"This conservatorship killed my dreams": Britney Spears posts about father and sister
CBSN
Britney Spears wrote two lenghty Instagram posts late Saturday calling out her father and sister, and she refused to perform on stage again until she has control over her own career. "Look I'm not gonna be performing on any stages anytime soon with my dad handling what I wear, say, do, or think," she wrote in one post.
The two posts are the latest public comments Spears has made as she fights to end a conservatorship, which has allowed a court-appointed conservator — in this case, her father —to control her career and finances since 2008. On Wednesday, she won a major victory in court when a judge ruled she had the right to choose her own lawyer rather than a court-appointed counsel. Spears, 39, has not performed in public since the end of 2018 at the end of her world tour and Las Vegas residency. She has claimed she was forced to work 70 hours a week in the past, and she has called the conservatorship abusive in court. The financial group Bessemer Trust resigned as co-conservator following Spears' testimony against the legal arrangement in June, Jamie Spears remained the sole conservator of Spears' estate.Rodeo star Spencer Wright and his wife are making end-of-life preparations for their 3-year-old son after he was found unconscious in a creek, a close family friend said in updates posted on social media and confirmed to CBS affiliate KUTV.
