What really happened to Britney Spears? Conspiracy theories among his fans – Corriere.it

At the wedding of Britney Spears, a little over a year ago, with Personal trainer of Iranian origin Sam Ashgari., terabytes of social content were allocated, several magazine covers, even an attempt at sabotage. The former pop star’s spectacular wedding to a man by her side since 2016 also served to tell the world: here I am, I’m free. And now, for many of his fans, they are even a production created with the help of artificial intelligence. And Britney won’t be free, not at all. But imprisoned in a psychiatric clinic against her will. In support of this thesis, “evidence” and conjectures of various kinds: everything is cataloged, in social networks, according to hashtags like #BritneyNot Free, #WhereBritney, #FindBritney. Britney Spears hasn’t released a record since 2016, but her mythology is almost on par with Elvis.

It’s just that Britney’s husband, who met on set in 2016, is one of those closest to her who is most criticized by fans of the former pop star who gave him the nickname “Fraud”, i.e. “Scam”. The one that, when the basketball team’s security attacked Britney at the Aria Casino in Las Vegas, didn’t even save her. After the wedding in June 2022, many tabloids noticed that he, the groom, played almost a minor role. However, the opposite view now seems to prevail. Why are there so many beautiful photos of her and Spears, the images are mostly blurry? Because the wedding was attended by celebrities of all stripes, from Madonna

To Paris Hiltonand not the children that the bride had from her first marriage to Jason Alexander? And one more thing: after the years spent by Britney in a house where she was imprisoned, as in a prison, why get married right there, in that same prison? Isn’t this the same ex-husband who even burst into the ceremony on the wedding day, armed with a knife, went to interrupt the production and save, however, the exhausted ex-pop star?

All these questions are answered, for example, by the TikTok account. @BritneyIsNotFree. It’s run by a twenty-three year old boy Anita Datta. Interviewed New York Magazine in a lengthy investigation, he tries to take Britney Spears’ “disappearance” theories seriously, even pointing out “very clear” indications that the singer was replaced in the wedding footage with an AI-generated deepfake image. Britney’s hands intertwined with the groom’s will be crooked and fuzzy, as grooms often are. people drawn by AI. On the picture Kathy Hilton, mother of Paris, is missing a leg: was it photoshopped there? Britney Spears’ manicure changes from ceremony to after-party. Did he really have time to redo it? And so on.

Then the fantasy marriage theory is just one of the many theories that are raging on social media, and social media in particular. tik tak

about the “new life” of the ex-pop star.

For example, in January, a fan called the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office, where Britney Spears lives. The Instagram post made her suspicious., and dozens of other fans confirmed his doubts: a few days earlier, the former pop star deleted her Instagram account. Now he opened it again with a cryptic message: “Porsche Carrera 911.” What did this mean, if not a coded message? Dial 911: This is the police emergency number. A call to the authorities did not lead to anything, but – recorded – it went viral on tiktok, rallying the ranks of those on social media who believe the pop star is not actually free, but instead is secretly locked up in a clinic. Not an absurd conjecture given that this has already happened: in 2019, her father took her to a hospital.and became known only after a long time.

A few months before the wedding, at the end of 2021, Jamie’s father asked the judges to stop legal protection of his daughter, having controlled all aspects of her life since 2007, especially financial. Over the years, fans of the singerhashtag #freeBritney, asked to re-discuss this role; only in July 2022 did the singer, after many years of personal difficulties, as well as mental problems, first turn to the magistrates with a request to dispose of herself; then she won. And with her are her fans: a close-knit team of strangers from all over the planet, whose mobilization is among them. Cher and Paris Hilton – Played a role in Spears’ “release” court case.

And who now wants to help the star again. One of the most active fans is called on TikTok, @RealCocky
