Britney Spears Says Her Parents Should Be In Jail Over Conservatorship

Britney Spears' conservatorship was ended last week, and now she's released a video speaking out against her parents.

Britney Spears has claimed that her parents - including her 'church going mother - should both be locked up in prison for taking control of her life and money for 13 years. Check out her latest Instagram video below:

The pop superstar was released from her conservatorship by a judge last week after more than a decade of having her decisions taken for her, and now she's able to speak out fully against it.

She even hinted that she may one day sit down with Oprah Winfrey and discuss what it was like, much like fellow stars Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Adele have done in recent times.

Britney shared a video in which she spoke about how grateful she is to finally be 'independent and feel like a woman', but she reserved the caption for a dig at her parents, writing: "I'm not even mentioning all the bad things they did to me which they should all be in jail for... yes including my church going mother !!!!"

The pop star spoke about the reasons she now has to be happy after Los Angeles County Probate Judge Brenda Penny ruled that she could now have full control of her personal and professional decisions going forward.

Previously, her father James Spears and his business partner Lou Taylor had made decisions for her.

She also stated that the conservatorship was her mother Lynne Spears' idea because her dad was 'not smart enough' to think of it.

She explained: "I've been on the conservatorship for 13 years. That's a really long time to be in a situation you don't wanna be in,

"I'm just grateful honestly for each day and being able to have the keys to my car and being able to be independent and feel like a woman.

"Owning an ATM card, seeing cash for the first time, being able to buy candles. It's the little things for us women, but it makes a huge difference."

The singer has also announced that she is now engaged to her 27-year-old boyfriend Sam Asghari, and says she wants to use her own experiences to advocate for those who are trapped in similarly unfair conservatorships and guardianships.

Further criticising her parents, she continued: "I lived with victims my whole life as a child that's why I got out of my house and I worked for 20 years and worked my a** off."

Discussing her potential Oprah interview, she added: "I mean who knows... I do know how embarrassing it is to share the fact I've never seen cash or wasn't able to drive my car.

"But honestly it still blows my mind every day I wake up how my family and the conservatorship were able to do what they did to me."

Later in the video, Britney thanked her fans for their support, telling them: "You guys rock, honestly. My voice was muted and threatened for so long and I wasn't able to speak up or say anything.

"Because of you guys, and the awareness of kind of knowing what was going on and delivering that news to the public for so long, you gave it awareness to all of them,

"I honestly think you guys saved my life in a way. 100 percent,

"I know there's a lot of jokes about the Free Britney movement: 'We're not free we're expensive.' OK, Birdies. I'm expensive too,

"Let's move forward. God bless you all."
