“Free Britney” Britney Spears, What’s Really Going On?
If you are one of Britney Spears’ 25.6 million followers on her Instagram or her TikTok page, you may have noticed something is off.
Conservatorship
Back in 2008 when Spears had her very public meltdown, the court granted conservatorship to her father. Conservatorship in other areas is called “legal guardianship” over financials and many personal decisions. This situation is odd as Spears is only 37. Most conservatorships are for those who cannot take care of themselves in many aspects.

Some fans, on the other hand, believe this agreement is more for exploitation. This concern started the #FreeBritney movement. Jamie Spears hired an attorney for Britney to get a better hold of the large movement, as well as for some damage control.
Mental Health
Sources for TMZ reported the efficacy of Spears’ medication caused her instability. The source continued how the pop star wants to do more things, however, can’t until they find a cocktail of medications that work.

In April 2019 Spears stayed at a mental health facility after her father suffered health problems. Britney assured her fans she was taking care of her health and wellness.
No Stranger To Controversy
Britney is no stranger to controversy and drama. In 2006 Kevin Federline and Britney divorced, two weeks later, she was spotted with Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. Britney checked into rehab that February and checked right back out the next day.
The night after she checked out of rehab surrounded by paparazzi, Britney shaved off her long locks of hair. It is one of the most known moments of a pop icon. The pop star had two more tries at a rehab facility. Spears ended up firing her manager and bodyguard, her management team and lawyer resigned shortly after.
OK! Magazine had a photo shoot with Britney that Summer. The magazine was quoted saying, “What we experienced was a young girl who is desperately in need of help. And sadly she has surrounded herself with too many people who are pretending that nothing is wrong”. The photos shouldn’t have been used, she was put on the cover despite that fact.
Spears was in a standoff with ex-Kevin Federline that resulted in an involuntary psychiatric hold. This was the straw that broke the camels back. The hold was the beginning of Britney’s father and her lawyer gaining conservatorship, therefore, gaining full control of her assets.
Support
Britney has gone through a lot of hard times and she still keeps a smile on her face. Her fan army is either supportive or seem to be sincerely worried about her. Spears has court on July 22nd to possibly get her conservatorship removed.
Demi Lovato was also showing support for her fellow Disney Alumn and X-Factor Judge. Taryn Manning took to her Instagram to show support for her Crossroads co-star. She captioned her post “Britney I know you’re strong af and have your own brain and thought process. To me you look happy and like you’re having a blast! Keep up the happy posts and your faith in Jesus Christ. How about instead of #freebritney we say #GodIsWatchingOverBritney How about let’s give this wonderful woman the dignity she deserves and earned ✝️ Until you know the facts stop speculating and perpetuating the father of lies. We all know she’s under a type of control that’s unfair and things will be fixed. Have faith. Wish her well! Send good vibes of no fear! Please!” ✝️❤️ #alldarknesscomestolight
Hopefully, Brittany Spears is okay and fans can’t wait to hear updates.
