Britney Spears: 'Not ‘Sure’ she was ‘present’ at her wedding: ‘Haven’t Had Real Consciousness in 3 Years’

While reminiscing about her wedding to Sam Asghari, Britney Spears revealed she didn't recall being that "present" at the special event.

“Wow I got married this year not sure I was honestly that PRESENT because I haven’t had real consciousness in 3 years,” the singer, 40, wrote in a lengthy since-deleted Instagram post on Wednesday, November 9, according to Page Six. “There was a lot of talking and SPEAKING at the party !!! Not for me unfortunately because when you can’t breathe your body cant relax enough to speak !!!”

Spears noted that she has since been breathing better, adding, “Its been a while for me !!! I CAN NOW … I just hope my family breathes well today !!!”

That same day, the pop star gushed about being reunited with Asghari, 28. "Here’s my husband !!! He’s been gone working !!! Supposed to be a week, but ended up being a whole month … it was really hard … he’s home now acting up … I know he’s pretty hot 🥵🥵🥵 !!!" she captioned an Instagram video of the model at the gym.

Spears' candid confession about her nuptials comes nearly six months after she exchanged vows with Asghari. The couple tied the knot at their home with a star-studded guest list, which included Madonna, Paris Hilton, Drew Barrymore, Selena Gomez and Donatella Versace.

The pair started dating after they met on the set of her 2016 "Slumber Party" music video. "I was like, 'He was really cute, this guy was really cute,' so I called him," the "Circus" performer shared in a radio interview in 2017. "He's just a really fun, funny person."

Asghari, for his part, recalled being worried about making the wrong first impression. “I was excited that I [would] get to meet one of the biggest artists of all time. I had butterflies,” the personal trainer, who played Spears' love interest, said during an interview with Men’s Health in July 2018. “She said, ‘Hi, I’m Britney,’ and I said, ‘I’m sorry, what’s your name again?’ I tried to be funny. I don’t think anybody got it.”

After one year of dating, the duo made their relationship Instagram official in 2017. Us confirmed that Asghari and Spears were engaged in September 2021. “The couple made their long-standing relationship official today and are deeply touched by the support, dedication and love expressed to them,” his manager, Brandon Cohen, shared in a statement, two months before the Grammy winner's conservatorship was terminated.

Ahead of their wedding, Asghari praised his strong connection with Spears, telling Entertainment Tonight in March, “Everything’s amazing. We’re so excited to start a new chapter, and everything’s so positive from here on out. Everything is going to be new from here on out."

Man, she's so gone. I mean, I knew she was crazy back in 2008 after hearing all the shit she did/pulled, but now that she's diarrhea-posting on Insta, it's blatantly clear just how far gone this woman-child is. I read the BackupBritney Instagram every day (because she posts and deletes so often), and I hadn't seen this post. She posted something this morning about how she woke up to a big fight with someone she loved and she lay in bed crying for hours. That's why we've seen no dancing/twirling vids today. That's all right, she'll be back tomorrow i'm sure.

Wait? Isn't this admitting her perception of time and memory is so poor that she can't even remember doing certain things or people's names? This makes her father's claims of her having early onset dementia a bit more weighty. It explains why she was on the highway driving in the middle of night and ran out of gas.

To be honest, Britney isn't that bright. Any woman with intelligence would never marry down... THREE TIMES! She's not this secret genius that the fandom makes her out to be. She doesn't write her own songs, sings well or play an instrument. She was never a Lauryn Hill type who still has music potential because it was never there, she was just a trained child entertainer. But you'd think she was Mozart by the way Brit stans go on about her

Her father wants to unseal her medical records so that the public will know the truth. She probably has very serious mental health issues. It doesn't seem like she can take care of herself, and she needs constant help. You never see her going out alone in public. Except the time that she took the car and ran out of gas on the freeway.

Sam seems to be a sham husband. But I think he is genuinely fond of her even though he may be doing it for the money. He's been gone lately. I think that he needed a break from her. She seems exhausting to be around. It also seems like they may be living in separate houses.

She's got a serious mental illness. The kind of mental illness that makes online histrionics by people who write about their harrowing mental illnesses—social anxiety, usually, or body image issues—insignificant.

We all knew this.

She was being held against her will by the government of California and by family members who were *profiting* in the millions by holding her captive.

It was right to set her free of their greedy custody. Even if she is seriously mentally ill, that's not an excuse to imprison her against her will for her whole life, IMO.

But she is going to harm herself, yes. She will not thrive. The whole founding spirit of the United States is "give me freedom or give me death"—if I die by my own hand, that's OK, but being held captive is not OK.

So she has her freedom now. I think it is a better way for her to live. But she will be exploited by opportunistic predators and she will do absent-minded things that end up harming her. It's inevitable. It's a shame she is broadcasting it; however, maybe it will give us all some insight into what profound mental illness—not depression and anxiety that we generally are told about as mental illness—looks like. Her cognition, her thought processes, her emotional processing are interrupted and dysfunctional.

