This is a thread dedicated to the ongoing #FreeBritney movement which is an initiative by the Britney Army (Britney Spears fandom) to help Britney Spears be freed of her conservatorship. Here are some helpful links to get you started about #FreeBritney:

Holy crap! Yes, you read that right. She was forcibly medicated and sterilized without her consent. The internet rumors weren't just exaggeration. I really hope she can break out of this. No adult deserves to live under that kind of control.

Whoa, this is nuts. Even though I hate her music, this is terrible that her family has such control over Britney. Lithium can seriously mess up your brain and she ought to be allowed to marry and have children since she’s a competent adult, it seems as though her family doesn’t want her to have a partner who will take her away from the family. It looks like the family is living off her money and don’t want her out of their control. I hope she gets free of her family, they sound awful

We should've listened to this guy instead of laughing at him: It doesn't matter whether or not you're a fan of her music. She's still a human being, and no human being deserves to have their autonomy forcibly taken away. The media has a lot to answer for the way they treated her in the late 90s and 00s. They aggressively sexualized her as a teenager, while also obsessing over her virginity. And, as soon as she grew up and started making her own decisions, they started tearing her down at every opportunity. Just look at the way she was treated after she broke up with Justin. It was happening long before her 2007 breakdown.

This is really scary. No wonder she wants to break out for good.

Scary indeed, free Britney. So heartbreaking this is happening to her. Her family are horrible.
These types of situations happen to people with conservatorship all the time. Hopefully, this being put in the public spotlight with Britney, can get people to see that a Conservator can be abusing their power. Conservatorships themselves aren't a bad thing, it's how people misuse them that continues to be a problem. Hopefully, this lets people see that Abuse can be totally destructive to someone like Britney.

Britney is thirty-nine years old. How can this be happening?

Conservatorships are intended for people for extreme dementia or other mental illness so severe that they're completely incapable of taking care of themselves. Britney has never been that far gone. This has never been anything more than her father and the rest of her family trying to exert control over her and keep the cash cow going. It's sickening. I genuinely worry that I'm going to wake up one day and learn about her committing suicide. Such a degrading living arrangement isn't healthy for her. Vulnerable people who feel trapped often choose to escape dead if they can't escape alive. I hope it never gets to that point for Britney.

This's horrible to hear indeed. No person should be drugged up against their will or have the right to marry and have children taken away from them then.
Britney's dad doesn't sound nice at all especially using her money to live off, off instead of his own earned wages.
Hopefully, something can be done about this and Britney gets her life back obviously.

I heard this on the radio yesterday, it's so SO sad. I'm worried about Britney's mental health and that she'll have suicidal thoughts. Thanks, BettyNewbie for explaining the Conservatorships in a post above. I'm not too familiar with the US legal system. We don't have that here in Australia. But we do have guardianship. The concept of guardianship is much the same, the guardian is meant to assist those who are unable to assist themselves, usually due to disability or mental health issues. But seems to be the same. I hope something can be done about it. No person should have their rights taken away from them, her dad and family are just living off her money. They don't give a s**t about her well-being.

Oh no. I hope she'll be okay. This makes me nervous about her well-being.

It's really bad when the parents depend on their kids and not the other way around. In the show business, money always counts only.

Another glorious chapter in American justice
You lot need to tear up that Constitution and start over.
