Fe seems like she would get so annoying after a while.
She seems sweet, but I could see why you would say that.

But remember that Ruben is crazy and went on an anti-Britney episode, calling her crazy, fat, etc. If you're going to write a letter of concern, write it
to someone reputable. Not a site that was trashing her left and right.

You're right - Ruben's site was the wrong forum. BUT, I never read that letter until now, so it didn't receive wide dissemination in the mainstream
media so I still can't fault her.

i still think it was a shitty thing to do, I understand why she felt the way she did but ruben was the last person who she needed to send that letter to if she
really wanted to air everything or she could have went the best route and kept her mouth closed. and no ruben has never been 100% behind britney. he flips
sides whenever he feels like it. he even closed the website for months one time with this big long letter just trashing britney because he set up this fan
meeting to supposedly meet britney and flew them all in and he said she didnt come to his party to meet them. (this was way before the meltdown started) and
then months later reopened the site all excited about her again and then fe sent that letter and he closed the site with another bashing letter about how she
treated fe and how she didnt care about her fans anymore, etc... so im sorry but if she was truly concerned she could have gone to britneys family but she
didnt, she made it worse by making public something that was probably already a hard situation.
*sorry for the rant,lol. |

Fe was and is a total bitch! No one knows exactly why Brit flipped out except her so Fe running her mouth is low! Do you see Laura Lynn running her mouth??
NOPE!

Laura Lynn has kinda fallen off the radar though... so have Courtney & Jansen for that matter.

I find the notion that someone decides to expose the already overexposed life of a friend to a fan site because they care hilarious, I mean, God
knows that they way to help a friend in trouble is going behind her back and report everything to random strangers

Ruben had been becoming increasingly anti-Britney (but only when it suited him, any time he thought he could get something out of her/Larry he was right back
up her ass again) for a long time. He had a history of being fickle like that anyway and particularly after Kevin came on the scene, but by the time that
letter from Fe came out it was already clear he was no longer a fan. For her to make such a thing public at all was a bad, bad idea but to do it through Ruben
of all people was sheer stupidity, even if it was well intentioned.
I can understand being around Britney at that time would have been difficult.. She was ill and in denial, they miscalculated and sent her to a rehab program for something that wasn't her actual problem which only made her resentful on top of it all, and I'm guessing it was horrible for her friends/family... but if Britney wasn't listening in private, then she was never going to listen to somebody who was talking via the media. The last thing she needed was yet more of her life being public domain. Quite understandably, that would be a total breach of trust - it's a really bad idea to give somebody who is currently in denial and mistrustful of everyone in her circle a REASON to mistrust. I liked Fe and I'm sure she did what she did with the best of intentions, I don't fault her for caring or even for having had enough, but going public was a dumb idea that was more harm than help. |

Maybe Fe thought that was the best way to get through to Britney, if Britney was cutting off contact from all of them. At any rate, I agree with Leather
Tuscadero.

I don't fault Fe at all for the letter. What would've been the difference if it was Ruben or she sent it to some other media outlet? Yeah Ruben is a
douche but I doubt Fe knew all the drama surrounding him. She probably just felt it was a huge Britney fanbase and wanted to reach her fans. Honestly, I
don't think Fe understood the magnitude of Britney's illness. Fe was fed up. She felt Britney had an attitude and no longer cared about anyone but
herself. I do not think Fe meant any harm and she was actually very accurate about Britney hitting rock bottom. I mean Britney did dabble in some heavy
drinking/drug activity and that was more than obvious. Even BEFORE she got with Sam and that mess. She did need to be in some type of rehabilitation program.
The problem with Britney's use of drugs wasn't that of fun/partying but more of "look at me. I'm depressed. Save me!" cry for help.

He was even hauled through the press for allegedly for stalking the family at one point, she knew. They all did, Ruben wormed his way right into that circle - and since WoB was so huge, her people were always keeping an eye on it. |

She probably didn't know the drama surrounding Ruben? So she just decided to send something discussing a close friend personal problems and she didn't
even bother to take 5 minutes to google that person's previous behaviour towards that friend? Gotta love these caring friends (and competent personal
assistants since there had been treats of law suits before).

Ruben is a psycho yes, but I think the reason the letter was written to him was because he had access to the largest Britney site. |

Oh I don't think Fe *meant* harm at all. She really doesn't strike me as the type who would intentionally hurt anybody. I just think she really failed
to think through what she did before she did it, because there is no way in hell that somebody who is in denial and mistrustful and pushing everybody away from
her is going to take kindly to having members of her inner circle make all her crap public - lack of privacy being a problem long before she got ill - and
particularly via an ex-fan who had just been getting huge publicity for closing down his site and trashing her of late. Far from getting through to her, that
was the fastest way to ensure she felt betrayed and even more mistrustful and I think that should have been obvious.
She could have got any amount of exposure she wanted from anybody she wanted in her position, any of the major media outlets would have killed for that exclusive, and of all people she picked THAT guy. It was a well intentioned but terrible move.

Even so I think Britney needs to get over it. I really do. I think having Fe back in her life is a good thing. Same with Big Rob. Some people, basically non
fans don't realize that Fe was around before Britney was famous. It wasn't like oh I'm famous now and have some random PA. Fe was her family friend
first and foremost. It should be water under the bridge imo. She forgave Larry and the same should be said for Fe.

Who says Britney hasn't got over it? Fe's got a new job somewhere else - even if they have privately reconciled or at least spoken/had communication
begin again, we're not going to know about it because she's not going to be physically there as Larry is. I wouldn't assume one or the other.

Basically what I am saying is if Brit starts up performing again regularly, I would like to see Fe with her. Yeah we don't know if they've spoken, but
I would assume if they had, you would see pictures of them out and about doing things like they used to. I doubt Fe works all day long and never has a moment
to herself.

You don't see Laura Lynne, Courtney or Jansen with Britney these days, and yet we know they're all okay. Fe's with the Jonas Brothers, touring all
over the joint - as when she was with Britney, I would expect her to be extremely busy. Even if everything was all cleared up and sorted it out it wouldn't
necessarily mean she'd want to come back to Britney or that the two of them would return to being as they used to be. Like I say, I wouldn't assume
anything. At any rate, from what I hear of Fe she's doing well so I'm happy for her
