The world was following along with Britney Spears‘ conservatorship case on Wednesday. During the case, Spears spoke out for the first time in years about how the conservatorship, which prevents her from making any major personal or financial decisions about her life, has affected her. In response to the situation, many celebrities, such as Mariah Carey and Khloe Kardashian, have taken to social media to share their support for Spears and the “#FreeBritney” movement.
Spears issued a series of heartbreaking statements during the course of the hearing. She shared some serious claims, including that she was told that she could not get married and that she is on birth control against her will. The singer also made it abundantly clear that she wants her conservatorship to end, as she said, “I just want my life back, it’s been 13 years and it’s enough. It’s enough and it makes no sense at all … I’m done. I want to sue my family to be totally honest with you.” Spears also shared that she wants the ability to choose her own lawyer, adding, “The main reason why I’m here is because I want to end the conservatorship without being evaluated.”

Valerie Bertinelli took aim at those in Spears’ orbit who have been at the center of this case. Spears has been trying to get her father, Jamie Spears, removed as the conservator of her estate. While he was removed as the conservator of her person, he is still a conservator when it comes to her finances.
Justin Timberlake
After what we saw today, we should all be supporting Britney at this time.
— Justin Timberlake (@jtimberlake) June 24, 2021
Regardless of our past, good and bad, and no matter how long ago it was… what’s happening to her is just not right.
No woman should ever be restricted from making decisions about her own body.
