Britney Spears has shattered her silence about the conservatorship that has controlled much of her life for the last 13 years at a highly anticipated court hearing today.
And she did not hold back.
More below…
In a shocking developing story, the 39-year-old singer detailed her angst at the legal agreement – overseen by her father Jamie Spears – that has governed her personal and professional life since 2008.
Speaking to the judge virtually, she began:
“It’s my wish and my dream for this to end.”
Refusing the suggestion that aspects of the hearing ought to be redacted for privacy, she continued:
“They’ve done a good job at exploiting my life. So I feel like it should be an open court hearing and they should listen to what I have to say.”
She added:
“A lot has happened since two years ago, the last time I was in court. I don’t think I was heard on any level when I came to court last time.
I’ve lied and told the whole world I’m okay and I’m happy. If I said that enough, maybe I’d become happy. … I’m in shock. I’m traumatized. … I’m so angry it’s insane.
I would honestly like to be able to sue my family. After I’ve told the whole world I’m okay, it’s a lie. I’m not happy, I can’t sleep, I’m depressed, I cry every day.”
She claimed she was forced into a 2018 concert pact, and forced to change her medication too.
Speaking on that, she said:
“Not only did my family not do a goddamn thing, my dad was all for it.”
Spears stressed that she said she didn’t even know she could petition to end the conservatorship. She claims that she was led to believe she would have to evaluated again for that.
When discussing the notion of seeing another psychiatric specialist, the songbird shared:
“I’m scared of people. I don’t trust people with what I’ve been through. It’s not okay to force me to do anything I want to do. … I truly believe this conservatorship is abusive. I don’t feel like I can live a full life.”
Conclusively, the performer told the presiding judge:
“I want my life back. I truly believe this conservatorship is abusive … I want to end the conservatorship without being evaluated. I want to petition to end the conservatorship. This conservatorship is doing me way more harm than good. I deserve to have a life.”

Yes we Do..
I cried when she said they didn’t let her marry or become a mom and don’t even let her go to the doctor to remove the IUD they put on her!
They’re real monsters and I hope after she’s free, she goes after all of them!
At least neither of them tried to deny any of her accusations..the clock is ticking and they know Karma is coming 🙌🏻
#FREEBRITNEY
My heart is truly heavy for her this whole matter is a depressing mess to begin with, she needed not just help but love and support not be subjected and caged as a bird who has no freedom of her own. As she said too, everyone from the family, court, media, and fans have all said what they want – yet she has been left without a voice nor heard for herself smh.
FREE BEYONCE!
FREE BRITNEY!!!!! NOBODY DESERVES THIS TREATMENT!!! LISTEN TO HER AND FREE HER! How could she be incapable of caring for herself, but it’s okay for her to make millions for these people around her. It doesn’t make sense! I AM SO PROUD OF BRITNEY FOR SPEAKING UP FOR HERSELF!! The world is watching and we love you Britney!
This why I never made fun of her dancing because one doesn’t lost that ability something has to happen mentally for you to lose that, and hearing what she’s been through for the last 13 years why would she even be trying to dance. He life was F. U. C. K & she was & is still suffering. This is heartbreaking this girl is strong
Just retired already💅🏿 Useless b I t c h 🤳🏿
She accomplished more when she was a child than you will accomplish in a whole lifetime. If anyone is useless it’s your tired àss. 😂😂😂
You’re a fûcking joke! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Got damn, someone needs to beat ur motherfuckin ass
This is sad. I know Britney needs help, but looking her away and taking away her independence and human freedom is only going to make her mental state worse. Her family is going to sell this experience in a “tell all” documentary, book or biopic to continue to keep the money coming in, 🤦🏾♂️❗
Britney deserves happiness. Her family however need to be locked up.
This story seems very off and weird. I do believe Britney deserves to control her own money and I feel sorry for her because she’s gone through so much mentally through out her career. Is the record label trying to get control of her estate? If her father doesn’t have control who will control her estate? I hope this works out for her she doesn’t seem happy. Britney has been controlled through out her entire career even before her conservatorship. The conservatorship was put in place back in 2008 because of her mental breakdown. They need to work this out and figure what needs to be done to make the situation better for her. Clearly she won’t perform again until this mess is over.
i guarantee if she’s of freed from the control of the conservatorship, bad things will happen. she’ll make bad choices, embarrass herself in public and probably get taken to the cleaners financially by the boyfriend. and you’ll never get another performance out of her. i understand her feelings but i believe her mental
issues are beyond what we know
Exactly… seems there’s more to the story. Obviously someone wants to take control because she won’t be able to do it by herself. Someone’s forcing her to make these decisions. I do hope it works out for her though. The conservatorship which is like a guardianship was put in place back in 2008 to protect her after her horrible mental breakdown. If something was to unfortunately happen again who will help her and control her estate? Go figure? You know what happens next and who will control her estate.
She’s not well. She should not have control of her estate. Just look at her Instagram. She is not a functioning adult. She’s child like and mentally unstable.
Her boyfriend will have a windfall if she gets control of her finances.
They had her looking a mess to the world! However in this court case Britney was articulate, coherent and very present which means she prob wasn’t on the meds! I can’t believe her dad had her taking lithium while she was touring tho and changing her meds not even informing her what it was for smh!
Brittany clearly has mental health issues. The court is not going to allow family to have this much control over someone who is mentally stable. There is more going on behind close doors.
I’ve known indiviuals who suffered from bi-polor disorder, some are excellent at imitating what they perceive as normal behavior although they are extremely crazy.
Her career was back on track with several albums, tours and the Vegas Residency. Wasn’t she supposed to start a new one when everything ended abruptly ?
I mean ok we don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes. But at least she let people see her true colors.
I can imagine it was put in place for her best interest back then… but obviously this is all about their interest now (that monster who’d be considered as her father and whoever is in this mess with him).
Are people really that thirsty over money ? I swear human kind is the worst. That planet would be so much better without us. Realistic truth.
“[…] planet […] better without us.”
Only demons think/aspire to this.
This planet was created for YOU!
