Can we handle her truth?
That was Britney’s question for her reality show ‘Britney and Kevin: Chaotic’. But can we really handle it?
I can believe that a lot of people may be shocked about what they have seen; Britney who obviously looks very lonely and even asked other people about their favourite sexposition?!? It was something we totally didn’t expected. I know, we have always said that we know that she’s a normal person with the same needs we all have. Even I did. But I think I never understood it. I said it and I thought I knew, but I didn’t. The show has really opened my eyes; Britney is just a young woman who want to be loved. But I can believe it was too shocking for a lot of people about the way she expresses that. Even I was surprised about the way she spokes about intimate questions, even though I come from Holland where it’s normal to speak open about your sexuality. Because hey, lets face it. What’s so wrong about that?
Possibly that’s the reason why people may be shocked about the show. You have an image of somebody for years now. Someone you looked up to. And you know, it is just a normal person. But one way or the other you still have got a person in your head who is created by the media, even when you think you totally know her. The show reflected that she isn’t the person who you thought she was. The ideal image, the person you looked up to, doesn’t exist. Maybe you find her annoying like the way she does her things now. But let me tell you; you act differently when you’ve got a camera in your hand en you’re filming yourself or others. Sometimes you act crazy or you ask questions to people which you normally don’t ask. You can say it’s like chatting on the computer. You can say en ask everything you like without being ashamed.
So did we saw the real Britney? Yes we did. But only in an extreme way. She definitely won’t be like that all the time. Just when the camera is on. The things she said are things which you talk about with good friends or family and not with the whole world. But Britney didn’t know that this video would be broadcasted all around the world! Just think about it; that your home video will be broadcasted around the world for everybody to see. I bet you will not do that, because you would be ashamed about it. At least, I would.
I find it brave what Britney has done. Otherwise, I don’t know if it was wise. Some fans will be disappointed. Or some will be disappointed but don’t say it. I have learn about it that Hollywood is just a big lie. I was also disappointed. Not because of Britney, but for believing is someone for years who didn’t exist. But I’m happy I saw the real Britney for the first time. And I’m glad Kevin is in her life now, ‘cause I was really worried about the things which you saw in the beginning of the episode. All the marriage, commitment and sex questions? They were just reflections about the fact that she was lonely. ‘Cause why all those intimate questions? It’s easy to tell; people who talk about it very much, are the people who really miss those things where they talking about. Therefore thank you Kevin, for being there for her. For me?I just start all over again with being a fan, but this time without Hollywood on my side. I hope the rest will do too.
Love,
