Ep 72: In June 2021, this woman provided the court with an emotional, and indignant 24-minute testimonial outlining the injustice she had endured at the hands of her family, professional team, and the judicial system

This testimony signaled the beginning of the end of the legalized, abusive conservatorship this woman had silently suffered from, in full public view, for more than a decade.

This is The Britney Spears Story.
