Free Britney, Jail Bannon
I assume that some of you would like to discuss the fact that we’re batting .500 on this:
A petition to terminate Britney Spears’s conservatorship was approved, ending a 13-year legal arrangement ruling her life and her finances that she alleges has been abusive.
The decision by Judge Brenda Penny in Los Angeles Superior Court Friday enables the 39-year-old pop star to regain control over her health, work and $60 million estate.
“What’s next for Britney—and this is the first time this could be said for about a decade—is up to one person: Britney,” Ms. Spears’s attorney, Mathew Rosengart of Greenberg Traurig LLP, said at a press conference outside the courthouse Friday.
After the hearing, roars from Ms. Spears’s fans could be heard blocks away. When asked if Ms. Spears would return to performing, Mr. Rosengart said, “She will if she wants to.”
“Good God I love my fans so much it’s crazy,” Ms. Spears posted to social media with a video of her fans throwing glittering pink confetti outside the courthouse. “Best day ever,” she wrote, using the hashtag #FreedBritney.
