First, AJ said, “I could tell you right now that, my thoughts and my prayers are with her. I am a hundred percent team Britney…She’s a sweetheart, she’s pretty much my neighbor. I mean, she doesn’t live very far from me. I see her often, but, uh, you know, yeah. Well, I mean, cause she goes to the same shopping center that I do. There’s this amazing cupcake shop that she goes through that I go to.”

He then began a story about how he ran into her at that shop.

“No, I mean, like the last time I saw her it broke my heart. Last time I saw her, she was with a gentleman. I’m assuming it was security and, or maybe a driver because I know based on her words, which I do believe 100%, you know, she’s not allowed to drive herself. She’s not allowed, she can’t do anything like literally she can’t do anything,” he recalled.

AJ continued, “When I, when I last saw her, my wife asked me to go in to get some cupcakes for a birthday party that for one of my daughter’s friends. Went in, she was there, she looked right at me and I was like, ‘Hey, it’s AJ.’ And she just kind of had this glass face. Like, she just didn’t know who was there. It took her a minute. And then she realized it was me and we, we hugged and we talked for a brief moment, but I could just see that, you know, this, this wasn’t her, like, I’m not looking at the person I knew from years and years ago. And I know a lot of that in my opinion, could be whatever they’re, they’re keeping her on or whatever they have her on, which is just insane. It’s not, it’s not fair. And I just don’t think it’s right. So again, Free Britney, that’s my whole thing, man. All for it.”

He also added, “She can’t even go to go see a doctor, on her own. One thing that really grinds my gears because I am sober and because I am in a, a program, the fact that she cannot stay in contact with anyone from her fellowship, from when she was going to AA meetings, that is, is BS to me because that’s, that’s the whole core of what we do in this program, is fellowship. We lean on each other, we look up to each other for support and, and, and, and, you know, if somebody were to take that from me, it would really be difficult for me to stay sober, honest to God. So, you know, yeah. I just wish for her, honestly.”

There was some hopeful news in Britney‘s journey to free herself from her conservatorship.
