News of the conservatorship being over marked the end of a long journey for the pop star. During a June 23 hearing, Spears broke her silence and detailed the hardships she has endured throughout the decades-long conservatorship and expressed that it was her “wish” and “dream” for the conservatorship to end. She also expressed hopes for justice and that her father be charged with “conservatorship abuse.”
After L.A. County Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny granted Spears the ability to hire an attorney of her choosing for the first time in July, Spears went on to hire prosecutor-turned-litigator Mathew Rosengart. Spears’ father, Jamie Spears, was suspended as conservator of Spears’ estate in September with Rosengart launching an investigation into the alleged conservatorship abuse.
After Jamie Spears was removed as conservator of her estate, Spears shared a message on her social media to the #FreeBritney movement, composed of dedicated fans who actively protested for her freedom. “I have no words,” Spears wrote in a tweet at the time. “Because of you guys and your constant resilience in freeing me from my conservatorship … my life is now in that direction !!!!! I cried last night for two hours cause my fans are the best and I know it.” She added: “I feel your hearts and you feel mine … that much I know is true!!!!!”
