TMZ Slammed For Questioning Britney Spears Mental Health

Britney Spears Mental Health

After Fox aired the special TMZ Investigates: Britney Spears: Divorce and Despair on Thursday, which questioned the pop star’s mental health, viewers flocked to social media to express their displeasure at what they saw as a “hit job.”

Dr. Drew Pinsky, an addiction medicine specialist and media celebrity, and Dr. Charles Sophy, a psychiatrist and media personality, appeared on the show, as did several TMZ presenters and employees, as well as other music and media luminaries.

After deconstructing Spears’ recent divorce from spouse Sam Asghari, much of the time was spent debating the end of Spears’ conservatorship, which was terminated in November of 2021, and the state of her overall mental health.

With dozens of footage from Spears’ social media accounts and “sources close to Britney” as the backdrop, TMZ Executive Producer Harvey Levin and other producers helped set the atmosphere with statements like “people around her are worried,” and stated that she is “frighteningly out of control.”

The panellists also speculated on what would happen if Spears does not seek the care they believe she requires.

“I’m mortified, you could get a call any minute,” Pinsky admitted. “The problem with letting these things unravel outside of a conservatorship is that she’ll get to where she’s going in the state she’s in.” When they act, they act rashly, unexpectedly, and dangerously.”

The episode also discussed Spears’ reported overuse of coffee, Red Bull, and other caffeinated beverages, as well as the prospect of her ever going on tour again and what she should do with her songs.

Britney Spears: Divorce and Despair concluded with Levin’s line:

“Everyone we’ve talked to who knows her is deeply concerned about her.” Hopefully, she will receive the assistance and support she requires to live a more tranquil and stable life.”

Many viewers, however, thought the show was unjust to Spears, calling it a “hit job” and an inaccurate picture of mental health, and criticising TMZ for producing it.

But many viewers thought the special was unfair to Spears, considering it a “hit job” and an inaccurate portrayal of mental health, while criticizing TMZ for doing it.

Britney Spears

Britney Spears is an American singer, songwriter, dancer, and actress. She first gained prominence in the late 1990s with her debut album “…Baby One More Time,” which became a massive commercial success and made her a pop icon. Born on December 2, 1981, in McComb, Mississippi, Spears quickly rose to fame as a teen idol and played a significant role in shaping the pop music landscape of that era.

Some of her other popular albums include “Oops!… I Did It Again,” “Britney,” and “In the Zone.” Spears is known for her catchy pop tunes, energetic performances, and iconic music videos. She has won numerous awards throughout her career, including Grammy Awards and MTV Video Music Awards.

In the mid-2000s, Spears faced personal and public struggles that attracted intense media attention. Her actions, including a publicized breakdown, led to her being placed under a conservatorship, which granted her father control over many aspects of her personal and financial affairs. The conservatorship has been a subject of controversy and legal battles, with fans and some members of the public advocating for its end.

Throughout her career, Spears has also dabbled in acting, with appearances in movies like “Crossroads” and guest roles on TV shows.

Jason Kelce Smashes College Football Fan's Phone

Retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce destroyed a Penn State football fan’s phone after the alleged heckler called his brother, Travis Kelce, a fag.

In now-viral footage published on X (previously Twitter) on Saturday, Nov. 2, the retired Philadelphia Eagles great was seen accompanied by football fans outside Beaver Stadium in State College, Pa., for the Penn State-Ohio State game.

As the individual capturing the tape lifted a fist to Jason, 36, and called his name for a fist bump, another man nearby hurled the homophobic slur at the retired Philadelphia Eagles star.

Hey, Kelce. How does it feel that your brother is a queer dating Taylor Swift?” the man questioned, referring to Travis, 34, who has been seeing Swift since 2023. Jason turned around seconds later, snatched the man’s phone, and crushed it to the ground.

“Looked like a Penn State student was getting in Kelce’s face for no reason,” the original X user who submitted the video remarked. “Wild scene in State College.”

Additional footage on X shows Jason smashing the phone on asphalt before picking it up and walking away. The phone’s owner, wearing a Penn State hoodie at the time of the incident, was shown in many videos strolling closely behind Jason and recording him before the conflict occurred.

Another footage published on X, which appears to have been filmed after Jason shattered the man’s phone, showed the hooded Penn State supporter trudging through a mob to pick up his phone off the ground.

“Give me my phone, bro,” he seemed to say to Jason.

The NFL alum seized the gadget first, then stood in front of the man and asked, “Who’s the fag now?” Others appeared to interfere.

