If Britney Spears is not making news with her record-breaking numbers, then it’s conservatorship that surfaces time and again. Of course, it’s more than 13 years, but the aftermath prevails. On June 23, Spears addressed the Los Angeles court for her case, even when the #FreeBritney movement was in progress. A lot of speculation occurred in regards to her decision of breaking the silence. To be honest, none of us were prepared for the bombshells she dropped in those 20 minutes of her speech. Her life has been exploited, for the most part, and she decided to have an open court hearing, where everyone would listen to what she needed to say. Check out these emotional statements that came from Spears.
The Conservatorship Must End
After all the tough years, she publicly declared that she wanted her freedom back. 13-years has been a long time, and we agree, it has taken a huge toll on her life. She stayed angry throughout and that reflected in almost every activity she undertook. All she wanted was her life back on track. The conservatorship, she said, was ‘abusive’ and now there must be some change, for she deserved every bit of it. Her pleas to Judge Brenda Penny were actually justified.
The Fear About Her Safety
At every point when she didn’t follow her father or the business associates’ orders, she was threatened. She has been enslaved several times and punished too for not acting according to the orders. She also revealed how doctors prescribed her medication that made her feel drunk. It was a frightening experience for her where she wasn’t allowed to change in a private place or drive her own car. Like, really?
Crestfallen At Her Father
Jamie Spears is the leading figure behind the conservatorship that Spears had to bear for all these years. No wonder their relationship has turned frosty! Perhaps, the damages caused won’t be repaired ever, especially after the court revelations. In 2019, she was put under a treatment facility for $60,000 every month, which was against her will.
She told before the court that she kept crying for over an hour before her dad who enjoyed every bit of it. She even insisted that for all the punishments meted out to her unnecessarily, they must be put in jail – especially because they have too much control. The depth of what Jamie did to his daughter can’t be expressed in words. As per Spears, it was akin to death.
Her Mother Is Equally Responsible
Spears didn’t leave any opportunity in slamming Lynne, her mother, who visited parlors and beauty spas even during the pandemic. In contrast, Spears never had a chance to take care of herself with any such visits or beauty treatments. She feels her mum sees her much like her dad. Well, that hurts.
Reduced To A Slave
The guardianship had damaged her, including her tour commitments, music shows, and all such events in which she participated. After all, it’s her life and she’s definitely not here to be anyone’s slave. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that her experience is similar to what is known in California as sex trafficking. In such a practice, they make a person work against their own will, snatching all-important possessions like cash, credit card, passport, and phone.
She’s Embarrassed
Following the release of her documentary Framing Britney Spears, there was immense public controversy. The film chronicled everything including her primary breakdown and conservatorship. The coverage of the same in The New York Times documentary clearly left her embarrassed, as per her verdict to the court.
Her Desire To Marry Sam Ashgari And Have A Baby
Iranian personal trainer and actor, Sam Ashgari (27), has been dating Spears since 2016. The couple met on the sets of a music video and they’ve been going strong since then. She’s keen to take her relationship to the next level and that’s natural. She wishes to get married and have a baby too, which much to her dismay, stands in the way of her conservatorship. Despite having an IUD, she wanted to go to the doctor to take it out to conceive again, but so far it seems unlikely.
The world is rooting for her and we hope she regains her freedom soon. More power to you Spears!
