An emotional Britney Spears celebrated her “best day ever” on Friday which marked the end of her conservatorship.
The 39-year-old singer has spoken out after a judge officially terminated her conservatorship 13 years after she was placed under control following her 2008 mental breakdown.
Britney shared the news on Instagram with a video of her fans popping confetti outside a courthouse in Los Angeles.
She wrote alongside the video: “Good God I love my fans so much it’s crazy !!! I think I’m gonna cry the rest of the day !!!! Best day ever … praise the Lord … can I get an Amen ???? #FreedBritney (sic)”
Britney’s attorney, Mathew Rosengart, told fans outside the courthouse: “What’s next for Britney - and this is the first time that this can be said for about a decade - is up to one person: Britney.”
Her father, Jamie Spears, was suspended as her co-conservator on 29 September.
Judge Brenda Penny was due to rule on whether Britney’s conservatorship should be terminated entirely, and she ruled in favour of the motion, stating: “The conservatorship of the person and estate of Britney Jean Spears is no longer required.”
The judge also said Britney’s current estate conservator, John Zabel, would continue working for the time being to settle ongoing financial concerns related to the case.
