As far as Judy Garland was concerned, it is a very similar situation, with an additional complication - her father was gay and in the closet and while her mother was on the one hand milking Judy for all she could get, on the other hand I think she believed that she was doing the right thing in keeping her away from a troubled home life, even if things at the studio were stressful. Remember, back then no one knew diet pills and tranquilizers were addicting. This was the middle of the Depression - half the country didn't have a job, let alone one at a movie studio. You didn't look a gift horse in the mouth, you shut up and did what you were told.

Britney's parents have all that information available and they should have stepped in after the 24 hour (or however long it was) marriage to that Jason guy and made her GET HELP. IMO that was the beginning of all the craziness. At this point, I think she would have to be given an adult caretaker (if there is such a thing) because her family hasn't shown any inclination or ability to help her.

I didn't know the full story behind Judy Garland - my gosh, no wonder she was a mess, and her daughter seems to be right behind her. Good judgment is/was not their closest friend.

And totally, totally agree about that first marriage. It was such a scream for mental help, and everyone just rode on the wagon with her, rather than let her get the help she needed so badly.

wtf?

I'm not going to lie.

I have a closet full of clothes and there are times when I open up the closet and think to myself, "I have nothing to wear!!!"

I usually will throw some random outfit on... but uhhhh Britney's random outfit is.... not exactly "street wear"
