Britney Spears testifies that conservators kept her from having a baby: ‘I have an IUD in my body’

Pop star Britney Spears says the team managing her decades-long financial and personal conservatorship used an IUD to prevent her from having more children, she testified in a courtroom in Los Angeles on Wednesday. The comments are the first breaking the long public silence about the 2008 stewardship arrangement which she now calls “slave” labour.

“I have an IUD in my body right now that won’t let me have a baby and my conservators won’t let me go to the doctor to take it out,” she told the court. “I feel ganged up on. I feel bullied and I feel left out and alone.”

“I want to be able to get married and have a baby,” she added.

Since 2008, Ms Spears’s personal and business affairs have been controlled by a conservatorship agreement set up following a public mental breakdown that became a paparazzi sensation. Her father, Jamie Spears, has been in control of the agreement since, ceding partial control in 2019 to an attorney and a trust group.

During the hearing on Wednesday, Ms Spears made her first public comments on the matter since a number of damning documentaries about the conservatorship came out earlier this year, including The New York Times’s ‘Framing Britney Spears.’

“I am not happy, I can’t sleep. I’m so angry, it’s insane. And I’m depressed,” she told the court. “My dad and anyone involved in this conservatorship, including my management … they should be in jail.”

Her father responded to the claims, telling the court in a statement he was “sorry” to hear how she was suffering.

”He is sorry to see is daughter suffering and in so much pain,” the statement reads. “Mr Spears loves his daughter very much.”
