And how about the fact that she looked like she was on a combo of prozac, xanax, zoloft and possibly every other prescription med out there. You can be nervous, yes, but that glassy-eyed stare is NOT nervousness.
The stress of divorce/custody/problems with her fam/etc etc? Can you say "brought on to herself"? She married an asshat, she divorced the asshat, she threatens her mom with a restraining order, she parties 24/7... i could say much more. This is a woman who makes 750k a damn month! She has the money to get to rehab, have the best trainers, the best doctors, the best people to take care of her kids (since apparently she is unable to do it herself) and yet acts like a piece of trash. I'm sorry i just don't buy the "poor Britney, her life is so hard, wah wah wah" deal. There are a lot of single mothers out there who go through worse shit than she does, with a hell of a lot less money to do it. She made her bed, well she's lying in it now.
As for body thing, i think most people (well at least most of the ones i talked to) are not saying her body in general is shit, just that if you don't yet have the body to prance around on stage in a bra and matching panties, then put on something a little less revealing and look like a million dollars! |
I get what you are saying but people can only take so much criticizing. YOu can only act like you dont care for so long, and altough you need to have tough skin to be in this bizniz, its really hard to tell someone to "just deal with it" when she has to deal with it daily. Not ONE of us can say we know what it feels like because we arent in that position, so who are we to tell them to "suck it up."
And to say that the stresses of her own life, which are pretty severe to ANYONE: divorce, possibly losing her children, losing her career/fame, struglling with addiction, family issues all combined can lead to ANYONE's meltdown, let alone someone in the spotlight with everyone criticizing her. Yes, she made poor decisions, dont we all? And people cant change those decisions over-night, it takes time to work through that shit, and often people will fall down (ie: self-destructive behavior to cover the pain) before they realize that they need to fix whats wrong. She isnt gonna get over her failed marriage, etc overnight, and right now it seems she aint dealing with shit in the proper way. Most people will eventually get their heads outta their asses eventually. And trust me, I know people who go through the same of worse (and with less money), I AM a therapist, it IS my job and I understand peoples struggles with everyday shit.
Yes, she should have worn a different outfit, and YES her performance sucked to the nth degree, but seriously people need to leave this chick the hell alone, and ALSO realize that money doesnt always FIX emotional issues. People with money often have a herder time coping because they are used to having everything handed to them and when they are asked to go thru something HARD its often difficult to get them to commit.
And no, I dont feel like "boo-hoo britney", but I guess as working with people everyday with similar struggles, I can see that when all of this stress comes at once, I COMEPLETELY understand her erratic behavior (You would not believe how MANY people display similar behaviors in the midst of a breakdown), and realize that she is exhibiting defense mechanisms in dealing with her total metal collapse. Some people are just better with dealing with shit and she obviously doesnt know how to cope with her own shit at the moment. That doesnt mean the media/etc should make it worse, she is still a fakin human ffs, even if she is on another level than us "normal" folks.
