Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean recalls meeting Britney Spears years ago: Broke my heart

<p>Singer Britney Spears on Wednesday won the right to choose her own lawyer to help her end a <a href="http://13.235.153.162/photos/from-lithium-intake-to-being-forced-to-go-on-tour-britney-spears-her-slew-of-shocking-revelations-on-conservatorship-393602">13-year-long conservatorship</a> and tearfully pleaded for the court to oust her father immediately from the role of controlling her business affairs. Her father, Jamie Spears, has been a major figure in the conservatorship since he set it up in 2008 when his daughter had a mental health breakdown. He is currently the sole person in charge of her $60 million estate.<br />
<br />
"You're allowing my dad to ruin my life," Spears told the Los Angeles judge by phone. "I have to get rid of my dad and charge him with conservatorship abuse," she added.<br />
<br />
Speaking for about 10 minutes on Wednesday, Spears, 39, said she had always been "extremely scared of my dad."<br />
She said she was fed up with multiple psychological evaluations in the last 13 years and wanted the conservatorship brought to an end without another one.<br />
<br />
“I’m not a perfect person .. but their goal is to make me feel like I’m crazy," Spears said. Details of Spears` mental health issues have never publicly been disclosed.<br />
<br />
Last month she called the legal arrangement abusive and stupid in a 20-minute public address.<br />
Los Angeles Superior Court judge Brenda Penny on Wednesday approved former federal prosecutor Mathew Rosengart to represent Spears going forward. The singer`s court-appointed attorney stepped down last week.<br />
<br />
Rosengart, who has previously represented Hollywood stars Sean Penn and Steven Spielberg, said his goal was to end the conservatorship.<br />
“Does anybody really believe Mr. Spears’ continued involvement is in the best interest of Britney Spears?,” Rosengart said. “If he loves his daughter, it is time to step aside.”</p>

<br />
In June, the pop star complained of being prevented from marrying or having more children and said she was compelled to take medication against her will. Jamie Spears` attorney on Wednesday said that many of the singer`s complaints were not valid.<br />
“I’m not sure Ms. Spears understands she can in fact make medical decisions and can have birth control devices implanted or not," attorney Vivian Thoreen said.</p>

<p>Jamie Spears, father of Britney Spears, has asked for an investigation of the pop superstar`s claims that she had been mistreated under a legal conservatorship by being denied the ability to make her own medical decisions.<br />

Britney Spears has been under conservatorship since she suffered a mental health breakdown in 2008. The "Stronger" singer told a Los Angeles judge last week that she had been forced to take the drug lithium against her will and was prohibited from marrying or removing a birth control device, and that she wanted the "abusive" conservatorship to end. Jamie Spears is a joint conservator of his daughter`s finances and also was in charge of her personal affairs until he stepped down from that position in September 2019. Care manager Jodi Montgomery, a licensed fiduciary, was appointed temporary conservator of personal affairs. Last year, Britney Spears began a legal process to prevent her father from ever returning to that role.<br />

Britney Spears' father asks for probe of her abuse claims

<p>A week after Britney Spears gave an emotional and explosive speech about her conservatorship, the singer's appeal to remove her father Jamie Spears as her conservator has been denied by the court.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Despite public support for the singer, she has been denied the suspension of her dad from the conservator's post.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"The conservator’s request to suspend James P. Spears immediately upon the appointment of Bessemer Trust Company of California as sole conservator of estate is denied without prejudice," the court documents stated, as per Fox News.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Spears’ court-appointed lawyer, Sam Ingham, asked the court to replace Jamie Spears with the Bessemer Trust.<br />
<br />
Reports state that Ingham has only recently filed paperwork requesting that Bessemer be appointed as a co-conservator, which was approved, though the outlet reports that additional paperwork to make Bessemer's role official has yet to be filed.<br />
<br />
Ingham had initially appealed for Jamie's removal late last year, saying that Spears was "afraid of her father." The motion was denied and Ingham refiled again this year. The star has also said she wouldn't perform again until her father was no longer in control of her career.</p>

<p>In her long emotional speech at the court last week, Spears demanded an end to her conservatorship which began 13 years back when she had a very public meltdown.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"I shouldn’t be in a conservatorship if I can work and provide money and work for myself and pay other people," Spears told Judge Brenda Penny. "It makes no sense."<br />
<br />
She also alleged that her father loved the control he had on her and stated that he should be jailed for the way he has treated the singer.&nbsp;</p>

Despite public support for the singer, she has been denied the suspension of her dad from the conservator's post. "The conservator’s request to suspend James P. Spears immediately upon the appointment of Bessemer Trust Company of California as sole conservator of estate is denied without prejudice," the court documents stated, as per Fox News. Spears’ court-appointed lawyer, Sam Ingham, asked the court to replace Jamie Spears with the Bessemer Trust. Reports state that Ingham has only recently filed paperwork requesting that Bessemer be appointed as a co-conservator, which was approved, though the outlet reports that additional paperwork to make Bessemer's role official has yet to be filed. Ingham had initially appealed for Jamie's removal late last year, saying that Spears was "afraid of her father." The motion was denied and Ingham refiled again this year. The star has also said she wouldn't perform again until her father was no longer in control of her career. Britney Spears' father asks for probe of her abuse claims In her long emotional speech at the court last week, Spears demanded an end to her conservatorship which began 13 years back when she had a very public meltdown. "I shouldn’t be in a conservatorship if I can work and provide money and work for myself and pay other people," Spears told Judge Brenda Penny. "It makes no sense." She also alleged that her father loved the control he had on her and stated that he should be jailed for the way he has treated the singer.

