Britney Spears has praised the ‘Free Britney’ movement for helping her break free from her conservatorship.
Last week, the pop singer’s father Jamie was suspended from her conservatorship, 13 years after it was established.
Taking to Twitter on Monday night, the 39-year-old tweeted: “#FreeBritney movement… I have no words…”

“Because of you guys and your constant resilience in freeing me from my conservatorship … my life is now in that direction!!!!!” she wrote.
“I cried last night for two hours cause my fans are the best and I know it… I feel your hearts and you feel mine … that much I know is true!!!!!”
A host of Britney’s fans launched the #FreeBritney movement back in 2019, with the aim of freeing the singer from her conservatorship.
Over the past two years, the group has protested outside her conservatorship hearings in Los Angeles, and raised awareness of conservatorship abuse on social media.
The movement was featured prominently in recent documentaries about Britney’s conservatorship – including Framing Britney Spears, Controlling Britney Spears, and Britney vs. Spears.
Britney officially filed a petition to replace her father Jamie as the conservator of her estate in July.
According to court documents obtained by E! News, Britney’s estate is worth $57.4 million – which includes $2.7 million in cash assets, and $54.7 million in non-cash assets.
The 39-year-old was placed under a conservatorship after she suffered an alleged breakdown in 2008.
A conservatorship is granted to those who are incapable of making decisions, such as people with mental disabilities.
The arrangement put her estate, financial assets, and some personal assets under the control of her father Jamie, and lawyer Andrew Wallet – who has since resigned from the role.
The pop star’s conservatorship has been under review since 2019 after she accused her father of forcing her to enter a mental health facility.
