# Britney Spears Opens Up About Conservatorship in Court
Britney Spears, the iconic pop singer, has been living under a conservatorship for more than a decade, primarily overseen by her father, Jamie Spears. This arrangement severely restricted her autonomy, giving her limited control over her finances, career decisions, and even imposing long-term contraceptive measures to prevent pregnancy. In a recent court appearance in front of a Los Angeles Superior Court, Britney Spears formally requested to terminate the conservatorship.
“I just want my life back,” Spears expressed her desire to Judge Brenda Penny, seeking the end of the conservatorship. She emphasized her wish to have control over her finances and the simple pleasure of being driven in a car by her boyfriend. Spears also mentioned her longing for personal milestones such as marriage and having a baby, which were prohibited under the conservatorship rules.
Support for Britney Spears poured in from her fans, celebrities, and friends on various social media platforms. They called for the conservatorship to be lifted so that she could regain control of her life and decisions.
Former NSYNC member Justin Timberlake took to Twitter to voice his support for Spears, condemning the restrictions imposed on her. He emphasized the importance of a woman’s right to make decisions about her own body and urged the courts and Spears’ family to rectify the situation and allow her to live on her terms.
