She did not “lash out”. She stood in court and spoke her truth.

[jademonroe]

As a copy writer, I don't like that this video says she "lashed out, " in court. She advocated for herself in court. Don't undermine this fierce woman.

[maleeacasey]

I find it hard to believe it's her posting on her social media accounts, seeing how her actual BODY is under control. This is so inhumane and disgusting.

[zahedah]

"She lashed out" only adds to the media's narrative that she is out of control

[cztober]

I hope she reads up on conservatorships and files the 2 page request to terminate. She could even call a university and ask some law students to help her.

[tamara.]

If she doesn’t have control over her own body, do people think she’d have control of any social media.

[jamescoleman]

She doesnt CONTROL HER INSTAGRAM! Ffs you guys seem you didn’t LISTEN TO HER.

[bigbullet]

The economic hardship, recession, unemployment and the loss of job caused by covid pandemic is enough to push people into financial ventures .

[zapfanzapfan]

She needs a human rights lawyer. Amal Clooney maybe?

[debbierabe]

Britney, its your life, NO one should have control of you. I wish you the best of everything that you want. I wish you happiness. I hope you Never have to live in any fear or suffer anymore. Be good to Your heart, mind and soul, comfort them along with your children and significant other. ❤

It seems like everyone making the decisions has been on the payroll for all these years. I'm so glad Britney is finally getting some justice. Her bravery will be rewarded.

[cyndigomez]

I don’t understand why no one in her immediate family would help her??? We’re they all in it??? Even the mom???? They should all pay the She’s just to sweet and wouldn’t stick up for herself!!!

[atarilegend]

I wish Britney the best. I hope she has peace and happiness.

[miamisands]

she does not look healthy for being only 39

[seberavelil]

Let her free... And let the people see her moving out... and let's see all these things later ... She's not going to run away anywhere. ... Where is the world human rights and values team gone .... Nobody to voice LEAVE HER FREE ....

[lisasummer]

The lady said Britney “lashed out” in court like wtf?? Lashed out is NOT the word for it. This is why she’s stuck in a situation like this. Because of people like that. Not only does it make her look bad for fighting for her freedom, it doesn’t make anything better.

[deesandiego]

she has been drugged under supervision for years . stop this now .

[abundantlyspiritual]

Brittney deserves her Freedom which she never had, this can make any adult lose it. We are a society that encourages autonomy yet this same society failed her. She's an adult give Britney back her life.

[carrieanthony]

They need to leave her alone give her her money because she made it she is grown it's her body and other people take medicine and on drugs when they have kids but yet you're going to keep her from having kids come on now

[brendacrawford]

Britney’s like the Phoenix!! NO WORRIES Y’ALL!! GOD IS IN CONTROL!!!
