Trafficking Britney Spears | Court Audio Documentary

[Music] i cried on the phone for an hour and he loved every minute of it the control he had over someone as powerful as me as he loved the control to hurt his own daughter one hundred thousand percent he loved it [Music] not only did my family not do a goddamn thing my dad was all for it my whole family did nothing i've done more than enough [Music] it's embarrassing and demoralizing what i've been through and that's the main reason i've never said it openly [Music] pop star britney spears is defending her actions this morning headline of the new york post yesterday brittany tripping outside a new york hotel thursday while holding her eight-month-old son britney spears has upset a lot of mothers in this country starting with the wife of the governor of maryland the people who did this to me should not get away and to be able to walk away so [Music] easily for years nobody believed the free britney movement we were called obsessive outrageous liars conspiracy theorists and told to stay out of britney's business but a crime against one woman is a crime against us all and the free britney movement would not be silenced britney spears has made her come back 100 it's a brady [ __ ] the people's choice for favorite pop artist goes to it's britney spear a 2008 documentary titled brittany for the record was the first time britney was able to speak out against her conservatorship something she said at the time felt worse than jail only a few years after that documentary was released her conservatorship team attempted to have it removed and scrubbed from the internet you can no longer buy it you cannot watch it unless a pirated upload is posted somewhere online and that 2008 documentary was the last time britney spears was able to speak out about her conservatorship for 13 years until now on wednesday june 23rd of 2021 britney spears addressed judge brenda penny via telephone about what was really going on behind the scenes in her conservatorship while her father his attorney britney's mother's attorney and her care manager jody montgomery's attorney listened in nobody knew what she would say and britney's attorney stated he would not interrupt or stop her and what britney had to say shocked the world it was worse than we ever imagined i believe you're on the telephone hi good afternoon your your honor this is miss wright i did want to ask we don't know obviously what miss beers is going to say and we're happy that she's here today to address her concerns with the court but if what she's going to say may impact her medical privacy my client does hold those medical privacy rights and i would ask that we please seal the transcript and clear the courtroom so we can preserve those medical rights i think it's really important and it could be that she brings up issues related to her family and her minor children and they have their own privacy rights and i think anything said about them they've done a good job at exploiting my my life and the way that they've done um my life so i feel like it should be an open court hearing and they should um listen and um hear what i have to say oh okay speaking that was me yes thank you so um um and thank you for um your interest in uh in in appearing on the court today and i i do uh recall the last time that i had a chance to meet you so i'm i'm glad that you're you're back here today as well um you were here i believe in 2019 i believe we were in the court so i'm happy to hear from you miss beers uh so you may feel free to uh to uh address me at this point okay well um i just got a new phone so um bear with me um i uh okay so i have this one down have a lot to say so i'm bear with me and basically a lot has happened since two years ago the last time i wrote all this down um the last time i was in court i will be honest with you i haven't been back to court in a long time because i don't think i was heard on any level when i came to court the last time i brought four sheets of paper in my hands and wrote in length what i had been through the last four months before i came there the people who did that to me should not be able to walk away so easily i'll recap i was on tour in 2018 i was forced to do my management said if i don't do this tour i will have to find an attorney and by contract my own management could sue me if i didn't follow through with the tour he handed me a sheet of paper as i got off the stage in vegas and said i had to sign it it was very threatening and scary and with the conservatorship i couldn't even get my own attorney so out of fear i went ahead and i did the tour when i came off that tour a new show in las vegas was supposed to take place i started rehearsing early but it was hard because i'd been doing vegas for four years and i needed a break in between but no i was told this is the timeline and this is how it's gonna go i rehearsed four to four days a week um half of the time in the studio and a half of the other time in a westlake studio i was basically directing most of the show with my whereabouts where i preferred to rehearse and actually did most of the choreography meaning i taught my dancers my new choreography myself i take everything i do very seriously there's tons of video with me at rehearsals i wasn't good i was great i let a room of 16 new dancers in rehearsals it's funny to hear my manager's side of the story they all said i wasn't participating in rehearsals and i never agreed to take my medication which my medication is only taken in the mornings never at rehearsal they don't even see me so why are they even claiming that when i said no to one dance move into rehearsals um it was as if i planted a huge bomb um somewhere and i said no