The singer publicly testified that under the conservatorship she was forced to have an IUD in order to prevent her from having more children and wasn t allowed to get married among other claims She also said that she received no support from her family during this time and that she wanted Jamie to be punished and jailed for his abuse

A woman introduced the idea of the conservatorship to my dad and my mom actually helped him follow through and made it all happen Britney says in the video There were no drugs in my system no alcohol nothing — it was pure abuse

The main thing I do remember when I first started was my dad s control He loved to control everything I did I remember the first day he said I m Britney Spears and I m calling the shots and I m like Alrighty then she recalls

I think when my mom gave him the idea for the conservatorship and his friend I think he just really like regrouped it and made such a really really overhauling big deal out of it and it was just really too much she goes on All I do remember is I had to do what I was told They made me feel like nothing And I went along with it because I was scared and fearful

Britney then says she was held in a mental health facility against her will which she s previously been vocal about Just last month in fact she claimed that she got no response from her mom after expressing fear that her doctors there were trying to kill her

Now shedding further light on what actually went down at this time Britney claims in the video that she was hastily sent away after she said No to a dance during tour rehearsals

Christopher Polk

I went to one rehearsal and I said No to a dance and it was like No can we do that I want to do this she recalls And then I just remember everything got really weird and quiet and all the directors and producers went in the back room and just spoke And that was it And I was like Well I don t know what s going on

Kevin Winter / Getty Images

The next day I was told that I had to be sent away to a facility and that I was supposed to say on my Instagram the reason why is because my dad is sick and I need treatment which was not true I didn t want to ever go there she says

I remember my dad calling me on the phone and I was crying And I was like Why are you guys doing this Like what And I just remember him saying It s— You have to listen to the doctors the doctors are going to tell you what to do I can t help you now she goes on

And I remember his last words were Now you don t have to go But if you don t go we re going to go to court and there ll be a big trial and you re going to lose I have way more people on my side than you You don t even have a lawyer Britney recounts

So I did it I went to the place I was scared out of my mind she says And none of it again made any sense of what they were doing to me And again I haven t wanted to share this because it s unbelievably offensive sad abusive And honestly would anybody believe me

I was a fucking machine Not even human almost It was insane how hard I worked And the one time I speak up and say no in rehearsals to a fucking dance move they got pissed she says of her family

Britney adds that while she felt completely helpless in the facility her family were allegedly out in Destin Florida relaxing at her million-dollar condo

I remember the main thing of when I was in that place was that my heart felt like it was frozen like it was stuck inside I wanted to scream and I wanted to get out she says I felt like I was in a state of shock almost like when an old person feels helpless

Sitting down drawing six galls of blood every week she says Weak as hell And then my family is in Destin at my beach house It didn t make sense

Britney Spears @britneyspears A reminder to some of you who may have gotten what I said confused … it was 6 small vials of blood not 6 gallons !!! 04:30 AM - 29 Aug 2022 Reply Retweet Favorite Twitter: @britneyspears

I was so so weak and my family s at my beach house she says I m sharing this because I want people to know I m only human I do feel victimized after these experiences and how can I mend this if I don t talk about it

Going on to discuss how Jamie had to let her go when the #FreeBritney campaign gained immense popularity Britney detailed that she was angry at her mom for not stepping in sooner to put an end to the conservatorship

The whole thing that made it really confusing for me was these people are on the street fighting for me but my sister and my mother aren t doing anything It was like they secretly honestly liked me being the bad one like I was messed up Otherwise why weren t they outside my doorstep saying Baby girl get in the car let s go she asks

Chelsea Guglielmino / Getty Images

I couldn t process how my family went along with it for so long and their only response was We didn t know I m like I m on the phone telling you right now I m here Please she says adding that it felt like her family threw her away

Kevin Winter / Getty Images

Britney continues I m honestly more angry at my mom because I heard when reporters would call her at the time and ask questions of what was going on She would go innocently 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

Bauer-griffin / GC Images

I feel like she could have gotten me a lawyer in literally two seconds My friend helped me get one in the end But every time I made contact with a firm my phone was tapped and they would take my phone away from me Britney says in the video

Shortly after Britney s now-deleted video gained huge traction online her mom Lynne hit back at the claims with a message shared to her Instagram page