Gravitas: Britney Spears demands end to conservatorship

<p>After an emotional speech at the courthouse from Britney Spears, the pop star has got support from celebrities like Justin Timberlake, Mariah Varey and others over her long-standing conservatorship.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Britney Spears addressed a Los Angeles Court judge in which she detailed about conservatorship and said that it is “abusive” and “I don’t feel like I can live a full life.”</p>

<p>She said, “I’ve lied and told the whole world ‘I'm OK and I'm happy’. It's a lie. I thought I just maybe if I said that enough. Because I've been in denial. I've been in shock. I am traumatised. You know, fake it till you make it. But now I'm telling you the truth, OK? I'm not happy. I can't sleep. I'm so angry it's insane. And I'm depressed. I cry every day.”</p>

<p>Soon after her speech went viral, music star Justin Timberlake tweeted, “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. No one should EVER be held against their will… or ever have to ask permission to access everything they’ve worked so hard for. Jess and I send our love, and our absolute support to Britney during this time. We hope the courts, and her family make this right and let her live however she wants to live.”</p>

Britney Spears conservatorship: Justin Timberlake, Mariah Carey tweet in support of pop star

<p>In the years since a judge gave the father of Britney Spears broad control over her life and finances, concerned fans have questioned how the court could continue to deem her unable to protect and care for herself despite the fact that she was still a performing pop star.</p>

<p>Her father and others involved in the conservatorship maintained that it was a smooth-running machine that had rescued her from a low point and benefited Spears, and that she could move to end it whenever she wanted.</p>

<p>All the while, she stayed largely silent on the subject in public.</p>

<p>But now, confidential court records obtained by The New York Times reveal that Spears, 39, expressed serious opposition to the conservatorship earlier and more often than had previously been known, and said that it restricted everything from whom she dated to the color of her kitchen cabinets.</p>

<p>“She articulated she feels the conservatorship has become an oppressive and controlling tool against her,” a court investigator wrote in a 2016 report. The system had “too much control,” Spears said, according to the investigator’s account of the conversation. “Too, too much!”</p>

<p>Spears informed the investigator that she wanted the conservatorship terminated as soon as possible. “She is ‘sick of being taken advantage of’ and she said she is the one working and earning her money but everyone around her is on her payroll,” the investigator wrote.</p>

<p>In 2019, Spears told the court that she had felt forced by the conservatorship into a stay at a mental health facility and to perform against her will.</p>

<p>At the helm of the singer’s life and finances for most of that time was her once-estranged father, James P. Spears. James Spears, known as Jamie, was appointed conservator in 2008, shortly after Britney Spears was twice taken to a hospital by ambulance for involuntary psychiatric evaluations amid a series of public struggles and concerns around her mental health and substance abuse.</p>

<p>The newly obtained court records show that Britney Spears questioned his fitness for the role. As early as 2014, in a hearing closed to the public, her court-appointed lawyer, Samuel D. Ingham III, said she wanted to explore removing her father as conservator, citing his drinking, among other objections on a “shopping list” of grievances.</p>

<p>Last year, Ingham told the judge that Spears was “afraid of her father,” who remains a steward of her nearly $60 million fortune.</p>

<p>On Wednesday, the singer is scheduled to address the Los Angeles court directly — a rare move she requested on an expedited basis. It is unclear whether her remarks will be made in public, but her relationship with her father is expected to be a central topic.</p>

<p>Representatives for Jamie Spears, 68, declined to comment, citing the pending court hearing. But they have previously said the conservatorship was necessary to protect Britney Spears from exploitation and harm and that Jamie Spears has been a dutiful father, acting out of love for his daughter.</p>

<p>“Any time Britney wants to end her conservatorship, she can ask her lawyer to file a petition to terminate it; she has always had this right but in 13 years has never exercised it,” Vivian Lee Thoreen, a lawyer for Jamie Spears, said in a statement to People earlier this year. “Britney knows that her Daddy loves her, and that he will be there for her whenever and if she needs him, just as he always has been — conservatorship or not.”</p>

<p>Theirs has long been a difficult and dysfunctional relationship, according to the court records and interviews with many people who know the family. But that dynamic grew even more complicated after Jamie Spears — a recovering alcoholic who has faced accusations of physical and verbal abuse — took the lead in wrestling what he saw as his adult daughter’s demons.</p>

<p>Spears said her father was “obsessed” with her and wanted to control everything about her, according to the investigator’s report. She could not make friends without his approval.</p>

<p>Even as she earned millions from a successful Las Vegas residency, she said she was limited to a $2,000 weekly allowance, according to the records.</p>

