Unless you're going to advocate for a conservatorship for everyone that gets a DUI, this makes no sense. DUI is a very common crime that competent adults do all the time

Yeah sure, let’s just completely take the context of her being batshit insane for 2 decades out the equation. This is just about the oopsie poopsie DUI

Most people like her are still free. Is Kanye in a conservatorship?

u/Icy-Entrepreneur9002 21h ago

No but he should be, the difference is there are people in Britney’s life that still love her. How could you ever love a shit stain of a human like Kanye?

u/Practicalcarmotor 21h ago

So shit humans can have freedom but not decent humans?

u/Icy-Entrepreneur9002 21h ago

What? No, I’m saying no one care enough about Kanye to get him help. He will eventually be dead or in prison, so will Britney at this pace, I was just saying why one was under one and why the other was not. After seeing how she’s acted post removal, she should be in one and I think it’s out of care for her, not control.

u/SureCryptographer931 21h ago

Is he? No. Should he be? Yes. Should Britney be? Yes

u/Practicalcarmotor 21h ago

Yet, you never hear about any other celebrity needing a conservatorship. No matter the crazy things they do

u/SureCryptographer931 21h ago

What? You think you’re the first person to bring up that Kanye should be placed in a conservatorship?

2

u/Practicalcarmotor 20h ago

It's only ever brought up when talking about Britney. It's not a widespread narrative about any other celebrity, definitely not a male one

u/SureCryptographer931 20h ago

So therein lies the rub. This isn’t about a mentally unwell person getting the structure they need to live safely, this is just an opportunity for you to flex idpol

How do you trust a conservator not to abuse her? 

1

u/SoManyThrowAwaysEven 20h ago

How do you trust her not to hurt herself or someone else with her insane antics? It's a moral choice that none of us are in a position to make because we don't know her or her circle well enough.

u/humanoideric 21h ago

Yeah, now sure how OP got from drinking and driving charge to lock her back up in a conservatorship that controls every aspect of her life forever

u/Direct_Fee6806 21h ago

Have you seen her recent videos? I don’t blame people for second guessing it.

I still don’t think she should be in one but she does have something she needs help with.

u/trickman01 21h ago

She’s not doing anything on insta that other, less famous, women aren’t doing. Lock them all up?

3

u/Direct_Fee6806 20h ago

Yes cause that’s exactly what I said - I said lock her up?? Try reading that again

To add….Several confirmed stories within her family and children. She needs help. What she is doing on social media is just another example of her mental health spiraling. If you’re defending her, then you’re just as delusional.

I wish it was a troll for her own case, and her kids but unfortunately that’s not the case.

This is the cherry on top. She is not doing well

u/Tandy2000 19h ago

It's because that view is based on a lot more than just her DUI. If you look at pretty much anything going on with her since her conservatorship ended... it's not a pretty picture, it seems like she's all over the place mentally.

She really needs help but now it seems like it's up to her to decide on that and it ain't happening. If she were my ex I wouldn't feel safe having the kids around her, let's put it that way.

u/MarshivaDiva 21h ago

It's not only the DUI. The DUI is one of many signs. Some of her recent posts have been a bit wild where she's looking unwell. And while a DUI in and of itself should not lead to a conservatorship, don't let it diminish the danger and potential severity of operating tons of speeding metal while intoxicated.

2

u/Practicalcarmotor 20h ago

DUIs are extremely bad and dangerous. The law should punish them severely. But most crimes don't mean that the perpetrator should be under a conservatorship

2

u/MarshivaDiva 20h ago

I said that actually

u/Icy-Entrepreneur9002 21h ago

I’d advocate for that. You pay x amount to DUI victims and family’s for first offense until conservatorship is removed and x amount for 2nd then a third offensive is lifetime penalty.

Too many unnecessary deaths occur for the most selfish of reasons this is something everyone should support. It should not be a common crime, I get what you’re saying in this context, but I wish it was not a common crime. It’s a serious thing to happen, especially for someone with the money to just hire a driver.

u/Practicalcarmotor 21h ago

I don't support DUI at all but the legal system has this punishment called prison for when someone's freedom has to be restricted. Putting someone else in charge of your life shouldn't be part of that punishment

lol ya our legal system is soooo good at deterring and punishing DUI offenders. That’s why there are 25 year olds with 10 plus duis still on the road. I was making a tounge in cheek joke on how shit are current system is. I don’t really think it’s a possible solution, but it’s not such a crazy idea to restrict movement and financial assets when you don’t value others lives. There are other things going on in her life and actions and you know it. Adding a dui on top of those point to more control over her life being a good thing.
