So, what are we about to
do right now? We are going to look into the twisted world of Free Britney. So, the reason I wanted to talk about this is
because a documentary recently came out talking about the situation, and now everyone's talking
about it. We have Britney Spears on the one hand, American superstar singer with a tragic turn
of events in her career. And on the other, there's a list of people, her fans claim
are controlling her behind the scenes. And so, this documentary that just
came out, Framing Britney Spears, is designed to look into that. So let's look into
that. But before we do that, let's do our comments shout out from our last video. D'Angelo is the CEO
of cat ears. I would accept this title any other day, but unfortunately I don't have the cat ear
headphones this time because I lost the other ear in a tragic fight against MrBeast. That's a
joke by the way, legally. I will fight MrBeast in hand-to-hand combat after the pandemic.
So, now that we've got that out of the way, let's actually talk about today's sponsor.
Today's video is sponsored by Raycon. You want wireless earbuds but you don't want to pay
wireless earbuds prices, then Raycon is just for you. They design premium wireless earbuds for
half the price and all the quality. Plus they come in whatever color matches your vibe.
Personally, I would go with all of them. Raycons are good for a reason. The
company was founded by musician, Ray J and the earbuds are loved by other musicians
from Brandy, to Melissa Etheridge, to Snoop Dogg, just to name a few. But to top it all off,
they still have a 45 day free return policy. My biggest personality trait is never facing the
music, but always listening to it, and Raycon makes that perfectly easy. I can take the vibes
with me, no screens, just me, good audio and my overwhelmingly sad playlist. So, if you're ready
for six hours of playtime, seamless Bluetooth pairing, a more comfortable and compact fit,
plus noise isolation, then click the link in the description or go to buyraycon.com/wallace

Free Britney. When do we want it?
Now. So, we started watching the documentary,
which was about the Free Britney movement. The movement wants to free Britney from
her conservatorship. A conservatorship is an agreement that lets another party control your
finances and life. Why do conservatorships exist? I understand that they've literally just said
this for elderly people. I'm not talking about being able to help somebody who needs your
help. It should be more limited than it is. So the documentary basically started off by
taking a look at the early life of Britney Spears. Same as always, they talk to
her childhood friends. By the way, she was the only wholesome person in this
documentary. And they looked at her early talent. How? When I was 10 years old, I was a
broke, no-money-having, no-job-having ten-year-old, and I should be ashamed.
You have the most adorable, pretty eyes. You have a boyfriend?
No, sir. Why not?
They're mean. Boyfriends? You mean all boys are
mean? I'm not mean. How about me? What? Did he just, "not all
men" a literal ten-year-old? Mom was just so sweet, so proud of her daughter.
And her dad too, was very proud of Britney. He was more concerned with the financial aspect of it.
How was he going to be able to make this happen? Encouraging your children to pursue their dreams
and providing them with the tools that they need to do so, is good. But approaching it financially,
I don't know about that one. Just because you have a talented child, do you need them to then
get record deals and drop music, and enter what literally everyone already knows is a toxic
world? Or could you just encourage them to learn how to sing and be their best outside of that? The
documentary then goes on to talk about how Britney Spears was sexualized on her early career.
Teenage girls want to be adult women, but they also are kids.
Why are we acting like this wasn't an image put onto her. She signed
the record deal. They made her this way. They were literally like, "Wear the schoolgirl uniform and
let's do this song." She was being sexualized. She was a child. I find that very strange.
She comes in the midst of the Clinton, Lewinsky scandal.
President Clinton had an affair. Sexual relationship with a
former White House intern. Who do you watch? The nice girl, the pretty girl
you can take home to mom, or the chief slutty girl you know puts out? Everybody goes for Monica.
It doesn't even matter what time period that was. When would that have not been super gross? Next,
the documentary looks at the factors that played into Britney Spears's mental breakdown, which they
largely attribute to the paparazzi. And I see why. It's hard to get out of it once you start making
the kind of monies that these guys were making. Is it Britney Spears's fault that you were
not making money off of your actual artwork? And so you decided to just stalk her instead?
I don't think so, but let's just keep going. You could tell she enjoyed it.