<p>Any mistakes resulted in “very harsh” consequences, Spears added, according to the report. The conservatorship “comes with a lot of fear,” she said.</p>

<p>After consulting with Spears, her conservators and her doctors, the probate investigator concluded in 2016 that the conservatorship remained in Spears’ best interests based on her complex finances, susceptibility to undue influence and “intermittent” drug issues, though the report called for “a pathway to independence and the eventual termination of the conservatorship.”</p>

<p>The records provide only a snapshot of Spears’ sentiments and situation throughout a 13-year saga. Still, they present in great detail her discontent with the arrangement, in particular her concerns that her views about her father’s behavior were not being appropriately considered.</p>

<p>Experts say conservatorships should prioritize the wishes of the conservatee and help them regain their independence. The arrangements are supposed to be a last resort for people who cannot take care of their basic needs, such as those with significant disabilities or older people with dementia, yet Spears has been able to perform and profit for more than a decade.</p>

<p><strong>Jamie and Britney</strong></p>

<p>What the court records make clear is that the battle over the conservatorship is rooted in the family’s troubled history.</p>

<p>Debbie Sanders Cross, Jamie Spears’ first wife, who remains his friend, said his own “very difficult upbringing” had influenced his perspective. “I really think that’s why he’s trying to be so protective of Britney,” she said.</p>

<p>Jamie Spears had spent much of his life in Kentwood, a tiny Louisiana town where he was a star quarterback. His father, a boilermaker, was strict and demanding. “His daddy was so hard on him, but Jamie loved him and respected him,” Jamie Spears’ former football coach, Elton Shaw, recalled.</p>

<p>Jamie Spears’ youth was marked by tragedy: His mother died by suicide on the grave of her infant son when Jamie Spears was 13, according to the local paper. Jamie Spears survived a car accident that killed a football teammate four years later. At 22, he was arrested on drug and driving while intoxicated charges, according to a news report.</p>

<p>When Lynne Spears, his second wife and Britney’s mother, filed for divorce in 1980, she requested a temporary restraining order, citing a fear that he would “become angry when he is served with these papers” and harass or harm her, “especially if he has been drinking alcoholic beverages, as he has done in the past.”</p>

<p>The couple reconciled, but Jamie Spears’ instability haunted Spears’ childhood, the family has said. In her 2008 memoir, Lynne Spears recalled years of “verbal abuse, abandonment” and “erratic behavior.”</p>

<p>The family struggled financially, and in 1998, just months before the release of &nbsp;Spears’ blockbuster first album, the Spearses filed for bankruptcy. The couple divorced in 2002.</p>

<p>Jamie Spears was present only intermittently during his daughter’s rise to pop stardom. In 2004, according to a court filing, he went to rehab for alcoholism at the urging of his daughter.</p>

<p>But by 2007, Spears was struggling herself. Humiliation by the press, stalking by the paparazzi, speculation around her mental health and substance abuse and a custody battle over her two young sons helped lead Spears to a breaking point.</p>

<p>Jamie Spears reappeared for what he and his ex-wife, Lynne Spears, viewed as an urgent rescue mission.</p>

<p>Along with his business manager, Louise M. Taylor, he prayed and fasted before he petitioned a judge for a temporary conservatorship of &nbsp;Spears, Lynne Spears wrote in her memoir. Taylor later became a business manager of Britney Spears’ estate and an architect of her comeback.</p>

<p>The singer stressed that she did not want her father in charge, a lawyer she consulted at the time has said. But the judge overseeing the case, Reva Goetz, deemed Spears incapable of hiring her own counsel and appointed Ingham, the lawyer who represents her to this day.</p>

<p>In February 2008, according to court records, Goetz deemed Jamie Spears “a suitable and qualified person” and granted him broad control over his daughter’s daily life and, alongside a co-conservator, her finances.</p>

<p>“Everything he does, he feels is in the best interest of his daughters and his family,” said Mitch Covington, a friend of Jamie Spears’.</p>

<p>Spears quickly went back to work. Within a year of being deemed unable to care for herself, she guest-starred on national television, released a No. 1 album and was preparing to embark on a run of almost 100 shows around the world.</p>

<p>Aside from his salary as conservator — now about $16,000 per month, plus $2,000 a month for office space rent — Jamie Spears was approved by the court to receive a percentage of various deals signed for his daughter.</p>

<p>In 2011, he received a 2.95% commission for his work on &nbsp;Spears’ successful Femme Fatale tour. And in 2014, he was granted 1.5% of gross revenues from the performances and merchandising tied to her Las Vegas residency, “Piece of Me,” which went on to earn a reported $138 million across nearly 250 shows.</p>

<p>The dual role of looking out for Britney Spears’ best interests as conservator and reaping more profits each time she performed was “fraught with conflict,” according to W. Michael Hensley, a probate lawyer in California who works as a fee examination expert and is not involved in the Spears case.</p>

<p><strong>Questioning her father’s role</strong></p>

<p>Confidential court records reveal &nbsp;Spears’ concerns that her father was hardly the person to be setting, and enforcing, the rules that governed her life.</p>

