WHAT IS THE #FREEBRITNEY MOVEMENT?

Fans of Britney Spears say the 39-year-old superstar is being manipulated and controlled under the grounds of her conservatorship.

Under the hashtag #freebritney, they’re calling for the end of her conservatorship.

Specifically, fans are calling for Britney to have access to her own lawyer in her case.

BRITNEY FILED FOR CONSERVATORSHIP TO END THIS YEAR

The singer asked a judge to permanently end her father’s control over her $60m fortune and personal life last April.

Her attorney filed for Jodi Montgomery to officially replace Jamie Spears as the permanent conservator over Spears’ personal matters.

WHY DID BRITNEY LOSE CUSTODY OF SONS?

The star previously lost custody of the two boys in 2007 after a breakdown which saw the distressed star shave her own head before attacking a photographer’s car with an umbrella.

A judge granted full custody to Federline, much to Britney’s distress.

In 2008, Britney was then arrested after locking herself in a bathroom with Jayden, who was one-year-old at the time.

The drama ended with Britney being stretchered away from her home in an ambulance after a four-hour standoff.

HOW MANY KIDS DOES BRITNEY HAVE?

Britney has two children, Sean Federline, 15 and Jayden Federline, 14.

Their father is Kevin Federline, one of Britney’s former backup dancers.

They met in 2004 and after three months of dating, the pair announced their engagement in July 2004 and got married in September in Studio City, California.

The following year, Britney’s first son Sean was born.

DOES BRITNEY SPEARS HAVE CUSTODY OF HER CHILDREN?

The pop star has been battling with ex-husband Kevin Federline for custody of her two children, Sean and Jayden.

Federline has 70 percent custody of both children while Britney getting the other 30 percent unsupervised rights, TMZ reports.

The pair previously shared 50-50 custody of their boys.

SPEARS APOLOGIZES TO FANS

Britney took to Instagram on Thursday to apologize to her fans for “pretending she’s ok.”

Alongside a quote from Albert Einstein, the singer explained that she pretended everything was okay as she was “embarrassed to share what happened to me.”

However, many fans took to the comments section to share their beliefs that Britney didn’t write the post.

BRITNEY SLAMS FAMILY

Britney Spears on Wednesday criticized her family on how they have handled her conservatorship, stating: “My family didn’t do a God damn thing. Anything I had to do, [my dad] was the one who approved all of it. My whole family did nothing.”

Additionally, the Toxic singer shared she wants to have children with her boyfriend Sam but is being prevented from doing so.

BRITNEY’S CONSERVATORSHIP CLAIMS

The singer made a number of shocking claims during the hearing on Wednesday, including that her family sent her to a $60K rehab at a small Los Angeles home.

Britney claimed the people that ran the rehab center were trying to hurt her, while her dad allegedly “loved it.”

She also compared the “abusive” conservatorship to sex trafficking, stating: “In California, the only similar thing to this is called sex trafficking, making anyone work against their will.

“And taking all their possessions away, credit card, cash, phone, passport.

BRITNEY JOKES AROUND WITH BOYFRIEND AFTER HEARING

On Thursday, Sam Asghari shared a cute video goofing off with Britney on a private jet just hours after the explosive conservatorship hearing.

The actor shared a series of videos to his Instagram page flying high in the sky alongside the pop star, who appeared in good spirits laughing throughout the trip.

The couple played with different filters and they enjoyed spending quality time together.

SAM ASGHARI SLAMS JAMIE SPEARS AS A ‘D**K’

Britney Spears’ family was reportedly “furious” after the singer’s boyfriend, Sam Asghari, called her dad Jamie a “d**k” on Instagram earlier this year. 

The Sun exclusively revealed in February that Asghari had posted a take down of Jamie.

“Now it’s important for people to understand that I have zero respect for someone trying to control our relationship and constantly throwing obstacles our way. In my opinion, Jamie is a total d**k,” he said.

The rant came days after the release of documentary Framing Britney Spears, which shed light on her mental breakdown, 13-year conservatorship and the #FreeBritney movement. 

BRITNEY APPEARS VIA AUDIO LINK

Britney Spears appeared via an audio-only link during her conservatorship hearing on Wednesday.

She made shocking claims about its control over her life.

WHEN DID BRITNEY’S CONSERVATORSHIP START?

The pop star’s conservatorship was implemented in 2008 after she had a mental health breakdown.

The arrangement put her financial and personal assets, along with her estate, under the control of her father Jamie Spears, and lawyer Andrew Wallet, who has since resigned.

