Is Britney Spears Capable Of Consenting To Sexual Relations? And Where The Hell Are Her Parents?
I had an epiphany of sorts this week. A strange mixture of revulsion and pity swept over me as I pictured Britney in her hyper-sexualized, manic-driven, deranged state complying with her new “boyfriend” Adnan Ghalib’s sexual advances.
As far as I am concerned, Britney is INCAPABLE of making rational, sane and healthy decisions about her life right now. This is not to say she isn’t manipulating the media, behaving in a willfully bratty and selfish way, but those random acts of defiance should not be confused with the sanity the rest of us count on to make appropriate decisions about our lives.
My assertion is Britney is being sexually abused by anyone who chooses to engage in relations with her at this time, this ESPECIALLY includes her new boyfriend - who I will take a step further and state, if Adnan IS in fact engaging in intercourse with Britney, it is NOT consensual and could qualify as rape.
I realize this is a strong statement, but please allow me to explain.
Britney is currently undiagnosed as having any sort of mental disorder. We really don’t know what’s going on in her mind, and have no way of really knowing how aware she is of her own actions. However, this does not mean we can’t make sound arguments for making a case that she is INDEED suffering from some sort of mental illness.
In the past year alone the world at large has witnessed Britney make the following “questionable” decisions in her public life - heaven only knows what she does in private.
Britney has repeatedly been seen in public with no underwear on and has allowed her private areas to be photographed. Most recently, she exposed her private area while clearly having some sort of feminine hygiene issue related to her menstrual cycle. I am trying to not be crude, but really now, was that necessary?
Britney has held her children hostage and been admitted to a mental facility for evaluation of her mental status.
Britney has repeatedly missed important legal engagements as pertaining to the custody of her two young children.
Britney has been seen driving erratically, dangerously and without a clear destination or purpose.
Britney has been labeled a “frequent and habitual” user of drugs by a court of law.
Britney has systematically cut all ties with those who’ve provided protection and guidance for her career and personal life when she was the most successful entertainer on the planet.
Britney has graced more tabloid magazine covers than any other celebrity in 2007, and likely more than any other celebrity EVER. Oddly, her stories, however bizarre sounding they are, turn out more often than not to be TRUE.
Britney has endangered her children through reckless behavior ranging from leaving them unattended to by a swimming pool, not properly strapping them into their carseats, going through stop signs, red lights, or driving well past the speed limit, WHILE having a court-ordered monitor with her while her children are in her custody.
Britney shaved her head.
Britney entered rehab twice, once for 24 hours, once for 27 days. Yet we still don’t know what drugs she has abused in order to explain her bizarre and chaotic behavior.
Britney speaks in different languages which only she understands, as well as, uses accents at random.
Britney’s moods range from elated, hostile, sad and wild all with in the same time period.
Britney single-handedly sabotaged her own music career by willfully and callously giving the worst public performance by a star of her caliber EVER.
Britney clearly equates notoriety with fame and popularity. They are one in the same to her, despite the very negative public perception she has created through her own actions.
I am sure I could go on and list several other examples of behavior which exhibit a very clear and distinct deterioration of her mental faculties, but it would be beating a dead horse. Few people at this point who are even vaguely aware of Britney Spears don’t think she suffers from a mental illness. Truthfully, it’s a foregone conclusion.
So for the sake of this argument, let’s say Britney is mentally ill. This country has laws which protect the mentally ill, the mentally challenged, the elderly, the disabled and minors under the age of consent (the age varies by state) from being physically, psychologically or sexually abused by those who are fully aware of their depreciated mental state or lack of maturity. Britney clearly suffers from all of these afflictions. She may be a 26 year-old adult, but I contend she has the mental abilities of a six or seven year old and would anyone think it’s okay to engage in sexual relations with a child, a retarded person, an Alzheimer’s patient, a comatose person, or someone who was mentally disturbed?
No, at least no decent, moral person.
If this were my adult child, I wouldn’t stand on ceremony and let someone sexually abuse them without putting up some kind of very serious fight. I would have to be put in jail before they could stop be from coming between my child and lecherous leaches of the likes of Adnan Ghalib and her “manager” Sam Lufti.
Who knows what steps Britney’s parents are taking to help her? So far the only thing we’ve seen is her mom and dad call Dr. Phil in to talk to her. That turned out to be a really useless effort. I don’t see Jaime Spears (Brit’s dad) punching Adnan in the face, kicking Sam Lufti in the nutsack or any other obvious, but normal reaction a caring parent would have in a similar situation.
I am not advocating violence (ok, maybe I am) but to stand by and do nothing as your little girl is being taken full advantage of in every way possible is too much for me to bear. These people, all of them, her parents, brother, sister, ex-associates, record execs, that asshole at Breatheheavy for continuing to defend her actions, and the two most treacherous knuckledraggers themselves Adnan and Sam should be dealt with in the most barbaric and draconian of ways.
If I ain’t being too subtle.