<p>Spears’ first tour under the conservatorship, The Circus Starring Britney Spears, was designed to be a dry one, with cast and crew forbidden from drinking alcohol — or even energy drinks — around her, according to three people who worked on it.</p>

<p>During this period, a former nanny and housekeeper for &nbsp;Spears claimed Jamie Spears engaged in “verbal abuse, tirades, inappropriate behavior and alcoholic relapses,” according to a legal letter sent in 2010 that threatened a lawsuit.</p>

<p>In 2014, Ingham told the court that Spears believed her father was drinking, according to a transcript of the closed hearing. Lawyers representing the conservatorship responded that Jamie Spears had voluntarily submitted to regularly scheduled alcohol tests and never failed. Jamie Spears’ lawyer said he took one random test, but refused to take any more, calling the request inappropriate.</p>

<p>Ingham also raised Spears’ urgent desire to terminate the conservatorship altogether. She had even mentioned the possibility of changing her lifestyle and retiring, but believed the conservatorship precluded that, he said, according to a transcript.</p>

<p>The judge said that she would consider ending the conservatorship if the singer established a healthy relationship with a therapist and returned one year’s worth of clean drug tests. But the judge would not guarantee it.</p>

<p><strong>Behind closed doors</strong></p>

<p>In 2016, Spears released her ninth studio album and performed more than 50 times in Las Vegas. But in private, she was again protesting the conservatorship, according to a report written by a probate investigator. (In California conservatorships, a court investigator conducts periodic reviews for the judge.)</p>

<p>Spears told the investigator that she was “very angry” about the way her life was being run, and described security around her at all times. She was also being tested for drugs numerous times weekly, and her credit card was held by her security team or assistant and used at their discretion, the report said.</p>

<p>Spears wanted to make cosmetic changes to her home, like re-staining her kitchen cabinets, she told the investigator, but was forbidden by her father, who told her too much money was being spent.</p>

<p>The public image of Spears’ life gave little sense of the turmoil she was expressing privately. An Instagram feed presented her as playfully approachable, and a new, lucrative Las Vegas show was set to begin in February 2019.</p>

<p>Then, a month before the opening, Spears announced an “indefinite work hiatus,” canceling the residency. Jamie Spears had “almost died” after suffering a ruptured colon, according to a statement, which noted the pair’s “very special relationship.”</p>

<p>That spring, Spears appeared at a closed-door hearing and read a statement. According to a transcript, she asserted that she had been forced into a mental health facility against her will on exaggerated grounds, which she viewed as punishment for standing up for herself and making an objection during a rehearsal.</p>

<p>By September 2020, a flurry of courtroom activity indicated publicly that something had shifted. Ingham filed court papers saying that Spears “is vehemently opposed to this effort by her father to keep her legal struggle hidden away in the closet as a family secret.”</p>

<p>At a public court hearing in November, Spears’ mother moved to support the removal of Jamie Spears as conservator. Through a lawyer, she called the father-daughter relationship “toxic” and said it was “time to start fresh,” adding that Jamie Spears had referred to his daughter as “a racehorse who has to be handled like one.”</p>

<p>That day, Judge Brenda Penny, who had replaced Goetz on the case, declined a request from Ingham to suspend Jamie Spears immediately, but left the door open to consider removing him in the future. Penny approved a wealth management firm to serve as co-conservator of the estate alongside Jamie Spears.</p>

<p>Ingham has not filed a petition to remove Jamie Spears permanently.</p>

But the judge would not guarantee it. Behind closed doors In 2016, Spears released her ninth studio album and performed more than 50 times in Las Vegas. But in private, she was again protesting the conservatorship, according to a report written by a probate investigator. (In California conservatorships, a court investigator conducts periodic reviews for the judge.) Spears told the investigator that she was “very angry” about the way her life was being run, and described security around her at all times. She was also being tested for drugs numerous times weekly, and her credit card was held by her security team or assistant and used at their discretion, the report said. Spears wanted to make cosmetic changes to her home, like re-staining her kitchen cabinets, she told the investigator, but was forbidden by her father, who told her too much money was being spent. The public image of Spears’ life gave little sense of the turmoil she was expressing privately. An Instagram feed presented her as playfully approachable, and a new, lucrative Las Vegas show was set to begin in February 2019. Then, a month before the opening, Spears announced an “indefinite work hiatus,” canceling the residency. Jamie Spears had “almost died” after suffering a ruptured colon, according to a statement, which noted the pair’s “very special relationship.” That spring, Spears appeared at a closed-door hearing and read a statement. According to a transcript, she asserted that she had been forced into a mental health facility against her will on exaggerated grounds, which she viewed as punishment for standing up for herself and making an objection during a rehearsal. By September 2020, a flurry of courtroom activity indicated publicly that something had shifted. Ingham filed court papers saying that Spears “is vehemently opposed to this effort by her father to keep her legal struggle hidden away in the closet as a family secret.” At a public court hearing in November, Spears’ mother moved to support the removal of Jamie Spears as conservator. Through a lawyer, she called the father-daughter relationship “toxic” and said it was “time to start fresh,” adding that Jamie Spears had referred to his daughter as “a racehorse who has to be handled like one.” That day, Judge Brenda Penny, who had replaced Goetz on the case, declined a request from Ingham to suspend Jamie Spears immediately, but left the door open to consider removing him in the future. Penny approved a wealth management firm to serve as co-conservator of the estate alongside Jamie Spears. Ingham has not filed a petition to remove Jamie Spears permanently.

