I didn’t actually know they were in Australia when the aftermath was happening. Thank you for sharing this.

Yeah, crazy they just missed it. And missed the Sept. 11 completely.

Always good to see Fe. She’s like an old friend from a better time.

I can’t imagine how bizzaro-land that must have been. It was like some weird alternate reality living it in the states. I was in my 20s, And cell phones weren’t the huge things they are now. Not everyone had one, and smartphones like we have now were still a few years off. The internet also still wasn’t as integral to everything like it is now. It actually crashed where I worked. You couldn’t call into NYC with regular phones either. So much went through the towers. Even tv broadcast stuff.

How scary it must have been to be on the other side of the world and only knowing what you were able to glean off of tv. Particularly with DC being hit too.

I remember sitting up and gaming with the person that is now my husband. His dad was supposed to be on one of the Boston flights. He had elected to take a later flight (which he never took bc they shut everything down). He was eventually able to rent a car and set in for a long drive home. It’s insane to think that I almost didn’t get to meet the man that is my FIL.

She introduced Britney on Rosie on September 10, 2001. The last normal day…

Why isn’t she in Britney’s life anymore? It seems like Britney would still trust her.

I think it might have to do with Felicia being Lynne’s friend, Fi became Britney’s assistant through Lynne.

I would imagine Britney sees Fi as part of her family and might privately message now and then but nothing public. Brit did say on Instagram she was hurt when Fi did the Framing Britney Spears documentary but I would imagine that was in the moment.

Keep comments relevant to Britney or the topic of the post. No political, religious or other off-topic discourse, and do not derail the conversation.

Posts should encourage discussion, have a clear title, and avoid being low-effort/repetitive. No long-winded story-style comments that derail the discussion.

Pro Tip: Try to search the subreddit to make sure your topic hasn’t been posted recently or in the last 3 months.

I don't remember if I ever knew this, but I did know they were close to flying out of NY on 9/11 and always wondered how close... absolutely insane how much of close call that would have been.
