'This conservatorship killed my dreams': Britney Spears speaks out on her Instagram account
- Britney Spears has taken to Instagram to express her feelings about her 13-year conservatorship.
- Spears reiterated in a post caption that she has not been allowed to release new music.
- "My so-called support system hurt me deeply !!!! This conservatorship killed my dreams," Spears said in the post.
Since the July 14 ruling that allowed her to choose her own lawyer, Britney Spears has taken to Instagram to express her feelings about the decision and those involved in her 13-year conservatorship.
In her most recent post, which features a stock image reading "Take me as I am or kiss my a--, eat s---, and step on Legos," Spears expresses both frustrations and sentiments of hope to her followers, revealing her thoughts on her family's involvement in her conservatorship and giving her followers and the public a rare glimpse into the last decade of her life.
"I don't like that my sister showed up at an awards show and performed MY SONGS to remixes," Spears said. "My so-called support system hurt me deeply !!!! This conservatorship killed my dreams."
Still, Spears expressed that despite documentaries bringing up humiliating moments from her past, she is "way past all that and have been for a long time," adding that hope is what has sustained her.
Spears reiterated in the caption that she has not been allowed to release new music and that her father, Jamie Spears, remains in control of her conservatorship. Instead, Spears said she prefers to post videos of herself dancing in her living room.
"As I said ... hope is all I have right now ... you're lucky I post anything at all ... if you don't like what you see, unfollow me !!! People try to kill hope because hope is one of the most vulnerable and fragile things there is !!!!" the caption reads.
Several posts with long captions have been posted by Spears since July 14, the day that Judge Linda Berry ruled she was allowed to choose her own lawyer in the legal battle over her conservatorship. Former federal prosecutor Mathew Rosengart, who has experience in entertainment litigation, will now serve as Spears' counsel.
Spears' previous court-appointed lawyer, Samuel D. Ingham, III, filed to resign on July 6.
Rosengart attended Wednesday's hearing to make a due-process argument on Britney's behalf and was ultimately approved as Britney's new lawyer, according to TIME.
