Jason Trawick Now Controls Britney Spears


Yesterday a Judge appointed Jason Trawick a co-conservator of Britney Spears. It does not really change anything except now Jason can get paid for helping take care of Britney. Sure, why not add another person to the Britney Spears dole. I think this is the first step in a process to have Jamie not be in charge anymore, although for now he is the other co-conservator. Jamie probably doesn't want to do it forever and figures Jason will be there long enough to make sure someone is in charge of Britney for the rest of her life that Jamie trusts. It kind of sucks that Britney is going to end up having someone always be in control of her. At some point you would think she is going to try and rebel again or do something to fight against it. Maybe if she does become a judge on X Factor and is not under 24 hour supervision by a team of people she can do something to shake things up.

  1. I find this whole thing disgusting. Maybe it's a ploy as some have suggested to avoid legal issues and attacks on her money, but they way this agent has moved on to fiance, and now conservator just seems weaselly

  2. I can't imagine why she's put up with this so-called "conservatorship" as long as she has. She's a grown woman, for crying out loud, not some giggling teenager. Sure, she had a meltdown and she's made her share of mistakes--possibly more than her share. But she's as entitled to screw up as anyone else is.

  3. People can say what they want, but I'm glad her dad took over when he did. She probably would have ended up as the next Whitney.

  4. She'll be off her meds and dead in 5 years.

  5. There's got to be something ethically wrong with having your fiance as your co-conservator. It just doesn't seem right. It's so 100 years ago, when control of women and their finances went from their fathers directly to their husbands.

    I guess I'm still suspicious of Jason Trawick and his motives. He sort of came out of nowhere - being an employee first, then all of a sudden Britney's boyfriend. Though truthfully, how would I know his motives?

    It just seems suffocating, and in a way, I feel really sorry for the gal. You can have all the money in the world, but if you don't have your freedom, what does it mean?

  6. This bothers me. It seems liker her Dad was doing fine, and he can be impartial.

  7. i agree @strawberrygirl she would've ended up hurting herself more or her kids even. Its good that she has people around her that actually care for her and SEEM to not be in it just for the paycheck. I know her dad goes on tour with her when she goes as well.
    I love Britney and hope one day she can be normal again and not have everything she says be scripted.

  8. I find this disturbing. It was a good ting that her parents cared enough to step in, but they are her parents and we would hope they have her best interest at heart. Not so sure about an agent then boyfriend then fiance then controller. I don't see much difference between him and Adnan. I'm also wondering why the conservatorship continues to this day when she *appears* to have been stable for some time. Does she like being controlled or is there more going on than meets the eye with her mental health?

  9. As I said before when this was going into process, I don't think this is a bad thing. When she was losing her mind, she seemed as though she was battling schizophrenia and a manic depressive mood disorder. She needs good strong people around her to help keep her on track so she doesn't fall into the "I feel great. I must be better. Time to stop taking my medication." trap. Jason seems to genuinely care since he hasn't been letting her run rampant and he also hasn't been parading her around for his own benefit. I can only hope this works out for her and that she can find some balance and happiness in her life.

    Don't get me wrong. Britney 2007 was a trip to watch, but I'd hate for her kids to have to watch her go through such a time again. Especially now that they're old enough to comprehend what's happening. Here's to hoping she's the success story of all the lost little girls we see falling down the rabbit hole.

  10. I think if her family and the courts feel as if she needs a conservator then she probably does. I think its good that her family wont let her slip into drugs and craziness again like some celebs. if they trust this guy maybe it will work out. This shows that Britney is truely unstable and needs help.

  11. Some adults are not comfortable taking care of their own affairs, or capable of taking care of their own affairs, or both.

    Britney's life is very complex. It's possible that she might be able to handle her life if she had a modest job In a small town, but that's not the life she has, or will ever have. It's also possible that if she had been a nobody, she would be just as messed up, have little or no safety net, and be addicted or in jail or both.

    As it is, she is very fragile, very famous, and very rich. I think consevatorship is the best thing for her, now and in the future. I understand that her conservators are making money off her, but they are also providing her with care and stability. Better this than an institution.

