As the #FreeBritney social media campaign continues to pick up steam thanks to the attention brought to Britney Spears‘ latest conservatorship hearing on July 22 (which was ultimately postponed due to hackers interrupting the virtual Zoom meeting), people closest to the legal matter are speaking out – namely the GRAMMY winner’s siblings.

First, her younger sister Jamie Lynn made headlines this week as she praised the singer for being a ‘badass, unstoppable woman,’ but was careful to avoid making comments about her mental health.

Now, their brother – Bryan Spears – is weighing in and dishing on how the family is dealing with the media hoopla surrounding the conservatorship.

Coming on the heels of her last top 40 hit ‘Daisies’ (as we reported here), fans undoubtedly had high hopes for ‘Smile’ as the critical acclaim rolled in upon its early July release.  The refreshed Hot 100 reveals that acclaim may not be reflected commercially, however.
