Justin Timberlake and Rose McGowan among those calling for end to conservatorship
There was tentative anticipation surrounding Britney Spears’ address to an LA court during a hearing on Wednesday on the future of the conservatorship that has governed her life for 13 years. Would she affirm the theories of the #FreeBritney movement, which alleges she is being held against her will? Or would it be a disappointing procedural affair of little substance?
Even the highest of expectations must have fallen short of what was to come. In an emotional, frustrated, 25-minute monologue, the 39-year-old star called on the court to end the “abusive” conservatorship, and said those responsible for enforcing it, including her father, Jamie Spears, “should be in jail”.
