Speaker 1: told me that, I was like, of all people, I

11
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 1: totally get it that.

12
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: I mean, you totally get it. But I guess now

13
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: that you're retired, it's probably easier, Harvey.

14
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: I get up in the morning. I have a milk bellue,

15
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: I have my joints massaged. You know, nothing but the

16
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: leisure life. Right, This is very, very very interesting. We

17
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: have were talking about earlier this morning. Britney Spears. I mean,

18
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 1: there's there's so much love for Britney Spears and her

19
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: fans are so loyal. You are doing TMC investigates Britney

20
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: Spears The Price of Freedom. It's a special tonight on Fox.

21
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: How is she doing? What are you looking at? What

22
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: are the questions you.

23
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: Answer, well, I mean, first of all, we're not looking back.

24
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: We're not looking at the conservatorship at all. We're looking

25
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: at her life in the year and a half sense

26
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: the conservatorship ended. And I will say, there are things

27
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: that have improved, I mean really simple things. And she'sn't

28
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 2: even talked about this. She's going to an ATM machine.

29
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: She couldn't do that during the conservatorship, and she can

30
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: do it now. And I mean there's a lot of

31
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: stuff we take for granted that she has not been

32
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 2: able to do and is doing now, which is great.

33
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: That said, there are a lot of problems. I mean

34
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: a lot of problems. And you know from she hasn't

35
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 2: seen her kids in more than a year. She's estranged

36
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: from her family in Louisiana, she's having marital issues. Sam

37
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: is not there much. She's very isolated. She lives a

38
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: very solitary life. And you know, at the root of it,

39
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 2: and Ryan, you and I have talked about this over

40
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: the years, at the root of it is mental illness.

41
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 2: I mean, when she went into this conservatorship fifteen years ago,

42
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: there was a reason there were a lot of doctors

43
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 2: who evaluated her. And look, the free Brittany movement definitely

44
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 2: had an impact. I think it had an influence on

45
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: the judge in the case. But if you think back,

46
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: the one thing people never talked about in the Free

47
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 2: Brittany movement and even in court when this all happened

48
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: was mental illness. And that's at the root of this

49
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 2: whole thing, and yet it was short circuited, it was bypassed.

50
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: That doesn't go away, and now Britney is in charge

51
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 2: of managing it herself. And it has been an issue

52
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: to the point where people in her life, and led

53
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: by Sam, her husband, a couple of months ago, they

54
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: tried staging an intervention to help her. It failed. Somebody

55
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 2: blocked it. But that's how serious it got.

56
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: Harvey Levin talking about this special they're doing on Brittany.

57
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: Does she participate or is this reporting?

58
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 2: No, she does not participate in this. We've talked to

59
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: a lot of people in this. Yeah, I will.

60
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: She are Their visions, are their desires, are their goals

61
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: to perform again, to do a residency or something for

62
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: her fans.

63
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: Did you find that out? Yeah, we get into that

64
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: a lot. And I'll tell you in terms of concerts, residencies,

65
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: not going to happen, even she doesn't want it, but

66
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 2: but they are in the process of trying to stage

67
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 2: a recording comeback. They did really well with the Elton

68
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: John songs and Ryan. Everybody we talked to that it

69
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: was involved in this element. They said, she's brilliant in

70
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 2: the student udo. She is really good in the studio,

71
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: and they think that if she makes the right choices,

72
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: she can prosper because, like you said at the beginning,

73
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 2: she has such a loyal fan base and it's almost

74
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 2: now multi generational that you'll have parents now exposing their

75
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: kids to her music. And you know, there are a

76
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 2: few people like Brittany who have this kind of loyalty

77
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: with their fans. Maybe One More Time is twenty five

78
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 2: years old this year, and those fans are still with her.

79
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 2: So there is absolutely an ability to have that kind

80
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 2: of a recording comeback, and she needs it because her

81
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 2: money is dwindling and she needs something like this.

82
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: Interesting. You can see it all tonight, nine eighth Central.

83
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: That is on Fox. The hardest working person in Hollywood,

84
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: Harvey Leving, go back to the other three shows you

85
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: have to do today.

86
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 2: I have love, it's good talking to you. Ry.

87
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:01,880

88
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: play a Britney song, I don't even like in the studio.

89
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: You should know, we kind of put down what we're

90
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: doing if we're preparing for something and just listen to it.

91
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: I think the entire world is rooting for her as

92
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: we just want to see her win interesting about the studio, right,

93
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: Like she's magic in the studio, which means more product,

94
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: more music could happen, which we love. All right, So

95
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: that's tonight. If you want to watch that coming up