i don't want to do it this way after that my management and my dancers and my assistant of the new people that were supposed to do the new show all went into a room shut the door and didn't come out for at least 45 minutes ma'am i'm not here to be anyone slave i can say no to a dance move i was told by my at the time therapist dr benson who died that my manager called him and then that moment and told him i wasn't cooperating or following the guidelines and rehearsals and he also said i wasn't taking my medication which is so dumb because i've had the same lady every morning for the past eight years give me my same medication and i'm nowhere near these stupid people it made no sense at all three days later after i said no to vegas my therapist sat me down in a room and said he had a million phone calls about how i was not cooperating in rehearsals and i haven't been taking my medication all of this was a false he uh he immediately the next day put me on lithium out of nowhere he took me off my normal meds i'd been on for five years and lithium is a very very strong um and completely different medication compared to what i was used to you can go mentally impaired if you take too much if you stay on it longer than five months but he put me on that and i felt drunk i really couldn't even take up for myself i couldn't even have a conversation with my mom or dad really about anything i told him i was scared and my doctor had me on six different nurses with this new medication come to my home stay with me to monitor me on this new medication which i never wanted to be on to begin with there were six different nurses in my homes and they wouldn't let me get in my car to go anywhere for for a month not only did my family not do a goddamn thing my dad was all for it anything that happened to me had to be approved by my dad and my dad only he acted like he didn't know that i was told i had to be tested over the christmas holidays before they sent me away when my kids went home to louisiana he was the one who approved all of it my whole family did nothing over the two-week holiday a lady came into my home for four hours a day sat me down and did a psych test on me it took forever but i was i was told i had to then after that i got off oh um wait i was told i had to then after i got a phone call from my dad saying after i did the site test with this lady basically saying i had failed the test or whatever and whatever um i'm sorry britney you have to listen to your doctors they are planning to send you to a small home in beverly hills to do a small rehab program that we're going to make up for you you're going to pay 60 000 a month for this i cried on the phone for an hour and he loved every minute of it the control he had over someone as powerful as me as he loved the control to hurt his own daughter one hundred thousand percent he loved it i packed my bags and went to that place i worked seven days a week no days off which in california the only similar thing to this is called sex trafficking making anyone work work against their wheel taking all their possessions away credit card cash phone passport card and placing them in a home where they they work with the people who live with them they offer they all lived in the house with me the nurses the 24 7 security um there there was one chef that came there and cooked for me um daily on the during the weekdays they watched me changed every day naked morning noon and night um my body i had no privacy door for my um for my room i gave eight gals of blood a week if i didn't do any of my meetings and work from 10 um eight to six at night which is ten hours a day seven days a week no days off i wouldn't be able to see my kids or my boyfriend i never had a say in my schedule they always told me i had to do this and ma'am i will tell you sitting in a chair ten hours a day seven days a week it ain't fun and especially when you can't walk out the front door and that's why i'm telling you this again two years later after i've lied and told the whole world i'm okay and i'm happy it's a lie i thought i just maybe i said that enough maybe i might become happy because i've been in denial i've been in shock i am traumatized you know fake it till you make it but now i'm telling you the truth okay i'm not happy i can't sleep i'm so angry it's insane and i'm depressed i cry every day and the reason i'm telling you this is because i don't think how the state of california can have all this written in the court documents from the time i showed up and do absolutely nothing just hire with my money another person to keep and keep my dad on board ma'am my dad and anyone involved in this conservatorship and my management who played a huge and punishing at me when i said no ma'am they should be in jail they're cool tactics working for miley cyrus as she smokes on joints and stage at the vmas nothing has ever done to this generation for doing wrong things but my precious body who's worked for my dad for the past [ __ ] 13 years trying to be so good and pretty so perfect when he works me so hard when i do everything i'm told in the state of california allowed my father ignorant father to take his own daughter who only has a role with me if i work with him they said back the whole course and allowed him to do that to me that's given these people i've worked for way too much control they also threatened me and said if i don't go then i have to go to court and it will be more embarrassing me if the judge publicly makes you go the evidence we have you have to go i was advised for my image i need to go ahead and just go and get it over with they said that to me i don't i don't even drink alcohol i should drink alcohol considering what they put my