You’ve probably noticed that the hashtag #FreeBritney has been popping up a lot on your social media lately, and here’s why: Despite being one of the most famous celebrities on the planet, Britney Spears has almost no control over her life. This is because she is under a conservatorship that gives her father, James Spears (aka Jamie), control of almost everything she touches, including her money, her health, and her daily routine. Now fans are petitioning the government and gathering support for #FreeBritney as their next court date approaches. There’s a lot to unpack, so here’s what you need to know:
First, a (super brief) story of Britney’s guardianship
Britney was placed under guardianship in October 2008, after she was placed in a 5150 involuntary psychiatric detention at UCLA. At that time, the court placed her under the custody of her father and an attorney named Andrew Wallet. But understand this: just a month later, Britney returned to work. She was a guest star on How i met your mother, opened the MTV Video Music Awards, filmed a full documentary, and He released an incredible album, all of which the #FreeBritney movement believes are indicators that it was being exploited.
Fast forward to March 2019, and co-conservative Andrew Wallet resigned, saying that “substantial prejudice, irreparable harm and immediate danger will result in the conservatee and his estate if the relief requested in this document is not granted ex-ante. part”. Meanwhile, Jamie applied for a temporary release from duty in September, and Britney’s care manager Jodi Montgomery took over as conservator. According to Page six, Jodi will remain Britney’s conservative until August 22 of this year.
So what does conservatorship mean? HALF Exactly?
By NewsweekBritney has to ask her father “to approve every important decision he makes, from business, health, to voting and marriage.” Meanwhile, a 2016 New York Times article He wrote: “His most mundane purchases, from a drink at Starbucks to a song on iTunes, are recorded in court documents as part of the plan to safeguard the great fortune he has earned but ultimately does not control.”
FYI, #FreeBritney started in 2019
Shortly after Wallet stepped down as conservator, Britney was reported to have checked into a facility because she was upset by her father’s ill health. But the podcast Britney’s Gram received a voice message from a Anonymous paralegal source who claimed that the pop star was actually being detained against her will, and that Jamie ordered her hospitalized after she refused to take her medications.

You can listen to the previous voicemail, but here is a transcript:
“Hi. I can’t reveal who I am. I just heard the last episode and you guys are up to something. I used to be a paralegal for a lawyer who worked under Britney’s conservatorship. I’m not with them anymore. What’s going on? it’s haunting to say the least. Basically Britney was on rehearsals for Domination. Jamie Spears caught Jamie’s attention due to the fact that Britney was not taking her medication as prescribed. He was missing many doses and simply did not take them. So they took her to the doctor, the doctor said, ‘Okay, if you don’t want these medications, let’s take a new one.’ She refused to take the new one. Then Jamie said, “Either you take this medication or the program goes off, and I’m withdrawing my support and you can’t do it.” Britney did not follow Jamie’s instructions and was therefore true to her word, pulled the show, and said verbatim, “Blame it on my illness.” […] Britney has been in the mental facilities since mid-January. Of course, yesterday’s statement said that she entered last week, that’s not true. She has been there since mid-January. There is no timeline, given that I have not worked at the company for a little over two weeks, but there is no particularly visible end date for this stay at this mental center to end. She did not want to go. […] From what I understand, this was not a decision she made at all. “
