Britney Spears discusses her conservatorship in unearthed clip from 2016

As a lifestyle expert with decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the recent resurfacing of Britney Spears’ 2016 interview discussing her conservatorship is both heartbreaking and enlightening. It’s heartbreaking to see such a talented and vibrant artist struggle for autonomy, but it’s also empowering to witness her resilience and determination.


A 2016 clip of Britney Spears discussing her conservatorship in a TV interview with Jonathan Ross has been uncovered.

In my own words, as a devoted admirer sharing insights, I’d say: At the age of 42, finding myself on the renowned British platform to promote my album titled ‘Glory’, I couldn’t help but touch upon the contractual agreement that plays a significant role in my creative journey.

In her current situation, which is known as a conservatorship, she’s been in it for three years now. Previously, she shared that during this period, many decisions were made on her behalf. However, for this upcoming album, she asserted that she wanted to take full control and make it her own creation.

She went on to say, ‘I carefully planned my actions, which is why it holds such significance for me.’

Britney’s comments were scrapped from the final edit of the episode, but have now resurfaced.

It comes three years after the conservatorship was officially ended by a California judge. 

On Saturday, a previously unseen clip from The Jonathan Ross Show was played as part of ITV’s special re-run.

The recording showed Ross asking Spears, ‘The new album, you are more involved in this musically, I understand, than previous ones? So you’ve taken control. You’re more in control of your music than before? Why did it take you so long? Why did you wait ’til now to do it?’

At that time, Britney, who was 34 years old, started her response by saying, ‘There are quite a few factors, however, I’d rather not delve too deeply into the entire tale.’

Later, Jonathan inquired from the artist about her emotional state, asking if she was content and comfortable. She replied affirmatively, saying, “Yes, sir.

Earlier, someone who attended the interview live shared online that during the conversation, Britney Spears, known for her hit song “Slave 4 U,” mentioned something regarding her conservatorship, a legal arrangement overseen by her father Jamie Spears, who is currently 72 years old.

In her 2023 memoir, The Woman in Me, Spears additionally noted that a section from their original interview was excluded.

In her revealing book, she stated, ‘I brought up the conservatorship during a talk show in 2016, yet for some reason, that section of the discussion didn’t get broadcasted. Isn’t it intriguing?’

While under her conservatorship, Britney was reportedly barred by her team from openly discussing the legal agreement in public, as per Page Six.

Previously, confidential sources informed The Sun that Britney’s associates were taken aback by her spontaneous speech during the interview, which led to a string of discussions at ITV.

They informed the publication that everyone was taken aback, as the Conservatorship had been a constant presence yet rarely discussed.

‘The fact Britney raised it on one of the biggest shows in the UK set off alarm bells.’

After that, a succession of discussions ensued, with the teams deliberating on how to manage the circumstances, and eventually, it was determined not to broadcast the remarks.

‘There was a lot of back and forth but ultimately ITV played ball and removed all mention of the Conservatorship.’

In November 2021, Britney’s guardianship ended, giving her back control over her multi-million dollar assets, her professional life, and her personal liberties.

In a shocking court hearing in 2021, the singer claimed that though her father had maintained the legal agreement was for her protection, she characterized it as abusive instead.

Earlier this month, Spears shared on Instagram about her progress as she embraces newfound independence.

She expressed in a caption: ‘I aim to discover my authentic body… the one that only acts when I will it.’

The star went on saying: “The healing process begins by focusing on the mind initially! I can attest that at one point in my life, my body wasn’t even mine due to all the things it was made to endure against my will. It felt degrading, but now, I truly sense a spiritual metamorphosis.