heart through i don't know who you are i don't know what you want but what i do have are a very particular set of skills skills i've acquired over a very long career skills that make me a nightmare for people like you the united states considers human trafficking and modern slavery to be interchangeable umbrella terms that refer to both sex and labor trafficking the u.s department of state has classified trafficking as a global threat yet only 34 states have something known as safe harbor laws to protect juveniles safe harbor laws are meant to prevent child sex trafficking victims from being prosecuted for commercial sex yes this means trafficked victims can be prosecuted in some u.s states that do not have safe harbor laws this happened in 2016 to an 18 year old who was trafficked with a 15 year old in texas though both teens were being forced and trafficked by their pimp according to the texas tribune dallas prosecutors implicated the older teen for giving the younger one her cell phone and for appearing in online ads with her one in four victims of modern slavery are children other forms of trafficking occur when men and women are exploited in the private sector such as through domestic work construction or agriculture women and girls are affected by forced labor accounting for 99 percent of victims in the commercial sex industry and 58 in other sectors but as britney spears has now told the world exploitation can happen to anyone in any socioeconomic status how come i was always threatened by my dad and anybody that participated in this conservatorship if i don't do this what they tell me to enslave me to do they're going to punish me the last time i spoke to you by just keeping the conversation the server should go and also keeping my dad in the loop made me feel like i was dead like i didn't matter like nothing had been done to to me like you thought i was lying or something i'm telling you again because i'm not lying i want to feel hurt and i'm telling you this again so maybe you can understand the depth and the degree and the damage that they did to me back then i want changes and i want changes going forward i deserve changes i was told i have to sit down and be evaluated again if i want to end the conservatorship ma'am i didn't know i could petition the conservatorship to end it i'm sorry for my ignorance but i honestly didn't know that but honestly but i don't think i owe anyone to be evaluated i've done more than enough i don't feel like i should even be in room with anyone to offend me by trying to question my capacity of intelligence whether i need to be in this stupid conservatorship or not i've done more than enough i don't owe these people anything especially me the one that has roofed and fed tons of people on tour on the road it's embarrassing and demoralizing what i've been through and that's the main reason i've never said it openly and mainly i didn't want to say it openly because i honestly didn't think anyone would believe me to be honest with you the paris hilton story on what they did to her to that that school i didn't believe any of it of it i'm sorry i'm an outsourcer and i'll just be honest i didn't believe it and maybe i'm wrong and that's why i didn't want to say any of this to anybody to the public because people would make fun of me or laugh at me and say she's lying she's got everything she's britney spears i'm not lying i just want my life back and it's been 13 years and it's enough britney has spent millions of dollars against her will due to having no control over her finances in the conservatorship brittany's father jamie spears has paid himself sixteen thousand dollars a month as brittany's conservator plus two thousand dollars per month for office space rent he was also approved to receive a percentage of various deals signed for his daughter this creates a conflict of interest but under conservatorship laws it's actually seen as legal in many cases brittany also has to pay for her legal team as well as the legal team for jamie spears who fights annually to continue the conservatorship indefinitely in 2020 brittany's lawyer filed a complaint about the way jamie spears was handling britney's money stating he paid over 300 thousand dollars in fees to her then business manager lou taylor jamie spears attorney recently charged britney's estate with a bill for 890 000 for four months of work work that included media strategizing for jamie to defend the conservatorship not many people would bring their dad on the road with them but i love it he's gonna be honest with me and i need that but he just loves me i mean i'm his little girl and we have a lot of fun together it's unclear how much britney's mother lin spears has received from brittany but in 2018 the bbc reported that britney's sister jaime lynn spears was appointed as trustee of brittany's estate jamie lynn then petitioned the court for control of money stored in a trust fund for brittany's children according to legal documents jamie brittany's father is the sole beneficiary of brittany's trust not brittany's two children according to those same documents if britney were to pass away her sister jamie lynn will receive quote the entire principle of the trust including all accused and undistributed and unrealized income unquote hey get out of her face i mean now [Music] some people believe jamie has his daughter's best interests at heart and that is the reason britney has done so well for herself but others disagree including spears's own family members on an instagram live in 2020 britney spears's son jaden said his grandpa jamie is a quote jerk and it was only one year before that kevin fetterline filed a police report against jamie spears after a fight involving