Britney Spears has had enough.
The pop icon virtually went before a court Wednesday to speak publicly for the first time about the conservatorship, overseen by her father, that has controlled almost every aspect of her life for 13 years.
“It is my wish and dream for all of this to end,” said Spears. “I want my life back.”

This really broke my heart yesterday.
I haven’t been following #FreeBritney all that closely, but I had a general idea what was going on: she was under conservatorship controlled by her father who made all of her financial and personal decisions for her. The fans felt like Britney was essentially being held hostage and got the word out through social media, while Britney herself generally avoided the topic online. I saw videos on Instagram where she said she was the happiest she’d ever been, that the documentary about her was unauthorized, etc.
I expected her to show up to court yesterday, tell everyone to back off and that she was just fine, and maybe nicely ask to have some of the restriction lifted.
Britney Spears is being emotionally tortured, She hates her dad, she hates the conservatorship, she lies on social media — probably at the urging of her dad and lawyer — pretending to be okay. She’s in full control of her mental faculties, and her father won’t let her go because he’s making so much money keeping her as his his personal puppet and ATM.
I didn’t know it was this bad.
