Spears, a mother of two, said she wanted to marry her boyfriend and have another baby, but the conservatorship would not allow her to.
She came across as isolated, lost and lonely; a superstar that has been relentlessly manipulated.
After stints in hospital and rehab, Spears’ father Jamie petitions a Los Angeles court to place his daughter under a temporary conservatorship.
Despite being unable to handle her own affairs, Spears continues to work.
Spears says she is taking a break from work because of her father’s health issues.
Court records from 2019, the last time she spoke in court, have never been made public.
