Britney Spears’ conservatorship is finally over.
On Friday, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny terminated the arrangement that has hung over the pop star, restricting the control of her finances and wellbeing.
Britney could be free to make her own life decisions again early in the new year, once administrative and legal matters have been tied up.
Alongside a video recorded outside the courthouse and shared on Instagram, she penned: “Good God I love my fans so much it’s crazy!!! I think I’m gonna cry the rest of the day!!!! Best day ever… praise the Lord… can I get an Amen.”
The Lucky hitmaker ended the caption with the hashtag “#FreedBritney”.
Now that the conservatorship has come to an end, Britney faces a battle with her parents, with her lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, keen to depose her dad and conservator, Jamie, over the way he handled the situation. and managed his daughter’s money. Britney, meanwhile, has taken her mum, Lynne, to task after she requested the singer’s estate covers her legal fees.
“She secretly ruined my life,” Britney penned in a since-deleted social media post. |My dad may have started the conservatorship 13 years ago… but what people don’t know is that my mom is the one who gave him the idea.”
John Zabel, the accountant selected by Rosengart to replace Jamie as Britney’s conservator, and his co-conservator, Jodi Montgomery, will now wind down the arrangement.
Once they’ve taken care of legal and administrative issues, Britney will be completely free early next year.