Fully agree! Great article. More people should question why nothing is being done about this mess. ANS slipped through the cracks supposedly because no one was watching her back (i.e. Family) these schmucks have made millions on the back of their supposed wholesome family unit (didn;t they write a book??)……I am sure if enough pressure was brought to bear the ever coiffed and youthful looking Mrs. Spears might take a day away from the manicurist to help her daughter.

You are soooo right! Britney’s parents need to get their heads out of their asses and help her! She is begging for help through her actions and no one is doing anything. It has gone from from funny to just plain sad.
Comment by S.Rod — January 18, 2008 @ 1:03 pm
Her parents are clearly incapable of doing anything, there is only one person I can think of who can help and that is the commissioner in her custody case. I pray he does find a way to force her to get treatment.
Comment by Rappy — January 18, 2008 @ 1:13 pm
Thanks Ebayer and SRod. My heart is sickened about what’s happening to this young woman. It’s really beyond celeb fodder, this is becoming a matter of willful neglect on the part of anyone who has any influence on Britney.
Will they be able to live with themselves when she finally cuts her life short?
I know if this were my child, someone would be feeling a hurting right now. Even if it meant I would be put in jail. Somethings are worth fighting for, and if it’s not your child, then what the hell is it?
Comment by D — January 18, 2008 @ 1:14 pm
her parents can’t do anything. it is britney’s right as an american to destroy herself if she so chooses. she is not deranged; she can eat, sorta dress herself, drive a car, talk rationally most of the time. she just doesn’t care anymore, she is hell bent on destroying everything in her life and no one can stop her.
Comment by sally — January 18, 2008 @ 1:28 pm
Again, any decent parent wouldn’t allow their child to “destroy” their life without putting up a fight. And I sure as shit wouldn’t let the likes of Addon and Osama bin Loopy get away with what they’ve gotten away with without getting their asses viciously beaten by me.
For real, if Britney me were my child, one of those assholes would be in a morgue right now being toe-tagged by Lindsay Lohan.

you gotz mad skillz
srsly!
Okay, seriously, that article is like the best one ever. I am totally in awe.
And you’re right…if this were MY daughter, I can guarantee that nothing or nobody would keep me from her. And there would be nutsacks kicked, oh yeah. And I’ve said before that if this were me, my almost 70 y/o father would be kicking some serious ass, and nothing short of a bullet would keep him from getting to me. That might not even stop him. He’s the Termadaddy!
Let me tell you, Anon Brazilianwax and Osmarmy bin Loopy would be missing a testicle right about now.
Does anyone know how to make sure the sperm donor and test tube incubator called Britney’s Parents read these articles we’ve been writing? Because somebody has to. Or are they too busy listening to Dr. Phil? Let me ask ya, howzat workin’ for ya?

Luvs it!
You know the main argument in defense of the parents I hear is that she has enough money to isolate herself. I don’t buy it. Plain and simple she is easy to find and easy to manipulate. She is unguarded - and out of it much of the time. It wouldn’t take much to gain access to her….as those A-holes in her life have proven.
I miss the days of the after school special…you know….where parents went to great lengths to stop horrific things from happening to their kids.
When your kids are in trouble you may be mad, disappointed, sickened, furious but you never give up.

