Britney Spears made several allegations against her family in a now-deleted video, and her mom Lynne has responded.

Earlier this year, she also had a [public dust-up with her sister](https://www.cinemablend.com/television/britney-spears-is-going-after-jamie-lynns-memoir-again-this-time-with-her-lawyers) Jamie Lynn, who, like her mother, claimed Spears [doesn’t respond to private messages](https://www.cinemablend.com/television/after-britney-spears-accuses-her-of-being-a-scum-person-jamie-lynn-spears-fires-back) and instead uses social media to talk about family issues. [new husband Sam Asghari](https://www.cinemablend.com/television/britney-spears-just-released-some-real-fairytale-footage-from-her-wedding-and-paris-hilton-is-here-for-it) has been very supportive of his wife, whether it be about the pictures and videos she’s dropped on social media or her coming to terms with her past. [officially ended late last year](https://www.cinemablend.com/television/britney-spears-pens-message-to-fans-after-being-released-from-her-conservatorship), the singer has both enjoyed her new found freedom and spoken very openly and transparently about her past. Most recently, she had a [very public war of words](https://www.cinemablend.com/television/after-very-critical-social-media-posts-involving-kids-both-britney-spears-and-kevin-federline-changed-course) with her ex-husband Kevin Federline over custody issues and how often she’s seeing their shared children. She claimed the matriarch of the family could have gotten a lawyer to help her, and instead, would either “hide” or say “we’re praying for her” but not actually offer any support. Last night, Britney Spears posted and then deleted a twenty-plus minute video in which she talked extensively about her personal life and the time she was under a conservatorship.

Britney Spears discusses her conservatorship in an audio message on Twitter and how she turned down an Oprah Winfrey tell all in a 20 minute voice memo.

She explained that when she was forced to go to a [mental-health facility in 2019](https://www.vulture.com/2019/04/whats-going-on-with-britney-spearss-mental-health-crisis.html), she didn’t have a choice in the matter.

I feel like the scare tactic and how badly they treated me in the end, I think they thought I was gonna come begging back to work. “I have offers to do interviews with Oprah and so many people. She also wrote about her experience [working with Elton John on “Hold Me Closer,”](https://www.vulture.com/2022/08/britney-spears-elton-john-hold-me-closer-tiny-dancer.html) perhaps hinting at a return to music.

Britney Spears uploaded a 20-minute YouTube describing how she felt during her conservatorship, and claiming her mother was involved from the beginning.

Speaking of her time in the facility, Spears claimed that she was forced to give “six vials of blood” every week and work all day without breaks. Spears detailed a time during her Vegas residency when she says she was in a “secret relationship” with a man who “wanted to just leave the country with me and we had it all set up to just leave.” At the time, she said, “My biggest fear was: What would my dad do if I did do something wrong? Spears claimed that she called her father, crying, but all he told her was to listen to the doctors. “I remember everything got really weird and quiet, and all the directors and producers went in the back room and just spoke, and that was it,” she said. [Spears](https://www.thecut.com/2022/01/jamie-lynn-spears-abc-news-interview.html), who continued to post on Twitter after the video was taken down, is now out of her conservatorship, but her court battles continue. “I remember one of the guys was on an interview on the street and he said, you know, ‘I could be totally wrong, and if I’m wrong, I’ll be really embarrassed and I’ll just go have a drink somewhere.’ He said, ‘But I do feel like they’re doing something to her right now, and I’m not really sure what it is, but that’s what my heart says.’” Spears called the #FreeBritney movement “confusing,” because her family didn’t appear to respond or do anything. According to the singer, the facility was forced to let her go after the #FreeBritney movement gained steam. “I literally spoke in a British accent to a doctor to prescribe my medication, and three days later there was a SWAT team in my home,” she said. The singer claimed that when she was first hospitalized by her parents, she was completely sober. She seemed to confirm the rumors that she had been in contact with Oprah Winfrey about an interview, but “getting paid to tell your story — I feel like it’s kind of silly.” She added, “I’m here just to open myself to others and try to shed a light on — if anyone out there has ever gone through hardships or whatever it is — just to put a light on it, and so that person doesn’t feel alone. Spears opened the video saying that she woke up the morning of the recording feeling the need to tell her story. “I haven’t really had any outlet to share completely [and] openly for so long,” she said.

In a since-removed audio message, Spears spoke at length about her family making her feel "not even human"

“To me, it was like they secretly honestly liked me being the bad one—like I was messed up, and they kind of just liked it that way. She recalled being told she was “fat” and made to feel like she was “nothing,” admitting to phoning it in during performances: “I was a robot, honestly. I do feel victimized after these experiences and how can I mend this if I don’t talk about it?” Spears said, revealing that she had kept quiet for so long because of a fear of judgment or others’ disbelief. But no longer: “If you’re a weird introvert oddball like me, who feels alone a lot of the time, and you needed to hear a story like this today so you don’t feel alone, know this: My life has been far from easy, and you’re not alone.” Spears repeated multiple times on the record that she didn’t understand the conservatorship or how she was treated at the hands of her family: “Honestly to this day, I don’t know really what I did. That’s what I felt—I felt like my family threw me away.” I didn’t give a fuck anymore.” She added, “It was demoralizing.

It was pure abuse.” (A 2021 New Yorker kind of silly.” (Forthcoming memoir notwithstanding.) Subsequently, she went through each stage of the conservatorship, claiming that “it was all premeditated”: “A woman introduced the idea to my dad, and my mom actually helped him follow through and made it all happen.

Britney Spears believes her parents, Jamie Spears and Lynne Spears, and an unnamed woman "premeditated" plans to put her in a conservatorship in 2008.

“In fact, Tri Star was not even the business manager for the conservatorship when it was established.” “It was pure abuse, and I haven’t even really shared even half of it.” “I know now it was all premeditated,” she claimed. “Jamie was going to file for the conservatorship on January 22 … “Honestly to this day, I don’t know what, really, I did,” Britney said.

Spears recalled missing out on parties and drinks with friends and having no access to her own money and car keys.
