Justin Timberlake is to Blame for the Demise of Britney Spears

Summer Banks
Today I want to talk a little about Britney Spears. Her life and love is jumbled and stressed to the point of breaking and the world holds nothing at bay in regards to slamming this once hot pop star into the ground. But, has anyone truly stepped back to try and figure out what went wrong? What happened to that diva we all saw forming? Where did the talent and promise disappear to? I believe I know what happened to Britney Spears and I believe it all has to do with Justin Timberlake.

For anyone who is breathing, the fact that Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake were a couple for many years is common knowledge. After her supposed affair with Wade Robson, the couple came to an end and a new life formed for Britney Spears. A life I am all too familiar with. You see, I am Britney and I know where things went wrong.

Britney Spears suffers from depression (maybe even bipolar disorder) and those of us who suffer, do so in weird ways. After breaking up with the love of her life, Britney took the high road. She partied and partied and partied some more. She partied until she found herself in what she thought was a great relationship. On the side, Justin was a quiet man just living his life.

As time moved on, and Britney Spears remained on her depression high thanks to pregnancies and reality shows, things seemed normal. As long as she was married and pregnant, things were going the way they were supposed to go, right? Wrong, things were just spiraling faster and faster until Justin Timberlake hit a pot of gold with his first debut album. That is when reality stopped the fantasy train for Britney Spears.

Faced with the fact that the love of her life was doing what she wanted to do, she cracked. The world and spiral Britney Spears has lived on for so long just stopped. No longer was there a reason to keep spinning when the truth of life as it could have been was facing her in the mirror every second of every day.

Things started out badly and continued to get worse and worse with the culmination of events smashing to the ground after the release of Justin Timberlake's second album. After that, Britney could take no more. The pain, guilt and pressure of all things sacred and divine, was being played in every club, on every radio and on millions of iPods throughout the world. Finally there was nothing to do but fail, and she did, in the living room of every person screaming for her comeback. Britney hit bottom!

Where does Britney go from here? She will have to face the demons of what could have been. The letter from Justin and the help and support of Timbaland, may prove to give her the boost she needs to make it to that next plane. But, can she resolve the blemishes and restart a career? I hope so. My world depends upon her success.

You see, I lived the spiral not too long ago. I cheated, I left my husband, I chose the party all night route too! And, I crashed. It is not fun for those of us who are faced with the reality of our decisions. It is not comfortable to be in our own skin. But, I did step out of that world and I did change who I was from the inner core of my soul.

Britney, you are going to make it. You will survive this time and you will come out on top. Will it hurt, YES! Will it be hard, YES! Will death seem like the best choice, SOMETIMES! All you can do is breathe. Keep breathing and you will make it through every moment, no matter how long it may seem to take to pass. Life will move on and you will succeed. Pop star status is not the name of the game, the true path should be to find, YOU!

    i agree that britney's demise certainly had something to do with justin timberlake.. but i also think it was because he betrayed her.. remember when he revealed that she wasn't a virgin anymore? i think that started it.. and she kept spiraling downward.. as much as i like some of justin's songs, he is such an airhead and so un-gentleman-like. i only wish that britney comes back better than before.. enough to make jt weep.. haha! she is amazingly talented...love the title, btw.

    There is some truth in this article; but if Britney really wants to make it she has to focus on her career and who really cares what rainy day, fair weather associates like Justin can do. Reminds me of the whole Foxy Brown/Jay-Z debacle, when Foxy was refusing to let go of the fact that Jay-Z wasn't trying to help her make it, she looked foolish and immature and lost a lot of respect. Of course she was also crucified on radio by going at it with one of the more respected Djs in New York radio, who more or less kicked her off the program, which didn't help her career either. The bottom line is that if you aren't going to play the game, get out of the way, talent is only a small part of being successful in the music industry, and Justin has the marketing game on lock.

    Hopefully things will get better for Britney soon.

    She is talented and that does not go away. I think the press is relentless and need to back off and give her some room to breathe. She may be a star but she is still young.