Britney Spears has 'no idea' when she will return to stage again

<p>Support may have poured in for Britney Spears from all quarters after watching the documentary 'Framing Britney Spears' but the singer is reportedly not a fan.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The 39-year-old pop icon was the subject of the television documentary that was released in early February this year.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The show narrated incidents from her life and career- including the well-publicized public meltdown - that led to conservatorship.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Since the documentary aired, several celebrities and fans have spoken in support of Britney but the singer has remained mum on the subject.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
On Tuesday, Britney broke her silence as she took to Instagram to express her thoughts on the film.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"My life has always been very speculated ...watched ... and judged really my whole life !!!" she began in the caption. "For my sanity, I need to dance to [Steven Tyler] every night of my life to feel wild and human and alive !!!"<br />
<br />
Britney also said that because she's performed in front of crowds for a great deal of her life, she's always been "exposed" and that "it takes a lot of strength to TRUST the universe with your real vulnerability."</p>

Support may have poured in for Britney Spears from all quarters after watching the documentary 'Framing Britney Spears' but the singer is reportedly not a fan. The 39-year-old pop icon was the subject of the television documentary that was released in early February this year. The show narrated incidents from her life and career- including the well-publicized public meltdown - that led to conservatorship. Since the documentary aired, several celebrities and fans have spoken in support of Britney but the singer has remained mum on the subject. On Tuesday, Britney broke her silence as she took to Instagram to express her thoughts on the film. "My life has always been very speculated ...watched ... and judged really my whole life !!!" she began in the caption. "For my sanity, I need to dance to [Steven Tyler] every night of my life to feel wild and human and alive !!!" Britney also said that because she's performed in front of crowds for a great deal of her life, she's always been "exposed" and that "it takes a lot of strength to TRUST the universe with your real vulnerability."

Britney Spears shares photos with her two sons: 'It’s crazy how time flies'

<p>Fans who think&nbsp;Britney Spears' father should not be involved at all in her controversial conservatorship "have it&nbsp;wrong", according to his lawyer. In an interview with ABC News, Vivian Thoreen,&nbsp;Jamie Spears lawyer, called the pop star's father a&nbsp;"fiercely loving, dedicated and loyal father" who had stopped her from being exploited.</p>

<p>Jamie Spears was made his daughter's conservator in 2008 after concerns were raised about the star's mental health. A recent documentary 'Framing Britney Spears' has&nbsp;renewed scrutiny of her legal arrangements as #FreeBritneySpears movement gained momentum among the fans.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I understand that every story needs a villain but people have it so wrong here,"&nbsp;Thoreen told ABC's Good Morning America&nbsp; She added that unnamed people had been "harming and exploiting" the singer and that Mr. Spears had "rescued" her from "a life-threatening situation".</p>

<p>"Britney's assets were clearly being mismanaged and she was being taken advantage of financially by some of those around her," the lawyer continued.<br />

<p>She added that Mr. Spears had "collaborated" with his daughter, now 39, so that she could "live her life the way she wants, like a normal person".</p>

<p>A conservatorship is usually granted for people who are unable to make their own decisions, like those with dementia or other mental illnesses.</p>

<p>As per BBC, last November the singer lost a legal attempt to remove her father's control over her estate, currently worth around $60m (£43m), but in February this year, a judge denied a request by Mr. Spears to exert greater control over her finances.</p>

<p>According to Britney's&nbsp;lawyer, Britney and her father have no "viable working relationship" and have not spoken in a "long while".</p>

<p>Thoreen stated otherwise, claiming they had spent time together last year and she had never voiced a wish to have him removed from the conservatorship.<br />

<p>"Early on in the pandemic they spent two weeks with other family members, hunkered down in Louisiana, and they spent a lot of time together," she said.</p>

<p>"In that time, Britney never expressed those words to her father. She's never asked him to step aside."</p>

<p>On Britney's lawyer&nbsp;saying she will never perform again while her father oversees her life, Thoreen defended Jamie.