Britney’s father temporarily stepped down as her conservator due to “personal health reasons,” as Jodi Montgomery was made temporary conservator until January 20, 2020.

The move came after Britney’s ex-husband, Kevin Federline, filed a police report against Jamie, claiming he abused their oldest son, Sean Preston, during an August 24 incident. No criminal charges were filed against Jamie.

BRITNEY HEADS TO MIAMI AFTER COURT HEARING

JAMIE LYNN ‘SILENCE’

Jamie Lynn’s silence on Britney’s conservatorship has upset fans, as she’s continued to be active on social media.

Additionally, Jamie Lynn has been said to be very protective of her pop-star older sister.

SISTER SLAMMED

Brritney Spears’ sister Jamie Lynn was ripped by fans and turned her Instagram comments off on Friday.

The 30-year-old is facing backlash as she has remained silent following Britney’s “abuse” claims in her conservatorship court hearing.

Shortly after Britney. 39, slammed her family during the hearing on Wednesday, fans noticed the singer’s younger sister has stayed quiet regarding the conservatorship.

BRITNEY SAYS SHE WAS ‘FORCED’ TO GO ON TOUR

Britney claimed she was forced to go on tour in 2018, stating: “My manager said if I don’t do this tour I would have to find an attorney and my own management could sue me if I didn’t follow through with the tour.“

The manager handed her a sheet of paper while she got off stage and forced her to sign it.

She recalled: “It was very threatening and scary, with the conservatorship I couldn’t even get my own attorney.

“When I came off that tour a new show in Las Vegas was supposed to take place.”

SAM GIVES STRANGE COMMENTS TO REPORTERS BEFORE HEARING

Sam, 27, made some unusual comments as he was asked about his girlfriend’s forthcoming court appearance.

He was asked while walking to the gym: “So how’s Britney feeling about today’s conservatorship hearing?”

To which he replied: “Well, I’m just going to the gym making sure I’m enjoying my day, because you have to wear a mask nowadays.”

Sam was then asked: “What are your expectations of the hearing? How’s it gonna go?”

The singer did not appear to be with anyone else but a bodyguard as she walked out of the building in brown platform heels, a white shirt, tiny denim shorts and a long grey cardigan

SAM ASGHARI COMES TO HEARING IN ‘#FREEBRITNEY’ SHIRT

Before Britney headed to court on Wednesday, Sam showed his support for the singer by wearing a “Free Britney” T-shirt.

After becoming convinced that Britney has long wanted to be freed from her father’s conservatorship, her fans launched the #FreeBritney campaign and have had online and in-person events for it.

Sam posted a photo of himself wearing a shirt with the campaign name on it on his Instagram Story just ahead of Britney’s court appearance.

‘#FREEBRITNEY’ FANS CREATE PETITION

Fans have started a change.org petition demanding to allow Britney to choose her own lawyer in her conservatorship case.

“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,” the petition writes.

“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.”

BRITNEY’S DAD JAMES MOVED TO REMOTE MOBILE HOME

Jamie, 68, has allegedly sold his Louisiana family home where he raised Bryan, 44, Britney, 39, Jamie Lynn, 30.

The RV has been parked outside of an industrial warehouse that is said to contain all of his daughter’s celebrity memorabilia from her two-decade career.

The Times revealed that Jamie has been “known to host crawfish boils and stop by the town’s VFW bar.”

BRITNEY’S EX JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE SPEAKS OUT

Fans of Britney Spears have alleged that her former boyfriend Justin Timberlake treated her poorly in their relationship after a documentary premiered reflecting on the singer’s life and conservatorship.

On February 12, Justin took to Instagram to express remorse for his past.

“Ive seen the messages, tags, comments, and concerns and I want to respond,” he wrote.

“I am deeply sorry for the times in my life where my actions contributed to the problem, where I spoke out of turn, or did not speak up for what was right.

“I understand that I fell short in these moments and in many others and benefited from a system that condones misogyny and racism.”

DID JAMIE LYNN BECOME BRITNEY’S TRUSTEE?

In August 2020 when BBC News reported Jamie Lynn “asked for control of money stored in a trust fund set up for Britney’s children” after becoming a trustee of Britney’s estate in 2018.

The revelation raised some eyebrows and came after Jamie Lynn hit back on Instagram after showing her support for her sister in May 2019.

When one social media user suggested she was worried about “losing [her] allowance,” Jamie Lynn star hit back, “I have NEVER been paid a dime from my sister, that is HER hard earned money, and I am NOT entitled to a cent of it.”
