#FreeBritney is a disability rights issue. That is not being emphasized nearly enough.

Celebrities can and do have disabilities too. Celebrity or not, none of us deserves to be forced into conservatorship.

At her court hearing this week, Britneycompared her “abusive” conservatorship to sex trafficking as she spoke out for the first time since her public breakdown in 2007.

She exclaimed she is “not a slave” and said she is ”so angry” she wants to ”sue” her family for years of ”abuse.”

The singer addressed the court by video as her dad, Jamie, and mum Lynne, also joined in.

She opened up about the image she’d projected via social media over the past couple of years.

“I’ve lied and told the whole world, ‘I’m OK. And I’m happy.’ It’s a lie. I thought I just maybe [have] said that enough. Because I’ve been in denial. I’ve been in shock. I am traumatised. You know, fake it til you make it. But now I’m telling you the truth. OK? I’m not happy. I can’t sleep. I’m so angry. It’s insane. And I’m depressed. I cry every day,” she said.

Britney also took to Instagram to apologise to her supporters, writing: “I apologise for pretending like I’ve been ok the past two years … I did it because of my pride and I was embarrassed to share what happened to me … but honestly who doesn’t want to capture there Instagram in a fun light 💡🤷🏼‍♀️ !!!!

“Believe it or not pretending that I’m ok has actually helped … so I decided to post this quote today because by golly if you’re going through hell.

“I feel like Instagram has helped me have a cool outlet to share my presence … existence … and to simply feel like I matter despite what I was going through and hey it worked.
