someone posted the kimberly foster/for harriett video about Britney recently and she praised this article:

honestly I don't mind this article. I have similarly mixed feelings about her controversial first rolling stone cover story. Yes, the writing might have negative real-life consequences or might be in bad taste (and they certainly don't read the same now as they did then), but as pieces of writing, they do the job of creating an evocative image and a reflection of the time. Of course, this does raise the questions of how much responsibility writers should take for the (unintended?) impacts their writing has, especially over time.

i wish she had left her nose alone
she was so freaking pretty

sadteenager July 22 2021, 04:10:22 UTC

yeah she literally had the perfect nose and smile and both are fucked up now :( but honestly I'm inspired by how britney embraces her looks.

Her nose job somehow aged her too. Her old nose was perfect for her face

I can't help but think all this media attention, though it's positive is still triggering her. She probably just wants to live her life like a normal person and maybe move to Hawaii idk.

If the media actually cared about Britney and her case they would stop publishing non court related articles and photos immediately. She's made it perfectly clear she wants to be left alone.

I'm not normally this anti-press lol but man it's just annoying as heck.

tobago_88 July 22 2021, 02:52:38 UTC

Sadly I don't the the media will ever leave her alone :(

missjersey July 22 2021, 02:54:25 UTC

Oh no way, unfortunately. I hope when she's free she can move somewhere far away where she can be happy with Sam and her kids.

I just can’t wait for our girl to be free. Seeing her driving and playing songs for Sam really lit my heart up because she’s always said she LOVES driving to destress and I can totally relate. Hopefully she takes a few years for herself, watch her kids graduate and all that then, do what she wants. Be it music, a tell all that she’s always said she’s going to write, or just….nothing at all.

tobago_88 July 22 2021, 02:54:27 UTC

As a fan I literally don't expect anything from her at all anymore. She's given this world enough tbh.

richyrich909 July 22 2021, 02:56:32 UTC

Exactly. I do hope she can get married and have a baby when she wants to once that thing is removed from her. ☹️

tobago_88 July 22 2021, 03:02:19 UTC

I feel like she will, but I can't help but think how crazy the media will get if she gets pregnant again.

The early 2000s tabloid culture was horrific and Britney went through the worst of it. She had a mental breakdown in front of the world and the reaction from the media was to mock her for it.

I wish she’s free and able to do what makes her happy. She deserves it

anterrabre July 22 2021, 03:10:33 UTC

I mean, why she gotta be an "inbred swamp thing?" That's a pretty specific insult that doesn't sit right with my spirit.

rissa_delovely July 22 2021, 04:45:09 UTC

Makes me wonder how different the insult would look (if there was an insult at all) if it wasn't popular knowledge that she's from Mississippi/Louisiana tbh
