Free Britney Spears: Celebrities Stand Up For Pop Star
Popstar Britney Spears opened up about her life under conservatorship. A practice in the US that gives a guardian that is mostly a family member, the authority to make all the decisions of a person’s life. Jamie Spears, Britney’s father became the state-approved conservator.
The singer-actor made some really controversial revelations during her open court session in Los Angeles on Wednesday. She shared that she was overworked, put on harmful medication and not even allowed to marry and have children. For many years now, Spears has been under conservatorship. All the decisions are taken by her father. He has complete control over her wealth and civil liberties.
She spoke about everything that she has been put through for all these years and requests the court to end it all. “I just want my life back,” she said.
Following all this, many celebrities came forward and stood in support of Spears. Many famous personalities tweeted and made posts on social media adding to the #FreeBritney campaign started by the fans to pressure the court. Fans protested in front of the court asking the officials to end the singer’s conservatorship and give Spears her life back.

How is what has been done to Britney Spears not a human rights crime? Isolation, controlling her capacity to reproduce without her consent, forcing her to work under inhumane conditions. If she were any other person the people who did this to her would be in jail.