    ReplyDelete
  12. She must need some major psych help to be under this type of order. I think her mental help issues are lot tougher than people know. Maybe one day the truth about Britney will come out.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I have always suspected that there was some VERY BIG secret going on with Britney hence all the hush hush on her medical records during her divorce, meltdown etc.

    In the back of my mind, I remember the Blind Enty posted about a huge star that had HIV/AIDS - after a while I started thinking it was Britney.

    Something just seems off. Like why isn't she dating or linked to other famous people? Why did she fall off the deep end emotionally? (Being diagnosed with that would certainly trip a young pop star out). Could also explain her conservatorship (making sure she takes her meds, she doesn't seem to be doing bad things to her body - drinking, drugs etc. now.)

    I could be way off - but something doesn't seem right with this situation and I don't think we have the whole story.

  14. what nutty_flavor said.

    she's lucky to have people who want to help her. many of the chronically mentally ill go without any help or support.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Isn't the nature of a conservator to take care of someone who is incapable of taking care of themselves? With her mental issues being as deep/severe as having a conservator at age 30 (and before) would imply, how is she of sound mind to get married? It seems odd that she's allowed to legally function in an adult relationship, but she's not legally allowed to control her life.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I think evergrey may be onto something. It seems there is more than just bipolar disorder or they would be more upfront about it. It's not like we didn't all watch her have a meltdown and assume there was a mood disorder going on. I know some people suspected that the head-shaving incident may have been a reaction to sexual assault. That could also have sent someone off the deep end, but probably not as far as she went.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Agree with those who think this is a good thing. We would have killed for this option to help our family member when they were totally out of control with bi-polar and schizophrenic issues. I mean literally killed someone - it is a horrible feeling to watch someone you love self-destruct and be completely powerless to stop it.

    ReplyDelete
  18. @ nutty_flavor - I totally agree.

    I think the mistake we make when it comes to Britney is to put ourselves in her shoes. When really, for all the publicity, we have no true idea of her emotional and mental state, and none of us are even close to understanding her life.

    Bottom line for me is that she seems to be doing so much better under the conservatorship.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I do think that a number of married couples already feel they care for eachother in this way. Or would and could if need be.

    The difference is the Britney needs it and it's controlled by the courts.

    Thoughts?

  20. I was reading on some message board that has all kinds of Illuminati and MK Ultra talk (what?! It was interesting!), that they think Britney's meltdown was her trying to break free of her "handlers" and "programming". They also believe that her dad molested her growing up, and all kinds of stuff.

    Definitely interesting reading and things to think about, even if it is outlandish. Or is it? ... :)

  21. @ Nellie - I know my hubby and I feel this way toward each other. It takes a huge leap of faith to place your life and mental well-being in someone elses's hands, but we are there and well past that point after 20 + years.

    We actually have sworn agreements that if/when we lose our marbles, the still-sane one will tie up the crazy and haul them in for treatment :-). It's a joke, but not really if you knew our family histories.

  22. What sort of man is interested in a child-like woman who has mental issues so severe she cant control her own money?? I mean, im glad she has the help, but it seems a bit off.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Now can Papa Spears get to doing this for LoHan?

    I think I read (here?) that when the security guy that was suing her outed her meds, people figured out that she was bipolar as well as dissociative(sp?) personality disorder.

    So yeah, she's gonna need help remembering to take her meds, paying her bills, cleaning up, and doing basic things adults do forever.

  24. Auntliddy, I had the same question. Clearly, things here are more complex than we know.

  25. Who cares. I can't stand Britney, but I think it's because she was a fucking cunt when I met her. :)

  27. I'm certain there is more to Britneys story than we know...if she still needs a conservator there is prob a good reason. Instill think she shield retire and just be a mom to her kids. Enjoy her life. She's worked hard enough and doesn't seem interested or capable of working.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Jason Trawick's motives are transparent. He plans to use Brit as a revenue stream; so far he's getting a percentage of any work he books for her as her agent. Now he's adding the fees he'll receive as her guardian. He'll also package work deals for her and take a packaging fee and then a producer's percentage.

