Britney Spears

In a since-removed audio message, Spears spoke at length about her family making her feel "not even human"

“To me, it was like they secretly honestly liked me being the bad one—like I was messed up, and they kind of just liked it that way. She recalled being told she was “fat” and made to feel like she was “nothing,” admitting to phoning it in during performances: “I was a robot, honestly. I do feel victimized after these experiences and how can I mend this if I don’t talk about it?” Spears said, revealing that she had kept quiet for so long because of a fear of judgment or others’ disbelief. But no longer: “If you’re a weird introvert oddball like me, who feels alone a lot of the time, and you needed to hear a story like this today so you don’t feel alone, know this: My life has been far from easy, and you’re not alone.” Spears repeated multiple times on the record that she didn’t understand the conservatorship or how she was treated at the hands of her family: “Honestly to this day, I don’t know really what I did. That’s what I felt—I felt like my family threw me away.” I didn’t give a fuck anymore.” She added, “It was demoralizing.

It was pure abuse.” (A 2021 New Yorker kind of silly.” (Forthcoming memoir notwithstanding.) Subsequently, she went through each stage of the conservatorship, claiming that “it was all premeditated”: “A woman introduced the idea to my dad, and my mom actually helped him follow through and made it all happen.

Britney Spears tweeted out the link to a 22-minute audio broadside detailing the painful reality of her controlled life under her former, thirteen-year conservatorship. I’m lucky to have a small circle of adorable friends who I can count on.” The singer explained this same lifestyle to a California courtroom last year during her trial. Shortly thereafter, in 2008, the conservatorship went into place.

On Sunday evening, Britney Spears posted a 22-minute audio message to YouTube talking about her side of her conservatorship. The video was made private soon ...

I remember the main thing of when I was in that place that my heart felt like it was frozen, like it was stuck inside and I wanted to scream, I wanted to get out. I remember one time I was backstage and I needed my inhaler, and I opened up to my assistant, ‘coz I had my phone with me — which I’m not supposed to have my phone underneath the stage — but I said to her ‘you know what I’m doing’. I remember one of the guys was on an interview on the street, and he said ‘you know what, I could be totally wrong, and if I’m wrong, I’ll be really really embarrassed, and I’ll just go have a drink somewhere,’ he said, ‘but I do feel like something, like they’re doing something to her right now and I’m not sure really what it is, but that’s what my heart says.’ But the whole thing that made it really confusing for me is, that these people are on the street fighting for me, but my sister and my mother aren’t doing anything. I went to the place, I was scared out of my mind and none of it, again, made any sense of what they were doing to me. I was like ‘no, can we do that, I wanna do this,’ and I just remember everything got really weird and quiet and all the directors and producers went in the back room and just spoke, and that was it, and I was like ‘I don’t know what’s going on’ so we all were just kind of like ‘what happened?’ and then 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 is because my dad is sick and I need treatment. The last show in Vegas ended 2017, I think, I went on tour — a tour I was forced to do — but I was supposed to do a new show. But it was really tricky because I had to just play this role that everything was okay all the time, and I had to go along with it because I knew they could hurt me. Well, for some reason, I started to get a spark back — I remember recording Glory and for some reason, I think producing and making music, and I went to this little Spanish house and I got the fire back in my eyes for some reason. I even wore wigs, and all the dancers were doing all these nice, sexy head flip turns and I had conditioner treatment in my hair and these little caps over my head — during the whole show just getting conditioner treatments with wigs on because I was just like a robot, I didn’t give a f**k anymore because I couldn’t go where I wanted to go, I couldn’t have the nannies that I wanted to have, I couldn’t have cash, and it was just demoralising. I was told I was fat every day, I had to go to the gym, I had to just… I remember a lot of my friends texting me and calling me and we were extremely close and they wanted to see me but — I honestly, still to this day, don’t really know what really I did — but the punishment of my father I wasn’t able to, you know, see anyone or anything, and you have to imagine none of it made any sense to me. I remember him always being in the office and my girlfriend was his assistant and they would just stay in there all day with the door shut and I was never, ever able to leave or to go anywhere.

Britney Spears made several allegations against her family in a now-deleted video, and her mom Lynne has responded.

Earlier this year, she also had a [public dust-up with her sister](https://www.cinemablend.com/television/britney-spears-is-going-after-jamie-lynns-memoir-again-this-time-with-her-lawyers) Jamie Lynn, who, like her mother, claimed Spears [doesn’t respond to private messages](https://www.cinemablend.com/television/after-britney-spears-accuses-her-of-being-a-scum-person-jamie-lynn-spears-fires-back) and instead uses social media to talk about family issues. [new husband Sam Asghari](https://www.cinemablend.com/television/britney-spears-just-released-some-real-fairytale-footage-from-her-wedding-and-paris-hilton-is-here-for-it) has been very supportive of his wife, whether it be about the pictures and videos she’s dropped on social media or her coming to terms with her past. [officially ended late last year](https://www.cinemablend.com/television/britney-spears-pens-message-to-fans-after-being-released-from-her-conservatorship), the singer has both enjoyed her new found freedom and spoken very openly and transparently about her past. Most recently, she had a [very public war of words](https://www.cinemablend.com/television/after-very-critical-social-media-posts-involving-kids-both-britney-spears-and-kevin-federline-changed-course) with her ex-husband Kevin Federline over custody issues and how often she’s seeing their shared children. She claimed the matriarch of the family could have gotten a lawyer to help her, and instead, would either “hide” or say “we’re praying for her” but not actually offer any support. Last night, Britney Spears posted and then deleted a twenty-plus minute video in which she talked extensively about her personal life and the time she was under a conservatorship.
