Britney Spears' 12-year conservatorship was just extended. Here's a look inside the arrangement that prevents her from legally controlling her life and $59 million fortune

a conservatorship is "unusual for someone as young and productive as Spears."

In 2019, Jamie requested to extend his daughter's conservatorship to more than 10 states, including Hawaii, Florida, and Louisiana, Newberry reported. She also spent $1.1 million on her legal and conservator fees that year. Her father took home $128,000 of that.

FreeBritney - also would be interested in a business take on how a person who had apparently previously filed for bankruptcy, and whose previous business ventures failed is now conservator of a multi million dollar estate. How? From Medium:

BritneyHiatus Leave her bank account alone. That's the real reason why she's on this!

Her net worth is supposed 2be $215m + but it’s at $59m, so only 3 more million than 2007 when she sold millions of records since then, outsold concerts around the world (2009/2011/2018) &outsold shows at her vegas residency (2013-2018) ...WhereDidHerMoneyGo FreeBritney

I also want to say that the initial cancellation of her Domination residency was in part to her father’s “health issues” not because she was “checking herself” into a mental health facility. **ALLEGEDLY**

Her dad and business manager are leeches freeBritney

globelamp Wack!!! FreeBritney now!!

Four albums, a greatest hits album, a remix album, three world tours, a four year residency where she made half a million per show, $20 million for judging on X Factor, countless perfumes and a lingerie line but she’s only made $59 million. Britney is being robbed and exploited

Jesus christ. She's a grown woman! freebritney

I love Britney and it makes me angry and upset to see her trapped in this. She's released 4 albums, done TV shows, a number of world tours and a residency show and yet she isn't allowed to drive order Starbucks without permission? It's so wrong FreeBritney

This is f*%*d 🤬🤬🤬🤬. I don’t understand the thought process behind this. Let her live her life 😭😭😭😭

End the conservatorship.

Lmao they just left her 59mill

Britney Spears has been trying to get out of the cship since the very beginning, she called a lawyer for help but they didn’t let her because she DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT to hire one, despite being an hard working and functional woman FreeBritney

If she isn’t mentally stable enough to run her own life, she shouldn’t be performing. That’s exploitation FreeBritney

-Lifetime conservatorship -Not allowed to drive -Phone calls monitored -Can’t be around others without- vetting/permission -Kids threatened to be taken when rules broken -Held against her will for refusing certain meds freebritney

KimKardashian please help her

KimKardashian what are we going to do about this? I have ideas...

How is Britney Spears unable to manage her own life but has been performing, recording and writing for the past 12 years? Make it make sense. What is going on is not right at all. This is her life. FreeBritney wtf?

Hear me out, what if this girl really is bat shit crazy. Just saying.

This is modern day slavery how can a woman who is able bodied to perform for 5 years in Vegas, and tour the world three times in the past 11 years not be legally able to control her money or life if she makes money for her father who is prohibited from seeing her kids

BritneyHiatus She can spin through fire 50 ft in air on stage but can’t drive to Starbucks, hmm let’s think about it. Either they’re taking advantage of a mentally unstable person by forcing her to be a show pony, or she isn’t mentally unstable at all and they’re just financially benefiting.

The first 3 sentences literally are contradicting.

auggiespears 😔

She’s being robbed

Also glad you called out that Britney Spears has been put under a conservatorship by the legal system but has not been allowed to hire her own lawyer. FreeBritney

Her net worth does not make sense ..

Good write up. Worth also mentioning that ‘sources close to the singer’ (always unnamed) who say the conservatorship is a good thing/she needs it are likely to be benefitting financially from it/rely on it for income. So they’re biased. FreeBritney
