Britney Spears Blames Mother for Conservatorship in Since-Deleted Instagram Post: “She Ruined My Life”
As the #FreeBritney movement came to a head earlier this year, Britney Spears didn’t shy away from voicing her frustrations at anyone who didn’t stand up for her in her conservatorship — particularly her own flesh and blood. Back in July, the pop star publicly lashed out at her sister, Jamie Lynn, and her father, Jamie, and she’s now doubled down on those claims by blaming her mother, Lynne Spears, for the conservatorship that allowed Jamie to control nearly every aspect of Spears’ life for 13 years. “What people don’t know is that my mom is the one who gave him the idea,” she wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post, according to BBC News. “I will never get those years back… she secretly ruined my life.” She continued, “You know exactly what you did. My dad is not smart enough to ever thin...
Britney Spears Files to Have Her Father Removed From Conservatorship

Britney Spears Endorses the #FreeBritney Movement
Last month, Britney Spears asked the courts to prohibit her father from regaining conservatorship of her estate. While a judge has since determined that the current structure will remain in place until at least early 2021, the legal battles continue. According to TMZ, her lawyer’s latest filings included an article about the #FreeBritney movement, along with the note that Spears “welcomes and appreciates the informed support of her many fans.” The pop star’s father, James “Jamie” Spears, has overseen nearly every aspect of her life since 2008, when she was hospitalized for psychiatric treatment. That continued without interruption until late 2019, when her dad temporarily stepped aside to deal with his own health issues. Having seemingly recovered, Jamie is now back to doing what...
Britney Spears Asks Court to Prohibit Her Father from Regaining Conservatorship
After more than a decade, Britney Spears is seeking to permanently break free from her father’s conservatorship. According to documents filed on Tuesday, the pop star officially asked the court to not allow her father, James Spears, to regain control over her life. From 2008 to 2019, James oversaw nearly every major aspect of his daughter’s existence — from personal matters like her relationships and health to financial affairs related to her career. The “Womanizer” singer was placed under such a conservatorship following a series of public meltdowns and hospitalizations. However, in recent years, many of Britney’s fans have called into question her father’s motives. Believing he and his team may have unfairly taken advantage of the conservatorship for their own personal benefit, they bega...
