2018: Jamie Lynn Spears reportedly became a trustee of a portion of Britney Spears’ estate

April 2019: The #FreeBritney movement
The #FreeBritney movement was launched by long-time Britney fans over a decade ago. For years, people associated with the movement voiced concerns about how the conservatorship was affecting the singer’s well-being.
The movement gained traction in April 2019 after the Britney’s Gram podcast released a voicemail from an anonymous source (who said he was a former paralegal involved with Spears’ conservatorship) claiming that Britney had been forced to check into a mental-health facility.
CNN reported at the time that sources close to the pop star said she had voluntarily checked herself into the facility.
