00:00 Britney Spears has had one rollercoaster of a life.
00:15 Many high moments that were positive and some of the experiences left fans completely worried
00:22 and scared and they wondered if Britney was actually ok.
00:27 Those are some of the incidents we are going to be looking at.
00:38 When we look back at January 2004, Britney Spears spontaneously got hitched to her high
00:44 school buddy Jason Alexander at a Las Vegas chapel after a night of drinking.
00:56 But wait for it, only 55 hours later they called it quits.
01:01 The official reason was that Britney didn't fully understand what she was doing.
01:09 Her record label at the time called the whole thing a joke that went too far and Jason summed
01:14 it up later saying that it was just crazy.
01:18 But after this, people were really questioning Britney Spears' judgement and wondering
01:25 if she was ok.
01:31 Fast forward to 2007, Britney Spears got in some legal trouble where she was charged with
01:37 a hit and run and driving without a license.
01:41 Another reckless decision by Britney Spears.
01:53 There was also a concerning moment in 2006 involving Britney Spears and her infant son
01:59 Sean.
02:00 She was photographed driving with him on her lap.
02:04 And later that year, there were pictures of her stumbling in high heels, almost dropping
02:09 him on the ground.
02:11 And in another instance, a few years later, her 3 year old son, Sean at the time, was
02:16 seen holding her cigarettes and her lighter.
02:20 Clearly Britney Spears was struggling here but people didn't really know everything
02:24 that was going on with her at the time.
02:30 And of course, I gotta mention, in 2007, Britney Spears experienced a highly publicized meltdown.
02:37 She shocked the public by shaving her head at an LA salon while looking completely dazed
02:43 and confused and wide eyed.
02:45 And later she expressed her frustration by angrily attacking photographers with an umbrella.
02:52 This was the first time her fans saw her like this.
02:54 Just the whole look in her eyes and the rage and the frustration and her lashing out like
03:00 that.
03:01 Yeah, it was pretty scary.
03:02 Also, in 2007, Britney Spears attempted a surprise comeback at the VMAs with a performance
03:08 of "Gimme More".
03:16 Unfortunately though, it didn't go well at all and she awkwardly staggered and stuttered
03:22 through the routine.
03:24 And critics completely slammed the performance and Britney later admitted feeling embarrassed
03:30 about the whole thing.
03:31 Another incident happened in the year 2008 where Britney Spears faced a challenging period
03:36 with two hospitalizations.
03:38 In January, she was carried from her home on a stretcher.
03:41 And according to her ex-manager Sam Lufti, amphetamine use played a role in her struggles.
03:47 And this difficult time led to a temporary loss of custody of her two sons.
03:52 Additionally, Britney's former bodyguard testified about concerns including issues
03:58 of exposing herself as well as using substances.
04:02 And these safety concerns specifically involved her children.
04:06 It was also pretty sad with Britney Spears' conservatorship.
04:10 Britney Spears emerged from a controversial 13-year conservatorship in November of 2021,
04:15 freeing her from the extensive control of her father, Jamie Spears.
04:21 And during the conservatorship, Britney allegedly was being compelled to work seven days a week
04:26 without breaks, particularly during her Las Vegas residency.
04:30 What's next for Britney?
04:32 And this is the first time this could be said for about a decade.
04:35 Even after her release, she continued to share experiences of being mistreated and being
04:43 extorted and also shared about the challenges in controlling her own body as well as what
04:50 she wanted after coming out of such a period of intense lockdown that the conservatorship
04:56 was.
04:57 There was also those videos of Britney Spears dancing with knives online.
05:00 She posted some dancing videos with knives and fans noticed something a little strange
05:05 in a follow up video because Britney had some bandages on her hands and after people saw
05:11 her dancing with knives, did she hurt herself?
05:17 Britney Spears later posted though saying that the knives weren't real at all and
05:21 that she was just copying Shakira's performance at the 2023 MTV VMAs.
05:26 But this was still a moment that got her fans really scared and worried about her well being.
05:33 On that note, this concludes this look at some sad Britney Spears moments that scared
05:37 her fans.
