Should i sell out britney?? help!

[jakk-attakk]

ok i'm really in need of help right now. I have pictures of Britney Spears - like private pictures I took of her and I've been offered £5,000 to sell them to a British tabloid. Its nothing incriminating and wont do any damage to her or her career, its just Britney dancing in a club and looking a bit drunk. they just want them cos they're private pics and think people will be interested in seeing what Britney's like away from paps and when she thinks the worlds media arent watching her.

Should I sell them? Like i said its nothing scandalous (or it'd be worth a lot more than £5,000!!) and that is soo much money to me which i could really really use. urgh i'm sure Britney wouldnt give two sh*ts (in fact i think she'd be quite happy to have even more column inches) but i'm wrestling my conscience and I feel guilty and like i'm doing a really bad thing to a girl who is sold out by everyone around her and cant trust anyone. But then again, she doesnt know me, so it wouldnt exactly hurt her and im sure she has more important things to care about. argh confused.

honest opinions?

You took the pictures? did u meet her?

I honestly dont know what to suggest

 

[Aprill]

I say no, She has been victimized enough, even if they are harmless, the media will change the scope of that and even in the end,

1.She is a person

2.She is a mother (no matter how bad)

3. She deserves respect and privacy

Every aspect of her life shouldnt be about the all mighty dolla

I honestly dont think I would do it.

It's a tough call...esp when it comes to money. However I don't think I'll sell out something for just 5k. Not when it's something that would involve demoralizing her even more. I tend to have a guilty conscience and I believe one day karma will bite me in the butt. if I scrutinize anyone in any way. Now, if they were upping it to say 50k...Hmmm *ponders* lol

 

[dentaldee]

if they were pictures of you would you be ashamed to see them in a rag magazine? I guess thats how I would look at it......would it be something that would upset me? and also if she's your friend I wouldn't sell her out no matter what the pic is.

 

[jakk-attakk]

see thats what i thought. i feel like im not just selling out britney, im selling out myself. i wanna be better than that but when you're ridiculously broke (and in debt) and someone offers you 5k just to give them a picture you already have.....

my friends think im insane but i'll still have to live with myself long after the money's gone. i already feel guilty everytime i see her videos and i havent even done anything (yet?)

i know she calls the paps and asks them to come take pics of her and i know she doesnt exactly value her own privacy but does that make it right for me to profit from her? urgh confused.com!

 

[Aquilah]

I wanna know how you came into being able to have pics like that LOL!

I wouldn't do it... Sounds to me like you already feel guilty about it, and you haven't even done anything. How did the tabloids even know you had these pics? I think she's been sold out and victimized enough... No, a few more pics won't hurt her career, but it's just another way of raping her as a person IMHO. I'd leave it be and live with yourself w/ a clear conscious.

 

[jakk-attakk]

she was in a club, i met her very very briefly (basically just to ask for a picture and she agreed). i put the pictures on my myspace and some little sh*t stole them, then contacted the news of the world and tried to sell them lol. thankfully i put a tag on them saying what my myspace is and then the notw contacted me cos i have copyright of them obviously, offering thousand for them.

i think i'd be proud of myself if i was a decent person, did the right thing and i DIDNT sell them, so i dont think i will. im a fan of britney and dont want to cringe everytime i see her on tv or in magazines.

even though she is hounded constantly by the paparazzi and is not really helping her situation with all that is going on, I wouldn't do it. It's clear that there is something seriously wrong with her and that she needs help. You would just be feeding into that beast of the paparazzi and really, the girl needs to be left alone so she can try and mend. I think you asking us for our opinion you feel and know deep down that it isn't the best thing to do.

 

[Mirtilla]

I don't know what to suggest. Exactly like you, I would be in two minds about such an offer!!

 

[CellyCell]

Honestly, I would sell... that's broke Celly speaking though.

If you knew her personally, than I understand where the whole guilt lies at. But it was in a public setting and all is fair game, I'm sure other folks took pictures of her there too.

If she were in a private place - than yeah, I wouldn't touch that. I don't get the invading her privacy thing, she calls for the attention on purpose... sick or not. That's a lot of money... give some out to charity if you decide to get it. Haha. Dunno.

 

[pinksugar]

I think I agree with Celly. Plus, she knew you were taking the photos and they're nothing incriminating. I think I agree with dentaldee. Are they photos you'd be ashamed to see of yourself in a mag?

I also think that you really will have to live with yourself after this. If you don't believe that you will feel good about it, then don't do it. That being said, I don't think you should feel bad if you DID choose to do it.

 

[SalJ]

I say no, don't do it. She let you take the pic as a fan and if you feel guilty about it, trust your gut.

 

[CellyCell]

$10,000 though... I'm like the little devil on your shoulder.

 

[Ricci]

Id do it for 1 million dollars

but honestly I want Britney to have her kids back soI wouldnt sell them

 

[Nox]

I dunno, if the pics aren't that damaging, then it's really a horse-a-piece. So she's at a club, and she was drinking. Big deal. It's not like she is underage. If I'm not mistaken, many people do that when they go to dance clubs, and she's already been photographed in way more compromising situations. If it is something that could damage her legally, then I believe you could have something else on your hands entirely.

If you want the cash and it's that important to you, do it. If it really bothers you, then don't it. Only you know the full and true circumstances of how you came about acquiring those photos. Mostly all of us are born with a conscience that tells us to do the "right" thing, and it should kick in right about now. Follow it.

 

[bCreative]

I don't think you should do. The girl has enough going on right now, and I'm sure she doesn't need anything else out there about her.

 

[Ashley]

I don't think so. She probably let you take pictures of her because she thought you were a fan, not to make money off of her. I think she already has enough to worry about and has been hounded by the media for most of her life. I just feel as though it is not right.

 

[Manda]

If they aren't that bad I would sell them, she's a public figure, it's expected. If it's just her being drunk, big whoop, it's not like you're really bringing down Britney anymroe than she already is down. Although, since you're having such a tough time and feeling morally guilty about it, then don't. Those types of organizations don't wait, it will be old news and they will have gotten wind of something better (or worse?) to use against her.