the couple's 13 year old son the report stated quote britney had the boys at jamie's condo on the evening of august 24th jaime and sean preston got into an argument sean preston fell unsafe and locked himself into a room the court granted federline a restraining order and jamie spears is not allowed to come near his two grandsons for three years the conditions also state that an adult federal line approves of must be present whenever preston and jaden are with brittany but it can't be jamie this show has been very good to me and my career over the years so i'm hoping that it will be ut man [Applause] and i'm hoping that it will be as good to our next performer he chose the show to make the world premiere performance of his new single lose control please give a warm welcome to my man kevin fetterline kevin federline has 70 custody of their two sons which he was awarded in 2008 after brittany was hospitalized for a psychiatric evaluation i mean you were making money but it it wasn't like you had a nine-to-five job like it was the money was coming in in gigs yeah i mean well i mean the thing is is with like entertainment industry you know you're getting residuals all over the place for sag jobs movies that you've done commercials you know so even when work's not steady you're you're still bringing in good money i mean as long as you know if you're shooting two or three commercials a year even if you're not like a principal in that commercial you're still making a pretty damn good living off okay so you were okay financially yeah and i mean i i have had like a pretty good up upbringing from from my parents you know so i've known like who i was and how i'd be as a father before i was ever a father i knew that if i had a child when i was younger then that would be okay sure you know i mean financial things are are you know it's a necessity to have some food on the table and a roof over your head but other than that like you just give your kid love man and it's yeah everything will be okay i feel you hopefully in 2018 federer line took brittany back to court in a child support battle federline was receiving ten thousand dollars per child a month as well as having britney pay their children's tuition and school costs clothing extracurricular activities and other expenses that amounted to nearly 35 thousand dollars per month according to tmz but federline complained to the court that the life he provided for the boys paled in comparison to their rich mother according to business insider federer line asked the court to grant him a child support payment of sixty thousand dollars per month according to court documents federline stated quote my income has significantly changed since the child support was last modified in approximately 2008 because i no longer earn a six-figure income like i did in 2008. i am no longer able to perform as a dancer due to my age and i have not been as successful in putting out new music as i was in 2008. i am simply less of a name and less in demand than i was in 2008 which has negatively affected my income unquote kevin fetterline released one song in 2016 titled hollywood that never made it on the charts and according to court documents he works as a dj earning three thousand dollars a month brittany is not allowed to have her credit cards and is provided with an allowance of two thousand dollars a week her conservator denied her request to get her kitchen cabinets repainted um i'd like for my boyfriend to be able to drive me in his car um and i want to meet with a therapist once a week not twice a week and i want him to come to my home because i actually know i do need a little therapy oh and i would like to progressively move forward and i want to have the real deal i want to be able to get married and have a baby i was told right now on the conservatorship i'm not able to get married or have a baby i have a um id inside of myself right now so i don't get pregnant i wanted to take the id out so i could start trying to have another baby but this so-called team won't let me go to the doctor to take it out because they they don't want me to have children any more children it's been a long time since i've owned my money and it's my wish and my dream for all of this to end without being tested again it makes no sense whatsoever for the state of california to sit back and literally watch me with their own two eyes make a living for so many people and pay so many people trucks and buses on the road with me and be told i'm not good enough but i'm great at what i do and i allow these people to control what i do ma'am and it's enough it makes no sense at all now going forward i'm not willing to meet or see anyone i've met with enough people against my will i'm done all i want is to own my money for this to end and my boyfriend um to drive me in his [ __ ] car and i would honestly like to sue my family to be totally honest with you um i also would like to be able to short share my story with the world and um what they did to me instead of it being a hush-hush secret to benefit all of them i want to be able to be heard on what they did to me by making me keep this in for so long is not good for my heart i've been so angry and i cry every day it concerns me i'm told i'm not allowed to expose the people who did this to me for my sanity i need you to the judge to approve me do it do an interview where i can be heard on what they did to me and actually i have the right to use my voice and take up for myself my attorney says i can't um it's not good i can't let the public know anything they did to me and by not saying anything is saying it's okay i don't know what i said here it's not okay i would actually i don't want to interview i'd much