Paris Hilton, Miley Cyrus And More Celebs Support The #FreeBritney Movement

In September 2020, Britney publicly addressed the #FreeBritney campaign for the first time in a landmark court filing slamming Jamie’s request to close her conservatorship hearings to the public.

Spears was placed under the legal guardianship in February 2008 after she suffered a public breakdown. Her father, Jamie Spears, has been the main conservator of Britney’s person and her estate, but attorney Andrew Wallet and licensed fiduciary Jodi Montgomery have also had roles in the case.

Since April 2019, Britney Spears’ fans have been flooding social media with the hashtag #FreeBritney in hopes of uncovering the truth about the Princess of Pop’s conservatorship.

In 2019. Britney spent a month in a mental health facility. That September, Jamie temporarily relinquished his powers to Montgomery, citing “personal health reasons.” Wallet took legal steps to return to his role in August 2020.

Montgomery’s stint is set to end in February 2021, but Britney stated in court documents in August 2020 that she is “strongly opposed to having [Jamie] return.” She asked that Montgomery continue as the conservator of her person and that a “qualified corporate fiduciary” replace her dad’s control of her estate.

In September 2020, Britney publicly addressed the #FreeBritney campaign for the first time in a landmark court filing slamming Jamie’s request to close her conservatorship hearings to the public.

“Britney herself is vehemently opposed to this effort by her father to keep her legal struggle hidden away in the closet as a family secret,” her attorney, Samuel D. Ingham III, said in court documents obtained by Us.

Check out celebrities who have called for Britney to have more freedom.

Paris Hilton

“I just love her so much. I feel like if you are an adult, you should be able to live your life and not be controlled,” the socialite said of her longtime friend on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live in September 2020. “I think maybe that stems from me being controlled so much, so I can understand how that would feel, and I can’t imagine right now if that was still happening to me. After just working your whole life and working so hard, she’s this icon, and I just feel like she has no control of her life whatsoever, and I just don’t think that’s fair.”

It’s very frustrating. Then you have, like, the whole world looking at you. No privacy, it’s crazy. I can’t imagine if you do it for such a long time like her.”

“Obviously she’s got some problems. I don’t know what she’s going through. I don’t know exactly what her diagnoses are, but online these videos are definitely out of character for her. This is kind of a new thing,” the former ’NSync member said on his podcast, “The Daily Popcast,” in August 2020. “She feels very happy and wants to do these videos. I don’t see any danger in it. I think they’re kind of fun and positive. I would be more worried if she disappeared from social media.”

“Keep up the happy posts and your faith in Jesus Christ. How about instead of #freebritney we say #GodIsWatchingOverBritney. How about let’s give this wonderful woman the dignity she deserves and earned. Until you know the facts stop speculating and perpetuating the father of lies. We all know she’s under a type of control that’s unfair and things will be fixed. Have faith. Wish her well! Send good vibes of no fear! Please! #alldarknesscomestolight.”

Sharon Osbourne

“The one thing about Britney that’s always broken my heart about her is that she was working from a very, very young [age]. She was on Broadway at, like, 10 or something ridiculous, and she’s worked her entire life” the Osbournes alum said while cohosting The Talk in April 2019. “Nobody works for her for free. They work for her because they get a percentage of what she earns. So when there’s a lot of money involved, nothing would surprise me. … It’s time for her to have a life, and maybe her dad can find a job.”
