BRITNEY Spears told a lawyer she wanted to “eliminate her conservatorship” more than a decade ago in a new Netflix teaser trailer for the upcoming documentary Britney vs Spears.
Back in August, the pop star’s father, Jamie, decided to step down as her conservator after more than 13 years in the role.
The clip, a preview for the upcoming full trailer for the highly anticipated doc, kicks off with a title card that reads: “The following audio is a voicemail from Britney Spears to a lawyer on January 21st, 2009 at 12:29am.”
The iconic hitmaker’s voice is then heard, as she says: “Hi, my name is Britney Spears, I called you earlier.
“I’m calling again because I just wanted to make sure we’re in the process of eliminating the conservatorship…”
Britney’s current lawyer is Mathew Rosengart.
Plenty of people rushed to the comments section to react, as one person wrote: “If this is not Pro Britney we are all going to be pissed!”
Another added: “This is gonna be So good!!! And right before the next court date! More s**t is gonna come out. I can feel it.”
However, some weren’t all about another documentary about Britney: “No thanks! We just want the trafficking of Britney Spears to end so she can be allowed to speak for herself rather than being silenced and treated like a dead person.”
A Hulu documentary titled Framing Britney Spears was released earlier this year, which shocked fans and led to various celebrities chiming in, including her ex Justin Timberlake.
It also reignited the Free Britney campaign, with rallies being held in support of the singer.
The trailer comes weeks after the entertainer’s dad stepped down from his role as her conservator after he allegedly became the “target of unjustified attacks.”
Britney, who was first placed in the strict conservatorship back in 2008, made some shocking allegations during a court hearing in June.
According to the 39-year-old she was not allowed to get married and was forced to get an IUD she cannot take out to have another baby.
Britney shares sons Sean, 16, and Jayden, 15, with her ex-husband Kevin Federline.
However, Jamie’s surprising decision was soon followed by engagement news, as Britney and her boyfriend Sam Asghari announced they are ready to tie the knot after five years of dating.
“The couple made their long-standing relationship official today and are deeply touched by the support, dedication and love expressed to them,” Sam’s manager Brandon Cohen said in a statement.
Brandon concluded that Sam “couldn’t be happier to be involved and make this one-of-a-kind ring.”
The next court date in Britney’s conservatorship case is September 29, where it will be decided whether the conservatorship will continue.