    ReplyDelete
  29. @Amber - I read all of that stuff all the time because as I have pointed out before, I am a huge fan of conspiracy theories. And well, Britney is kind of the poster child for the whole conspiracy. Everything fits, the child star thing, the different personas, symbolism in her videos and photos, the meltdown (or programming wearing off, according to some), everything leading up to present day with her robotic appearance and dead eyes. I'm not saying I believe in all of it, but there is something quite unsettling about the entertainment industry, and once you start looking for it, it's everywhere. Movies, music videos, photographs.
    And ever so often, someone pops up and tries to tell the truth. They either disappear from the public eye, die, or are labelled "crazy".

  30. I don't understand how someone who still needs a conservator is able to get married. If she's unable to take care of herself and her life, how can she be in the right mind-set pick a husband?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Agree w/ discoflux - She NEEDS someone else to be in charge. Better Jason Trawick than that douchebag Sam Lutfi.

    Yeah her dad probably gets tired but again, her dad is FINANCIAL conservator, Jason is more LIFESTYLE conservator. This is for the best in my opinion.

  32. Whenever the big lottery here hits $50 million, everyone starts talking about what they would do if they won. My husband and I both agree we would have to get some sort of legal "chaperone" who would protect us from ourselves. We're certain we would both fall into a pit of addiction and spending. I say it with a little tongue in cheek but there is some truth there.

    So maybe she just needs someone to chaperone her. Remember her spending before? She'd go on huge, manic sprees. I know I would do that if money wasn't an issue for me.

  33. @auntliddy asked: "What sort of man is interested in a child-like woman who has mental issues so severe..."

    Well now. That's another question entirely. And a good one.

    ReplyDelete
  34. She never struck me as being too bright. Add bi-polar disease and too much money, and a penchant for drugs. Yeah, needs somebody to look out for her. Why are you assuming she is not happy with the arrangement?

  37. I agree with others that Britney is likely very severely mentally ill.

    I suspect that Jason Trawick is practically leading her through life. If that's the case, this is far from the worst outcome for her, in fact, it's pretty good.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I think she fried her brain doing too many drugs, and that is why she looks dead inside now.

    I don't like this guy. Something about him is off to me.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Some people aren't very good at running their own lives, especially a girl who already has bipolar issues, and has been catered to since a very young age. That said, this Jason guy seems creepy (totally based only on photos!)

    And I think the head shaving story was that she did it because KFed threatened to have her hair drug-tested so he could take the kids away.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Jamie's new career should be as a professional conservator to the stars.

    There's no way that bi-polar disorder is the extent of Britney's psych issues. She probably suffers from one of the major ones - along the lines of schizophrenia or dis-assosiative identity disorder. I'll stick to speculating since it's not really any of the public's biz (at until her book comes out in 20 years).

    ReplyDelete
  41. She needs to have someone in control because I don't think she's capable of it. She's harmed herself with too many drugs and seems to need quite a bit of medication to remain stable. That said, I think it's a bad decision to put her fiance in charge. Her father was doing fine.

    I wonder what prompted the decision to put the bf in charge.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I'm really distressed by the posters who ask what kind of man could possibly love a woman who is mentally ill.

    You have to assume that Britney has many other qualities that make her loveable - that she's funny, kind, sexy, beautiful, caring, whatever. I don't think it's fair to let her mental illness completely define who she is.

    I'm not proud of it, but I once had a boyfriend who turned out be severely mentally ill, and I dumped him. I couldn't deal with his constant episodes and treatment requirements. I have to hand it to Jason Tratwick, because he's staying involved while I simply gave up.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I think she obviously needs to be placed under a conservatorship. There is much more going on with her than is common knowledge. I really believe that had she been left in charge of her own life, she'd have been dead years ago and perhaps injured or killed her boys along with her. Mentally ill mothers killing their children isn't exactly an unheard of thing. Even if this Trawick guy is a gold-digger out to live off of Britney, that doesn't mean that he won't act in her best interests. If he's living off of her, her best interests become his best interests as well. He's going to want to keep the goose in a position to keep laying those golden eggs. Plus, if her father trusts him, who are any of us to say that he's up to no good?

