Britney Spears has confirmed what her fans have been campaigning for all along.
She gave her jaw dropping testimony in court via phone for the first time ever.
Britney says she wants to end the conservatorship she has been under since 2008.
“I am so angry, it’s insane. I’ve lied to the world that I’m happy and OK, it’s a lie. Maybe if I said it enough, I would become it. I am traumatized, fake it to make it. I am not happy. I can’t sleep. I am so angry, it’s insane, I am depressed and I cry every day.”
She wants get married and have a baby with her man Sam Asghari but can’t because she has an IUD and her team will not let her see a doctor.
Spears added that she was forced to take Lithium, a drug that’s usually used as a mood stabilizer to treat manic depression or bipolar disorder.
Britney described the conservatorship as “abusive” and wants it to end without having to undergo an evaluation.
"Basically this conservatorship is doing me way more harm than good. I deserve to have a life. I've worked my whole life. I feel ganged up on, I feel bullied, I feel left out and alone. I'm tired of feeling alone. I deserve to have the same rights as anybody."
In response to her remarks, Vivian Thoreen, an attorney for Jamie Spears told CNN, "Mr. Spears loves his daughter and misses her very much."
The next court hearing is scheduled for July 14.
Several celebrities have come out in support of Britney.
Bless Britney and I hope with my whole heart she is awarded freedom from this abusive system. She deserves it more than anything. I admire her courage speaking up for herself today.

Regardless of our past, good and bad, and no matter how long ago it was… what’s happening to her is just not right.
No woman should ever be restricted from making decisions about her own body.
We love you Britney!!! Stay strong ❤️❤️❤️
