The ladies discuss whether the court should #FreeBritney and put an end to the conservatorship that has given her father, Jamie Spears, a licensed conservator, and a financial company control over her finances, career, medical care, and other aspects of her personal life for the last 13 years, after Britney Spears tells a judge that she has been drugged, forced to perform against her will, and prevented from marrying or having children by the “abusive” and traumatising arrangement.
