Conservatorship US Pop star Britney Spears asks court to end 13-year long father's conservatorship
Los Angeles, June 24: US pop star Britney Spears has asked a court to put an end to the 13-year long conservatorship by her father James Spears.
On Wednesday, Spears gave a more than 20-minute emotional speech to the court, trying to persuade the judge, Brenda Penny, of the need to lift the conservatorship.
"Ma'am, I've worked since I was 17 years old. I can't go somewhere unless I meet someone every week in an office. I truly believe this conservatorship is abusive, but ma'am there are a thousand conservatorships that are abusive as well. I want to end the conservatorship," the singer said, as quoted by the CNN broadcaster.
The judge has not made any decision on the issue yet.
Spears, who was a renowned singer at the beginning of the 21st century, faced mental issues as well as drug and alcohol addictions, following a divorce in the late 2000s. In 2008, she was placed under temporary conservatorship, which later turned termless.
