The Free Britney movement continues and this time Britney Spears’ infamous ex, Justin Timberlake, has her back amid her conservatorship controversy. Spears attended court by phone yesterday and spoke to Judge Brenda Penny about the “abusive” conservatorship she’s been under since 2008. After hearing a “traumatized” Britney describe the way she’s been treated by her “so-called” conservatorship team over the past 13 years, JT tweeted his support for Britney.
Jess and I send our love, and our absolute support to Britney during this time. We hope the courts, and her family make this right and let her live however she wants to live.

No one should EVER be held against their will… or ever have to ask permission to access everything they’ve worked so hard for.

During the court proceedings, Britney said she’s been medicated (with Lithium) and given an IUD (birth control) against her will under the conservatorship that’s managed by her father Jamie Spears. She also said her dad “loved” having control over her.
Lithium is a very, very strong [medication] and completely different medication than what I’ve been on,” she explained. “I felt drunk. I couldn’t even stick up for myself. I couldn’t even have a conversation with my mom or dad about anything. I told them I was scared and they had six different nurses come to my home to monitor me while I was on this medication that I didn’t want to be on to begin with.”
“I want to be heard. I’m telling you this again so that maybe you understand the depth and degree and the damage…I want and deserve changes going forward,” Spears said. “I just want my life back. It’s been 13 years and it’s enough.”