The incident occurred while Jason was at Beaver Stadium for an appearance on ESPN’s College GameDay. The Ohio State Buckeyes won Saturday’s game 20-13 over the Penn State Nittany Lions.

On Wednesday, the couple announced their engagement on Instagram. Dobrev posted photographs of the two hugging under an arch of white roses and showing off her five-carat Lorraine Schwartz engagement ring.

Shaun White’s Proposal To Nina Dobrev Was Romantic Gold

According to a Vogue interview published Wednesday, Shaun said he assembled a team of people from the couple’s inner circle and Vogue personnel to trick Dobrev into thinking she had been invited to an intimate dinner party with Anna Wintour.

White claimed that his publicist emailed Dobrev a forged invitation to the event, which was scheduled to take place at the Golden Swan in New York City.

Dobrev accepted the invitation, joking that Shaun made it “look so legitimate.”

He even asked Dobrev’s stylist to outfit her in Chanel for the event.

Dobrev said she recognized what was happening when she entered the venue and saw White standing beneath the flowery arch.

Hollywood Actress Teri Garr Passes Away at 79

Hollywood Actress Teri Garr Passes Away at 79
Teri Garr, known for her roles in classics like "Young Frankenstein" and "Tootsie," has passed away at 79.

Hollywood actress Teri Garr, known for her roles in classics like “Young Frankenstein” and “Tootsie,” has passed away at 79. She died Tuesday of multiple sclerosis “surrounded by family and friends,” said publicist Heidi Schaeffer.

Admirers took to social media in her honor, with writer-director Paul Feig calling her “truly one of my comedy heroes. I couldn’t have loved her more” and screenwriter Cinco Paul saying: “Never the star, but always shining. She made everything she was in better.”

Throughout her career, the performer, often known as Terri, Terry, or Terry Ann, seemed destined for show business from a young age.

Her father was Eddie Garr, a well-known vaudeville comic, and her mother was Phyllis Lind, one of the original high-kicking Rockettes at New York’s Radio City Music Hall. Their daughter began dancing classes at six and was performing with the San Francisco and Los Angeles ballet companies by age fourteen.

She was 16 years old when she joined the road crew of “West Side Story” in Los Angeles, and she began starring in small roles in films as early as 1963.

In an interview from 1988, she described how she landed the role in “West Side Story.” After being rejected at her initial audition, she returned the following day dressed differently and was accepted.

Teri Garr, a comedian

Teri Garr then found steady work as a movie dancer, appearing in the chorus of nine Elvis Presley films, including “Viva Las Vegas,” “Roustabout,” and “Clambake.”

She has also appeared on various television shows, including “Star Trek,” “Dr. Kildare,” and “Batman,” and was a featured dancer on the rock ‘n’ roll music show “Shindig,” the rock concert performance “T.A.M.I.,” and a cast member of “The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour.”

Her breakthrough role was as Gene Hackman’s girlfriend in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1974 thriller The Conversation. This led to an interview with Mel Brooks, who offered her the Gene Wilder’s German lab assistant role in Young Frankenstein if she could speak with a German accent.

“Cher had this German woman, Renata, making wigs, so I got the accent from her,” Garr once said.

The film established her as a great comic performer, with New Yorker film writer Pauline Kael calling her “the funniest neurotic dizzy dame on screen.”

Her big smile and off-center appeal helped her land roles in “Oh, God!” with George Burns and John Denver, “Mr. Mom” (as Michael Keaton’s wife), and “Tootsie,” in which she played the girlfriend who loses Dustin Hoffman to Jessica Lange and discovers he has dressed up as a woman to revive his career.

 A gift for spontaneous humor

Teri Garr, best known for comedy, has shown in films such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Black Stallion, and The Escape Artist that she can also tackle drama.

She had a gift for spontaneous humor, frequently playing David Letterman’s foil during early guest appearances on N.B.C.’s “Late Night With David Letterman”.

Her appearances grew so frequent, and the pair’s good-natured bickering so convincing that rumors of romantic involvement circulated for a while. Years later, Letterman acknowledged those early appearances with helping the program become a success.

During those years, Garr began to experience “a little beeping or ticking” in her right leg. It started in 1983 and expanded to her right arm, but she thought she could handle it. By 1999, her symptoms had gotten so bad that she saw a doctor and was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

After disclosing her diagnosis, Garr became a spokesman for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, giving hilarious remarks at events in the United States and Canada.
