She wants her conservatorship to come to an end

Finally, after all these years, Spears publicly declared that she wants her freedom back.

“I just want my life back. It’s been 13 years and it’s enough,” she said in the address via video link.

“I’m not happy. I can’t sleep. I’m so angry. It’s insane,” she said, adding that she cries every day.

“I truly believe this conservatorship is abusive. I want changes, I deserve changes,” Spears pleaded with Judge Brenda Penny.

She considers herself a “slave”

Concerning her previous music and tour commitments during the guardianship, Spears said she “is not here to be anyone’s slave”.

“It’s my wish and dream for all of this to end.”

She added: “In California, the only similar thing to this is called sex trafficking, making anyone work against their will, taking all their possessions away: credit card, cash, phone, passport.”

She’s scared for her safety

Spears said her father and his business associates regularly threaten her when she doesn’t follow their orders.

“If I don’t do this, what they tell me to do, enslave me to do, they’re gonna punish me,” she said.

She also said doctors put her on medication that made her feel “drunk” and that she isn’t even allowed to get changed in private or drive her car.

She’s NOT happy with her father

Spears’ dad, Jamie, has been the leading figure behind her conservatorship, so it’s no surprise their relationship has been frosty. But after her court revelations, we’re not quite sure if it will ever be repaired.

Spears told the court she was put in a US$60,000-a-month treatment facility against her will in 2019: “I cried on the phone to my dad for an hour and he loved every minute of it,” she said.

She didn’t hold anything back: “My dad and everyone else who has played a key role in my conservatorship should be in jail. They have way too much control.”

“He made me feel like death, with the depth of what he did to me,” she said about her dad.

She’s also not happy with her mother

Spears also slammed her mother, Lynne, who she claimed visited beauty spas during the pandemic.

“But I didn’t go to the spa or have my nails done for a year,” she said.

“My mum sees me like my dad does.” Ouch.

She’s understandably embarrassed by all of it

The public controversy surrounding Spears’ case exploded in February following the release of the documentary Framing Britney Spears, which chronicled her initial breakdown and conservatorship.

Spears told the court she was “embarrassed” by her portrayal in The New York Times documentary, in which fans claimed she is essentially being held prisoner.

“I don’t want to be in this stupid conservatorship any more. It’s embarrassing and humiliating,” she said.

“I just want my life back. It’s been 13 years and it’s enough. I’m done.”

She wants to marry Sam Ashgari and have a baby

“I want to be able to get married to my boyfriend and have a baby, but the conservatorship told me I can’t do that,” she told the court.

“I have an IUD [intrauterine device] inside me to prevent me from having a baby. I want to go to a doctor and take it out so I can have a baby, but they [the conservatorship] told me no,” she added.

Asghari is also making his voice heard

Well, kind of – if a T-shirt counts.

Understandably, Asghari has stayed tight-lipped over the years, but shortly before Spears’ court appearance he posted a photo on Instagram of him wearing a shirt reading: “Free Britney”.

Yas, Sam! He’s finally doing what we’ve been wanting him to do for years, and looking good while doing so.

So what now?

The hearing did not involve any petitions from Spears’ lawyer, meaning that a decision on breaking the conservatorship was not asked for. Judge Penny said that she will set a hearing as soon as possible so that Spears can make an official petition.

Freedom is hopefully just around the corner for Britney. We’re rooting for her!
