Spears’ conservatory, which she testified was “abusive” nearly two years ago, was terminated in late 2021, after being placed following a mental health crisis in 2008.

At the time, Spears’ lawyer Mathew Rosengart stated, “What’s next for Britney is up to one person – and this is the first time we can say this in a decade – it’s up to Britney.”

Since then, Britney has been outspoken about her abuse at the hands of her father and others while at conservatory.

The music artist said she was forced to work against her will, in addition to spending an excessive amount of time in a mental health facility.

Details of the controversial relationships between Britney, mother Lynn Spears and sister Jamie-Lynn Spears have hit social media on several occasions.

In February, it was shared with People that Spears’s “inner circle” had to cancel a scheduled intervention for her,” though it was noted that she did see a doctor.

“Britney has become increasingly erratic and those around her have become more concerned,” said a person close to Spears. “She is often up all night, sleeping during [the] day and has much anger.’

It was also reported that things were “really difficult” and “chaotic” when the entertainer was urged to get help.

“Everyone had hoped that Britney could be convinced to get treatment before things got worse, but they knew it wouldn’t be easy,” the person said, adding, “She’s been through a lot and has become more and more combative. ‘

Last month, Spears and husband Sam Asghari were rumored to be going through marital problems when they were each pictured without their wedding rings.
