At the height of Britney Spears’ fame, exclusive paparazzi shots of the popstar sold for up to a million dollars. With ridiculous money like that on offer, it’s little wonder she became the most hunted celebrity on the planet. It’s also not surprising the never-ending attention crippled her. In 2008, Britney’s erratic behaviour and tumultuous personal life led to a very controversial court order which gave her father, Jamie Spears, control over every part of his daughter’s life, including the tens of millions of dollars she earned as one of the world’s most popular singers. Effectively, Britney went from performer to prisoner. Thirteen years on, the conservatorship, as it’s called, is still in place, but it seems Britney, who turns 40 this year, now wants her father to back off. As Karl Stefanovic reports, so do many of her adoring fans who’ve started an extraordinary movement to set her free.
