Isn't there laws about signing contract under distress?
Why are they even legally allowed to make contracts like that? Shouldn't there be some kind of law that limits, what can actually be in a contract. To steal someone's Freedom with a contract? 💆it might as well be a modern bill of sale for slavery
She can easily get an attorney. She’s rich as crap and very famous. Im sure there are huge amounts of lawyers who would take it on to be famous themselves. Hollywood is filled with freaks!
I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR HER FULL STORY and tell the word FU because y'all laughed at her for years when we knew something was off
It’s about time this poor girl gets her life back! At least one of us are free
Richard chamberlain abuse against conservatorship, pretending in an 2 part world of actors verses the real persons behind the scenes, moving quickly in courts to abuse others and bring a great deal of harm in their lives by trying to use the unions abuse against private citizens being portrayed in the private sector. It's nothing but abuse of power.
I'm sure a movie will be made about this soon
Never been a fan of Britney. But what I have learned from makes me hope she gets justice and the help she needs to become self sufficient.
I’m glad the lawyer spoke about her fans – they stood by Britney and advocated for her while the family was sucking her dry.
Investigate the judge
Free Brittany!
Her father and all those other parasites…. Can’t wait for the investigation and those people to be prosecuted.
How disgusting… Her family is evil and I think they wanted to eventually kill her and take everything, I'm glad her case has been gaining momentum since she spoke out and none of her abusers can get away with everything they've done to her
How many people are in the same situation that Britney finds herself in. This is a legal nightmare. Imagine elderly wealthy people controlled by family also etc.
It’s called Greed!!!!
13 years a slave. They need to go to prison.
If her family and former reps and physicians have any common sense left, they will all bow out gracefully. …Remembering, it is sometimes best to keep ones mouth shut and be thought a fâ€â€Âl, than to open ones mouth and remove all doubt.
🕊Dear God,
please bless and free Britney, and anyone in an abusive con-servatoryshipâ£ï¸ÂÂ😇🎉🎶ðŸ’ÂÂ
Her father should be ashamed of himself…
Good . I love her ! Been a fan since I was 11. ( I’m 36) now . Sooo proud of her !
Her "pimp daddy" is done. Be free and Enjoy your life Britney.
Is amazing how parents abused there own blood he should go to jail.ðŸ˜â€ÂðŸ˜â€Â
Britney I pray for you
She should sue her father and the state of California, then move to Maine.
Conservatorships should be illegal. They seem nothing short of Unconstitutional.
Britney Spears is the 21st Century Francis Farmer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHAME ON HER FAMILY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Much like her career, a sinking ship.
Surprised she & Macaulay Culkin aren't good friends because both of their Fathers were/are selfish con artist thieves…
FREE BRITTANY SPEARS….
Free Britney!
She complained to the judge in 2019 and the judge continued to make court dates for months later, so I am not filled with confidence that things will move faster (unless her lawyer knows how to convince them to move faster).
Free Britney 💜ðŸ™ÂÂ
Doesn’t matter Britney out here lookin unstable af on social media and that won’t go over well in court! Hello Amanda Bynes reruns anybody🤷ðŸÂ¼â€ÂÂ♂ï¸ÂÂ
Forbes is gonna have a field day WHEN BRITNEY GETS HER MONEY BACK
How can the judge get away with allowing this?
I honestly wonder – on a human level- how does father sleep at night.
In my opinion this trial should be public because then the pressure on the court will be immense.
Free Britney
All adults should be able to look after herself
She will be free soon enough.. her money is paying everyone… so it will be come to her freedom
Where the f*ck is her mom at?????
I hope she is a person who will speck up for People under conservative cases .I Feel she will be Finacated.â¤🇺🇸💪
People are “jumping ship†because their greed and corruption is being exposed, of course they’d jump ship now that people are on to them. The pressure is on, thanks to the public in support of Britney. This won’t last much longer…they’ll HAVE to end it.
I hope she gets a new doctor to. I think they have kept her over medicated on purpose.
I don't dig Brittany but #FREEBRITTNEY
