Britney Spears invited by Congress to speak about conservatorships

Washington DC: Pop star Britney Spears and her attorney Mathew Rosengart have been invited by Congress to speak about guardianships and conservatorships. The outreach from Capitol Hill follows Spears' recent legal victory — the singer was freed from a 13-year conservatorship in November 2021. In a letter dated December 1, 2021, the singer was addressed by Congressmen Charlie Crist and Eric Swalwell, who congratulated the star and her attorney on their "historic victories," reports variety.com.

"It goes without saying that we have been following your conservatorship closely and were elated that you were able to both remove your father as a years-long conservator in September and finally terminate your conservatorship entirely in November," Crist and Swalwell wrote. "Your journey towards justice will inspire and empower many others who are improperly silenced by the conservatorship process."

On Wednesday, Spears posted the letter on her Instagram, telling her followers that she had received it months ago and was "immediately flattered," but wasn't yet at the "healing stage" she is at now.

"I'm grateful that my story was even acknowledged," the pop star wrote Wednesday to her social media followers. "Because of the letter, I felt heard and like I mattered for the first time in my life!!!"

"In a world where your own family goes against you, it's actually hard to find people that get it and show empathy!!!!" Spears continued on Instagram. "Again, I'm not here to be a victim although I'm the first to admit I'm pretty messed up by it all … I want to help others in vulnerable situations, take life by the balls and be brave!!! I wish I would have been..." "I was so scared and nothing is worse than your own family doing what they did to me … I'm lucky to have a small circle of adorable friends who I can count on."

Spears finished her caption, writing: "In the mean time thank you to Congress for inviting me to the White House."

An individual close to the pop star tells Variety that Spears and Rosengart have been formally invited by Congress to testify. No word on whether they have plans to appear at this time.
