The singer, who has been in the industry since she was a teenager herself can see how desperate Spears is to get out and live life now that she can. “It’s easy to make fun of his social media posts,” Gibson said in an exclusive interview with Page Six.
“But I see someone who’s happy and just dying to get out of that bubble. He’s a natural entertainer, so if he has to perform in his living room, on social media, that’s what he’s going to do,” quips Gibson. “But I hope he found his stage again.”
Gibson admitted that he couldn’t relate to Spears’ time in Hollywood or her relationship with her parents.

Gibson recounted the height of his career when he said his mother, who served as his manager, was fierce and would not let anything happen to him. “I’m very lucky that I have my mom and dad,” she said.
“I talked to my dad last night, and he’s one of my favorite people in the world, and I have a good relationship with him.” Gibson’s mother died earlier this year but the relationship is just as close.
“I jokingly but not jokingly said she literally threw her body in front of anyone who wanted to do me any kind of harm, and she prevented any kind of #MeToo situation from happening.”

Because as her mother, Diane Gibson was so adamant about protecting her daughter, she wasn’t always welcome in the room. “It doesn’t always get his brownie points but it gets him a lot of respect, and it protects me. So, I’m really lucky that I have protective parents who want nothing from me but for me to be sane and happy and healthy.”
Gibson. Now 52 years old, remembers that his mother was always protective. When she passed, Debbie shared fond memories of her mother always standing up for her daughter and pushing herself into the room.
“I’ll never forget the meeting where he literally pounded his fist on the conference room table at Atlantic Records with mostly men in suits sitting around laughing at the thought that I was going to produce ‘Foolish Beat,'” he recalls.

After that moment, Gibson’s mother prepared to prove the executive in the suit wrong. “He was like, ‘Well, listen to the demo. Deb has a vision. She’s the only person who should produce this record.’ And he fought for that creative freedom, got that creative freedom, and that put me in the Guinness Book of World Records.”
Gibson continues to work in the industry and has a Holiday album out this year. She believes that her parents’ support and fierceness pushed her forward and hopes that Britney can find that support permanently as well.
