Britney had asked a judge to end the court conservatorship that has controlled her life as well as money since 2008. In a statement made via a remote connection, the 39-year-old labelled the conservatorship as "abusive", adding that it did more harm than good to her. In her statement, she also condemned her father Jamie Spears, accusing him of controlling her "100,000 per cent".

The last time Britney was known to have addressed the judge was in May 2019. The conservatorship was put in place as she underwent a mental health crisis in 2008.