She would give it up the shots. She liked it because she sat there
basically, and took it. Okay, cool. It was like she needed us and we
needed her. We both needed each other. You tell yourself that, buddy. Whatever you
need to tell yourself to sleep better at night. I feel like I've been missing out.
Okay. I feel like I've been missing out on life. Like what part of life?
Life. So, they go on to explain that the paparazzi
starts stalking Britney Spears's new family. Oh, come on. She can't even get married.
The baby, that's very exciting. Now you have to be really excited about that.
Oh, oh, oh, aw. Everyone wanted a piece of Britney. The
tabloids were paying a lot of money. Unironically, how would this level of
stress not have some effect on you? And almost immediately there's the perception
from the tabloids that Britney is an unfit mother. Britney Spears must be paying
the babysitter overtime. Britney Spears went out and her baby was safe at
home. Bad mom of the year. So things are getting so bad that Britney Spears started lashing out.
She shaved her head. She attacked the paparazzi. And people started getting concerned.
I got a call from Britney's family law attorneys. And asked me if I would speak
to Britney because her father was trying to establish a conservatorship over her.
Britney was able to make the judgment, "Hey, I get what's going on. I get that I'm not
going to be able to resist this conservatorship or avoid this conservatorship." Right. So that's
a pretty sound judgment. The second thing was, she said, "I don't want my father to be
the conservator." That was her one request. We don't have proof, but I believe it. Especially
considering her dad was barely in this. All of a sudden she was making money
and then he appears out of the blue. The day that I went to court for her, the judge
said, "I've got a medical report and you haven't seen it, Mr. Streisand. And I'm not going to show
it to you." And it shows that she's not capable of retaining counsel and directing counsel
on her own. When the judge told me, "Mr. Streisand, I'm not going to let you
represent her. I'm going to appoint somebody," I felt that was not the right decision.
Let's say Britney Spears has a disability that severely impairs her judgment, does
not then give you control over her life. The next several years promised to be very
lucrative for the conservatorship estate. This conservatorship should be viewed
more as a hybrid business model. We got them out here in 4K, admitting that
this was never ever, ever, ever about Britney Spears's wellbeing and that it was always about
the money. Not to protect you or to help you, but because they were like, "This is business."
So her father continued to have control over her while she was obviously capable enough to
perform and make him money. But then, she suddenly canceled all of her shows and disappeared. But
people think they actually know where she is. Finally, the Instagram, which had been
dark, there's a meme. The caption says, "We all need to take time for a little me time."
Britney has been in the mental facility since mid-January. Of course, I'm just a
paralegal, I haven't had any contact with her, but what I understand, this
was not a decision she made. The Free Britney movement believes Britney's
being held against her will in a mental facility, which I kind of believe, and that she's trying
to leave hints on social media. I'm not saying Britney Spears is posting bizarre messages or
some sort of secret code, but that is weird. The other thing that I think we're seeing for the
first time is that she's sort of acknowledging the outside phenomenon of Britney Spears fans
coming out against the conservatorship. At this point in her life, Britney welcomes and
appreciates the informed support of her many fans. Britney herself is a vehemently,
opposed to this effort by her father... Wow.
To keep the legal struggle, hidden away in the closet as a family secret.
Isn't that crazy how Britney Spears could only say something through a legal document? And
unfortunately this documentary has no happy ending. Britney remains under the conservatorship
as a "high functioning conservatee". Ew. What? What does that mean?
So honestly, at this point, I just hope Britney Spears is happy. And if
not now, at some point in the future. I think everyone involved in this story is disgusting,
for lack of a calmer term. I just hope it has a happy ending at some point. There's not
even a joke I can really make about it. Anyway, I will be here all week at 2:00 PM Central
Time. If it's Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, that means I'm uploading a new video here. If
it's Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday, that means I'm going live over on Twitch. Basically, what
I'm saying is, I'll see you tomorrow. Unless, of course, tomorrow is Sunday, in which case,
just watch this video again. Free Britney.
Oh shit, is D'Angelo considered Breadtube? Am I just out of the loop lol
It’s Britney, comrades!
