Britney Spears is expected to address the court this afternoon during a hearing about her conservatorship. The hearing is scheduled to begin at 21:30 PM.
This will be the first time she addresses the court since her court-appointed attorney, Samuel Ingham III, filed to suspend her father Jamie Spears as the conservator of her estimated $60 million estate last year.

“I want to be able to get married and have a baby”
“I want to be able to get married and have a baby,” Spears said. “I have an IUD inside of myself so that I don’t get pregnant, but [my team doesn’t] want me to have any more children.”
Additionally, Spears noted the amount of time she spends in therapy: “They have me going to therapy three times a week and to a psychiatrist,” saying that she was made to visit a facility in Westlake, California, where her team allegedly knew paparazzi would be present to take unflattering photographs.
“I truly believe this conservatorship is abusive. I don’t feel like I can live a full life. In the meantime, I want this therapist to come to my home, I’m not willing to go to Westlake… They set me up by sending me to the most exposed places. I need your help.”
Britney Spears speaks to the court: “I just want my life back”
Speaking to the Judge, Britney Spears gave a stunning statement around her conservatorship.
“I am not happy, I can’t sleep. I’m so angry, it’s insane. And I’m depressed,” she said.
“My dad and anyone involved in this conservatorship, including my management … they should be in jail.”
“The last time I spoke to you [the judge] … made me feel like I was dead. I am telling you again because I am not lying … so maybe you can understand the depth and the degree and the damages … I deserve changes.”
On why she didn’t tell the public about how she felt, Spears said, “I honestly don’t think anyone would believe me. I thought people would make fun of me. I’m just want my life back. It’s enough.”
“All I would honestly like to sue my family [and] share my story with the world.”
Ultimately, Spears seeks to end her conservatorship without being evaluated by medical professionals, saying, she has “done enough”.
