The devastating truth is that broken, bedraggled Britney is her own worst enemy… Now,

It is abundantly clear that those who argued to #FreeBritney, myself included, were very wrong. But after her trial became an international cause celébre, after her tearful testimony about her father controlling every aspect of her life down to her birth control - well, what judge would ever sign off on reinstating a conservatorship for Britney now? Her public disintegration seems precipitated, perhaps, by two major life events: Reportedly paying her estranged father's $2 million in legal costs last week - this after he paid himself $6 million as head of her conservatorship - and the finalization on Thursday, the night of her breakdown, of her divorce from Sam Asghari. Asghari was supposed to be Britney's happy ending, the man she walked off into the proverbial sunset with, per her New York Times bestselling memoir. As for that memoir, wishfully titled 'The Woman in Me': It is a strange book, the rantings of a rage-filled author who does not know or understand herself, who discusses - to an extent - her heavy drug use and losing custody of her sons, but who takes zero responsibility for her life or the wreck it has become.

New Louisiana city of wealthy white residents faces exodus of parents who resisted 'racist
