Britney Spears’ case is high-profile and rather unusual. How can a woman known around the world and worth millions of dollars be forced into a “conservatorship” where she’s forced to perform against her will (on one occasion with a dangerously high fever of 106 degrees), can’t see friends without permission, and can’t even pick out the dang color of her kitchen cabinets?
Basically: She had a lot of talent for music and dance but not a lot of legal knowhow, and got sucked into a predatory legal arrangement with her family and various lawyers without knowing her rights.
If it can happen to her, it can happen to anyone. And it does, all around the globe, to this day. Whether blessed by “law” or straight-up illegally.
So know this:
—You do not *ever* have to work for free!
—You can exit *any* coercive situation!
—If something feels wrong, it probably is!
—Never give up! Trust your instincts!
