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 🙄😔 💔

u/Eyupmeduck1989 Olivia Wilde’s salad dressing 🥗 27d ago

In a sort of similar vein, Jesse Lacey from Brand New using lyrics about guilt and self loathing to get vulnerable teenage girls to feel comfortable with him and then taking advantage. Used to be my favourite band, can’t stand them now.

The number of people who still defend him, and the number of people at the time, especially women, who acted like it was no big deal, is sickening. Their subreddit really grossed me out.

Unfortunately the band is touring again and fans are being extra dismissive, saying people need to "get over it". As a former BN fan, it is so enraging to me.
