This Sunday, American singer Britney Spears released a 22-minute audio clip on YouTube in which she talks about the “abuse” she experienced as a result of her guardianship and also shared why she turned down “a lot of money” to do an interview with Oprah. Winfrey.
“I get nothing by sharing all this. I’ve got offers to do interviews with Oprah and a lot of people for lots and lots of money, but she’s crazy. I don’t want any of that. For me, it goes beyond a formal interview,” she said.
The ‘Hold Me Closer’ singer once again lashed out at her family in the audio, explaining that she felt she had been abandoned in the midst of her guardianship.
“They literally killed me. They threw me I felt like my family threw me out. He was performing for thousands of people at night in Las Vegas, the thrill of being an artist, the laughter, the respect… He was a machine. I was a fucking machine, not even human. It was crazy,” he can be heard saying.
The Grammy winner also reaffirmed that she was forced into a mental health facility in early 2019 because she objected to a dance move during one of her rehearsals.
In the audio, he described the invasive circumstances within the conservatorship, in which he allegedly had to strip naked in front of others and attend “militant” forms of therapy.
“They put me in an ignorant state of mind to make me feel like I needed them,” he said, adding that he was allegedly told, “If you don’t do what we say, we’ll show you who’s boss.”
Spears claimed that she was forced to tell the public that she sought treatment due to her father Jamie Spears’ colon disease, but behind closed doors she was “mourning” her father, Jamie Spears.
“I was like, ‘Why are they doing this?’ and she added that the last words her father said to her were about the trial that the singer intended to start for so many years of guardianship.
“If we’re going to go to trial, you’re going to lose. I have a lot more people on my side than you. You don’t even have a lawyer, so don’t even think about it.”
Britney further described the amount of control Jamie and her co-conservatives had over her, sharing that she was once in a “secret relationship” with an unidentified man.
“I was talking to a guy and he just wanted to leave the country with me. We had everything ready to go, and it was a secret relationship,” he said.
The protagonist of “Crossroads” affirmed that at that moment she told her assistant that her greatest fear was that her father would find her and do something to her. However, her employee assured her that her dad would never do anything bad to her.
Britney said that despite everything that happened between her and her father, she is “angrier” with her mother, Lynne Spears, because when reporters called the matriarch, she was allegedly “innocently hiding” and not speaking up for her daughter. .
“I feel like I could have gotten myself a lawyer in literally two seconds. In the end, my friend helped me get one, but every time he put me in contact with a company, they tapped my phone and took it away from me,” he confessed.
Mathew Rosengart, the former federal prosecutor who helped free Britney from her conservatorship in November 2021, is actively investigating allegations that Jamie and her co-conservators spied on the music superstar.
“How the hell did they get away with it? I’m sharing this because I want people to know that I’m only human. I feel victimized after these experiences, and how can I make amends if I don’t talk about it?” she explained.
In February, Page Six exclusively reported that Britney is working on a landmark $15 million deal to share even more details about her story, according to editorial sources. Representatives for the “Toxic” singer have declined to comment.
