Britney Spears beams in bikini on Hawaii getaway after 'abusive' conservatorship battle is revealed

Britney Spears has been pictured on vacation in Hawaii with boyfriend Sam Asghari, just a day after she begged a Los Angeles judge to free her from her court-ordered conservatorship.

The singer appeared to be in an upbeat mood as she was seen smiling amid controversy over the legal case, that has given father Jamie almost complete control over her life and $60 million fortune for the last 13 years.

Following the shocking court hearing – where Britney revealed for the first time the extent of her misery under the agreement – the pop star jetted off with her boyfriend Sam, 27, posting silly Snapchat videos from a private plane. 

The Toxic singer looked happy and relaxed in a white T-shirt and cut off denim shorts, while her personal trainer beau went shirtless and showed off his sculpted physique. 

Britney has often told fans that Hawaii is one of her most favorite places in the world to vacation, and the destination also came up in her Wednesday hearing – during her passionate 25-minute appeal to Judge Brenda Penny. 

At one point during the hearing, Britney claimed that she would be forced to have meetings with therapists – and if she didn’t comply – they would tell her ‘we can’t let you go to Maui on your vacation.’  

The singer also clearly stated to the judge: ‘I want this conservatorship to end – I truly believe that this conservatorship is abusive.’

‘I want to be able to get married to my boyfriend and have a baby but the conservatorship told me I can’t do that.

‘I have an IUD (intrauterine device) inside me to prevent me from having a baby.

‘I want to go to a doctor and take it out so I can have a baby but they (the conservatorship) told me no.

‘I feel ganged up on and bullied and alone.’

The status hearing did not hear any petitions, meaning that a decision was not asked for. Judge Penny said that she will set a hearing as soon as possible, so that Britney can make her petition.

The last time Spears spoke directly to the judge was in May 2019 but the court was closed to the public and her testimony was sealed.

Details of her mental health have never been disclosed.

Spears began her statement with: ‘I have a lot to say, so bear with me. I don’t think I was heard on any level when I came to court last time.’

Speaking about her prior music and tour commitments, Spears said she ‘is not here to be anyone’s slave.’

Speaking rapidly by audiolink with LA Superior Court – where dozens of fans and supporters gathered outside chanting ‘Free Britney’ and waving placards saying, ‘We Love You Britney’ – Spears launched an extraordinary attack on her father for his actions as her co-conservator.

Her highly-recognizable voice was still girlish, but on Wednesday is was strong, emotional and so rapid-fire that it was tough sometimes to understand her words.

At times she was tripping over her words, as though she could not wait to let out the obvious frustration and anger she feels over the conservatorship that has ‘enslaved’ her for 13 years. 

‘I want changes. I want changes going forward, and I deserve changes,’ she said, at the end of a moving speech to the court.

‘It’s my wish and dream for all of this to end.’

She said: ‘In California, the only similar thing to this is called sex trafficking, making anyone work against their will, taking all their possessions away credit card, cash, phone, passport.

‘The reason I’m telling you this is because I don’t think the state of California can have all this written in the court documents from the time I showed up and do absolutely nothing.’

When a doctor put her on medications, including lithium – she she said made her feel ‘drunk’.

‘My family didn’t do a thing about it. My dad was all for it,’ she said.

When she was put in a $60,000-a-month treatment facility against her will, ‘I cried on the phone to my dad for an hour and he loved every minute of it,’ she said.

She added: ‘My dad and everyone else who has played a key role in my conservatorship should be in jail. They have way too much control.

‘I don’t drink alcohol but I should, considering what they put my heart through.’

Speaking so fast she was asked twice by Judge Penny to slow down, the singer talked of being ‘enslaved’ by her father.

‘He made me feel like death, with the depth of what he did to me.

‘I want to end this conservatorship. I don’t want to be evaluated. I have had enough.

‘I don’t want to be in this stupid conservatorship any more. It’s embarrassing and humiliating.

‘I’m not lying. I just want my life back. It’s been 13 years and it’s enough. I’m done.’

The troubled singer said she was lying when she told people while she was in the mental treatment facility three years ago that she was happy.

‘When I went there they took everything away from me. They watched me change, naked every single day. I sat in a chair for 10 hours a day, seven days a week.

‘I am not happy. I can’t sleep. I’m so angry, It’s insane. I’m scared by people. I don’t trust people.

‘The conservatorship should end. What state allows people to say, ‘You can’t spend your money unless you do as we say.’

Spears also criticized her mother, Lynne, who, she said, went to spas during the pandemic.

‘But I didn’t go to the spa or have my nails done for a year.

‘My mom sees me like my dad does.’

Britney concluded: ‘I should not be in a conservatorship like this if I can work, provide for myself and provide for other people.

‘I am being told I cannot see my money unless I do what they say … and I am paying them.’

As she ended her speech, Britney told the judge: ‘I wish I could stay on the phone to you forever. Because when I go off this phone the ‘nos’ will start again. No no no.’

After her phone tirade which Judge Penny called ‘courageous,’ her attorney, Samuel Ingham told the court that Spears had not asked her to file a motion to end the conservatorship.

‘But my client directs me to file a petition to end the conservatorship, I will do that.’

Ingham – who was appointed by the court – also said he would willingly step aside if Spears wanted to hire her own attorney, as she indicated during her address to the court.

Jamie Spears’ lawyer, Vivian Thoreen – responding to Britney’s attack on her father- told Judge Penny in a two-sentence statement that Jamie ‘is sorry to see his daughter suffering and in so much pain.

She added: ‘Mr Spears loves his daughter and misses her very much.’

Judge Penny said she wanted to schedule a new hearing to finalize next steps.

‘There is no petition before the court. A number of those items that Miss Spears brought before the court, we will be discussing, and they do require petitions,’ said Judge Penny.

Earlier, Spears was almost denied access to her own virtual court hearing on Wednesday, after a court clerk failed to recognize her voice on the phone line.

When she rang in, the court clerk was hesitant to admit her to the proceedings.

Asked to identify herself, the singer replied: ‘Oh, me? Britney Spears.’

Wednesday’s hearing drew a large and colorful crowd outside the courthouse in Los Angeles.

Waving home-made signs and placards, fans of the singer demanded that her freedom be restored.

The #FreeBritney campaign is a grassroots movement started by fans of the singer, who feel that her 13-year-long conservatorship battle should now come to an end – and that Britney should regain autonomy over her life and affairs.
