Britney Spears shares new allegations about conservatorship: 'My ... (The Guardian)

Singer says the 'extent of my madness' was 'playing chase with paparazzi' and claims the conservatorship was 'all premeditated'

“Finally, I think they just knew I wasn’t going back.” Prayer and being able to hire her own lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, helped her through it, she said. Under the terms of the conservatorship, she wasn’t allowed to get married or manage her own birth control, she told the court. “I have an amazing song right now with one of the most brilliant men of our time, and I’m so grateful. But it was really tricky because I just had to play this role that everything was OK all the time and I had to go along with it because I knew they could hurt me.” She claimed that the noise made by the growing #FreeBritney movement meant that the facility’s owner had to let her out. I was told I was fat every day, I had to go to the gym … “Why have therapy when it’s forced and in a militant, almost prison-like way?” At one rehearsal, as she previously alleged in her June 2021 testimony at a court hearing on the conservatorship, she refused to accept some new choreography. However, she claimed she was then forced to go on tour. “All I remember is that I had to do what I was told. It was pure abuse and I haven’t even really shared even half of it,” said Spears. “They threw me away – that’s what I felt like, my family threw me away,” she said.

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.

I had to do what I was told. ‘And I went along with it because I was scared. I had to go to the gym… I was scared and fearful. I was told I was fat every day. I know now it was all premeditated. It was pure abuse. ‘It was all basically set up. I feel like it’s kind of silly. I don’t want any of it. “There were over 200 paparazzi outside my house videotaping me through a window of an ambulance, holding me down on a gurney. For me, it’s beyond a sit-down, proper interview.’

Britney Spears reveals she 'wanted to scream' in 'militant' treatment ... (woman&home)

In a now-deleted audio clip, Britney Spears has claimed that her father, Jamie, threatened her with legal action if she didn't go to rehab.

The Grammy award winner went on to list numerous examples of the mistreatment she endured during her conservatorship, which ended in November 2021 after a lengthy court battle and the fan-led campaign, Free Britney. Hailing from the lovely city of Dublin, she mainly covers the Royal Family and the entertainment world, as well as the occasional health and wellness feature. "My heart felt like it was frozen," she said, recalling how she felt when she first arrived at the rehab facility. The 40-year-old said that she was forced to check into a 'militant' rehab facility in early 2019, where she had 'six gallons of blood' drawn every week. "It didn't make sense," she added. "I honestly still to this day don't know what really I did [to be sent to rehab]," she recalls.

24 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart, which is something of a blend of the other two pop radio lists. Over on the Adult Contemporary radio chart, “Hold Me Closer” also lands the top debut, as it comes in at No. It is one of only two new arrivals on the tally, and it’s off to a fantastic start, as it is already inside the upper half of the list. Spears was credited on a cut by ALTEGO which melded Ginuwine’s “Pony” with her “Toxic,” and which climbed to No. In about a week, Billboard should announce where “Hold Me Closer” debuts on the Hot 100 and various other charts, but for the moment, it’s new to three radio-focused tallies, which operate on a different timetable than all other lists. On Friday (August 26), the pop superstar joined Elton John on the collaborative “Hold Me Closer,” which is already trending toward becoming a huge hit in a number of nations.

'Iconic and Amazing': Inside Britney Spears' Comeback Duet With ... (Rolling Stone)

Andrew Watt, who produced the Britney Spears and Elton John duet "Hold Me Closer," explains how the song came together.

“She was so free and improv-ing over it,” he says. “She was like, ‘OK, where do I go to record?'” he says. John added new piano lines, including a bit of Rhodes — duetting with himself, half a century apart — and played around with the verses to “The One” with a new melody. Ultimately, Watt was excited to hear her falsetto on the song, which he likens to her singing on “Toxic,” and the way her voice harmonized with John’s. And it was really awesome to witness and see her be so powerful and crush it. “She wanted to speed up the record a little bit, and we did that. “She knew exactly what she wanted to do,” he says. “Elton reached out, and she loved the idea and wanted to do it.” The producer — who first met John in 2019 when working on the Ozzy Osbourne song “Ordinary Man,” which featured the two singers together — had originally picked “Tiny Dancer” “not only [because it’s] one of my favorite songs of all time but one of the greatest recordings/songs/ballads literally ever.” But he mostly wanted to listen to the original multi-tracks. John had met Spears at the 2014 Oscars viewing party for his AIDS foundation, and she had [tweeted the following year](https://twitter.com/britneyspears/status/657026334988697600) about her love of “Tiny Dancer.” “I was just like, ‘If this sucks, no one will ever have to hear it,'” he says, chuckling. On the song, John and Spears sing the verses to John’s 1992 single, “The One,” octaves apart, as an elastic guitar line stretches around the vocals and enfolds them. It’s a feel-good moment thanks to Spears’ trademark adlibs (a “baby” here and there) and melismatic melodies.

And I went along with it because I was scared and fearful.” “All I do remember is I had to do what I was told. “I was a fucking machine. “The main thing I do remember when I first started was my dad’s control. The singer publicly testified that under the conservatorship, she was forced to have an IUD in order to prevent her from having more children and wasn’t allowed to get married, among other claims.

Currently slated to enter at Number 3, Hold Me Closer could be Britney’s highest-charting hit since Scream & Shout reached Number 1 in 2012 and Elton’s fourth consecutive single to peak inside the Top 10 too. David Guetta and Bebe Rexha set TikTok alight with a scrapped demo for a song that sampled Eiffel 65’s iconic dance track Blue (Da Ba Dee). As it currently stands, just 1,200 chart units separate Afraid To Feel (1), B.O.T.A (2) and Hold Me Closer (3) - it’s all to play for in the second half of the week as Elton & Britney storm ahead as the highest new entry and the UK’s most downloaded track of the week so far, while LF System’s reigning Number 1 is the one to beat on streams.
