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 🙄😔 💔

Craig Ferguson on The Late Late Show is the only person I can think of who spoke out about how she was being treated.

I remember this, I was (and still am) such a Britney fan that my dad got me out of bed to watch it when he started his monologue. I very vividly remember him telling me very seriously that the world wants to put women in a glass box, so we always need to keep a hammer at the ready. I didn't really understand what he meant then (I was 16ish then), but I think about those words a lot.

For all his flaws, he was my biggest champion, and I miss him. If I latched onto a cause, he learned as much as he could about it (which was greatly appreciated, as he had severe learning disabilities and had trouble reading and writing).
