ATRL Administrator Ryan Posted August 2, 2023 ATRL Administrator Share Posted August 2, 2023 ‘Where Is Britney Spears?’ - After her conservatorship ended, some of her fandom latched on to a new theory: What if she had never been freed at all? Summary: The article, written by Rebecca Jennings and published on Vulture, delves into the aftermath of Britney Spears' conservatorship and the conspiracy theories that have emerged among her fans. Following the end of her 13-year conservatorship in 2023, Spears' fans began to speculate about her well-being, particularly after she deleted her Instagram account. They interpreted certain posts as coded cries for help, such as a post featuring a Porsche 911 Carrera, which they saw as a plea to call 911. The article also discusses Spears' wedding to Sam Asghari, which some fans dubbed "the wedding from hell." They scrutinized the event for signs of foul play, pointing out the absence of Spears' children and the presence of seemingly random celebrities. The fans also questioned the quality of the photos and the choice of venue, Spears' home, which they referred to as her "prison house." Spears' Instagram has long been a source of speculation for fans, who look for hidden messages in her posts. This has continued even after the end of her conservatorship, with fans interpreting certain posts as signs that she is still in distress. The article concludes by noting that the Free Britney movement has always attracted extremist thinkers, including QAnon believers, and that the movement has been derailed by conspiracy theories.

Marry The Gods Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 She is free though. The problem is that britney fans expect Britney to return to her 2003 personality and that's just not realistic and not because of the trauma she's been through but because she is literally twenty years older. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moxcy Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) 14 minutes ago, Big Bad Wolf said: TLDR? summarized by miss chatgpt: Quote The article discusses the aftermath of Britney Spears' conservatorship, which ended more than a year ago. Despite this, some fans have developed a theory that Britney is not truly free and is still being controlled or manipulated. This theory was fueled by Britney's social media activity, particularly her Instagram posts, which some fans interpret as coded cries for help. One instance that sparked concern was when Britney deleted her Instagram account and posted a picture of a Porsche 911 Carrera, which some fans interpreted as a call to dial 911. This led to a group of fans contacting the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office out of concern for her safety. The article also discusses the role of Britney's husband, Sam Asghari, who some fans believe is exploiting Britney for her money. The wedding between Britney and Asghari was seen as suspicious by some fans due to the absence of Britney's children and the presence of seemingly random celebrities. The article highlights how Britney's Instagram has always been a source of speculation for fans, who look for hidden messages in her posts. This has continued even after the end of her conservatorship. The article concludes by discussing the extremist elements within the Free Britney movement, including conspiracy theorists and QAnon believers, and the impact this has had on the movement.

Tropical Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Okay I just read the article and it's mostly a whole lot of drivel around the various post-conservatorship conspiracies that have arisen. Quote Between viral Facebook-core image macros about positivity and self-love and cute photos of flowers or the phases of the moon, Spears dances, twirls, and shows off her bikinis and bralettes in dizzily edited videos and heavily filtered photos taken at unusual angles. I giggled at this. Anyway the article doesn't really reach any verdict than to point out that the Britney conspiracies are out of control and, for those who believe them, literally nothing will be enough to convince them otherwise. I feel like Brit definitely has some health issues (brought on by and exacerbated by years of trauma no doubt!) that might make her seem a little "odd" but for the most part she's fine.

Some fans have even suggested that Spears was replaced by an AI or a body double at her wedding. 7. **The Role of Crowd Surf**: Crowd Surf, a digital marketing firm that has worked with Spears since 2009, has been accused by some fans of manipulating Spears' Instagram to make her seem unwell. However, a source close to Crowd Surf has refuted these claims, stating that Spears is in charge of her social media content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOCK Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 The Kathy Hilton with one leg TikTok I’m waiting for the book. I’m hoping it’s contents will be clarifying enough for those in doubt, though it will undoubtedly bring forth an entire new wave of BAnon content. There’s no winning.

Trash Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 It's really not the fans, mostly I see faux concern and "content creators" exploiting these kind of rumors in order to gain views and some locals believe this stuff. I find it tacky and cheap. Whenever something like it shows up on my feed I just click on "Not interested in this post" I refuse to give them the views and attention they crave so badly. 1 hour ago, CBC said: i think the message she sent through manjobi was pretty clear This.

Shinning Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Britney fans have always been off their rocker.

Totami Legend Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) Fact: Britney is surrounded by snakes and evil people who "worked" for her in the past. For example, shady lawyer Laura Wasser (who she fired back in the day) is still working for her. Britney may be the one who wants to work with them, but people are allowed to be skeptical.

NausAllien Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 At some point, they need to stop treating Britney like a prisoner. She's already free. Now she can choose what to do with her life. Isn't that what everyone wanted? Just because she doesn't do the things that people expect her to do, it doesn't mean she's not doing on her own free will.
