Britney Spears’ Friday independence day was marked by the end of her legal conservatorship.
A judge ruled in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom to end a conservatorship that has controlled Spears’ money and life for nearly 14 years.
Judge Judge Brenda Penny sided with Spears’ attorney and court-appointed administrators who have publicly supported dissolving the conservatorship.
The singer shared images on Instagram of herself wearing the outfit. “Free Britney”T-shirt given in advance of the scheduled proceeding. It was a nod towards the #FreeBritney movement which grew among fans and celebrities.
Previously, Spears, 39, had testified via telephone testimony, criticizing her father’s control of the conservatorship and saying he was abusive and forced her to receive medical treatment and to perform when she was sick.
Her father denied all claims and stated that he was only trying to protect her. He was expelled from the conservatorship in September.
