AceShowbiz - Britney Spears is feeling more grateful than ever amid her conservatorship battle. After being granted the right to hire her own private lawyer to represent her in the court hearing, the "Toxic" hitmaker admitted that she felt "blessed" in a new social media post.
On Wednesday, July 14, the 39-year-old pop star took to her Instagram page to express her gratitude. Along with a video of her riding a horse and doing cartwheels, she wrote, "Coming along, folks ... coming along!!!!! New with real representation today ... I feel GRATITUDE and BLESSED !!!!"
"Thank you to my fans who are supporting me ... You have no idea what it means to me be supported by such awesome fans !!!! God bless you all !!!!!" Britney continued to thank her fans and followers for their continuous support amid her conservatorship battle. The "Oops!... I Did It Again" singer then ended her caption, writing, "Pssss this is me celebrating by horseback riding and doing cartwheels today!!!!" adding "#FreeBritney" hashtag.
In the comment section, her boyfriend Sam Asghari could be seen leaving a supportive message. "Internet is about to explode #freebritney," he wrote. A fan also left a comment that read, "Did she just say #freebritney? I can't rn...WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH BRITNEY," with another adding, "You have no idea how much you are loved and how many millions are rooting for you! You are so loved! #freebritney."
On Wednesday afternoon, Britney told judge Brenda Penny that she would like to choose her own counsel. "I haven't really had the opportunity by my own self to actually handpick my own lawyer by myself. And I would like to be able to do that," she said during the court hearing. The judge then approved her request and granted her a right to hire celebrity attorney Mathew Rosengart, following the resignation of her court-appointed lawyer Sam Ingham.
Of the "abusive" conservatorship, U.S. representative Matt Gaetz called Britney's father Jamie Spears a "d**k" while speaking outside of the Los Angeles court where her conservatorship hearing took place. "There's a lot that still divides us but one thing we call all agree on is that Jamie Spears is a d**k," he said in front of other fans who had gathered in front of the courthouse.
"He should not be making any more decisions regarding his daughter, she is nearly 40 years old she should make her own decisions. This case should open our eyes to the broader abuse that occurs in this system to the millions of Americans impacted," Matt explained further. He continued, "Britney has a chance because we all love her and we care about her. The whole world knows what Britney Spears wants, and it is the freedom and the liberty that should be offered to every single American. Free Britney!"
