The story behind #FreeBritney and why you should care: In February of 2008, Britney Spears was placed under a conservatorship by her father which gives him complete control over her life including food, clothing, finance and shelter. It all started on January 4th, 2008 when Britney Spears was involuntary held under a 5150 hold following a custody dispute with Kevin Federline. That's when we saw the horrific videos of Britney being taken from her home in an ambulance chased by the paparazzi. She was released from the hospital the next day and was not required to remain for 72-hours. On January 31st, Britney Spears was placed under a second involuntary 5150 hold. However, extra precautions were taken that suggest this hold was planned well in advance. This is when the court agreed to place the pop star under a conservatorship. Not two months after being deemed too incapable of making decisions about herself, Britney Spears would guest star on How I Met Your Mother. By September, a woman who the court said can't make her own life decisions became be the most awarded woman of the night at the 2008 VMAs. That same month, the court put Britney Spears under permanent conservatorship even though she was denied her right to retain a lawyer. Since then, Britney has spoken about her life being too controlled. She even compared her situation to jail and said she “never wanted to become one of those prisoner people.” One of things Britney said she misses the most is being able to freely drive her car. Under conservatorship, she needs permission. A documentary called “For the Record” follows Britney Spears through her Circus Tour and includes deleted footage where she speaks out about her situation. By 2011, Britney Spears was embarking on her Femme Fatale Tour during which fans have predicted that she was being heavily medicated. Legal experts began questioning the conservatorship in 2012 when Britney was chosen as an XFactor judge but was still deemed unable to care for herself. During the Glory era, Britney Spears spoke out about the conservatorship on the Jonathan Ross Show. Fans in the audience confirmed this happened, but that part was cut out of the interview by the time it aired. During the 2016 election, Britney was forced to remove the hashtag #ImWithHer from her post supporting Hillary Clinton because she is allegedly not allowed to vote while she is under a conservatorship On Instagram, Britney Spears has hinted at wanting freedom from the conservatorship as well. On January 4th, 2019, Britney Spears mysteriously cancelled her Las Vegas residency “Domination” citing her father’s health issues. 3 days later, Britney was seen driving through In-N-Out for the last time. She would then go missing from the public for 3 months because her father allegedly put her into a mental health facility against her will. This would be Britney’s third involuntary hold. In April, news broke that Britney Spears was indeed in a mental health facility and her team said at the time she entered voluntarily. But Britney Spears allegedly told the court that she was forced into the facility by her father and that she was forced to take drugs. Britney’s co-conservator Andrew Wallet also resigned because “substantial detriment, irreparable harm and immediate danger will result to the conservatee and her estate if the relief requested herein is not granted.” He was asking for a raise not 5 months earlier. Fans began protesting in May during Britney’s court hearing. In September, Kevin Federline filed charges against Jamie Spears for allegedly abusing one of their kids. Because he remains Britney's conservator, she now only has 30% visitation with her kids. Later that month, Britney fans took the streets again at her next court hearing. People in the courtroom said a 730 investigation into the conservatorship was brought up by Britney’s mom before the public was asked to leave. Britney also spoke out on Instagram explaining how important her freedom is during this time. It’s worth noting that Britney Spears has been speaking out since this conservatorship began. One of Britney’s music video directors said the only direction she gave him was to film her in a cage. This has been a consistent theme since she was put under a conservatorship. This letter that Britney Spears allegedly wrote in third person also leaked to the public. She said she was “lied to” and “set up.” Britney’s doctor also mysteriously died. Fans have organized protests and a #FreeBritney trending hour starting at 10:00 am PST. Do we ever think Britney Spears wears 2000s clothes still because she has nothing else. She’s forced to wear them because she’s never allowed any of her money. And it keeps the narrative that’s she’s crazy She worked all those years, was the epitome of pop music in the 2000s, all for what???? She should be enjoying her earnings and not having parasites live off her and control her life!! *Britney Spears is under a corrupt conservatorship and her father controls her food, her medicine, her finances, controls who enters her life, she can't vote, she cannot have children, she cannot have custody of her children, she can't hire a laywer for this, etc.* February 2008, after claiming Britney Spears had dementia, she was placed in a conservatorship. March 2009, Britney starts her Circus World Tour, where she dangles from the air and walks through fire rings. Normal activities for a dementia patient, right? Britney Spears’ father claimed she had DEMENTIA and was “unable to properly provide for herself”, to lock her in the conservatorship in 2008. A couple months after this, that supposedly disabled woman was sent back to a rigorous work routine, including a world tour. Britney has NO rights under her conservatorship and has been trying to let us know for years that she is in need of. Britney's song "Lucky" and "Everytime" is like a premonition of how sad Britney's life has become. Listening to the song today is very sad. Ya'll think Britney Spears is just another pop machine who makes millions of dollars and think she's generic. But ya'll are forgeting that she's HUMAN and she's been a money maker for her team for over 20 years now. Britney Spears has made nearly $1 BILLION in the past 20 years. Since the start of her conservatorship, her net worth is reported as $58 million. She is given an allowance of only $70,000 per year while her shady conservator father makes double that amount. Reminder that Britney Spears has been under a conservatorship for years. She has no control over her career it professional life. She even lost custodial time with her sons because her father was abusive towards them. From all that I've seen this is utterly terrifying that an fully functioning woman, BRITNEY SPEARS, is under a conservatorship. She did tours, practiced hrs of choreography and is being controlled like a puppet. She can make her own choices. Free her. I'm disgusted. Britney Spears is clearly having manic episodes on tik tok and everyone is just laughing? This is the reason we need mental health awareness weeks that aren’t just people sharing pics of a short list of common symptoms of depression/anxiety. She deserves nothing but happiness. She has been treated as a money machine since she was born and went through the atrocities experienced, she never had a bad word about anyone in the industry, even towards the one who shames her. Britney Spears has been under a conservatorship for more than a decade. Conservatorships are not meant for able minded and hard working individuals like Britney, and the fact that her conservators all heavily benefit financially from the conservatorship is wrong. Britney Spears is a money making machine for her entire “team”, her whole family, and her ex husband. If she doesn’t comply with her fathers rules, he threatens to take her kids away from her. *Even so-called jokes about Britney Spears being a robot or clone or govt experiment perpetuate the denigration of her humanity. Britney is not a fictional character. Britney is an actual live human being w/the same full capacity for thoughts & emotions as you.* Since 2008 Britney Spears has been held in a conservatorship, this gives her conservator (Jamie Spears) full control over her life, body and finances/estate. Conservatorships are typically used for SEVERELY mentally ill individuals or people in comas. Having been on 4 world tours with dangerous flying and fire stunts, it’s safe to say she is sane enough to feed and clothe herself. With this conservatorship she is unable to properly fight for her freedom as she isn’t legally allowed to hire her own lawyer. We need this petition so that Britney can hire her own lawyer and live a normal life as a 38 year old woman with two kids. The petition to let Britney Spears hire her own lawyer already has 52k signatures.

