Britney Spears Gives Emotional Plea In Court
Britney Spears broke her silence in a court hearing regarding her court-ordered conservatorship that has been in place for nearly 13 years.
“I’m traumatized. I’m not happy, I can’t sleep. I’m so angry, it’s insane,” Spears said. https://t.co/t5kY4DBIEG pic.twitter.com/lX2imOswha

So why is she just speaking out now to end it after 13 years? She didn’t know she COULD until now. She feels like she has no privacy and caretakers would even watch her change when she was naked. She couldn’t see her boyfriend or kids many times even when she was home.
She says she doesn’t want to work for the people she pays. “I worked since I was 17-years-old and this conservatorship is abusive. I don’t feel I can live a full live. I don’t even believe in therapy. I always thought I could take it to God.” “They make me feel like I’m living in a rehab program and not my home. I will do therapy once a week because I do need it. I want to get married and have a baby. I wanted to take the IUD out and have a baby but conservator won’t let me because they don’t want me to have a baby.”
After what we saw today, we should all be supporting Britney at this time.
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.
