Exposing Cassie Petrey, CrowdSurf and the TRUTH behind Britney Spears' social media - a #FreeBritney thread

For almost 13 years, Britney Spears has been under a strict conservatorship run by her father giving him and others complete control over Britney's financial and daily life decisions. She never wanted this conservatorship. #FreeBritney

Britney Spears' social media accounts fall under a trademark owned by "Baby One More Time LLC" and because she is under a conservatorship, her father technically owns these accounts. #FreeBritney

For months, people have speculated about Britney's Instagram and social media as she would often post concerning or cryptic messages to her fans like these. #FreeBritney

Britney's brother Bryan went on a podcast last year and gave us a little insight, claiming she sends her content to a team who will approve and post it for her. #FreeBritney

This might be the case. Here is Britney asking someone to tweet out something on her account, proving that she doesn't fully control her own social media. #FreeBritney

So who is actually running Britney's social media? It seems to be Cassie Petrey and Jade Driver, the owners of the digital marketing company "CrowdSurf" who list Britney Spears on their LinkedIn and work with many other celebrities and artists on their social media. #FreeBritney

On their website, CrowdSurf says they specialize in "social media strategy, innovative partnerships, content creation and digital PR." #FreeBritney

So who is Cassie Petrey? She started at the age of 12 running an AOL newsletter for the Backstreet Boys. She got hired at Warner where she led Myspace groups for up and coming artists. Then she met her partner Jade Driver and together they started CrowdSurf. #FreeBritney

On a recent podcast, Cassie said it was Britney Spears who helped CrowdSurf be taken seriously in the pop scene and says they were actually "hired" onto Britney's team by someone who was working with them on Nashville Star. #FreeBritney

Nashville Star is basically American Idol for country singers. The show aired on TV until 2007 and we have evidence that one of the judges, Anastasia Brown, is connected to Britney's business manager Lou Taylor and many of the companies under Britney's name. #FreeBritney

We believe Cassie was hired by Lou Taylor sometime in 2008 to manage Britney's social media, which is a huge problem because Britney was calling Lou Taylor a "crazy lady" and a "stalker" in these emails that were released. #FreeBritney

Lou Taylor is reported to be the "mastermind" of Britney's conservatorship, so it's very problematic that her social media manager was then directly hired by Lou. #FreeBritney

To this day, Cassie follows both Lou Taylor and Britney's manager Larry Rudolph on Instagram. #FreeBritney

Cassie and Crowdsurf's involvement with Britney goes way back. During the Femme Fatale Tour, Crowdsurf was using Britney's social media as a case study to try out a new digital marketing service called "Crowdbooster" #FreeBritney

Crowdsurf also tested programs like "Ampsy" to help monitor Britney's social media. #FreeBritney

Cassie had a very weird reaction when this interviewer pointed out that some fans had noticed that Britney was following her on Instagram and they must be "friends." #FreeBritney

Throughout Britney's stint on the XFactor, Cassie was there taking photos of her like she's a paparazzi. #FreeBritney

On the XFactor, Cassie got to work with Fifth Harmony who also signed a record deal with Britney's manager Larry Rudolph. #FreeBritney

Cassie also works with Larry Rudolph managing new artists like Loren Gray. #FreeBritney

In 2016, Cassie was named on Forbes' "30 under 30" list in part because of her work with Britney Spears. #FreeBritney

One thing we noticed when researching CrowdSurf is they deleted multiple tweets where Britney Spears was originally tagged, as if they were trying to cover up the fact that they are involved with her conservatorship. #FreeBritney

CrowdSurf actually has an entire department dedicated to social media takedowns and copyright notices. #FreeBritney

CrowdSurf was, however, actively promoting Britney's Domination residency in 2018 before it was cancelled. #FreeBritney

In April 2019, news broke that Britney had entered a mental health facility. We have to believe Cassie had a role in posting this on her Instagram to make it seem voluntary, and we all know Britney would NEVER use a :) #FreeBritney

While in the mental health facility, the "all is well" video is posted but the video doesn't really match the caption, which tries to cast doubt on the emails we mentioned earlier calling Lou Taylor a stalker. Who wrote this caption? #FreeBritney

Britney reportedly told the judge that her dad put her into the mental health facility against her will and forced her to take drugs. #FreeBritney

Do you remember when Britney posted about "The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom" except the freedom part was cut out? Well, it turns out that's Cassie's favorite book. #FreeBritney

And remember when Britney posted in support of repealing 50-A? Well, Cassie posted the same exact thing on CrowdSurf's social media. #FreeBritney

Finally, Cassie Petrey took a month-long trip to Hawaii at the same time Britney was there with her boyfriend Sam just a few months ago. She stayed at Montage Kapalua Bay where Britney also normally stays when she goes there too. #FreeBritney

Since the #FreeBritney movement began, there have been many conspiracies surrounding Britney's Instagram. Does she have to get her posts approved or is someone cosplaying as Britney on the internet? We're not sure, but we know someone who knows: Cassie Petrey.

Few more things to add: Cassie and CrowdSurf were included in the thank you with Lou Taylor and the rest of Britney’s team in the Glory booklet. #FreeBritney

And here is comedian Taylor Tomlinson admitting that CrowdSurf manages her entire TikTok without her involvement. #FreeBritney
