In a 22-minute audio message that has since been removed, singer Britney Spears opened up about her more than 13-year conservatorship.
In the voice memo that was posted on Monday to Twitter and YouTube, “Good Morning America” reports that Britney Spears said she hasn’t wanted to share what she had been through because “it’s unbelievably offensive, sad, abusive.”
Britney Spears also wondered if anyone would even believe her.
“I felt like I was in a state of shock, almost like when an old person feels helpless,” she said.
Hebrews 4:16 says, “So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.”
Britney Spears also spoke about what she went through at the beginning of her conservatorship.
“I was extremely young. I honestly still to this day don’t know what really I did. I literally spoke in a British accent to a doctor to prescribe my medication and three days later there was a SWAT team in my home… None of it made sense,” she said.
Britney Spears spoke about the confusion she felt when she received more help from her fans than her own family.
“The whole thing that made it really confusing for me is these people are on the street fighting for me, but my sister and my mother aren’t doing anything,” she said. “I couldn’t process how my family went along with it for so long and their only response was, ‘We didn’t know.’ I felt like my family threw me away. I was performing for like thousands of people. I was a machine.”
Britney Spears’s mother responded to her daughter’s allegations on her Instagram writing, “Britney, your whole life I have tried my best to support your dreams and wishes! And also, I have tried my best to help you out of hardships!”
Continuing, she wrote, “I have never and will never turn my back on you! Your rejections to the countless times I have flown out and calls make me feel hopeless! I have tried everything. I love you so much, but this talk is for you and me only , eye to eye, in private.”
Britney Spears’s conservatorship officially ended on November 12, 2021.
