#FreeBritney: What is Britney Spears' Conservatorship All About?

Britney Spears was put under a conservatorship in 2009 after the singer’s public breakdown that involved hospitalizations and psychiatric holds, with her father maintaining control of her finances and manager Jodi Montgomery acting as conservator since 2019 (after her father resigned from the position), giving them legal and financial control of the singer, and drawing $1.1 million in fees for their service annually.
