Last week Britney Spears testified in court  about the extent of the abuse she experienced over the last 13 years while under conservatorship. 

Forced labour, medication she did not want, time in a residential centre against her will, refusal to remove her IUD (birth control) — all these decisions were made by her father as her legally appointed conservator. She is still being prevented from getting married.
