Britney Spears's father suspended from his role as conservator.
Britney Spears has thanked her fans for their support as her conservatorship battle comes to a close.
Members of the #FreeBritney fan movement have campaigned since 2008 against Britany Spear’s father’s conservatorship which has controlled her life and career. Their high profile support is now recognised.
She tweeted: “#FreeBritney movement … I have no words … because of you guys and your constant resilience in freeing me from my conservatorship … my life is now in that direction !!!!! I cried last night for two hours cause my fans are the best and I know it …
“I feel your hearts and you feel mine … that much I know is true !!!!!”
Britney’s father, Jamie Spears held the role since 2008 after Spears suffered a series of mental breakdowns.
He must now turn over documents to John Zabel, a certified public accountant, who will temporarily look after Britney Spear’s financial affairs, a court ruled last week.
Britney told a court on June 23 the conservatorship was “abusive” and she wanted it to end without the need for a medical assessment. Throughout the ordeal she had the support of her fans and the #FreeBritney movement.
Britney also said her father, Jamie, enjoyed controlling her.
