What is a parasocial relationship? The Britney question perfectly outlines it.
Britney Spears has hit back at actor Alyssa Milano for tweeting that someone should ‘check on’ her, calling the social media post ‘a form of bullying’. While the tweet was posted in December and read ‘Someone please go check on Britney Spears’, Britney’s response comes days afterby fans concerned for her wellbeing – forcing Britney to put out a public statement asking that people respect her privacy.
‘What’s sad is Britney can’t just post to her social media whatever she wants … that’s a small fraction of her life that she chooses to post that you judge her on and want to say she isn’t doing well you know saying something like that about someone is “weird”’ one person responded. Perez Hilton added fuel to the fire in December when he posted a video telling fans, ‘Your concern is warranted, but when the truth comes out you will all be surprised. A lot of fans would not take it well if I said what has been reported about her. But especially if I shared what I know, I don't think I would help Britney. If I spoke, I would hurt her. First, she's not okay, second you guys are not crazy, third almost all conspiracy theories are crazy.
That’s why we must ask now, when does questioning Britney’s sanity and freedom become an exercise in removing her own agency? But trusting her judgement is also imperative to returning her full freedom outside of her conservatorship, enabling her to live a full life despite what people perceive to be ‘strange’ or ‘wrong’ behaviour. Much of what she posts isn’t harmful, it’s childlike joy with a sense carefree abandon few of us would post ourselves for fear of being judged.
