Britney Spears Embraces Love and Resolves Conservatorship Battle With Father Jamie

Britney Spears marked the official end of her conservatorship by indulging in a glass of wine. She shared a message on Instagram, expressing that love has the power to heal everything. Alongside the message, she posted a photo of a bottle of Norton Malbec from 2019. She mentioned how nice it feels to finally have a glass of real wine, emphasizing that it was her first time experiencing it.

Britney Spears claimed in a now-deleted Instagram post from June 2022 that her conservatorship required her to undergo weekly drug tests and prohibited her from drinking alcohol, as reported by Business Insider. On the same day, it was confirmed that the pop star had reached a settlement in her lawsuit against her estranged father, Jamie Spears, regarding her conservatorship.

In a statement to Us on Friday, Britney's attorney Mathew Rosengart expressed that it had been a privilege to represent and protect the iconic and talented artist. He stated, "Although the conservatorship ended in November 2021, Britney's desire for freedom is now truly fulfilled."

The settlement means that Britney will no longer have to deal with court or legal proceedings in the future, according to Rosengart. He stated, "Britney Spears achieved victory when the court removed her father from control, and when her fundamental rights and civil liberties were restored."

For 13 years, Britney's father, aged 71, had control over her estate before her conservatorship, which put Jamie in charge of her finances and personal matters, was ended in November 2021. The conservatorship began in 2008 following Britney's public struggles after her divorce from Kevin Federline. (The couple shares sons Sean, 18, and Jayden, 17.)

In her 2023 memoir, The Woman in Me, Britney shared how she felt like a "child-robot" for over ten years, controlled by her father.

She expressed, "I felt like I was being treated like a child for so long that I started to lose parts of myself that made me who I am. The conservatorship took away my womanhood, turning me into a child. I felt like I was more of a thing than a person when I was on stage. Music has always been a part of me, in my bones and blood; they took that away from me."

Jamie sees the conservatorship differently. In a December 2022 interview with the Daily Mail, he acknowledged that not everyone agrees with him. He expressed his love for his daughter, Britney, and emphasized the importance of the conservatorship in protecting her and her two teenage sons. Jamie believes that without the conservatorship, Britney may not be alive today.
