Yesterday (June 23), Britney Spears spoke at a hearing regarding her court-ordered conservatorship controlled by her father James “Jamie” Spears. She alleged that the conservatorship has allowed her father to control her finances, decisions about her body and birth control, and more. Now, Spears has made her first public statement since the hearing took place.
Earlier tonight she posted an image on Instagram featuring a young girl holding a teddy bear. In the caption, Spears talk about her life seeming perfect to outside viewers: “I apologize for pretending like I’ve been ok the past two years,” she wrote. “I did it because of my pride and I was embarrassed to share what happened to me.” Find her full caption and post below.
One day prior to the hearing, The New York Times published a report indicating that Spears has been pushing against the conservatorship since 2014.
