According to Variety, Britney Spears will speak in court at the next conservatorship hearing in June. At a hearing yesterday, Britney requested via her attorney Samuel Ingham to address the court personally at a future hearing. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny granted the pop star's request and scheduled the hearing for June 23rd where she'll be allowed to speak on the “status of the conservatorship.”
Britney's conservatorship began in 2008 and she has remained silent throughout the whole thing, but has expressed through her attorney that she “strongly opposed” her father James “Jamie” Spears serving as her conservator. Back in November, Judge Penny denied Britney's bid to remove her father from the conservatorship, but did approve Britney's request to appoint financial company the Bessemer Trust as a co-conservator. In last month's hearing, Jamie Spears objected to serving as a co-conservator with Bessemer Trust, but Judge Penny denied the objection and upheld her previous November ruling.
The conservatorship has been under further scrutiny following the release of the documentary 'Framing Britney Spears.' Britney responded to the documentary in an Instagram post saying she she hadn't watch the documentary, but was “embarrassed by the light they put me in” and that “I cried for two weeks.” However, fans don't believe she actually wrote that Instagram post. With Britney able to speak at the next conservatorship hearing, we could be one step closer to Free Britney!
