and we already have a reflection that that is too much,” Kennedy said. “I do wonder what it’s like when she then is seeing these comments. He said he wonders how Spears will react now that she has control over her own life again, with not only headlines to worry about but also social media commentary. During a backstage tour of her Las Vegas residency, Kennedy recalled a crowd’s being told that Spears reflects other people’s emotions, so if they’re nervous or excited, she will be, too. Kennedy, previously a music reporter, reflected on his experiences covering Spears and what he learned. “Laws which have been put in place because of things that she’s gone through and things that, you know, Lindsay has gone through and Hillary Duff has gone through, you know, all of these other young women.” “I think people also still forget this other fact, too: Britney is probably one of maybe perhaps five to 10 celebrities that is still actively stalked by the paparazzi despite the laws that are in California,” Kennedy said. His essay last month, “ We May Destroy Britney Again,” was inspired by the worries that Spears is once more the subject of public obsession. The first thought that crossed culture critic and author Gerrick Kennedy’s mind when he realized Spears’ conservatorship could end was “oh, we’re going to do it all again,” he said. “And that’s what I hope for the most is that she can walk down the street and not have to worry about those kinds of things.” “I doubt that they’re going to stop out of some kind of moral higher ground, but you’d hoped that people would learn their lessons and, and just kind of let her live her life,” Gray said. There have been fan movements to stop the use of paparazzi photos, with the hope that it would cut the demand, she said. Gray said that the number of paparazzi is “scary” but that taking the pictures is how many make their income. “For so many years I was always told if I succeeded at things, it could end … and it never did.”

“I’ll just be honest and say I’ve waited so long to be free from the situation I’m in … and now that it’s here I’m scared to do anything because I’m afraid I’ll make a mistake !!!” she wrote. In a candid post last month, Spears said that she was afraid to do simple tasks, such as drive her car, and that paparazzi would jump out at her “like they want me to do something crazy.”
