Britney Spears posted a 22-minute video on Sunday (August 28), reflecting on her 13-year conservatorship which was terminated in November.  The video, initially posted to YouTube, has since been deleted.

 

 

 

 

 

“I woke up this morning and I realized there’s a lot going on in my head that I haven’t really shared with anyone.  I was scared, broken, [and] I’m sharing this because I want people to know I’m only human.  I do feel victimized after these experiences and how can I mend this if I don’t talk about it?” Britney began.  She also mentions that although she’s had ‘tons of opportunities to do interviews with big names such as Oprah, she felt it was silly to get paid to tell her story.’

“I’m here honestly just to open myself to others and try to shed a light on, if anyone out there has gone through hardships or whatever it is, to put a light on it so that person doesn’t feel alone because I really know what it feels like,” Britney shares.

 

 


 

 

Britney focused on the role her family played in the conservatorship, and how controlled her life really was, “I couldn’t process how my family went along with it for so long.  The whole thing that made it really confusing for me is these people on the street fighting for me, but my sister and my mother weren’t doing anything for me,” she explained.

 

“To me it was like they secretly, honestly lied to me being the bad one, like I was the messed up one and they kind of just liked it that way.  Otherwise, why weren’t they outside my doorstep saying, ‘Baby girl, get in the car, let’s go!’ That was the main thing that hurt me.  They literally killed me.  They threw me away. I felt like my family threw me away.  I’m honestly more angry at my mom [Lynne Spears].  I feel like she could have gotten me a lawyer in two seconds,” she continued.

 

Here’s a breakdown of Britney’s audio.

“The next day I was told that I had to be sent away to a facility and that I was supposed to say on my Instagram the reason why was because my dad is sick and I need treatment.  I remember my dad calling me on the phone and I was crying and I was like, ‘Why are you guys doing this?’ And I just remember him saying, ‘You have to listen to the doctors, the doctors are going to tell you what to do. I can’t help you now.’  And I remember his last words were, ‘Now, you don’t have to go, but if you don’t go, we’re going to go to court and there’ll be a big trial and you’re going to lose. I have way more people on my side than you, you don’t even have a lawyer. So don’t even think about it,'” Britney recalls.

 

 

Following the release of this 22-minute clip, Lynn Spears shared a throwback photo of her and Britney, and the caption reading, “Britney, your whole life I have tried my best to support your dreams and wishes! And also, I have tried my best to help you out of hardships! I have never and will never turn my back on you! Your rejections to the countless times I have flown out and calls make me feel hopeless! I have tried everything. I love you so much, but this talk is for you and me only , eye to eye, in private.”
