Though Britney Spears’ medical history remains private, she doesn’t fit the profile of a typical conservatee.

Here’s why: latimes.com/entertainment-…
“Britney is a figurehead for an untold number of people the world will never hear about, [who are] fighting for their civil rights,” says Patrick Hicks, attorney and head of legal at Trust & Will. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Spears’ case, says disability justice advocate smith, is inextricably tied to a culture of ableism that has been used to justify the confinement and abuse of people living with mental illness and disabilities. #ADA latimes.com/entertainment-…
A 2017 study by the U.S. Justice Department in Minnesota, found that statistically, half of conservatorship exploitation victims are under age 65 and that women are disproportionately exploited under conservatorships.  latimes.com/entertainment-…

Wildfires have burned more than 140,000 acres, from soaring mountains along the California-Nevada border to the forest north of Mt. Shasta and the gateway to Yosemite.

latimes.com/california/sto…
But many of 2021’s biggest blazes have one thing in common: They are burning faster and hotter than some firefighters have seen this early in the year.

latimes.com/california/sto… Image
More than twice as many acres burned in the first six months of this year than during the same period last year — and hundreds more fires, officials said.

During years when clients accused #RHOBH’s Tom Girardi of stealing from them, Layton was arranging dinner dates for Girardi with civic elites, according to the emails.

latimes.com/california/sto…
The emails, provided to The Times by the bar in response to a public records request, shed further light on how the bar’s oversight of Tom Girardi, one of the nation’s most prominent civil attorneys, failed.

'Emily in Paris' is nominated for an #Emmys.

Yes, really.

latimes.com/entertainment-… Image
"Remember when the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. was ridiculed for calling 'Emily in Paris' one of the best television comedies?
#Emmys voters either didn’t pay attention or were too busy marveling over Lily Collins’ designer outfits to care."

latimes.com/entertainment-…
Back in 2020, 'Emily in Paris' was nominated for two @goldenglobes while shows like 'I May Destroy You' were snubbed.

Turns out, there may have been a reason for that. latimes.com/entertainment-…
