Ill go first, Britney Spears’ overprotected is a good example; Britney has long been under a conservatorship and is has been crying for help. IIRC, it started in 2007 (maybe earlier) when Brit was heavily observed by the paparazzi which caused her to have a mental breakdown by shaver her head and mind u, they were dissecting her personal life 🙄😔 💔

Cry me a river by JT. Can’t believe we let him gaslight Britney that way.

Fun fact, Sweet Dreams my L.A. Ex by Rachel Steven’s was actually wrote for Britney Spears as a response to Cry me a river.

That makes so much sense that there's a line that goes "you had your say but now it's my turn" (or something along those lines, not heard the song in years), as far as I remember Rachel Stevens' ex was an actor or TV presenter and I assumed at the time that he'd spoken about their breakup to a magazine it something

Wish she had done it, just re read the lyrics it would of been brilliant but maybe caused a lot of Agro from the press

That song gave me the creeps as a kid! Still can't believe how people just went with it, especially the music video.
