Britney Spears Exploitation: 13 year Conservatorship Kept Working, Medicated Created $600 Million Dollars
BRITNEY SPEARS SUFFERED FROM BIPOLAR DISORDER UNFORTUNATELY HER EPISODES WERE SO PUBLIC THAT SHE WOUND UP IN A 13 YEAR CONSERVATORSHIP.

The 13-year conservatorship that enslaved Britney Spears did not heal her; it merely compelled her to perform through 13 profoundly lonely years. Far from addressing her mental health struggles, the arrangement healed almost nothing of her underlying illness while keeping her trapped in a system that extracted over $600 million in earnings.
Many have said that the word “enslaved” is too harsh but it’s the absolute truth. “Enslaved” captures the definition of what happened to her: she was legally stripped of rights, medicated against her will, forced to work, and profited from—a modern form of indentured servitude. Her own words in court: “I was told I had to work… I felt like a slave.”
The table below integrates the 13-year conservatorship (Feb 1, 2008 – Nov 12, 2021) as a central, continuous thread. During this period, Britney was legally incarcerated in her own life—confined by round-the-clock bodyguards, forced onto psychiatric medications (including lithium against her will), and ordered to generate hundreds of millions in revenue through albums, world tours, a four-year Las Vegas residency (Piece of Me, 2013–2017), TV judging (X Factor, 2012), and merchandise—while having zero control over her finances, medical decisions, or basic autonomy (e.g., she could not remove an IUD to have another child).
| Year | Key Events, Unusual Behaviors, and Conservatorship Exploitation Details |
|---|---|
| 2000–2006 | (Same as previous timeline: early anxiety, panic attacks, postpartum depression, custody battles, erratic driving, failed drug tests, quickie marriage, no-shows for court-ordered tests.) |
| 2007 | Public meltdown peaks: head-shaving, umbrella attack, custody loss, rehab exits. No conservatorship yet—these were the justifications later used to strip her of rights. |
| 2008 | Feb 1: Conservatorship begins. • Father Jamie Spears + attorney Andrew Wallet granted total control over person and $400M+ estate. • Britney placed on two 5150 holds; emerges medicated and silent. • Forced to record Circus album (released Nov 2008) and launch world tour (2009) while under lockdown. • Bodyguards monitor bathroom use; phones tapped; no unsupervised visits with sons. • For the Record doc: “I feel like I’m in Groundhog Day… I have no rights.” |
| 2009–2012 | Stabilization = Exploitation. • Releases Circus (2008), Femme Fatale (2011); tours globally. • $68M+ earned from Femme Fatale tour alone—all funneled to conservators. • 2011: Forced to testify she’s “mentally unfit” to regain any visitation with kids. • Meds: Lithium, antipsychotics—no right to refuse. • Bodyguards: 24/7 surveillance; one testified (2021) they hid her phone and controlled who she saw. |
| 2013–2017 | Las Vegas Residency (Piece of Me) • 248 shows, 4 years, $138M gross—highest-grossing residency in Vegas history. • Worked 4–5 nights/week while on lithium (causes tremors, memory loss, kidney damage). • Conservators took 7–10% management cut + expenses (private jets, security billed to her). • 2016: Glory album—last creative output under conservatorship. |
| 2018 | Final public performance (Oct 2018). Conservators refuse retirement; plan Domination residency (canceled 2019 after she refuses). |
| 2019 | Jan: Canceled Domination residency after Jamie’s near-fatal colon rupture. • April 3: “Voluntary” 30-day facility stay—court docs later reveal Jamie threatened to take kids if she didn’t comply. • Forced lithium switch (from milder meds); she testified: “I felt drunk… couldn’t have a conversation.” • #FreeBritney begins after podcast exposes contradictions. |
| 2020 | Aug: Britney files to remove Jamie—court denies, extends to 2021. • Conservator bills $600K+ in legal fees against her estate to fight her own petition. |
| 2021 | June 23 testimony: “They’ve done a good job exploiting my life… I want to sue MARY SUE my own IUD out.” • Sep 29: Jamie suspended. • Nov 12: Conservatorship TERMINATED. • Accountant: $600M+ earned under conservatorship; Britney saw ~$6K/week allowance. |
