Brittney Spears, who hasn't made any public racists remarks (at least that I know) lost control
- dragontamer 4y agoAnd in that case, it seemed like her holding company was abusing her. So invoking power-of-attorney over someone isn't always the solution to their mental health. Its an extreme move, and I'm really not sure if its designed to be used in the typical mental-health case. Its not like the mentally ill are suddenly incapable of performing useful work, or unable to watch over themselves. They just have... delusions, bad memory, swings of mood, terrible sleeping habits, etc. etc. They need help, not someone walking in and stealing their money / taking their house / losing all sense of agency all together. Mental health is... difficult, but livable. Extreme actions like invoking power-of-attorney probably makes things worse in more situations IMO.
- wavefunction 4y ago> invoking power-of-attorney You may be thinking of Legal Guardianship. Power of attorney just means someone is authorized to make the same legal decisions as the subject of the power of attorney and can be overridden by the subject. Brittany Spears was subject to and abused by Guardianship.
- lghh 4y agoIt was a lot harder to make those public remarks when Brittney was at her lowest publicly than it is for Kanye right now. I'm not saying Brittney would have, just saying that it's easier to have a very public manic episode where your every thought is aired than it was 15 years ago.
