Defending Britney Spears Against The Masses
I get all kinds of emails. Most are nice and offer words of praise, some are looking for something and then there’s the email I received from Jordan at BreatheHeavy.com.
Since Jordan didn’t stipulate the email was not for publication, and hasn’t responded to my response, I am going to go on the record about my most recent post about Britney, a post which seemed to have enraged a few people. From Jordan’s email:
I never send emails out like this. It’s exhausting to defend her against every blog, so I don’t. BUT wishing death on anyone is sadistic and cruel and you should be ashamed of yourself.
You base your judgments off what you see on the Internet. You have NO idea what goes on in her life, and have NO idea what she really has been dealing with for months now. So for you to sit and type out of your ass, really pisses me off.
Hopefully you are not as dense and thick headed in real life as you portrayed yourself in that post.
The email itself was addressed to our tech guy, so that means Jordan took the time to get contact info from the domain information available, as there was some reference at the end which included a zip code. I am assuming that was meant to be some kind of subtle threat, as in “I know where you live, a**hole.” Great, I am sure some innocent guy who does coding feels really great about your sleuthing skills, but let’s get to the issue at hand: defending Britney against death-wishers.
My post, while extreme and pointed, in no way wished death on Britney. I, like any feeling human, would be saddened by the death of a young mother with her whole life ahead of her. Truly. But Britney isn’t just some young mother. Britney Spears is a public figure - perhaps the most famous public figure in recent years. And she is systematically and without fail, writing her demise before the world at large.
Either by ignorance or sheer spite, Britney has refused to see what every other single human being observing her sees: a disturbed mess.
If Britney were some kind of meth-addicted, homeless mother who had neither the resources, nor the support to get her act together, then a case could be made for feeling sympathy. But instead, Britney has chosen a path of destruction, and at the very heart of that path is her children. Two innocent little boys are caught in the middle of not only an acrimonious divorce between two immature people, but the very apex of their mother’s disintegration.
There is not ONE shred of doubt in my mind, Britney, is at this moment insane. It could stem from some sort of chemical imbalance, personality disorder, or degenerative condition brought on by the stress of her life. Who knows? But what we do know is that many people who love her have desperately tried to help her. People in her family, her inner circle, her fans and in the media have all been saying the same thing. Get help. You are sick. You aren’t well.
And, as we have seen, Britney has shut each and every one of them out of her life simply because they refused to blindly allow her to flush her life away. That’s not just foolish, that’s selfish. Tremendously selfish. I have dealt with tremendously selfish people who have the gall to expect those who care about them to throw their lives away. It goes beyond irritating to the point of hatred.
While I am no fan of Britney’s music, at no point did I ever dislike. That all changed this last year, and Britney’s actions have pushed me (and many others, based on the outpouring of disgust) over the edge. Britney will not get any sympathy or apologies from me until she actively chooses to put her well-being and that of her children at the top of her list of priorities.
And based on her behavior in the above video, that’s not likely.
