Conservatorship
In 2008, Britney’s father Jamie Spears legally won conservatorship over Britney. This meant that he has control over her professional life and image, her estate and wealth, and decisions in her personal life. For years, Brtiney has been quietly fighting a battle to get control back over her life, but still in 2021, she is still under the thumb and whim of her father.
As the conservatorship became more and more known over the years, many people began to worry for Britney’s mental health and right to personal freedom. Of this awakening within her fan group, the Free Britney movement began.
