The Oops!… I Did it Again star’s announcement comes just over two years since she delivered her first public statement in court as part of the case to terminate her 13 year conservatorship.
Spears’ father Jamie was his daughter’s conservator from its inception in 2008.

In her June 2021 statement, Spears accused her father, family, and management of abuse; detailing instances that involved unwilling prescription of high-strength mood stabilisers and lack of agency over her reproductive health.
“My dad and anyone involved in this conservatorship and my management who played a huge role in punishing me when I said no … they should be in jail,” Spears said in her statement.
Spears’ plight was also the centre of the viral #FreeBritney movement which rallied support for the singer across the globe, with the movement gathering momentum following the release of Netflix’s Britney vs Spears expose.
The #FreeBritney movement mobilised Spears’ supporters.

We couldn’t be more proud to help her share her story at last.”
