For just one episode I talk nothing about parenting or covidiots, or anything like that, and I bring in another Britney Spears fan-girl like myself, Calais! There is so much going on right now with the #FreeBritney movement, the #FramingBritneySpears documentary and just so much more that I had to take time to go deeper into what's been going on. All we're hoping for in talking about this is that the world continues to gain empathy & compassion for Britney as we try and dissect the facts we know and the rumors being spread. We just want our girl to be free and happy!!!
