Britney Spears' "Free" Efforts With #FreeBritney

JAKARTA - The name Britney Spears is back, but not because of her work. Now her condition is far different from her heyday as The Princess of Pop. The hashtags #SaveBritney and #FreeBritney are also being talked about repeatedly on social media.

This story began in January 2008, when Britney Spears was officially under the conservatory on court orders after her alleged mental illness began to occur in public. According to the court-approved agreement, Britney's father has control over financial assets and decisions regarding Britney's personal life. His father, Jamie Spears, was also asked to submit all financial transactions he had done.

In the case of Britney, fans saw this as not quite what happened. Two months after the conservatory ruling, Britney is still appearing in an American series entitled "How I Met Your Mother". Then in September 2008, Britney still won an award at the Video Music Awards 2008. Even in October of that year, she still released a new single titled "Womanizer" and it was a big comeback moment. Business Insider also reported that in 2018, Britney's net worth was US $ 59 million and spent US $ 1.1 million in legal and conservative fees that year.

Although Britney's mental state seemed to be improving in public, the conservatory on her was made permanent. Even though it was rumored that he was uncomfortable with the situation he was in. Nor does he have the power to choose his own lawyer. From then on, Britney began to voice out that she felt her life was too restrictive.

The #FreeBritney movement is fans 'endeavor for Britney Spears' "freedom." According to a New York Times report, this movement has actually been around since 2009 and is fronted by those who disagree with Britney's conservatory, most of whom are members of breatheheavy.com.

In some of her Instagram posts, Britney also often gives signs that she wants to be free from this conservatory.

During the 2016 election, Britney was forced to remove the hashtag #ImWithHer from her post supporting Hillary Clinton because she is allegedly not allowed to vote while she is under a conservatorship. #FreeBritney pic.twitter.com/v8fn8A5vs1

This is reinforced by the frequent uploading of videos of herself to social media during the pandemic, which fans believe to be code. In one of Britney's video uploads, a fan named Alex Park commented by saying "if you need help, use a yellow shirt in your next video" and Britney wearing a yellow shirt in the next video. Although Britney didn't mention anything #FreeBritney or #SaveBritney, fans assumed this was a response to those comments.
