This whole time I assumed it was stan culture screaming to free her and she wasn't really saying much so didnt wanna join in. But if she is wanting to be free. I hope she gets her wish. I don't know her medical history or needs but if the problem is the father, let him step aside and have someone else. Her father almost lost her custody of her kids after a court hearing over abuse allegations. He had hit one of the boys and, because he is her conservator, a restraining order filed against him would also mean it’s filed against Britney. Thankfully it was temporary and settled, but her dad ain’t it. There’s also that dude she was dating around the time she was an X Factor judge who her dad wanted to put on the conservatorship (or did he?) right before she dumped him. It’s been obvious for a while that something was up. Her wanting to get out of the conservatorship isn’t news, though. It’s been known and reported since like 2011 that she’s wanted out, but the courts kept denying her appeals. Realistically speaking, I’m not sure how she could provide a strong appeal since her father controls all of her finances (meaning she can’t hire her own lawyer) and medical records (meaning he can theoretically withhold information that could prove adequate mental recovery or stability). Hell, even if she was able to hire pro-bono legal representation, she’d have to go through her father to legally access any of the necessary information to make her case anyway unless a court somehow permitted her to do so otherwise, but on what basis would they do that? She’s kind of fucked.

Poor Britney. She needs to revamp her legal team (but she probably can't without full control of her finances).

Yeah, she was definitely an albums artist and with so many albums sold it left little room for single sales. Despite conventional wisdom she’s also never really been a radio darling, outside of a few major exceptions, until later in her career. With those two factors making up the hot 100 formula, most of her singles were doomed to low peaks that don’t speak at all to the cultural impact of the song. This all started to get corrected for her by the time Blackout came out. The Hot 100 formula had changed, album sales across the board tanked, and by the Circus era radio was much more receptive to her (for a couple of album cycles at least).

If one day she wants to come back to the forefront of the music scene, I think, given the environment, that the CHR/POP radios will be reluctent to play her songs. The Hot AC format has not been very supportive in the past. Will it do so in the future? I guess, at this stage of her career, radio is not really the medium with which she will be able to reach a new audience and return to commercial success.

Britney has always been very influential to new artists and I would think radio stations would want to capitalize off of that by playing her music. Even if it's her older music they play, I think they would still sprinkle in some of her new ones just based on her name alone. She has the legacy. I still hear her songs on the radio now.

I understand everything that's happened with Britney negatively throughout her career is because of greed. Those who benefit from her will try to do what they can to get every dollar out of her name and likeness.
She deserves peace and stability, I hope that in 2021, she can do that for herself.
Britney really has done more than enough entertaining for us. It's not enjoyable if she's suffering and can't live in peace.

So Jamie Lynn is trying to become Britney’s conservator? Or just be in charge of her estate? This is all quite confusing:

Whenever something is confusing, all the facts aren't known, etc... it's best to stay silent and not contribute to a certain hashtag "movement"... Because unfortunately,

Let Britney control everything. At this point she a grown ass woman who deserves to do whatever she wants with her money, let alone her life.

Well, it looks like the ACLU wants the facts to be known. Their lawyers have reason to believe her civil rights are being threatened, and are willing to represent her in court. They’re also using this time to educate the public on the legal rights and civil liberties of persons with disabilities.
So before we go flippantly dismissing a movement that is founded on evidence collected from sources close to Britney herself, including her boyfriend, mother, son, and Britney herself in public court records, let’s wait for the rest of the facts and wish her the best. You can do both. The ACLU is probably the best shot she’s got at fair legal representation right now, and without this movement they likely would have never gotten involved.

Yes, you can do both, but screaming "lock her up" or "free her" does nothing and honestly we DO NOT know everything... a lot of things don't add up (pro free Britney or not)
I think there's a lot of peeps who don't understand what a mental illness can do to a person/family and each case is unique... (not claiming she officially has something, but there's enough proof if you piece enough together, and this is coming from a person who suffers from the deadliest one)
At the end of it all, hopefully we all just want her happiness...

I do agree we do not know all the facts but the #FreeBritney campaign has been instrumental in letting it be out there in the public knowledge that she's struggling. And I do believe it mostly comes from a place of love and admiration from her fans who just want her to be happy. Britney obviously has some issues but even in the case of some sort of mental illness she deserves to be comfortable and happy with the person managing her finances and basically her life. It's clear to me that her father isn't perfoming that role like he used to.

Yea, even if nothing else changes I’d imagine Britney is happier having her sister in charge of her trust than her dad. She and Jamie Lynn have always been extremely close, even during her breakdown years.

They are milking her discography as hell this year. I'm glad that GH: MP is finally getting a vinyl treatment, though.

I would LOVE a B In The Mix: 3 with tracks from Britney Jean and Glory "=]
Especially if they did it like the first B In The Mix where we got a song like Early Morning remixed (and MUCH better version) and And then We Kiss...

I didn't see anyone post and I am not tech savvy, but Britney has filed more court documents... In them she wants a trust company to take over the conservatorship of the estate, it is also shown that she has no developmental disability that would be need to be under a conservatorship and that apparently it is voluntary. (giving some truth to the alleged rumor that she was told she needed to be under it for the circus tour for insurance purposes then never got out of it). There's also other filings saying she wants control of things and even has a clause to cancel all NDA's and stopped them in general which would be huge. Her dad and "manager" Lou Taylor must be shaking.... @meanerthree on twitter has some of the documents up, ill try to link some of the tweets.. she even signed herself. hope she gets control of her life and does whatever she pleases... whether its retiring forever or continuing her music.

Yeah uh, doesn’t look like she’s happy with Jamie Lynn taking over her trust either. Wtf is going on with this family? Edit: reading the list of demands (her having to demand to have the responsibility to be able to pay her own employees is just pathetic) I, uh, think Jamie Lynn was in on this. She was seeking more control as Trustee right before this broke out.
God help them all if she gets out of her NDAs and she lands a prime time slot literally anywhere. I hope she burns everyone.
Obviously she’ll need a psychiatric evaluation to confirm this in court, I don’t think the documents are officiated but rather her saying she herself is claiming she doesn’t have any diagnosis, but I think we’re reaching the endgame.
Edit:
Cher is team Free Britney.

This is all so wild and if half of it is true is the pop culture scandal of our generation. Not that Britney is any stranger to being just that, but still, this is just...really wild. I don’t even know what to think besides to again wish her health and happiness, which honestly seems so empty given her feelings and situation.

So what she demands is pretty much a third-party accountant? And it just happens that whoever is in charge of her conservatorship covers that spot too so they're trying to figure out who's the better fit for both positions? Which means that her getting rid of the c-ship completely is still not in the talks?