And he’s created a safe environment for her to live her life the way she wants, away from the media that cause her so much pain.”</p>

<p>Spears revived her career after her breakdown but she pulled out of a Las Vegas concert residency last year and briefly entered a mental health facility. She has not performed publicly since October 2018.<br />

Britney Spears' father is not the villain of her story, according to his lawyer

<p>Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake were one of the most popular couples in Tinseltown in the early 2000s. Britney, at that time, was the reigning queen of pop while Justin was the frontman of boyband N'Sync.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The couple started dating in 1999 and broke up in 2002- around the time Justin decided to go solo with his music career. In fact, one of his early hits 'Cry Me A River' sort of hinted to the world about Britney's infidelity and fans were made to believe that the two broke up due to Britney cheating on Timberlake with one of her backup dancers.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Now, years later, amid Britney's conservatorship battle, fans have accused Justin of changing the narrative and making people believe that it was due to Britney that the relationship did not last. A new documentary 'Framing Britney Spears' seem to have made fans think that the singer was unnecessarily made responsible for the breakup.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The documentary narrates the incidents that led to her father Jamie Spears' taking up the role of a conservator - which most state as problematic.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Fans now are calling out Justin for changing the narrative years back with the music video of 'Cry Me A River' which had Timberlake taking revenge after being cheated on by a woman who seemingly looked like Britney.&nbsp;</p>

Did Britney Spears really cheat on Justin Timberlake? New documentary is making fans think otherwise

<p>Some of the biggest names&nbsp;in the music are coming out to support&nbsp;Britney Spears after the tell-all documentary about the singer.&nbsp;</p>

<p>FX released the latest episode of its docuseries The New York Times Presents, with the new episode 'Framing Britney Spears' recounting the pop star's life in the spotlight and her ongoing battle with her father Jamie Spears, who controls her medical records and finances due to her conservatorship.<br />
<br />
Released on February 5, the documentary 'Framing Britney Spears'&nbsp;has motivated many A-listers to voice their public support for the singer and the global #FreeBritney movement to end her conservatorship of more than 10 years.<br />
<br />
On Feb. 8, Kacey Musgraves wrote on Twitter that it's "plaguing" her that "nobody knows if @britneyspears is truly okay." The six-time Grammy winner went on, "Really hoping that if she isn't she can formally vocalize it in some way and that she knows all of us on the outside really give a s--t about her well-being."<br />

<p>Britney's legal battle is ongoing, but in November, her lawyer Samuel D. Ingham III claimed in court that the musician is scared of her dad and would no longer perform while he controls her career. The pop star, now 38, had asked for her care manager to permanently replace her father Jamie as her conservator. But according to Reuters, the closed-door court hearing extended the current arrangements until February 2021, according to a court document posted online by fans.<br />

The singer's father Jamie Spears was appointed conservator in 2008 after the pop star was hospitalized for psychiatric treatment. The singer`s care manager Jodi Montgomery took over in a temporary capacity late last year when Jamie Spears suffered a bout of ill health.<br />

A lawyer for the singer had submitted documents ahead of the private hearing saying Spears was "strongly opposed" to having her father return to control her affairs. The documents gave no reasons for her stance. An online campaign, started by her fans called #FreeBritney, had also gained momentum in the past few months and<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/britney-spears-mom-lynne-files-legal-documents-seeking-permission-to-manage-her-finances-313687">&nbsp;the singer's mother</a>&nbsp;and brother too had opposed Jamie's role as a conservator.<br />

Miley Cyrus, Sarah Jessica Parker support Britney Spears after the release of shocking documentary 'Framing Britney Spears'

<p>Amid her ongoing legal battle with her father over conservatorship,<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/britney-spears-latest-dance-video-on-ex-justin-timberlakes-song-sparks-concern-among-her-fans-360094"> recently a new video of singer Britney Spears raised concern among her fans.</a> Now, Cassie Petrey, Britney’s social media manager, is addressing fans’ concerns that the pop star doesn’t have full access to her social media accounts.</p>

<p>In an Instagram post on Tuesday, Petrey posted a series of messages that address her role as Britney’s social media manager and how much of Britney’s content is actually created by the singer. Her statement comes after fans took to social media expressing their worry that the pop star is being stifled not only from her conservatorship but also through her own social media accounts.</p>

<p>“Britney creates her own posts and writes her own captions for Instagram&gt;&gt;&gt;P,” confirmed Petrey in the post.“Nobody is suggesting any of that stuff to her.”</p>

<p>Petrey continued, expressing that Britney uses her team to facilitate her posts like any other celebrity and shut down that Britney has been posting clues or hints to fans alleging that she needs help of any sort.</p>

<p>“She has stated many times that she creates the post, but people continue to believe conspiracy theories over what Britney says over and over again. Britney is not‘asking for help’ or leaving secret messages in her social media. She is literally just living her life and trying to have fun on Instagram,” Petrey shared.<br />

Britney Spears' social media manager addresses fans’ concerns over pop star's social media accounts

<p>A new docu-series premiering on February 5 is set to dig deeper into Britney Spears’ long-contested conservatorship. A preview of episode 6 was released on Thursday that says, “How we treated her was disgusting.”</p>

<p>Titled ‘Framing Britney Spears’, the docu-series will air on FX and FX on Hulu.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The official synopsis of the docu-series reads: It re-examines Britney Spears career and offers a new assessment of the movement rallying against her court-mandated conservatorship, capturing the unsavory dimensions of the American pop-star machine.</p>

<p>For those unversed, former pop star Britney Spears has been fighting a battle with her father over conservatorship that gives all her personal and professional rights to her father. For 13 years, she has been living under a conservatorship, which occurs when a court-appointed guardian manages another person’s life due to physical or mental limitations. Conservatorship for Britney Spears has been on since 2008 after several public breakdowns.&nbsp;</p>