rather just have an open call to you for the press to hear which i didn't know today we're doing so thank you even my family they do interviews to anyone they want on news stations my own family doing interviews and talking about the situation and making me feel so stupid and i can't say one thing and my own people say i can't say anything it's been two years i want a recorded call to you actually we're doing this now which i didn't know that we were doing this um to the public i say knows what they did me i told my um i know my lawyer sam has been very scared for me to go forward because he's saying if i speak up i'm being overworked in that facility of that rehab place that the rehab place will see me he told me i should keep it to myself really i would like to um also um the main reason why i'm here is because i want to end the conservatorship without having to be evaluated i've done a lot of research ma'am and there's a lot of judges who do in conservatorships for people without them having to be evaluated all the time the only times they don't is if this concerned family member says something's wrong with this person and consider um in other otherwise and considering my family has lived off my conservatorship for 13 years i won't be surprised if one of them has has something to say and go forward and say we don't think this should end we have to help her especially if i get my fair serve and turning exposing what they did to me in 2007 after brittany failed to produce a california driver's license and allegedly missed a drug and alcohol test but missing a drug and alcohol test or losing custody of your children isn't necessarily enough to put somebody in a conservatorship and many people wondered how jamie spears was able to gain control of his superstar daughter it was later uncovered that in 2008 jamie spears filed to obtain a conservatorship over britney citing a mental health crisis at the time a doctor who was not chosen by brittany diagnosed her with dementia this was one of the reasons used as well as the outlandish media exploitation and losing custody of her children to petition for a conservatorship according to the mayo clinic symptoms of dementia include memory loss difficulty communicating or finding words difficulty with visual abilities difficulty handling complex tasks difficulty planning and organizing and difficulty with coordination and motor functions the most diagnosed age group are those between the ages of 65 and 90 years old brittany is 39. excuse me for interrupting but my reporter says if you could just slow down a little bit because she's trying to make sure she gets everything that you're saying okay cool okay um i have been through and the clever stuff in west lake is identical to dr benson who died the one who illegally yes 100 abused me by the treatment he gave me and to be totally honest with you when he passed away i got on my knees and thank god in other words my team is pushing with pushing it with me again i have trapped phobias being in small rooms because the trauma locking me up and for four months in that place is not okay for them to send me to that small room like that twice a week with another new therapist i pay that i never even approved i don't like it i don't want to do that and i haven't done anything wrong to deserve this treatment it's not okay to force me to do anything i don't want to do by law and by law jody and this so-called team should honestly i should be able to sue them for threatening me and saying if i don't go and do these meetings twice a week we can't let you have your money and go to maui on your vacations you have to do what you're told for this program and then you will be able to go the conservation conservatorship from the beginning once you see someone whoever it is in the conservatorship making money making them money and myself money and working that whole that whole statement right there the conservatorship should end there should be no i shouldn't be on in a conservatorship if i can work and provide money and work for myself and pay other people it makes no sense the laws need to change what state allows people to own another person's money and account and threaten them in saying you can't spend your money unless you do what we want you to do and i'm paying them ma'am i've worked since i was 17 years old you have to understand how thin that is for me every morning i get up to know i can't go on somewhere unless i meet people i don't know every week in an office identical to the one where the therapist was very abusive to me i truly believe this conservatorship is abusive and though we can sit here all day and say oh conservatorships are here to help people but ma'am there's a thousand conservatorships that are abusive as well i don't feel like i can have live a full life in the meantime i want this therapist um once a week he can either come to my home um no i just want him to come to my home i'm not willing to go to west lake and be embarrassed by all these paparazzi this scummy paparazzi laughing at my faces while i'm crying coming out and taking my pictures as all these um white nice dinners were people drinking wine at restaurants watching these places they set me up by sending me to the most exposed places places and i told them i didn't want to go there because i knew paparazzi would show up there they only gave me two options for therapists and i'm not sure how you make your decisions ma'am but this is the only chance for me to talk to you for a while i need your your help so if you can just kind of let me know where your head is i don't really honestly know what to say but my requests are just in the conservatorship without being evaluated i want a petition basically