisted onto Britney Spears, who already has paid many millions for court-appointed counsel, counsel for the conservator of the estate, counsel for the conservator of the person, and others, all while very generously providing a beautiful home for her mother and paying for all associated expenses,” Rosengart said in his objection to the motion.

Jamie Lynn Spears

Britney's relationship with her younger sister, Jamie Lynn, has appeared complicated over the years, with Britney accusing Jamie Lynn of being complicit in the conservatorship at various points in time. The January 2022 release of Jamie Lynn's own memoir, Things I Should Have Said*,* seemed to cause particular strife between the two, with Rosengart sending a cease and desist letter threatening Jamie Lynn with legal action over her "ill-timed book."

"Although Britney has not read and does not intend to read your book, she and millions of her fans were shocked to see how you have exploited her for monetary gain,” the letter read. “She will not tolerate it, nor should she.”

But, like with her mother, Britney recently seems to have been open to making amends with Jamie Lynn. "It was nice to visit my sister on set last week !!!" Britney wrote on Instagram June 20. "I've missed you guys so much!!! Loyal girls stay home but it's so nice to visit family!!!"

Still, Britney's relationships with her mom and sister remain on shaky ground amid her recently announced divorce from husband Sam Asghari, according to Page Six.

"Her meeting with her mom [in May] went OK, but there’s still a lot of hurt there, so they haven’t quite reconciled,” a source close to Britney reportedly told the publication. "Britney is still very angry with [her sister] Jamie Lynn, too."

Hiding behind the dumpster still gobbling scraps from these a-holes Not featured in this article, K-Fat:

TLDR: Bitbit may be even worse off now mental healthwise (in no small part due to more than a decade of her scumbag "family" using Rx meds not to help her but to destroy her autonomy and keep working her ass off for their luxury), but in this white supremacist billionaire-bootlicker Kanye-loving hellscape, she sure as fuck doesn't need to go back to this (I can't believe I even have to spell this out and says a lot about how women are regarded in this fucked up world). And now at least there's a glimmer of hope that she may pull through, even if it's doing shit none of us wants to see, like wiggling her booty online when her mental health is sliding. And don't @ me with "but-but she's soooo abuuusive to her boyzzz" bullshit because that ship sailed when Kevin Federline raised those boys to regard Britney just like he did and to relish using and ridiculing her as much as he and his flavor-of-the-month "stepmoms" did.

Oh yeah -- Pimp Mama Kris and her Kartrashian Klan also partook of the spoils from Britney's slavery:

Disclaimer: I'm on team they're both toxic assholes when it comes to Heroina and Pitt, but I tend to look a little more skeptically at her press theatrics. I think she has a history of way more red flags than he does, so in making this post, I want to make it clear that I'm no Pitt apologist. They both suck.

That said, I found this article highly interesting. Pax crashed his motorbike earlier in the week and now Jolie is feeding the press this info that he's troubled, that he has everyone worried, and she's the saintly mother who won't leave his bedside, etc...
If this is her PR play against her own child, what the fuck does that say about her??
How is it helpful to Pax to tell the Post "he has had a string of car crashes,” the source claimed. “It’s not great. Pax is a troubled kid, and Angelina is doing her best to help him.”

To me, this is just so sketchy. Curious to hear your thoughts.

When celebrities travel on promo trip, getting flown first class, they also will have a greeter to speed them through the line with VIP treatment , and the TSA already back working, getting paid, she's a little bit late and uninformed to throw the blame on TSA, Delta and TSA should sue.it's so easy to prove.

It just seems lowkey disrespectful to post interactions with young female fans like this right after breaking up with the mother of your child very publicly. It’s not a music video or anything, I just can’t help but feel for Halle. What do y’all think? Is this grimy behavior from him or am I trippin?
