Following Britney Spears asking a judge to end her longstanding conservatorship, the singer received support from Justin Timberlake, Mariah Carey and other celebrities.
Spears addressed a Los Angeles Superior Court judge via remote connection Wednesday afternoon, detailing several ways in which the conservatorship has controlled her life, such as her not being able to remove an IUD. “I truly believe this conservatorship is abusive. I don’t feel like I can live a full life,” Spears stressed.
Timberlake tweeted Wednesday evening, “After what we saw today, we should all be supporting Britney at this time. Regardless of our past, good and bad, and no matter how long ago it was…what’s happening to her is just not right. No woman should ever be restricted from making decisions about her own body. No one should EVER be held against their will…or ever have to ask permission to access everything they’ve worked so hard for. Jess and I send our love, and our absolute support to Britney during this time. We hope the courts, and her family make this right and let her live however she wants to live.”
