It is difficult to not look at Britney Spears (on Instagram) and see a girl who has come undone from all the control wrought on her throughout her life.

The poor pop star has had a tough time and despite the 13-year-long conservatorship having come to an end, and her marrying and starting a new life away from the prying eyes of her father and co., she doesn’t appear to be all that well.

While I prefer to remain unassuming when it comes to gossiping about the lives of celebs – we do not know them or their lives, in actual fact – Britney’s story is so convoluted it’s hard not to comment.

It doesn’t help that she’s continually doing odd things on Instagram – or perhaps just expressing herself freely (finally) – while TikTok has started some freaky conspiracy about her Instagram being run by a deepfake or CGI version of herself where in actual fact she’s being held against her will again.

We’ll leave that one alone for now, because in more pressing news, she’s apparently in desperate need of an intervention, with family and friends saying that it’s a matter of life or death, per TMZ:

TMZ broke the story … the intervention that was planned would include her husband, Sam Asghari, her manager and medical professionals. Her manager rented a house in the L.A. area where the intervention would go down, and the plan was for Britney to live there for around 2 months to get better, but someone in her camp pulled the plug on the plan.

As a result of her alleged mental illness and substance abuse, people are saying that Britney’s behaviour has become “increasingly erratic and volatile” to the degree that she needs professional help ASAP:

“The intervention was long overdue. She is very much a danger to herself and those around her. It’s a ticking time bomb. Thank god somebody finally took some steps to do something about it.”

Another source says, “I worry about waking up in the morning and feeling like I’m going to get a horrible phone call.”

A third source says, “This is 2008 all over again. There is serious fear she is either going to die or kill someone. She is abusing caffeine, Adderall, and anything she can get her hands on. She is not taking her medication, which is essential to stabilize her mood and is unknowingly trying to self-medicate with other substances, which is exacerbating her mental illness.”

The fact that the plug was pulled on the intervention is alarming those close to her, claiming that the decision “may well be life-threatening”.

The sources said that she needs a therapist to help her work through her “unbelievable untreated trauma”.

TMZ was further told she’s taking meds that “hype her up” (caffeine and Adderall) and that she’s been “flying off the handle” with increasing regularity and is “not taking the medications that stabilise her”.

Although the intervention was scrapped, Britney did apparently meet with a doctor, which “went well”.

This is all following the gossip about her being spotted at a restaurant near her home last month where witnesses claimed she was acting “manic”.

I mean she was being ferociously filmed by patrons while she tried to enjoy a meal – you can barely blame her for reacting to not getting any privacy or peace.

Shame, all we can do is hope she will be alright.
