Britney Spears didn’t always have an easy time maintaining friendships under the strict rules of her conservatorship.
“People don’t know this, but when I did Vegas, I was never allowed to go to the spa,” the singer wrote via Instagram in January 2022. “They didn’t want me having coffee or tea, so my friends from home would show up going to the spas drinking champagne no lie and I was the loser working and entertaining them at night … doesn’t sound like a good deal to me either !!!!”
Spears was placed under a conservatorship in 2008 after a series of public struggles amid her divorce from Kevin Federline. For 13 years, her father, Jamie Spears, was in charge of her life, both personally and professionally, In the New York Times’ documentary Framing Britney Spears, the “Toxic” singer’s former assistant Felicia Culotta alleged that she and many others who were once close to the star had been pushed out of her life by her father and management team. Culotta later revealed that she no longer has any way to contact Britney.
Once the conservatorship was lifted in November 2021, the Grammy winnercontinuously took to social media to publicly slam all of the people who she felt didn’t stand up for her over the years — including her mom, Lynne Spears, and younger sister Jamie Lynn Spears.
