The conservatorship, which ended in November 2021, was imposed by Britney Spears' father in 2008, granting him and attorney Andrew Wallet control over her assets.

Since its termination, Spears has spoken candidly about its profound impact on her physical and mental health.

Her experiences even caused tension with her sons, Jayden and Sean Preston, particularly after Jayden defended his grandfather in 2022, saying he “was just trying to be a father.”
