She’s right. Actor Colin Farrell announced he placed his disabled son in an institution and put him in a conservatorship. His son, James, has Angelman syndrome. Colin Farrell, worth an estimated $80 million, doesn't need to put his 21-year-old son in an institution.
Wendy Williams and Britney Spears taught us that putting celebrities in conservatorships and institutionalizing them is wrong. But when celebs put their children in conservatorships and institutions, it’s justified, and we need to mind our business?! Yall are hypocrites.
Colin Farrell has spent the past 21 years using taxpayers' dollars meant for families of disabled children in need to finance his disabled son’s care despite being worth $80 million. He chose the cheaper option to institutionalize his son since home based care is more expensive.

It's wild how supportive yall were of Britney Spears + her memoir, where she wrote about how Colin Farrell allegedly abused her. His lawyers asked her to remove it. Somehow, yall can't fathom how morally wrong institutionalizing his disabled son when he can pay for home care is.

Yall can see someone like Colin Farrell has a history of abuse. Data shows institutionalizing disabled adults leads to higher instances of abuse and shorten life spans. Home and community-based services are the better option. But, y’all still fight to the death to defend rich
Celebrities with severe intellectually and physically disabled children and less wealth managed not to have them institutionalized Musician Count Basie’s daughter died at age 78 in 2022. She lived for 38 YEARS after her parents died because they never institutionalized her.
Notice how those defending decisions to institutionalize disabled people adults mainly focus on the parents? There doesn’t seem to be much interest in what’s best for the actual disabled person. That’s what ableism looks like.
Shout out to everyone preaching about the goodness and benefits of institutions but would never choose to live in an institution. Half a century of research shows that 24/7 home care is best for disabled adults. As a multimillionaire, Colin Farrell can afford it for his son.

We have given you research and evidence-based solutions that home care is best. What more do yall want? Do you need a crash course in history showing how conservatorships were created to help “disappear” Native Americans? Conservatorships have always included deadly abuse.
