Is the #FreeBritney movement over?
Per TMZ, Jamie Spears hit Anthony Elia, founder of the “Absolute Britney” blog, with a big ol’ injunction preventing him from talking smack online about Britney Spears‘ conservatorship.
This order prohibits the blog from suggesting Papa Spears and his team could be manipulating the songstress, causing her to cry out for help via secret messages in her Instagram captions. The suit was first filed back in June, with Jamie and his lawyer, Larry Stein, claiming the content published to AbsoluteBritney.com was defamation.
The suit accused Elia of falsely suggesting Britney’s team, per Jamie’s instructions, of “using her social media in a way to negatively portray her and do her harm.” But what really bugged Jamie about the whole thing is the fact that Elia made his remarks out of a “gut feeling.”
On an even more serious note, the legal team behind the Spears estate says more recent posts triggered death threats against those involved in the conservatorship. The judge has sided with Jamie in this battle and ordered Elia to stop his claims (especially those suggesting Britney is being harmed by the conservatorship), but we doubt this war is anywhere near over.
Additional serious allegations were made which amped up the #FreeBritney movement, including that the Toxic singer was involuntarily checked into a mental health facility back in April and was being held there against her will.
The mother-of-two has done her best to keep her social media channels a place of positivity, despite all that’s been going on, and has even tried making it clear she calls the shots when it comes to what’s being posted to her Instagram.
This court decision comes just a few days after the 38-year-old shared a message directed at online commenters, writing in her caption:
“Happy holidays friends !!!! I love sharing with you all … but it’s been hard to keep wanting to share because people say the meanest things !!! If you don’t like a post … just keep it to yourself and unfollow that person !!! There’s no reason to ever go out of your way to make mean comments and bully people ??? Stay happy and nice this holiday season y’all and God Bless !!!!!”
