Britney Spears is now revealing new details about her 2008 psychiatric hold and the abuse she suffered from her family while she was in conservatorship.
“They literally killed me. They threw me away,”The pop singer spoke in a 22-minute audio recorded that was posted to YouTube.
Spears claims her mom Lynne Spears gave her a cryptic warning just before she was taken away in 2008
“She said, ‘We’ve heard people are coming here today to talk to you. We should probably go, you know, to a hotel or something,’” Spears said. “Then four hours later, there were over 200 paparazzi outside my house videotaping me through a window of an ambulance holding me down.”
Spears claims that the whole incident was staged.
“I know now it was all premeditated, and a woman introduced the idea to my dad, then my mom actually helped him follow through and made it all happen. There was no drugs in my system, no alcohol, nothing. It was pure abuse,” Spears said.
Spears claims that she was always scared in the years following and throughout her conservatorship.
In 2019, Spears announced her Las Vegas residency was canceled because her father’s health was failing. Now, she claims that it was all a liar.
“I went to one of the rehearsals and I said ‘no’ to a dance move. The next day, I was told that I had to be sent away to a facility, and I was supposed to say on my Instagram, the reason why is because my dad is sick and I need treatment,” Spears said.
As the “Free Britney” movement picked up steam, Spears says she can’t believe her mom and sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, didn’t step up to help.
“I’m honestly more angry at my mom, because I heard when reporters would call her, she would go innocently hide in the house and she wouldn’t speak up. It was always like, ‘I don’t know what to say. I just don’t want to say the wrong thing. We’re praying for her,’” Spears said.
“I honestly deserve an award for acting like I was OK everyday. I thought they were trying to f*****g kill me,”The pop star was still going strong.
The recording, which has since been taken down, clearly touched a nerve with Spears’ mother. Lynne Spears responded by saying that she loves her daughter but that their differences should be discussed privately.
Jamie Spears, her father, previously stated that he always acted in the best interests of his daughter.
