Since the documentary Framing Britney Spears brought to light the tremendous level of scrutiny the former pop princess faced relatively early in her life and career, the conservatorship of Britney Spears has piqued curiosity. During a remote hearing published by The New York Times today, Spears made her first on-the-record comments regarding the situation, calling the conservatorship “abusive” and pressing for an unconditional stop to it.
She said, “I’ve been in denial.” “I’ve been stunned. I’ve been traumatized. “All I want is my life back.” She wants the conservatorship to expire “without having to be assessed,” she said. After another Times investigation revealed that she had been trying to end the conservatorship for nearly a decade, she made these remarks. Spears “expressed severe objection to the conservatorship earlier and more frequently than had previously been known,” according to records. She stated earlier this year that she will not return to performing until her father resigns as her conservator, and she reiterated the idea during an Instagram Live session.
Fortunately for Spears, she has her share of supporters which include pop queen Cher, who promised to try to help in response to a #FreeBritney supporter on Twitter, and Britney’s boyfriend Sam Asghari, who posted a photo of himself in a “Free Britney” T-shirt on Instagram in solidarity.
