It was on Youtube the other day.

I found the whole thing quite sad really the girl she was at the time definitely needed help and support and sadly her family especially her father were the wrong ones from what I can see when I watched it.

It also shows how we, the public, drive the Paparazzi and watching scenes where she is surrounded by hundreds of flashing camera is very sad and would drive anyone a bit crazy.

Mixed bag. Very sad to be reminded of how shameless the Hollywood paps are, it should be illegal. Its harassment.

Her support network let her down badly. Really badly. Her family, friends, business managers and the record label.

That level of fame is just bad for you.

I watched that documentary and it's not hard to see why she went off the rails. Her treatment by the press was pretty disgusting really.

 

[Bandit]

Pretty awful life she's had at the hands of the press. I sympathise with her. Not sure in her case her money is worth it. She's a prisoner in her own head.

 

[Talia]

Watched it last night and was fairly underwhelmed. Don't really understand the hype. While it's undoubtedly an awful story and your heart would break for her, there was nothing really new or revelatory in the doc. Just rehashing information that's already out there. I think the fact that it was by the NY Times rather than E4 made people assume it was more worthy.

Nothing groundbreaking. Your heart goes out to Britney and all she has endured/ is enduring though.
