At a virtual hearing on Wednesday, June 23, the pop star read a lengthy statement by phone calling her 13-year-long court-approved conservatorship “abusive” and “stupid” and requesting that it come to an end without her being evaluated by a therapist.
In September 2007, months after Britney first showed signs of personal turmoil in public and after she was heavily criticized for what was expected to be a comeback performance at the MTV VMAs, a 19-year-old Chris tearfully defended the singer in what would later become one of the first viral YouTube videos.
The influencer continued, “It’s not about what I or anyone else has to say.
I am traumatized, you know, fake it till you make it, but now I’m telling you the truth, OK, I’m not happy.
It makes no sense whatsoever for the state of California to sit back and literally watch me with their own two eyes make a living for so many people and take so many people, trucks and buses, on the road with me and be told I’m not good enough.
Chris’ “Leave Britney Alone” video also became a topic of discussion after Britney made her statement, especially after audio from the phone call leaked online.
