• In an Instagram story, Madonna said the conservatorship is "a violation of human rights."
• Madonna also compared Spears' situation to slavery, drawing criticism for being "tone deaf."

Madonna is the latest celebrity to voice support for Britney Spears during the renewed interested in the #FreeBritney movement surrounding her conservatorship.

"Give this woman her life back," Madonna posted on Instagram, with a picture of herself in a Britney Spears shirt. "Slavery was abolished so long ago! Death to the greedy patriarchy that has been doing this to women for centuries. This is a violation of human rights! Britney we coming to Get you out jail!"

Spears compared her conservatorship to "sex trafficking" during a hearing on June 23.

"In California, the only similar thing to this is called sex trafficking," Spears said. "Making anyone work against their will, taking all their possessions away."

Though many activists and legal experts agree that Britney is in "a really problematic situation," people also voiced their concerns of Madonna's use of "slavery"- calling it "tone-deaf" to compare the pop star's conservatorship to the enslavement of Black people in America.
