#FreeBritney: Fans protest Britney Spears's conservatorship, say she should control her own finances

Britney has been under a court-mandated conservatorship controlled by her father, Jamie Spears, since 2008 — the same year she had a highly publicized ordeal where she shaved her head and battled for custody of her two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James. According to reports, a court ruled that she was not legally allowed to decide what she eats and how she supports herself, or even determine who she dates or who her doctor is.

According to Business Insider, the control of her estate, financial assets, and some personal assets are under the control of her father and her lawyer. In 2019, Jamie requested to extend his daughter's conservatorship to more than ten states, including Hawaii and Florida.

This week, in the latest virtual court hearing, Britney won an incremental victory over her fight to end conservatorship when a Los Angeles probate judge gave a private trust company, Bessemer Trust Co., equal power with Jamie to manage her finances, despite an objection from Jamie Spears, who argued when Bessemer was appointed in November 2020 that it reduced the power he had held for years in the case. 

Fans are now campaigning for Kim Kardashian, who has made no secret of her interest in the law amid her work on prison reform activism and lobbying for clemency for prisoners such as Alice Marie Johnson and Chris Young. She was instrumental in persuading former President Donald Trump to support the First Step Act, which enacted major reform in the country's prison system.

While Britney may not be in prison, fans believe that there is no one better to help free her from her conservatorship than Kim Kardashian. One fan wrote, "Who we gotta hire to save Britney?? Kim Kardashian?????" Another tweeted, "i’m going to need kimmy k to lawyer up on behalf of britney bc shit needs to get done to #FreeBritney and i really only see kim getting it done what do you say @KimKardashian."

A fan opined, "I need Kim Kardashian to pause her divorce and focus her legal energy on freeing Britney," while another user wrote, "Honestly how has @KimKardashian
not made it her life’s goal to free Britney? That’s such a perfect match. Take that newfound legal passion, combine it with her high profile celeb status and set free another high profile celeb? That combo would break the entertainment world." A user tweeted, "Kim I know how busy you are but I feel like if you put some energy toward this Britney situation we could get her out of it in 5 days. @KimKardashian #FreeBritney."

However, one user pointed out, "Louise M. Taylor aka Lou M. Taylor of Tri Star Sports & Entertainment was the mastermind behind having the CONservatorship implemented. She is also involved in Kris Jenner’s business dealings which would include @KimKardashian Do you really think she would want that attention?"
