The American pop star has been under the tutelage of his father for 13 years. At the trial, she admitted that she was given drugs, banned from having children and deprived of the right to privacy
Parental abuse takes strange, sometimes quite sophisticated forms. In an attempt to control their children, parents often go to the point of absurdity, depriving them of their right to their own opinions and privacy. In such relationships, people grow up with a broken soul, who then bring their childhood problems to a psychologist. A similar situation has developed with pop star Britney Spears, with only one difference: her father gained total control over her in adulthood, when the singer had already "passed" over 25 years. To keep his daughter "in check", he pumped her with sedatives, forced her to work without leave and forbade her to build a personal life. Britney confessed about these shocking details at the trial, where she asked to deprive her father of guardianship.
Jamie Spears officially received custody of his daughter in 2008. Then the star, at the peak of popularity, became the heroine of a number of scandals. She took drugs, and in addition, doctors diagnosed the singer with a mental disorder. After several hospitalizations and treatment in psychiatric clinics, information was leaked in the media that Britney had dementia. On this basis, she was declared incapacitated and, by a court decision, she was transferred to custody of her next of kin - that is, her father.

From that time to the present day, Jamie Spears has been in charge of all of his daughter's property, in full control of her condition (according to the latest data, $ 60 million). dollars) and solves all issues related to her creative activity. Moreover, until 2019, the father kept the singer's personal life under total control: in his own way limited her social circle, forbade her to start a serious relationship, and even insisted on staging intrauterine deviceso Britney doesn't get pregnant.
Since 2019, he renounced personal custody of his daughter, allegedly for health reasons, and handed this mission over to the singer's personal manager Jodie Montgomery. For Britney, this has changed little - her father still controls all her movable and immovable property, and "rules" her musical career. And the manager, who is also interested in the star's income, just continued to do what Jamie Spears used to do.

For more than ten years, Britney lived in this position, taking it for granted. According to the singer, she did not even know that she had the right to go to court and revoke the guardianship. The final straw came from an incident in 2018 when the pop star tried to cancel scheduled concerts in Las Vegas. She stated that she worked for ten years without rest, and now has the right to a well-deserved sabbatical. As a result of this "act of disobedience", sedatives that Britney took on the instructions of her doctors, replaced with lithium - a drug of toxic action, which is usually prescribed for manic-depressive psychosis.
After that, the star went to court for the first time and asked to deprive her father of custody rights. However, the court rejected the singer's claim. The main motivation was that during the guardianship, the star got out of colossal debts and made a decent fortune. Not a word was said about the psychological pressure that her father had on Britney.

And now, after a year and a half, the star decided to sue again. This time, with frightening frankness, she told all the details of her "slavery." According to Britney, all this time she lived surrounded by guards and guards, and her private bedroom did not even have doors. The schedule of her work and concert performances was scheduled by her father by the minute - the singer had neither time nor opportunity for rest. Strangers were allowed to her only with the permission and under the strict control of the guardians. And when she decided to take out the spiral so that there was a chance to get pregnant, she was simply not allowed to see the gynecologist.
This time, Britney has every chance to achieve release from custody. She has very strong support from her stage colleagues: Cher, Miley Cyrus, Justin Timberlake and actress Ariel Winter are on the side of the singer. The latter also went through parental abuse. As a minor, Ariel achieved the transfer of custody of herself from her mother to strangers. Also, her fans are behind Britney Mountain: in 2019 (after the singer still refused to perform in Las Vegas), they organized a real movement #FreeBritney (#Free Britney). This movement is gaining strength: already now it numbers millions of people who are not indifferent to the fate of the singer.
