On Wednesday, singer and successful recording artist Britney Spears went before Los Angeles authorities in order to continue to plead her case to get the conservatorship dropped.
The singer has lots of support from her fans, her close friends, and the entertainment industry. People in these groups feel strongly that the conservatorship amounts to a loss of her basic human rights.
"I want to be able to get married and have a baby," Spears said during the court proceeding. "I have an IUD inside of myself so that I don't get pregnant, but they [my conservators] don't want me to have any more children."
"They have me going to therapy three times a week and to a psychiatrist. I truly believe this conservatorship is abusive. I don't feel like I can live a full life."
The conservatorship was initially enacted in 2008. The reason the temporary conservatorship was granted in 2008, and was made permanent later that same year, was to protect Spears' assets from potential fraudsters. However, it appears that the conservatorship has touched many other areas of Spears's private life.
Spears' father, Jamie Spears, claims that his daughter is not mentally sound and that for that reasons the conservatorship should continue in order to protect her and her $50 million fortune. However, he himself now co-manages the conservatorship, due to a Feb. 2021 ruling that made it so that he doesn't have solitary control.