Don't buy the black/white narrative of her family being abusive. I believe she's very ill, biologically, and that a conservatorship is definitely preferable. This is not going to end well. I see the projective identification 'Fee britney' movement as the abusive and ill one.

by Anonymousreply 32November 11, 2022 12:19 PM

I kinda agree with the poster that Britney's decline should be allowed. People do need to understand the extent of a true mental illness with no sugarcoating. This could be used to help actually fund mental health care. By showing Britney is no different than that homeless person on the street. Many celebrities keep their illnesses under wraps and the phonies say "I have anxiety" when they are just entitled. Cases like Britney could help destigmatize real mental illness by showing even the rich and famous are afflicted.

by Anonymousreply 33November 11, 2022 12:23 PM

It kind of sounds as though one of those weird California New Age people has gotten their hooks into her.

Sam shouldn’t have left her alone for so long; someone else might have sneaked in the back door (so to speak). Maybe a massage therapist or $cientologist cleaning lady. Whispering in her ear some gobbledegook about “true freedom”.

Sam had to come back and try to pound her into submission with his schlong.

R28, are you actually Britney?

In the first place, the fact that cancer is a really serious illness doesn't mean that pneumonia isn't also an illness. Anxiety/depression is in the DSM and is most definitely a mental illness. (Attention-seekers may claim they have it when they don't, but that is a completely separate issue.) Likewise, anorexia has a higher death rate than any other mental illness, so you can't dismiss all "body image issues" out of hand either.

As a non-American, I have always regarded "Give me liberty or give me death" as the kind of adolescent bullshit you'd expect from Holden Caulfield. All paranoics think they're in captivity, or would be if "they" caught them: should they all be running round unsupervised? ("Free people to be homeless beggars!") What if Spears harms someone else instead of herself? Is that still OK?

She has explicitly stated here that she has not "had real consciousness", ie been a responsible adult, for three years. That's her own admission. Ipso facto she should be under conservatorship. If she doesn't trust her father, by all means put her in the hands of the public guardian, or, since she's wealthy, have a reputable legal firm not associated with her father, and an independent accounting firm, oversee her needs, and get THEM audited every three years if you really want to make sure nobody's taking advantage.

R37 I know that anxiety and depression are "real mental illnesses." I didn't say they are not. I did describe whatever is wrong with Spears as "profound mental illness" that causes severe cognitive dysfunction and emotional instability as something different and, yes, more severe than clinical depression, anxiety and panic disorders, and mixed adjustment disorders.

Those disorders are real. They affect our daily lives and sometimes our livelihoods. They may even result in extreme cases in paranoia, transient psychotic episodes or suicide. Obviously, this is serious. Most cases respond to both cognitive-behavioral therapy and psychotropic medications. A minority of cases are not responsive to conventional pharmaceuticals but recent research shows they respond well to psychedelic therapies in many cases.

Britney Spears is a different case entirely. Evidence suggests she is truly dysfunctional, as in she cannot function as an independent adult and maintain basic self-care without a lot of intervention from others. She appears to conflate invented beliefs and misperceptions with reality (psychosis) and she fluctuates between appearing somewhat reasonable and being in an altered state that is natural to her but which is psychotic or akin to psychosis.

This is entirely different than common depression and anxiety. Most people—the vast majority of people—who suffer terribly from depression and anxiety still think rationally and logically and are able to functionally live independently.

Profound mental disorders like Spears's are true disorders.

Some extreme cases of depression and anxiety may cause true dysfunction, as well, but those are not the majority of cases and they still most often do not result in cognitive failure or limitation, or in truly uninhibited emotional displays.

I absolutely am not downplaying the seriousness of those disorders but I absolutely do take issue with media and politicians lumping all "mental illness" into one category, including profound psychotic disorders, autism spectrum disorders, personality disorders and situational depression and anxiety.

I know of a study of college students that determined "50 percent of college students" have an unmet mental illness. That's preposterous. And the conclusion was based on a survey that asked questions including things like, "Since you've been enrolled in college, have you at any time felt anxious or depressed?" Every college student feels both because they are under great academic pressure and in a socially challenging environment. And the New York Times published a feature that regurgitated the finding that half of all college students are mentally ill and in need of medication. That's false and reckless.

Spears's type of mental illness, whether it's endemic psychosis, the result of trauamatic abuses or years of medicating her, or even brain damage, is very, very different than depression that responds well to Zoloft or Wellbutrin.

As terrible as her father was, she's clearly not competent, nor capable of managing her own affairs.

It's sad that, even for someone with a lot of money, there really isn't a safe option for someone to look out for you if your own family cannot be trusted.
