  • US Congress invites Britney Spears to speak about conservatorship
    Britney Spears, who had been in an abusive conservatorship from 2008 until recently.

The United States Congress has invited Britney Spears, in a letter, to share her experience under conservatorship. 

Britney Spears, who is 41, shared the letter on her Instagram page, saying that she feels "heard" due to the attention and importance given to the case by Washington.

A post shared by Britney Spears (@britneyspears)

The letter, which was written on December 1, 2021, congratulated Britney and her lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, on their "historic victories," saying that "It goes without saying that we have been following your conservatorship closely and we're elated that you were able to both remove your father as a years-long conservator in September and finally terminate your conservatorship entirely in November." 

The letter is from December last year, and the superstar provided an explanation for its lateness, saying that "at the time I wasn't nearly at the healing stage I'm in now."

"Your journey toward justice will inspire and empower many others who are improperly silenced by the conservatorship process," it continued.

"Many concerning issues that are commonplace in the guardianship and conservatorship process were brought to light. Especially troubling was news that, for years, you were unable to hire your own counsel to represent your personal and financial interests. Other issues surrounding the initial petition, the eventual permanence of the conservatorship, and being forced to engage in employment against your will, are all equaling [sic] concerning."
 
In the caption, Britney wrote that she's "flattered," and that she's grateful that her story was even acknowledged, and that although her own family turned their back on her, she found empathy in the letter sent to her. 

"I wish I would have been … I was so scared and nothing is worse than your own family doing what they did to me … I'm lucky to have a small circle of adorable friends who I can count on … In the meantime thank you to Congress for inviting me to the White House," Britney concluded in the caption. 

Britney set free 

Last November, for the first time since 2008, world-famous pop star Britney Spears finally became able to make her own medical, financial and personal decisions without her father's nose butting into every detail of her life.

Signed under an abusive conservatorship system at the height of her career and motherhood - at the age of 26 - she had not had the right to execute personal decisions.

Superior Los Angeles Court Judge Brenda Penny announced, "As of today, the conservatorship of the person and estate of Britney Jean Spears is hereby terminated."

After the announcement of the decision, crowds cheered "Britney! Britney! Britney!", as fans also sang and danced to her song, "Stronger."

Matthew Rosengart, Britney's attorney, expressed that Britney's conservatorship case shed light on the issue on a national level: The case "helped shine a light on conservatorships and guardianships from coast to coast, from California to New York. And that took a tremendous amount of insight, courage and grace."

From 2008 until recently, Samuel Ingham had been Britney's conservatorship attorney. However, after Britney's criticism of his representation, Ingham stepped down and resigned. Judge Brenda Penny, who has been following up with the conservatorship case, allowed Spears to choose her own attorney, which was a step forward in reestablishing Britney's autonomy and rights earlier this year.