A new docu-series premiering on February 5 is set to dig deeper into Britney Spears’ long-contested conservatorship. A preview of episode 6 was released on Thursday that says, “How we treated her was disgusting.” Titled ‘Framing Britney Spears’, the docu-series will air on FX and FX on Hulu. The official synopsis of the docu-series reads: It re-examines Britney Spears career and offers a new assessment of the movement rallying against her court-mandated conservatorship, capturing the unsavory dimensions of the American pop-star machine. For those unversed, former pop star Britney Spears has been fighting a battle with her father over conservatorship that gives all her personal and professional rights to her father. For 13 years, she has been living under a conservatorship, which occurs when a court-appointed guardian manages another person’s life due to physical or mental limitations. Conservatorship for Britney Spears has been on since 2008 after several public breakdowns. Her father, Jamie Spears has been co-conservator of her estate alongside lawyer Andrew Wallet, who voluntarily resigned his post in March 2019. According to an update on her case against the conservatorship, Britney Spears’ lawyer, Sam Ingham has claimed that she is “afraid” of her father and will not perform again while he remains in charge. As of mid-December, a judge ruled that the conservatorship would be extended until at least September of this year. Though Jamie is still his daughter’s conservator, a corporate fiduciary, the Bessemer Trust, serves as co-conservator over her estate.

Docu-series on Britney Spears' conservatorship to premiere on February 5

<p>In a new twist in the ongoing battle for Britney's conservatorship, the singer now wants her father, Jaime Spears, to be "suspended immediately" as the co-conservator of her estate.<br />
<br />
The singer's attorney, Sam Ingham, filed new documents recently, with Britney requesting that Bessemer Trust Company be the sole conservator of her estate and that her dad be removed. A hearing is set for Tuesday, November 11.<br />
<br />
In a document obtained by the entertainment website,&nbsp;ET state that Britney's Tristar Sports and Entertainment Group business manager quit abruptly. The singer and her lawyer claim Jamie hired Michael Kane of Miller Kaplan to serve as a business manager without her knowledge or consulting her about the replacement fees.<br />
<br />
"The Oct. 28 letter is a blatant attempt by [Jamie] to retain full functional control of her assets, books, and records in the face of Britney's objections, Tristar’s resignation, and the appointment of Bessemer Trust,” the documents read. “His simple litigation strategy is to introduce a new gatekeeper who admittedly has a major working relationship with his legal team."<br />
<br />
"Therefore, Britney will be filing a petition to remove James as a conservator of the estate," the docs add. Her lawyer also claims that the singer and her estate will suffer loss and injury if her father is not suspended immediately upon the appointment of Bessemer Trust.<br />
<br />
Last week, Britney had a small victory when her petition request was granted which would allow her to expand her legal team. She was not present for the latest hearing, though her mother, Lynne Spears, her attorney, and her dad were present.<br />
<br />
Prior to that hearing, Britney's legal team was adamant in court docs filed that she does not share her father's "vision of a future in which she resumes performing and leaves the management of her estate completely to him as she did in the past."</p>

<p>A small but vocal group of fans has launched a #FreeBritney campaign that seeks to end a court-ordered conservatorship that was put in place after Spears suffered a mental breakdown some 12 years ago.<br />
<br />
They believe the “Womanizer” singer is being kept prisoner in her Los Angeles area home and that she is sending cryptic signals begging to be freed through her social media accounts, which usually consist of selfies or dancing.<br />
<br />
Other fans have expressed alarm about repeated Instagram postings of the same photos, apparently taken years ago.<br />
<br />
Spears revived her pop career after her breakdown but briefly entered a mental health facility last year and has not performed publicly since October 2018.</p>

Britney Spears' father slams singer's attorney, urges her to speak for herself 

<p>There is now more update on the front of Britney Spears movement after “FreeBritney” trended on the internet with fans asking for the singer to be released from the conservatorship she’s been living under since 2008.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to new developments on the case, the singer's court-appointed lawyer told a Los Angeles judge that she lacks the capacity to sign a declaration expressing her wishes and compared her to a "comatose" person.</p>

<p>There is news according to court documents that the conservatorship is voluntary. If the singer wants out, Ingham can file the paperwork. However, it wouldn’t be simple or quick. There would likely be an evaluation of whether she has the capacity to make such a decision and whether she’s capable of managing her affairs without being subject to undue influence.</p>

<p>In his August 17 filing, it is come to known that Britney no longer wanted her father to be the sole conservator of her estate and was "strongly opposed" to him being reinstated as the conservator of her person.</p>

#FreeBritneySpears takes a turn as lawyer argues about her condition comparing it to 'comatose'

