Britney Spears fans, affectionately called the #BritneyArmy, came ready for war against proponents of the singer’s ongoing conservatorship plan.
As has been widely reported, Wednesday (July 22) marked the date the diva’s case would be reopened for review before the court. Due to the global health crisis, she reportedly attended virtually via video conference. Her supporters, on the other hand, opted to take the live approach despite the public being barred from the courthouse.
Setting up shop in front of L.A.’s Stanley Mosk Courthouse, dozens of sign-wielding protests gathered to demand Spears be released from a court-ordered conservatorship that’s controlled everything from her personal life to her finances, medical care, and more for the last 12 years.

In the past, members of the public have been allowed in the court to view similar hearings. However, due to the high-profile nature of the case (and the ongoing global health crisis), the judge barred the media and any unnecessary spokespersons from entering.
This isn’t the first time the #BritneyArmy got in formation for their fave.
In late 2019 (as seen in footage obtained by TheBlast), the group organized a peaceful protest to call for an end to what they deemed ‘conservatorship abuse.’
