Britney Spears's father steps down from the conservatorship

Britney Spears took to social media to complain about the way her father treated her under the conservatorship.

Britney Spears's father, Jamie, will be removed from her conservatorship, N12 reported on Friday.
Jamie, who signed the papers to be removed on Thursday night, said that there is no reason to change the current state of affairs, and the removal will be the wrong move for Britney.
The conservatorship has been in place since 2008, when Britney was in a bad mental state and suffering from nervous breakdowns. The conservatorship gave Jamie full control of Britney's life and finances, which are estimated at $60 million. Theories arose since then that Britney was trapped and wanted to get free from her father, sparking the "free Britney" movement. The movement gained more attention after the Framing Britney Spears documentary was released at the beginning of the year followed by Britney taking to social media to describe what went on between her and her father.
Britney claimed her father forced her not to have kids by making her get an IUD implant in her womb. She also alleged that she was being forced to take lithium against her will. 
"It's a strong drug," she said. "You can go insane from taking it for more than five months. I felt drunk. I couldn't keep up a conversation with my parents about anything."
Britney continued, describing her frustration at not being able to go on holiday, meet up with friends, get married or have children because of the restrictions of the conservatorship under her father. 
She also criticized her family for their part in the conservatorship, saying that they "didn't do anything about it. Everything I did had to get my father's approval. I want to get free."
The court is expected to appoint a new guardian in the coming days.