  44. Do her children live with her?

    ReplyDelete
  45. If that conservatorship is helping her take care of her children, then its a good thing. I'm not too sure about her fiance becoming a co either, but the court went along with it so I have to trust that they have more information than we do. I'm not a big fan of hers at all, I think her music is so canned and her concerts autotuned and no one has heard her real voice in 15 years, but she is a mother and I hope that for the sake of her kids, everything works out okay.

    People can be mentally ill and unable to take care of themselves without being childlike. They are adults with adult needs and emotions, and it's not "creepy" at all that someone would love them.

    Plenty of mentally ill people refuse to take their meds because often the prescribed meds have side effects that are difficult to deal with. If you add into that mix a person who isn't too bright, immature, has a skewed sense of reality, a drug problem, and a ton of cash, you are begging for an early, nasty death. I think this is the case with Britney. She needs someone to watch over her, control her finances, make sure she stay on her therapies, etc. As far as I can tell, Jason has done that. If Britney's father -- who I believe loves her and wants the best for her -- trusts Jason, I don't think anyone else is in a position to question it.

    Also, mental illness of this type isn't something that eventually goes away. It's just managed. So, while we haven't seen Britney have any public meltdowns lately, that doesn't indicate she's "cured." It doesn't work like that. It indicates she's following her regimen, one she'll probably have to follow the rest of her life. If she stopped following it, we'd all be treated to more umbrella-whacking, head-shaving incidents.

  50. As most of you are saying, i find this really disturbing. No matter what level of illnes she's at, she's a grown woman. The ethical discussion of whats best for her could go on for years..

    On another note, that suit is really hideous! Is it that hard to find someone to tailor you a decent suit when you have access to all this money? Yuck..

  51. I think a big problem for Britney was untreated post partum psychosis. Not just baby blues but full psychosis.
    She had 2 babies within a year and was in full glare of the whole world. She was expected to be wonderful at it immediately, which doesn't always happen especially when you have always been 'handled'.
    Then her husband, instead of helping, tries to exploit the situation and take her children from her. That's not easy with the world looking. Being told your a bad mother is awful especially if your already fragile.
    I know she did some bad things but it definitely got worse when the kids were taken.
    I feel for her, I really do.
    I had a similar situation in my life. 2 babies within a year, a deadbeat ex and post natal depression (which is why he got away with being a deadbeat for longer than he should).
    I decided to leave for my own sanity and my ex tried , through court, to take them off me!! The judge practically laughed in his face but I still remember that horrible feeling of uselessness and wondering if people believed him.
    I realise now he was just a manipulative user and I remembered that I am an AWESOME mother. My girls are my life.
    That is why I will always have a soft spot for Britney. She is just a girl in trouble that needs support and understanding and maybe a really good honest true girlfriend.

  52. Look at the body language in the photo. He is leaning into her, completely into her, while she has clenched fist, and looks ready to bolt any minute. Interesting.

  53. I have to say .. this situation scares me. My chest got tight just reading the story. I like being independent and it seems what Britney is going through is my worst nightmare.

    I hope she is okay with it .. and I really hope at some point in the not too distant future she is healthy enough to regain control over her finances. Again .. just scares me. Hope she can get her life back.

  54. Britney still does NOT have custody of her kids. The bipolar diagnosis is pure BS to gratify the inquisitive public.They knew the mental illness was always there, but that was when brit was younger and easier to MANAGE, so it was easier to hide, then brit found drugs and realized she is an adult and earns her own money...hello promiscuity, hello i will do as i feel.
    I heard that way before the big meltdown brit went into rehab secretly. I heard that brit also hears voices in her head and see things that aren't there when she isn't on her meds. I think the HIV rumors came about because Brit was hooking up with a different guy every night while in rehab allegedly.It is said that the lawyers asked that the med records NEVER be made public as they can have damaging effect on her kids.

  55. I feel bad for her. She seems very ill. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some kind of sexual abuse in her past. It really destroys a human being. And all of that publicity etc. And that head shaving was a classical meltdown women have.
