Britney Spears has been the spotlight for a career that spans more than two decades. The public’s gaze has adored her, criticized her, broken her, and now, attempting to build her up again with teary onlookers rooting for the pop star.
Recently, she has been all over the news regarding her conservatorship, something which the Britney fandom has been trying to save her from for a long time. Conspiracists have pondered everything, from whether the pop-sensation was even real or a clone, to whether she was sending secret SOS messages on her Instagram posts. The theory that went around a few months ago was that Britney was asking for help. This came after one user asked if she did actually need help, she should wear yellow. In a following post, she had done just that.
However, now conspiracists are rightfully saying “I told you so,” and the #FreeBritney movement has uplifted and soared once again.
Recently, Spears has broken her silence on her 13-year conservatorship. On Wednesday, in a 23-minute interview she had read in court, she confessed to the Judge, Breda Penny that she was “traumatised” by the situation that controlled her life since 2008, as per VICE.
She demanded that the conservatorship end and revealed just how constrictive, and borderline (in my opinion, writes Cape {town} Etc’s Ashleigh Nefdt) inhumane.
Against her will
- Spears confessed that under her arrangement, she was required to use an IUD (a form of birth control) that was against her will and was prohibited from removing the IUD.
- She was also put on lithium also against her will
- and as per the BBC, was denied from marrying her boyfriend.
According to VICE, she had to “shoulder the cost of everything she claims her conservators have made her do, along with the attorney’s fees for her father Jamie Spears.”
Spears also expressed that until 2019 her father had controlled the everyday details of her life “although a professional conservator, Jodi Montgomery, has since assumed that role,” (VICE).
To the court, Spears said: “It’s my wish and my dream for all of this to end, I just want my life back.”
She also apologized to her fans for not being transparent, but expressed that because of her pride she was embarrassed to share what happened to her.
“I’m bringing this to people’s attention because I don’t want people to think my life is perfect because it’s definitely not at all, and if you have read anything about me in the news this week… you obviously really know now it’s not,” she said as per the BBC.
