Real Lawyer Reacts to Britney Spears Court Statement

In a bombshell development on Wednesday, Britney Spears spoke publicly to the court about wanting to end her conservatorship and the abuse she’s experienced over the last 13 years. Let’s talk about conservatorships, disability rights, and forced sterilization. Is Britney’s story the beginning of a movement towards greater equity and transparency in the way our system treats people with disabilities? DISCUSS.

I feel so sorry for Britney, she’s been used by everyone she trusts – her family, her friends and then that horrible man she married recently! She deserves happiness and she just needs a handful of decent people around her who she can trust ❤

I don't even understand how this happened. I mean I guess I do, but I live in upstate NY and take care of developmentally disabled folks for a living, and I am certainly not saying that all guardians are the best but by and large within our organization it is heavily taken into account what people want and need and just deserve. We can't even lock a cabinet without it going through a drawn out review process and honestly it usually doesn't go through because everyone has the right to access what is in a cabinet in their home unless it can injure them. How a grown woman that maybe had post pardum and a mental breakdown does not deserve to be taken control of like that and it doesn't make sense that even if she needed help for a time that she needed to pretty much be enslaved for 13 years . I mean that shouldn't happen to anyone but at what point was she "incapacitated"? Temporary mental issues or even ongoing issues are not the same as incapacitated.

Her aunt died of cancer right around the same time as the shaved head & her family made sure Kevin got custody of the children bc her family did not want her to stop working! Cameras were even installed in her bedroom and she was allowed to have a door! Britney could work 10- 12 hrs a day 7 days a week but she could not look after herself ? Give me a break! Indentured servitude right here!

Conservatorship in the US literally gives me nightmares. Looks to me like a legal form of abuse that is sanctioned by the government and for which there’s no real remedy as of now. Horrifying

Conservatorships have also been historically used against native populations indicating the racist idea that they can’t handle power or money when they get it…unlike white people who are consistently bastions of morality. “Killers of the Flower Moon” investigates one such power grab. I can’t believe anything like this is still legal.

Britney spears was a sex icon that every man wanted back in the day and you opened up the video about forced sterilization and eugenics. It just was like……I dunno, bro. You discredited you before the video even began.

Im happy for her. Its going to take a while for her to forget everything. The fact shes lost her family is horrible! Obviously something happened. Having your family in charge of everything is horrible. They obviously have called someone else to help. They just didnt want to.

It's like for Johnny recently said when this happens to a child listen to that child and help them not just walk away and let them deal with it themselves stand up for them somebody in the family knows right away

February 3, 2025 at 9:30 pm
Water truth about families first we had a long time Johnny that showed the lien effects of a mother how they hijack your childhood and Olivia was not the right skills to understand evil and now we have another one that exploit their child and takes all of their Fame and Legacy and condemned to the child as unfit to hold all of those gifts and take it onto their own and enslave their child praise your father that this is being exposed because it happens in other families that are not famous but you use Brittany and Johnny to bring it to our attention that this does happen in families and some into pedophilia it's not under the rug anymore

I wonder if this lawyer believes everything Britney told the judge. BS was certainly never restricted by the conservatorship when it came to her kids. She handed over 70% custody to Kevin during the conservatorship of her OWN FREE WILL!
Just like she told the judge she was forced to do the 2018 tour when that wasn't true after her management produced her signed agreement & communications to the judge expressing how excited she was to do the tour and only claimed she was forced when she didn't want to do it anymore.
Or when she told the judge she wasn't permitted to drive under the conservatorship and had to be driven around by a security guard when that wasn't true either. She'd in fact rec'd two speeding infractions while under the conservatorship (and has since rec'd another). Don't believe everything BS claims!
If anyone thinks there's nothing wrong w/BS when she's posing & modeling w/dog excrement at her feet and on her floors when she's walking down her fake runways, they're just enablers unless they think it's normal for people to have dog excrement on their floors and not even notice or care!

If you’re deemed disabled as a minor (here below 21) you can NEVER get married UNLESS to another person legally disabled; without losing and owing back all your benefits….
Benefits that basically keep you in abject poverty anyways. So let’s say you are disabled at 17-18-19, now you’re 35 and have met someone amazing. It’s just how life is. They are a normal respectable job like teacher or nurse or public lawyer, A good honest job but not something that rakes in money especially with student loans. Right?
They can’t afford your meds because nurses have usually pretty rotten health care (irony!) teachers can’t afford to only teach and live now they are financially responsible for you too?! This is why disabled people always feel like burdens because the only way to be truly independent is to be separate and never equal.
My small soap box you did a fantastic job with this!
XOXOX

February 3, 2025 at 9:30 pm
Conservationships should be abolished! This is abuse! There are so many other ways of helping people in need. Britney should never have been in one. Having depression, mental illness etc doesn't make you a crazy person and incapable of taking care of yourself. Conservatorships are perfect tool for abusers to have control over their victims. This is so so very wrong!
@admirallily
February 3, 2025 at 9:30 pm
So many problems with this but the biggest red flag to me was always that she was still working like normal without any real say. That is just insanity. As already stated, if she's not well enough to even really care for herself and make important life decisions like medical, then she's not well enough to meet the rigorous performance schedule. I was disgusted when I heard a clip of a planning meeting where someone ELSE pointed out that it was her birthday and would she want the day off and her father and some other lady (don't know if it was her mom or what) said, she will work. Like they were going to force her. Sick.

As far as I know, the reason she made the leap to shaving her head is because she had hair extensions put in that were done too close to the scalp and she was in pain. She was already stressed the hell out and basically just snapped, went “fuck it” and shaved it all off.

So …. I am the guardian of my stepsister who is severely mentally handicapped. She has a conservator for the money her father left her . She can not even bathe herself , I do it all for her . She absolutely needs guardianship and conservatorship . I think ending such things altogether is a step to far because there are people really bad off that really can't be left to take care of themselves. As far as Britney goes I would be interested to see what dr.s actually say about her competency.