[@NoelSmithStories]

Britney and Jonas actually worked on the storyline. It related to Britney's rise to fame (her rise during the first chorus), the microphones around her is the media obsession, the red lips is reference to her lip syncing, the fight is the battle between Britney Spears the pop star and Britney the person, the fact she is spraying paint on her past videos represents her breakdown and how she tarnished her brand. Finally the fall is when people said she was so far gone she was never coming back

[@megawarrior543]

@Luciferus after this song dropped the entire kpop genre was doing dubstep breakdowns lets not.

[@andreeaarsene3268]

@Luciferus Britney Spears was first female artist to brought dupstep in mainstream with her Blackout album. Thats a fact and is widely recognized. Why the fuck you just cant accept the truth? Who the fuck is K-pop NexT to Britney? Blackout was one of the most influential albums of the 2000s. And by far the most influential pop album of the 2010s. Britney changed the sound of pop music in the digital age. k pop sufle hard because they just hit the status thanks to Britneys influence www.theinterns.net/2019/10/02/how-britney-spears-blackout-has-become-the-blueprint-for-experimental-pop-music/

[@ashdog236]

@Luciferus lol nothing sounded like Blackout on the radio why you trippin? Britney used dubstep on Blackout in 2007 with ‘Freakshow’ and nobody in pop had done that = fact. Nothing on the radio sounded like ‘Gimme more’, ‘Piece of me’ and ‘Radar’, Rolling stone and the rock and roll hall of fame (One of the most influential pop albums ever made I believe Rolling stone called Blackout? 🤔😁), Britney’s peers, the lauded reviews, not just the fans. You tried it though 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@ismackshortkids]

wasnt it skrillex who actually made dubstep/brostep known worldwide??

[@rodval2322]

@Kurt Loder Britney didn't bring dubstep to mainstream, but no one was doing what Britney did in Blackout in 2007, so I wouldn't go there.

Jade Thirwall’s latest song :)

[@maryammure5151]

Fun fact: the song was recorded in 2010. The video was shot January 22, 2011. And it was directed by Jonas akerlund and choreographed by Brian Friedman. The main idea behind the video is centered around Britney and her life. The rise, the fall, and revival of Britney. The fight sequence is Britney fighting herself she wanted to add it and she did the choreography along side Steven ho. Britney said she wanted the video to have a feel of Madonnas videos for Ray of light and bedtime story.

Such a underrated song that brought "dubstep" into mainstream pop music. I personally find this music video as one of her best. Right from the start with the meteor up to the very end, it represents her entire life. From the birth of her stardom, straight through her hugely publicised breakdown & dealing with her inner demons, then her comeback & up to the point of 2011. Seriously one of her best.

Every britney spears music video has a different story she's in control to create amazing songs..

[@Chelsea_greenberg]

Now…Britney is a genius. Watching this video after all that’s unraveling right now. My interpretation of a few parts, the bridal gown, how she was married to the industry, her dancers are right under her gown…she starts to ascend, because, well, the bigger the climb, the higher the fall. She has these nails, on her, like a lion. (She likes to call herself a lioness) and she unleashes her wrath and the colorful “blood” represents her tearing down everything that tied her down, showing everyone’s “true colors”…there’s a riot within herself. Not bad and good Britney…it’s more of an internal fight between the “should I or should I not”. They both look at each other in the end. There’s no “winner”, because she realizes all Britneys are a part of her. In the end…they all merge and show a unified happy Britney performing happily and strongly on stage. She loves performing! (Which the c ship turned into a living hell). I think this video portrays Britney’s recent freedom. And she plans to bleed out every person who made her life miserable. She is powerful. She knows it. I didn’t realize how deep this video was until now. It was not just her “comeback” video. It was a preview of what was to come in the future. Go Britney! We love you! And you deserve happiness, freedom and you have the right to defend the ones you love with ALL your might and wrath.