to end the conservatorship but i want to i want it to be petitioned i don't want to be evaluated to be sat in a room with people four hours a day like they did me before and they made it even worse for me after that happened so i just i i'm honestly new at this and i'm doing research on all these things i do know common sense and the method that things can end it for people it has ended without them being evaluated so i just want you to take that inconsiderate consideration also took a year during cova to get me any self-care methods during coven she said there were no services available she's lying mom ma'am my mom went to the spa twice in louisiana during coven for a year i didn't have my nails done no hair styling and no massages no acupuncture nothing for a year i saw the maids in my home each week with their nails done different each time she made me feel like my dad does very similar her behavior and my dad but just a different dynamic team wants me to work and stay home instead of having longer vacations they're they you they are used to me sort of doing a weekly routine for them and i'm over it i don't feel like i owe them anything at this point they need to be reminded they actually work for me also i'm supposed to be able to have a friend that i used to do a meetings with i did a for two years i have like you know um i did three meetings a week you know i met a bunch of women there and i'm not able to see my friends that live eight minutes away from me which i find extremely strange um i feel like they're making me feel like i live in a rehab program this is my home so basically this conservatorship is doing me way more harm than good um i won't i deserve to have a life i've worked my whole life i deserve to have a two to three year break and just you know do what i want to do um but i do feel like um there is a crutch here and i feel like um i feel open and i'm okay to talk to you today about it but i i wish i could stay with you on the phone forever because when i get off the phone with you all of a sudden all of i hear i hear all these no's no no no and then all of a sudden i get i feel ganged up on and i feel bullied and i feel left out and alone and i'm tired of feeling alone i deserve to have the same rights as anybody does by having a child a family any of those things and more so um and that's all i wanted to say to you and thank you so much for letting me speak to you today oh miss pierce you're quite welcome and also i just want to tell you that i certainly um insensitive to everything that you said and how you're feeling and i know that it took a lot of courage for you to say everything you have to say today and i want to let you know that the court does appreciate um you are coming on the line and sharing how you're feeling okay well thank you so much for um you know giving me this opportunity thank you thank you your honor this is miss right um we certainly do have a different perspective on many of the issues and facts raised by miss spears but i don't think today is the appropriate form forum to air those out i do love this idea of a care plan we are more than happy to put one together my client works with the medical team a very highly qualified qualified and vetted medical professionals any decisions she makes is with their input and their recommendations and so we certainly have those ready we can put them into a care plan my only concern is as we go into these in more detail i am very concerned with ms beer's medical privacy and i don't think the details of her care plan and the progress she's been making and her conditions should be in the public forum so i would just ask that when we file the care plan we obviously will provide it to everyone who is a party on this case but i think it should be sealed from the public i don't think this is the best way to vet out a conservative's mental health issues and her care plan is just not the way to do it i think we should do it under seal and that would be my request for that care plan happy to file it and happy to have a hearing on it well if you want to file a motion um prior to the hearing on that that certainly is your right to do that sure we'll just have to talk about timing to accommodate that motion and then the filing of the care plan sure um but uh i just appreciate um the spirit um you know it it takes a lot of time but i have to be an agreement to this care plan i can't be forced to do what i don't want to do okay and i think that um there's there's a way to try to it's you know the uh and ma'am and honestly between you i mean there's nothing i don't mind doing therapy twice a week it's the way that they they exposed me in that place and and one where paparazzi are loaded there and i never can i drive a lot but i never get out of my car and so all i want it's very simple i would just like someone this man to come to my house twice a week and that's it that's it i'm not asking for you know badai central from italy to come and visit me for therapy i just want a man to come here twice a week and do the therapy thing that's that's what i want to do so that's my i just want you to know my request okay thank you i appreciate that [Music] so [Music] the next steps for brittany are to file a petition with the court to end her conservatorship then a court date will be given according to a los angeles-based attorney named mina surkin brittany will have to show proof she has regained her capacity to not need a conservatorship while her conservators jamie spears and jody montgomery can also present evidence and witnesses of their own brittany does have the right to ask for a jury trial so a panel of peers can decide her fate now we wait in hopes britney spears will be free at last
