Britney Spears mum Lynne hits back at now-deleted audio on conservatorship claims

2022-08-29

Britney Spears' mum has hit back at claims made by the singer in a deleted audio clip about her conservatorship.

The pop star, 40, posted a 22-minute voice memo on Sunday night, August 28, revealing new allegations about the legal arrangement that controlled her life for 13 years.

Britney was involuntarily placed under the conservatorship by a court in early 2008 in response to her erratic behaviour and personal problems.

It gave her dad Jamie and others control of her finances and almost every aspect of her life until it was terminated last November, allowing Britney to make her own medical, financial and personal decisions without consulting one of her conservators.

In the audio clip, which was later deleted, the Toxic singer reportedly claimed the conservatorship was "all premeditated" and described it as "pure abuse", saying: "I felt like my family threw me away."

Britney also reportedly claimed to be more angry at her mum Lynne than her dad because she didn't speak out against it.

According to Billboard, she said: "I'm honestly more angry at my mom because I heard when reporters would call her at the time, and ask questions of what was going on, she would go innocently hide in the house and she wouldn’t speak up."

Lynne, 67, took to Instagram to seemingly respond to the audio and asking Britney to speak to her in person.

Alongside a photo of her and her daughter, Lynne wrote: "Britney, your whole life I have tried my best to support your dreams and wishes! And also, I have tried my best to help you out of hardships!

"I have never and will never turn my back on you! Your rejections to the countless times I have flown out and calls make me feel hopeless! I have tried everything.

"I love you so much, but this talk is for you and me only, eye to eye, in private".

The clip was shared days after Britney and Sir Elton John released their new track Hold Me Closer, a remix of the 75 year old's hit Tiny Dancer.

It follows a heart-breaking message to fans on her now-deleted Instagram when Britney admitted her life is "by no means picture perfect" and she "cries herself to sleep most nights".

Part of the lengthy, emotional post read: "The truth is, my spirits are better but I will forever be traumatized by my past experience for life."

OK! revealed earlier this month that Britney is lining up a Meghan and Harry-style interview with Oprah Winfrey so she can tell the world “her truth” about her family dramas.
