    Becoming an adult is realizing that that crying YouTube guy was completely right.

    They keep all these starlets fucked up on drugs and permanent emotional (or otherwise) abuse.

    A friend of mine said she was jealous of Billie eilish and wish she had her life as a teen, but guaruntee you they keep her on a short leash using drugs and abuse too. You dont want these peoples lives, they're just fuel for the spectacle pyre.

    from thehill :

    Spears revealed a shocking list of allegations, including that:

    • She is forced to keep an IUD to prevent pregnancy

    • She is not allowed to marry her boyfriend

    • She is forced to take anti-psychotic meds that make her feel "drunk" (apparantly lithium?)

      If she's feeling drunk it may be atypical antipsychotics (Seroquel/Zyprexa). Atypicals have a few billion in lawsuits directed at them after Astra Zeneca and Eli-Lilly convinced doctors to use them off-label for anything. People ended up with tremors/tardive dyskinesia, metabolic disorders, weight gain, weird allergies, a whole bunch of shit. The trial results have a huge list of side-effects that aren't on the monograph. Sure, they placate people. If you can get your hands on it 50mg of Seroquel will put you solidly on your ass in 40 minutes.

      Astra Zeneca lost one lawsuit for $500,000,000 in 2010. They sold off the rights to Seroquel a few years ago. Eli-Lilly was fined $1,400,000,000 in 2009 for, uh, lying. Zyprexa's being sold as a weight loss drug by another company now.

      Shit, just read she was on depakote, seroquel, lithium and ativan in 2009. Her doctor sucks. Yeah, the traumatized woman who's mobbed every time she leaves the house isn't happy and the daily handful of downers make her loopy.

      I fucking hate the health and wellness industry.

    We live in a world where Amazon is legally a person and Britney Spears isn't. Let that sink in for a moment.

      Britney Spears is an LLC held in trust by the Walt Disney Company for 99 years. Once that period has elapsed, she'll have the right to purchase herself back at her fair market value.

      Honestly, this is a way better means of managing an artist than just letting them run around thinking they have title to their own work product.