<p>Britney Spears' recent social media posts have once again sparked discussion among her fans on the singer's mental health. Concerned with her posts, several of her fans on Instagram observed that she was not behaving normally and wrote, “Girl you okay? Love you + your work but you seem.. off” and “Britney we all love you. we want you to be ok!”<br />
<br />
Fans have started the hashtag #FreeBritney, a trend that first came into existence in 2019 after Spears was checked into mental health facility after she refused to take prescribed drugs that her doctor had given her and for driving to an In-N-Out with her boyfriend.<br />
<br />
Several of her followers have again started conversing about Britney's conservatorship, under which her assets and life is controlled and monitored by her father and her lawyer.<br />
<br />
The hashtags #SaveBritney and #FreeBritney have once again started trending on social media with many fans believing that Britney was sending them secret messages to rescue her and get her out of her conservatorship.<br />
<br />
A conservatorship is a legal concept of guardianship in America, where an individual is appointed a guardian or a conservator by the court to help them with their day to day affairs. Such an arrangement is made for mentally or physically incapable individuals or for senior citizens or people suffering from extreme mental health issues, like schizophrenia or dementia. The conservator makes all the decisions in their life.</p>

<p>In Britney’s case, her estate, financial assets, visitors and career negotiations are being overlooked by her father, Jamie Spears and an attorney.<br />
<br />
After her break up with her husband Kevin Federline in 2007, the singer underwent a very public meltdown and even shaved her head. Since then&nbsp; the singer has been under conservatorship.<br />
<br />
In 2008, the singer was committed to a psychiatric ward twice and after the second time, her father petitioned with the Los Angeles County Superior Court for an emergency “temporary conservatorship.” The arrangement was later made permanent.<br />
<br />
Since then Britney's life and career has been completely owned and controlled by her father. The singer does not have any right to spend her own money,&nbsp; and all her activities are monitored.<br />
<br />
Fans argue that if Britney was mentally unwell, she wouldn't have had a thriving career and released 4 albums, and earned over USD 138 million since the time she was put in conservatorship. Fans believe that her conservatorship is just a means to exploit her and her wealth which according to court documents from 2018 is at least $59 million.<br />
<br />
Over 134,000 concerned fans have now signed a petition asking for Spears to get her own lawyer and finally get out of the conservatorship.<br />
<br />
Fashion industry watchdog, Diet Prada, took to their Instagram and shared about the whole episode and pointed out why it was important for Britney Spears to break free. "This is heartbreaking. Swipe to slide 5 for the shady details on Britney’s conservatorship, which is usually reserved for individuals who are incapacitated. I know some people’s instincts might be to not take this seriously or laugh because the world has made a joke of her existence to a certain extent, but this is a woman who is denied access to her own children, finances, and any control over her own life. The law is corrupt and so are the middle-aged men who are ruining a thriving, successful woman’s life. Britney has a court hearing coming up on July 22nd. Check our stories for a swipe up of actionable items you can do to help #FreeBritney."</p>

Britney Spears' recent social media posts have once again sparked discussion among her fans on the singer's mental health. Concerned with her posts, several of her fans on Instagram observed that she was not behaving normally and wrote, “Girl you okay? Love you + your work but you seem.. off” and “Britney we all love you. we want you to be ok!” Fans have started the hashtag #FreeBritney, a trend that first came into existence in 2019 after Spears was checked into mental health facility after she refused to take prescribed drugs that her doctor had given her and for driving to an In-N-Out with her boyfriend. Several of her followers have again started conversing about Britney's conservatorship, under which her assets and life is controlled and monitored by her father and her lawyer. The hashtags #SaveBritney and #FreeBritney have once again started trending on social media with many fans believing that Britney was sending them secret messages to rescue her and get her out of her conservatorship. A conservatorship is a legal concept of guardianship in America, where an individual is appointed a guardian or a conservator by the court to help them with their day to day affairs. Such an arrangement is made for mentally or physically incapable individuals or for senior citizens or people suffering from extreme mental health issues, like schizophrenia or dementia. The conservator makes all the decisions in their life. This isn’t a coincidence anymore Britney Spears is sending messages for help. #freebritney pic.twitter.com/Qv2NnZyZhV — 👑 #FREEBRITNEY #BLACKLIVESMATTER (@touchofpisces) July 8, 2020 × In Britney’s case, her estate, financial assets, visitors and career negotiations are being overlooked by her father, Jamie Spears and an attorney. After her break up with her husband Kevin Federline in 2007, the singer underwent a very public meltdown and even shaved her head. Since then the singer has been under conservatorship. In 2008, the singer was committed to a psychiatric ward twice and after the second time, her father petitioned with the Los Angeles County Superior Court for an emergency “temporary conservatorship.” The arrangement was later made permanent. Since then Britney's life and career has been completely owned and controlled by her father. The singer does not have any right to spend her own money, and all her activities are monitored. Fans argue that if Britney was mentally unwell, she wouldn't have had a thriving career and released 4 albums, and earned over USD 138 million since the time she was put in conservatorship. Fans believe that her conservatorship is just a means to exploit her and her wealth which according to court documents from 2018 is at least $59 million. Over 134,000 concerned fans have now signed a petition asking for Spears to get her own lawyer and finally get out of the conservatorship. Fashion industry watchdog, Diet Prada, took to their Instagram and shared about the whole episode and pointed out why it was important for Britney Spears to break free. "This is heartbreaking.
