Is Britney Spears A Prisoner? | Case File #20

12 years ago she lost control of her life. Is it for mental health reasons, or something far more evil? In 2008, after a very public mental health scare in which pop star Britney Spears shaved her head and had several violent outbursts, her father, Jamie Spears, was granted a permanent conservatorship over her. Conservatorships are usually reserved for the mentally unwell or handicapped, or the old and infirm, and make it so you are not legally allowed to make your own decisions, vote, drive a car, get married, or many other basic elements of human life. Now, a growing movement of concerned fans believe that she's being held against her will and is trying to cry for help through coded messages on her social media pages. Are they right? Is Britney being controlled by her father and a team exploiting her talents for money? Or is she suffering from private mental health issues and being placed under this legal psychiatric hold for her own good? On this episode of Deep Cuts, we explore and attempt to make sense of #FreeBritney and the Britney Spears conservatorship.
