Despite being freed from her father’s insane conservatorship two years ago, Britney Spears is reportedly still paranoid that “someone will come in the middle of the night” and “take her to the psych ward”, and so stays awake as long as possible to be ready for that moment.

According to new TMZ documentary ‘Britney Spears: The Price Of Freedom’, Britney drinks coffee and energy drinks ‘by the gallons’ so that she stays awake for three days at a time, with a ‘constant fear’ that she will be placed back under the conservatorship that ruled her life for 13 YEARS until November 2021.

At one point in the documentary, TMZ executive producer Harvey Levin claims that “multiple sources” close to Britney told him that she “drinks coffee, Red Bull, Celsius, and dandelion tea by the gallons and that contributes to her manic episodes.” He added: “We’re told that she sometimes stays awake for three days at a time.”

Elsewhere in the documentary, TMZ’s news director Brad Appleton claims that Britney is a “binge sleeper” who sleeps for several consecutive days and then “won’t sleep at all for the next few.”

It seems there’s no actual firsthand accounts from Britney in the documentary, which is a little f**ked up. I mean, how are you going to make a whole documentary accusing someone of being an overcaffeinated maniac and not give them the chance to respond in the same film? Well, maybe they did offer her a chance to respond, but according to the documentary Britney lives in “virtual isolation” when she’s not posting on social media, and so she’d probably turned them down.

In any case it’s all just so sad to read about, as is mostly the case with Britney. If you’re really that anxious and paranoid then the last thing you want to do is load yourself up with caffeine which makes it 100x worse. If Britney doesn’t get the help she needs, where can this saga possibly end?

Britney reportedly also has a memoir coming out which has already resulted in some celebrities sending “strongly worded legal letters” to her publishers in fear of what she’ll write about. Good luck with that one, Justin Timberlake.
