Britney Spears says she won't perform while her father has control over her career
Britney Spears has revealed in a recent Instagram post that she wont "be performing on any stages anytime soon" while her father Jamie Spears has control over her career as part of the conservatorship.
Over the weekend Britney Spears shared a new Instagram post which saw her call out both her father (Jamie Spears) and sister (Jamie Lynn Spears), and revealed that she won't "be performing on any stages anytime soon" until her father is removed from the conservatorship.
Spears wrote, "For those of you who choose to criticize my dancing videos ... look I'm not gonna be performing on any stages anytime soon with my dad handling what I wear, say, do, or think!!!! I've done that for the past 13 years ... I'd much rather share videos YES from my living room instead of onstage in Vegas where some people were so far gone they couldn't even shake my hand and I ended up getting a contact high from weed all the time ... which I didn't mind but it would have been nice to be able to go to the mother fucking spa!!!!"
The popstar continued, "And no I'm not gonna put on heavy makeup and try try try on stage again and not be able to do the real deal with remixes of my songs for years and begging to put my new music in my show for MY fans ... so I quit !!!! I don't like that my sister showed up at an awards show and performed MY SONGS to remixes !!!!! My so-called support system hurt me deeply !!!! This conservatorship killed my dreams ... so all I have is hope and hope is the only thing in this world that is very hard to kill ... yet people still try !!!! I didn't like the way the documentaries bring up humiliating moments from the past ... I'm way past all that and have been for a long time !!!! And for women who say it's weird the way I still have hope for fairy tales ... go fuck yourself !!!!!"

Last month the popstar spoke about her conservatorship (set up in 2008) in open court for the first time, and stated she would "honestly like to sue my family" due to the controlling nature of the conservatorship, and spoke about being forced to tour and being put on "lithium out of nowhere".
After a Judge denied Britney Spears’ request from November 2020 to end her father’s role in the conservatorship earlier this month, Spears was granted permission to choose her own layer in her conservatorship case last week.
Last week's hearing saw Spears plead (remotely via phone) to have her father removed from the conservatorship. Spears told the judge, "I’m here to get rid of my dad and charge him for conservatorship abuse. I want to press charges for abuse on this conservatorship today… all of it."