Someone should petition the Spears clan - send it the mansion that BS’s money bought…..think it’s called Serenity:0
Comment by EBayer — January 18, 2008 @ 2:10 pm
Britney Spears is a fucking psycho bitch whore..and should be hung for being that god damned stupid!!!!
And aint that bitch knocked up again?!?!
NOW aint that a bitch!!!
Comment by Brittany — January 18, 2008 @ 2:38 pm
Maybe she’s both mentally ill AND mentally challenged?
Sadly, until it can be proven without a doubt that she’s a danger to herself or others, nothing will happen. Right now, she’s only a danger to common sense and social norms.
She’s being “Howarded” (or would it be “Sterned?”) by Osmarmy bin Loony, but I’m wondering just how much control he’s got over the situation right now, because the guy is in major spin mode. I’m guessing there’s a power struggle going on right now between Osmarma and Addon, though she’s clearly being manipulated by both of them (though I’m sure in HER mind, she’s the one who’s in control).
The paps know where Brit is going to be because she (or someone in her employ) calls them to tell them. I don’t think any of her staff would give her parents the same heads-up.
However, seeing as how Jamie and Lynn don’t really have anything better to do with their time other than mooch off their kids, they might just try hanging out at Gaucho Grill, the Rite-Aid or Ralphs and see what goes down.

Brittany, while I appreciate your candor and passion, this isn’t the kind of site where that sort of flagrant and overt verbal abuse is encouraged.
If you take a moment to realize we are talking about a mentally ill person then does it really make sense to use vulgar terms to describe her?
Britney may have some very serious and debilitating problems, but she doesn’t strike me as someone who is a “whore” or a “bitch” when she’s in the right frame of mind. As far as being “stupid” or “psycho” that’s a matter of semantics. I choose to think of her as slow and disturbed.
And she is apparently not “knocked up”.
Comment by D — January 18, 2008 @ 3:34 pm
Crazymom, Ebayer and k,
It does seem strange how casually they are taking their daughter’s behavior. I mean calling Dr. Phil is the best they can do? Jeebus that seems hopeless, yet so very obvious and predictable. These people aren’t what I’d call “equipped” to handle real-world issues, or fame and money for that matter.
Somehow though, all four of us, from our various walks of life agree on the same thing: we’d fight tooth and nail to help save our child. She could try and cut me out of her life, but I assure you I wouldn’t be having any of it.
As for your comment Sally, I made it clear that I knew the consequences for my actions would be severe, yet, I’d do it anyway. That’s what people who care do, they do what they know is right, IN SPITE of the consequences. I’d say with almost 100% certainty you are NOT a mom.
Comment by D — January 18, 2008 @ 3:40 pm
i just think it’s easy to sit behind your computer and say what jamie and lynn should be doing. in reality you don’t know what they are doing or not doing behind the scenes. they could be trying a number of things that the public doesn’t see. i think the situation is hopeless; she has so much money, she can tell everyone to f off. if she was middle class and had to work for a living, she would have been forced to get help by now.
Comment by sally — January 18, 2008 @ 4:00 pm
sally: You don’t know where any of us are coming from or what any of us have or have not dealt with in our lives. So perhaps you should take that into account before telling us how “easy” our comments are to make.
Comment by k — January 18, 2008 @ 4:21 pm
D….off the hook sista!! great story!! i would seriously go to any lengths to protect my children. the lack of parenting from her family makes me more mental than what brit is currently doing to herself. her daily antics have gone from funny to sad. the decomposition of her sanity fills me with pity. this young womans life is in a dangerous downward spiral.i agree with K that at some point there will be much finger pointing and head scratching. her family and handlers would be much better off to have her hate them for getting help than to feel guilty allowing her to die at her own hands.
Comment by D-Bomb — January 18, 2008 @ 4:28 pm
I would agree with those sentiments D&K. Let’s be frank. Maybe her family is pursuing legal action behind the scenes. Doubtful, but nonetheless possible - but what she really needs is someone to scream from the roof tops “forget it little girl, you’re gettin’ some help”. I know for a fact that my mom would have resorted to pinning my as$ down physically if need be. That’s what loving and caring parents do. Thoughts of their own well being usually come as an after thought. IMHO this is all about $. When they could have gotten her the help she needed before she lost her kids and all sanity they didn’t do it because little ms. ATM might have cut them off. Now it’s a huge almost insurmountable problem, so what’s a mom to do? Avoid the mental hospital - call Dr. Phil and hold a photo shoot at her sister’s grave. Blah.
Comment by EBayer — January 18, 2008 @ 4:32 pm
Brit’s parents just seem frozen when it comes to dealing with her. I’m sure it’s related to a lifetime of history where she’s been the main (only?) bread winner in the family.
Quotes I’ve read from people who know her suggest that her mental health really has taken a turn in her early adulthood. If her family had established patterns of letting capable mature for her years young Britney run the show, but then capable mature Britney morphs into schizophrenic drug addled Britney, they have no pattern or practice of intervening in her life.
What you advocate makes total sense, her parents need to wake the F up and do whatever it takes to get her the help she needs, but I’m not sure they would even know where to begin. Yes, they should “parent” her, but it’s hard to start that at the the age of 24, or whatever she is, if they never parented her for the first 20 years.
I’m not excusing, just observing.
Comment by Kati — January 18, 2008 @ 6:38 pm
I have loved glosslip for some time for the well written and intelligent posts but this certainly tops them all. You’ve provided insight that many have overlooked or perhaps not considered. I do believe Kati has a point in saying that Britneys parents seem to have done very little in the way of parenting throughout her life so stepping up to the role now might not only be too late, it is also a position they are not equiped for. That may explain their lack of action but it does not excuse it! There are various legal channels that could be explored by the Spears which they’ve chosen to ignore. It seems to me that only K-Fed is doing anything to remotely addess Britney’s issues… I can’t say how sad it is that the loss of her children has had no effect. It may be the mental illness but when those children grow I don’t believe they will accapt that their mother is blameless when she has had countless opportunities to have gotten help so that she could renew relations with them
Comment by Kate — January 18, 2008 @ 8:15 pm
Kati: I do have to agree that her parents seem to be stymied by the most basic of parental duties.
Perhaps (and I sure hope Jamie and/or Lynne are reading this) they should start by going to Commissioner Gordon. I’m sure he’d know what to do to start any legal processes in motion as far as having her enter a mental facility against her will.
Comment by k — January 18, 2008 @ 9:10 pm
Kate: First, thanks! D did a great job with this one, she’s right on target (as usual).
And I agree that it is sad that Kevin seems to be the only one even remotely interested in her mental condition. I know he’s a dirtbag himself, and he probably needs tested for weed more than Brit does, but at least he is making some sort of attempt, as much as he can make legally.
I have a feeling that this coming week is going to be a major time period in Brit’s life.

