During the hearing, Spears told Judge Brenda Penny that she was ‘traumatised’ and ‘depressed’ as a result of her conservatorship. I’m not here to be anyone’s slave. I’ve lied and told the whole world I’m okay and I’m happy. It’s a lie. I thought that maybe if I said it enough, I would maybe become happy because I’ve been in denial. I’ve been in shock. I am traumatised … I’m so angry it’s insane. And I’m depressed,” she stated.
She also asserted to the judge that she wanted her life back, adding, “I just want my life back, it’s been 13 years and it’s enough […]. The main reason why I’m here is because I want to end the conservatorship without being evaluated.”
She categorically stated that her conservators were not allowing her to marry her boyfriend Sam Asghari, or even have children. “I want to be able to get married and have a baby. “I’m not able to get married or have a baby. I have an IUD inside of myself right now so I don’t get pregnant,” she told the judges.
Here are some more bombshells she dropped during the court hearing.
