Britney Spears' Brother Bryan Reveals Frustrating Aspects Of The Pop Star's Conservatorship
Britney Spears' brother Bryan has openly acknowledged the support for the hashtag #FreeBritney movement, which is a social media campaign bent on ending the pop singer's conservatorship, which is held by her father Jaime. During a recently aired episode of the As Not Seen on TV podcast, Bryan revealed that his sister wanted to get out of the conservatorship, which came into effect about 12 years ago citing the restrictions it placed on her life.
"It's very frustrating to have," the eldest Spears sibling vented. Regardless of the person's intentions who constantly tells you to do something can be quite frustrating, the 43-year-old said, adding that it doesn't matter if the person comes in peace in order to help or comes in with an attitude.
He admitted that although some of her fans think that Britney is been held against her will to some extent, the conservatorship has proved to be a great thing for his family. Despite the disagreement, the family came together and even though everybody didn't agree with it initially, and shared their own opinion about how they should do it, Bryan said they made the right choice in the end, speaking about the conservatorship's origins.
The producer made his appearance Thursday on the podcast, just a day after a hearing in L.A. in the ongoing conservatorship case, DailyMail reported. For a major portion of the 12 years conservatorship, the pop star has dealt with it with any signs of impatience. Britney's father Jamie Spears decided to make the sacrifice and serve as his daughter's conservator.
Bryan says his father has done the best he could in the given situation. Bryan said his family is hoping for the best while the court reevaluates the singer's legal status this year. Bryan is concerned that if the court decides to lift the conservatorship, it would have a serious impact on his sister's life, given that she has been surrounded by several people since she was just 15.
In the podcast, Bryan went on to explain that Britney had never had to do everyday chores such as making reservations, driving herself somewhere for the majority of her life. In other words, learning to do everyday tasks, and being independent will be a massive adjustment for the singer, Bryan noted.
Recalling the 2007 public breakdown, Bryan says it was a scary time for the family. He revealed that the family was not living in the same cities at the time and was surprised to learn about her mental health struggles, which triggered the creation of the conservatorship.
