I'll take a shot here:

Briney's peers are afraid that they'll end up with less access to their OWN money and resources if they step into the light and support and defend her.

They're all compromised by their "handlers" in similar or WORSE ways than Brit... And while they might have deep empathy on her

...they can't risk stepping up without making HUGE personal sacrifice.

Like:

✅They're dirty laundry put on repeat on TMZ et al
✅They're money and 'opportunity' drying up temporarily, or FOREVER
✅They're superiors 'correcting' or outright 'ATTACKING' them in public or worse

In private.

We all know that the entertainment industry is a horrible place. Hunter Thompson said it best... If you've never read the quote.

Long story short is their all compromised in a BIG way. Their OWNED by their contract holders--and--by the dirt they've willingly or

thoughtlessly allowed to be accumulated in their "how to muscle me to do your bidding" files.

I don't know what else it could be?

They're prolly watching--wishing they could help--and terrified they they'll be next, or worse.

They'll end up like the ones we all love and miss

Like MJ, and Prince, and Whitney... And that list is so long I can't type it.

It'll literally make me cry.

@IzmsHasRisen I tried to quote-tweet to your #Britney questions, and somehow I left out your tweet. WTF I know.

But I did want you to see this, as really I was just replying to your musings...
