“I’ve been in a conservatorship for 13 years. It’s a really long time to be in a situation you don’t want to be in. So, I’m just grateful, honestly, for each day. I’m just grateful for being able to have the keys to my car, being able to be independent like a woman, owning an ATM card, seeing cash for the first time, being able to buy candles. It’s the little things for us women but it makes a huge difference. I’m grateful for that. It’s nice, really nice. I’m not here to be a victim. I’ve lived with victims my whole life as a child. That’s why I got out of my house and worked for 20 years. I worked my ass off for 20 years and I’m here to be an advocate for people with real disabilities and real illnesses. I’m a very strong woman, so I can only imagine what the system has done to those people. So hopefully my little story will make an impact and make some changes in a corrupt system. And the #FreeBritney movement, you guys rock, honestly. My voice was muted and threatened for so long. I wasn’t able to speak up or say anything. Because of you guys and the awareness of knowing what was going on and delivering that news to the public for so long, you gave awareness to all of them. Because of you I honestly think you guys saved my life in a way, 100%…Let’s move forward. Let’s have a good year, a good Christmas. Rock on.”–Singer Britney Spears, expressing gratitude to hear fans for supporting her during her battle to end a 13-year conservatorship. In the same Instagram post, Spears hinted that she may be prepping for a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey. She also referred to the conservatorship as “demoralizing and degrading” and said of her conservators “should all be in jail…including my church going mother.”

Hopefully the first thing she does is get a forensic accountant and go over all the books for the last 13 years to make sure nobody had their hands in the till that didn’t need to.

100! she needs to sue & pursue criminal charges against them all. what happened to her was heinous on so many levels. as a fellow bipolar sufferer, as well as having autism- it horrifies me that someone’s rights can be taken away like that & literally be kept in a prison of your families making. it’s sickening.

The one thig I’ve seen people say is “What if she blows a bunch of money now that she’s off the conservatorship?”
My response, so what? Nothing says she can’t spend her money, and she definitely has the ability to make more.

Glad she’s in control of her life, no matter if it’s under control or out of control, it’s her life. I’m anxious to see her expand on the part of her statement (sic) “those things are important to us women”. I wonder what she was hinting at with that statement.
