Celebrities from Justin Timberlake to Khloé Kardashian shared support for Britney Spears after she testified about her conservatorship

• Britney Spears spoke publicly about the conservatorship that controls most of her life.
• She said that she had been "traumatized" and called for the conservatorship to end.
• Celebrities like Halsey, Justin Timberlake, and Mariah Carey voiced their support for Spears.

On Wednesday, Britney Spears spoke publicly for the first time about the conservatorship that has controlled her life since 2008, saying that she wanted it to end.

A conservatorship for Spears was approved in Los Angeles Superior Court in 2008, meaning that her finances, estate, and some personal assets were under the control of Spears' father and a lawyer. In the time since it was implemented, Spears' fans have rallied around the #FreeBritney movement, which calls for the end of the conservatorship.

Speaking remotely to the judge in a Los Angeles courtroom on Wednesday, Spears said that it was her "wish and dream" for the conservatorship to end. She also alleged that her conservatorship wouldn't allow her to remove her IUD and get pregnant, and video of Spears saying that she had a 102-degree fever while performing in 2018 resurfaced after The New York Times reported on Tuesday that Spears had told a court in 2019 that she was forced to perform against her will.

Since then, celebrities and influencers like Mariah Carey and Chris Crocker, the creator of the "leave Britney alone" viral video, have spoken out in support of Spears, echoing her call for the end of her conservatorship.
