  • Britney Spears' legal guardianship, or conservatorship, that was implemented in 2008 after highly publicized mental breakdowns will remain unchanged until at least February 2021. Earlier this year, it was extended until at least August 22.
  • The arrangement, as previously reported by Business Insider's Hillary Hoffower, makes it so that Spears has no control over her own estate or personal assets; her father and lawyer do.
  • Earlier this month, Spears requested that her father be removed as conservator of her estate. After an August 19 hearing, however, LA Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny extended the conservatorship as is until at least February 1, 2021, The New York Times' Joe Coscarelli reported.
  • Some of Spears' fans have joined the #FreeBritney movement, saying that she is being controlled or manipulated, but insiders have told media outlets over the years that Spears is involved in business decisions.
  • Even still, Spears' recent attempts to change the conservatorship has only bolstered the #FreeBritney fan effort.