as a parent u should never give up on your kids, no matter what they’ve done, it’s a parents duty to be there when things aren’t running smoothly to pick up the pieces. Where are her parents? it’s like they don’t want to be associated with britney because of her wild ways, but before all this ( britney going abit crazy) when she was the american sweetheart and dream, you’d see britney closely followed by her mum or out with her mum. but now she;s nowhere to be seen.
I blame most of all this on her parents.
Comment by michelle — January 19, 2008 @ 3:52 am
Brit is a grown woman- she can do whatever she wants in this life. I am hoping she kills herself; think of Anne Nicole. Better for everyone including her kids. Her (Brits) parents need to take of their pregnant 16 year old sister. BTW, great parenting job! 2 girls F*cked!
Comment by christmas — January 19, 2008 @ 6:31 am
I agree with Kati, if her parents did very little “real” parenting (i.e. setting boundaries, etc) while Brits was growing up, it’s a little late to start now.
However, that said, maybe it’s a perfect time to start, just too bad they can’t get anywhere near her to do it.
Makes me wonder just who this Sam guy is, where he came from and who put him there to basically be a “custodian” for Britney. Who found him and where? I wonder if he’s part of the problem (more likely) than part of the solution (less likely) when it comes to Britney getting help.
Comment by crazymom — January 19, 2008 @ 11:24 am
i meant no disrespect to anyone on here with what i said. i just have sympathy for lynn and jamie. can you imagine having britney as your daughter? what a frigging nightmare that would be. she has embarassed herself and her family time and time again, and i am sure her family is utterly exhausted having to deal with all her problems all the time
Comment by sally — January 19, 2008 @ 10:08 pm
I think you’re right but, let’s not be too harsh on her family. they may be taking legal actions and doing everything they can possibly think of to help her without braguing about it in front of a camera or in a newspaper. at the end of day, britney is a mature grown-up woman and she’s allowed to do whatever she wants but, as she is a celebrity worldwide, everybody is interesting in her wild ways and erratic behaviour. she may be a complete mess right now but, it’s her problem not yours!
