Why, Britney, why...

I always feel melancholic when i read something about Britney and it turns out it's not great again. She was arrested recently for driving under influence. She came out but, still. Her posting strange videos or photos on instagram or her problems with the law. I guess this is already a pattern and i remember i wanted her free from her father's custody but, her being alone or not having anyone by her side, it's still the same. She's 44 already and i wonder will she ever be happy, content, settled and grounded. I know she's a celebrity, having a different life from us, only mortals and average people but you can't resist feeling sorry for her. What do you think about her in general and her current lifestyle?

The whole time people wanted her freed from her dad’s influence I kept thinking, do you remember what she was like before her dad became her guardian? She was in so much trouble. And she has shown she needs more help than she is getting.

@valherma00 Perhaps she needs a good psychiatrist.

that's right but i wonder why she told later it was really hard for her with him being there and i read somewhere, she is still afraid of him. i think he did something with her lady parts and had a complete control of her money but, yes, she was a real mess back then so, yeah. it's sad how she has a legal staff but noone to help her with her health. i think her going to nature or a ranch could do ger some good, away from big cities in general.

I recall reading somewhere that she is severely bipolar. Obviously, she is not getting the help she needs. I hope that can happen for her very soon.

@valherma00 Her actions are affecting not only her safety, but that of others, since she was arrested for DUI. She may be forced into treatment, counseling, etc.. Time will tell.

@MarieCoyle you are right. time will tell but it's not looking good for her and this shows that money can't buy health if we don't want to heal ourselves.

after so many year, i thought she would get better but her dancing with knives and so many unusual things, she is again crying for help and i really feel that a ranch or some isolated place would do her actual good.

I saw that article she was arrested for speeding and DUI. It's sad she is still causing herself harm. I'm hoping her sons can help her and she will settle down and accept help.

@valherma00 I was thinking how she does need out of the spot light and find something that can make her happy. Soon as this DUI happened, her ex began weighing in on it. He needs to remove himself from her life too.

it's all so messy. her ex husband who wanted her money, her sons maybe too. i mean, when i think about pamela anderson, how her boys are there for her, i wish the same for britney's boys also, it would be great if she could buy herself a ranch or something and that she could spend her days in peace. living in a big city, i feel her demons would always come back.

I really know very little about her but from what I've heard it is indeed very sad. She sounds really UNhappy in a way.

you're right, unhappy is the word and with her actions, i think she still seeks for help. i also know only what i've read online but i remmber this is happening for too long. i sometimes forget she was singer first.

This girl has a serious problem that needs to be addressed. One of the effects of fame at a young age.

you are right. we would think she will survive this but she's still struggling and maybe even more. i also wish her family is there for here; maybe they are but i don't feel it.

you said it all and i would add that maybe buying some ranch or some isolated place would do her good cause big cities mean only big troubles and temptations.

She was in a lot of trouble well before she wanted to get freedom from her father's custody. She seems not to be able to take care of herself.

@valherma00 - She surely has a mental problem and we know that there are no cures for that.

@valherma00 If they had a cure for mental problems, the poor Bruce Willis would have been cured.

I read about that this morning. I think she is totally messed up and needs professional counseling. I’m very sad for her.

it's sad how she became her illness. if only she could find some other place to live; a ranch or somewhere in the nature, maybe that would do her good.

I feel bad for Brittney since in her native Kentwood Louisiana home, the media in New Orleans were saying that she was one of the brightest artists when she started her rise to fame.

i also remember how they were all proud of her. i know the fame and hollywood ruined her but it's not too late and i think her coming back to her home town would be the best thing.

even though she has money, she is still at the beginning, i feel. if only she could reconnect to nature and find her peace there, on some ranch and similar places. that would be a good start for her, away from a big city and all.

@thelme55 i wish she had some better celebrity friends or just genuine people who could bring her to a right path. she's not old but it's about time to do something about her life.

Some people are trainwrecks and just can't stay out of trouble. Sadly, she appears to be one of those.

@Shivram59 that's really true. and it's not late to change but, it's on her. on the other hand, some people are desperate and can't afford the treatment like these celebrities can.

I'm not really fan of hers. I did like some of her music. When the whole free Britney happened, I was with everyone else. But now I realize that the movement was a bad idea. She does need help.
