Description
Britney Spears was under a conservatorship from 2008 to 2021 where all her financial and personal decisions had to be approved by her conservators, including her father, Jamie Spears. Britney earned hundreds of millions of dollars during that time, performing and touring extensively, while being deemed too impaired by the courts to be in control of her life. Britney is one of the most recognizable celebrities in the world, yet very little of the massive media coverage she generated focused on the conservatorship until the #FreeBritney movement grew within the last few years before the restrictive legal arrangement finally ended. Now that the conservatorship has been terminated, there are still an enormous amount of unanswered questions, including whether those responsible for the conservatorship will be held accountable for what Britney experienced during those 13+ years. Eat, Pray, Britney tries to draw attention to the restrictive constraints Britney was under during the conservatorship, as well as her current pursuit of justice, while also examining her life and career through a feminist lens.

3In the very first episode of Eat, Pray, Britney, Lisa and Jaclyn outline the terms of the conservatorship that Britney Spears has been under for the last decade. This episode sets the table for the rest of the season and begs the question: why aren't more people aware that Britney Spears has been under a permanent conservatorship for over 11 years? Why and how is it possible that one of the most famous women in the world has been placed in a virtual prison of lawyers, managers, and handlers, without a public outcry?
In this episode, we explore the last six months (October 2018 - April 2019) of the conservatorship, which has been unusually active.

All the while, Britney continued to work, record, and ultimately make her "comeback."

I think the don't post is a slam on the housekeeper to not taking pictures.
Tip- skip the first 17 minutes as not Britney related.
I knew it was her father ... didn't they look up his history before giving him de conservatorship? argh
hmmm I don't think she can decide to stop or not ... I am thinking that the tickets weren't selling enough and her team decided to use her father as an excuse. She did look happy when she was in rehearsal, we saw many videos. But yeah, could be that she threaten her team that she won't perform or something and they got scared she was going to screw up.
Just discovered your Podcast because if Britney's gram! 😊 I didn't know Andre and Wade quit because of this omg! I was always wondering why she wasn't working with them anymore, now I understand. I for one thought it was a good idea to put her under a conservatorship for the same reasons as you. OMG I can't believe everything I'm learning about Britney. I've been a fan for so long, it's crazy that I didn't know all that. 😔
