Apologies in advance if anyone considers this too far off the topic at hand.

Parental Authority was and is a recurring theme on this forum, especially the case of parental authority being exercised over those who are over the legal age of majority.

It is of course possible to have a conservatorship in which none of the conservators is a parent or relative.

She’s 37 years old, and she’s been (re)locked in the yoke of parental authority for over a decade.

<< ... Over a decade later, the conservatorship remains in place, severely limiting Britney’s ability to make decisions for herself. Britney is not allowed to drive a car. Every one of Britney’s purchases is documented for legal posterity. Britney is not allowed to have a smartphone. Britney is 37 years old. >>

<< Already suspicious over an uncharacteristic emoticon in one of Britney’s Instagram posts (she prefers emoji) announcing the cancellation of her Vegas show ... >>

One is left with the clear impression that she was forced to hand over the passwords to her social media accounts.

<< Her father doesn’t allow her to drive, all of her calls & messages are monitored, she’s not allowed to vote, hang with anyone or spend her money without permission. >>

She is also not allowed to marry or change her residence without permission of the conservator(s).

If you are in a conservatorship, you also cannot hire your own attorney to help you get out.

This is so deliciously cruel.

    Hard to believe!!! I've always thought she's a superstar with millions of fans...
    "Free Britney" started for over a year ago and 6,213 have signed. Let’s get to 7,500! 😂

    well, she had serious problems in the past (drugs etc.) but I agree with you that it is currently a major abuse of her father 🙁

    aslan_asena She would look great in a red My-Steel waist style belt. Maybe we should drop Mr. Spears an e-mail. 🤣

    Well, I think a fair deal, but only if she gets her freedom back. 😉

      Angelina Well, I think a fair deal, but only if she gets her freedom back. 😉

      Freedom in return for chastity. Sounds good. 😃

      Unfortunately, she's not popular enough to be a role model for teenage girls.
