The entertainment world can corrupt any artist. That is what the media have led us to believe about the case of Britney Spears, but since the end of 2020, Britney news has filled all newspapers, magazines, blogs, and social networks with the now-famous hashtag #FreeBritney.

"I want my life back.

The story we believed for 13 years

A 17-year-old Louisiana teenager rose to fame in 1999 with the well-known song "Baby One More Time." After this first single, the other hits did not wait, and neither did the persecution of the press and paparazzi. After marriage, two children, a divorce, and a series of events, the artist lost emotional control, consequently, the guardianship of her children and finally her autonomy, since in 2008 The Superior Court of Los Angeles County ceded custody of personal and financial affairs to her father Jamie Spears.

The movement became more potent in 2019 after fans learned the singer was in a supposed psychiatric center. This movement contends that Britney has been abused psychologically and used by her father to earn money and demands that the "Princess of Pop" control her financial affairs and personal life. Apparently, the movement motivated the singer to take strength to return to the courts.

The power of social media has enabled #FreeBritney to have millions of posts on Instagram, Twitter, and other social networks, including the support of various artists such as Cristina Aguilera, Mariah Carey Halsey, Justin Timberlake, and many more.

At the same time, The New York Times, in its television series "the weekly," included the documentary "Framing Britney Spears." In that documentary, we can see the shiny beginnings of Britney and how she was dimmed due to fame and media pressure, which could have contributed to the artist's lack of emotional stability.

We agree that hashtags, news, and documentaries have no legal value for a judge. Still, they manage to divulge the situation, bring unknown conditions to light, and above all, let her know Britney is not alone in her fight.

News doesn't stop

Democratic and Republican congressmen discuss the resolution in the singer's trial.

Also, Britney's lawyer Samuel Ingham, who has been in her case since the beginning, resigned his defense. According to sources from The New Yorker magazine, the lawyer has always been more faithful to the interests of Britney's father than to the singer.

The next July 14 is the next hearing, with a new lawyer and without the presence of the singer.

Let's hope that in this case, whether Britney is released from custody or not, the resolution will be for the emotional and physical good of the singer and that the Media and Social Network understand that artists are human beings who need a private life, respect, and humanity.
