I thought this was a great analysis of what was going on in Brittany's world in her final months and weeks. It shows a perfect storm of the meanness of Hollywood, the trauma of childhood stardom, and the greed of a manipulative con man. You could see how talented she was and how kind, and how broken she was.
A lot of her fans want some easy straight forward answer presented with a pretty little bow. That's just another fantasy that people feed into. Not everything is black and white; not everything is wrapped up neatly in a 60 minute episode. The inclusion of social media YouTubers was also poignant. It feeds into obsession as well as how beliefs and feelings are used instead of facts - by some people. Although this tragedy happened over 10 years ago, people still go online - with little or no facts - and find ways to feed their anger.
In the end it's a sad story of a young person in the spotlight who got involved with a terrible person at a very vulnerable time in her life.
