Two-and-a-half years later, with the last court battle with her father Jamie finally resolved just weeks ago, the conservatorship has been fully revoked. But Britney\u2019s life isn\u2019t exactly the happy, calm one fans hoped she would soon be leading when they began the #FreeBritney movement. And with chaotic happenings being reported in her on-off relationship with former housekeeper Paul Soliz, who her team believe is \u2018bad news\u2019, just as her divorce from Sam Asghari is finalised, alarm bells are ringing once more.<\/p>\n<p>Fears for Britney, 42, reached new heights last week, as she was pictured barefoot outside Los Angeles hotel Chateau Marmont. Emergency responders had arrived at the hotel, where Britney was staying with Paul, in the early hours of Thursday 2 May morning following a call about an injured woman. According to gossip site TMZ\u2019s sources, the pair had got into a fight, and Britney was pictured exiting the hotel late at night in her underwear, with a pillow clutched to her body and no shoes on her feet.<\/p>\n<p>She was seen by emergency services, with a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Fire Department confirming that they had arrived at the hotel at 12.42am and left 35 minutes later, and did not take anyone to hospital. The images poignantly bring to mind Britney\u2019s highly publicised breakdown in 2007 that led to her conservatorship. As the 2021 documentary Framing Britney Spears revealed, Britney\u2019s life was falling apart while the paparazzi took photos and the world made dark jokes at her expense.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the latest \u2013 and most extreme \u2013 incident to face Britney, but her posts on Instagram have been stoking fears among her supporters for quite a while. A source tells Grazia that Britney\u2019s friends and loved ones have a \u2018huge amount of concern for her welfare\u2019, worrying that she\u2019s surrounded herself with \u2018yes people\u2019 and \u2018questionable influences\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Following the hotel incident, Britney took to Instagram to insist that there had been nothing sinister behind the photos which were taken at the Chateua, and that she was \u2018getting stronger everyday\u2019. Branding the reports as &#8216;fake\u2019 news, the singer claimed that she had actually twisted her ankle after \u2018trying to do a leap in the living room\u2019 at the hotel. Britney insisted that she \u2018fell, embarrassed myself; that\u2019s it\u2019, sharing several videos of her swollen foot in a second post on her feed.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;custom-quote&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Libre Bodoni|||on|||||&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#333333&#8243; header_2_font_size=&#8221;40px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">&#8216;All anyone has wanted is for Britney to be happy.&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Of the emergency services\u2019 arrival, Britney claimed that the paramedics had \u2018showed up at my door illegally\u2019 and \u2018caused a huge scene, which was so unnecessary when all I needed was ice\u2019. \u2018They never came in my room but I felt completely harassed,\u2019 she wrote, while also speculating that her estranged mum Lynne had had something to do with it.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I know my mom was involved,\u2019 she wrote. \u2018I haven\u2019t talked to her in 6 months and she called right after it happened before the news [was] out !!! I was set up just like she did way back when !!! I wish I had grandparents !!! I can\u2019t stand her !!! I honestly don\u2019t care, I will say it.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Britney\u2019s relationship with her parents has always been strained \u2013 after all, it was father Jamie who placed her under her conservatorship back in 2008. In the time since it ended, with a judge ruling that Britney should be given back her personal and financial independence, the family\u2019s relationship has remained rocky and she\u2019s not thought to have regular contact with any of them, least of all her father whom she doesn\u2019t speak to at all.<\/p>\n<p>Following the conservatorship\u2019s end Britney hit out at her parents and sister Jamie Lynn multiple times on social media. In her memoir The Woman in Me, she claimed that dad Jamie used to call her \u2018fat\u2019 and wouldn\u2019t let her go to the doctor to get her IUD removed, and called her sister a \u2018little bitch\u2019 following her appearance on I\u2019m a Celebrity\u2026 Get Me Out Of Here!.<\/p>\n<p>On social media, Lynne claimed she had been blocked by her daughter; however, this spring, mother and daughter reunited for the first time in three years and appeared to be on the path to reconciliation. \u2018It\u2019s been such a long time \u2026 with family there\u2019s always things that need to be worked out \u2026 but time heals all wounds !!!\u2019 Britney wrote on Instagram at the time.<\/p>\n<p>With her latest comments, however, it appears such summits have stalled \u2013 and people are worried Britney is isolating herself again. The arrival of Paul back on the scene has sparked further concern that things have gotten out of hand. Paul previously worked for Britney at her California mansion, but was reportedly fired after it came to light that he had been charged with multiple crimes and convicted of felony possession of a firearm just two years ago.<br \/>Grazia\u2019s source says that Britney\u2019s friends don\u2019t like Paul, especially as Britney is said to have got close with him during such a vulnerable time, amid her split from third husband Sam, who she separated from nine months ago after 14 months of marriage. The couple settled their divorce on Wednesday, just hours before the alleged altercation with Paul at the Chateau Marmont.<\/p>\n<p>This whole time, all anyone has wanted is for Britney to be happy. When the singer would post her unusual videos dancing or quotes to Instagram, some fans raised concern about her behaviour. However, there was a general consensus that this might just be what freedom looked like for her. But with these latest photos, it\u2019s not so clear. The end of the conservatorship means it\u2019s not as simple as staging an intervention or seeking professional help for the singer, our source says. \u2018The very real fear is that this isn\u2019t going to end well.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#111111&#8243; divider_position=&#8221;center&#8221; divider_weight=&#8221;2px&#8221; module_class=&#8221;custom-divider&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;credit-texts&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;|||on|||||&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><b>Photo: <\/b>Getty<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paramedics were called to Chateau Marmont following a disturbance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":3078,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3098","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature"],"acf":[],"modified_by":"kschwarz","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3098","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3098"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3098\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3102,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3098\/revisions\/3102"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3078"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3098"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3098"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3098"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
