Britney Spears said she isn’t “here to be a victim” after her 13-year conservatorship with her family ended.
The 39-year-old pop icon, wearing shorts, high-heeled shoes, and a crop top, described the simple joys she’s experiencing for the first time, ranging from getting her own ATM card to purchasing her own candles.
“I’m just grateful, honestly, for each day, and being able to have the keys to my car, and being able to be independent, feel like a woman, and owning an ATM card — seeing cash for the first time, being able to buy candles,” she said. “It’s the little things for us women, but it makes a huge difference, and I’m grateful for that. It’s nice.”
“It’s really nice.”
JUDGE ENDS CONSERVATORSHIP CONTROLLING LIFE OF BRITNEY SPEARS FOR NEARLY 14 YEARS
A Los Angeles judge ended Spears’s conservatorship Friday after she hired attorney Mathew Rosengart in July to her case. Her father, Jamie Spears, was granted the conservatorship in 2008 after she allegedly dealt with mental health issues and was hospitalized, but the court made the conservatorship permanent after her release.
Most financial and medical decisions were granted to her father.
Britney Spears has worked her “a** off” throughout her career, she added, saying she’s not playing victim after the financial situation.
“I’m not here to be a victim,” she continued on Instagram. “I’ve lived with victims my whole life as a child — that’s why I got out of my house, and I worked for 20 years, and worked my a** off.”

“I’m here to be an advocate for people with real disabilities and real illnesses,” she said. “I’m a very strong woman, so I can only imagine what the system has done to those people.”
She gave props to her fans’ efforts in the #FreeBritney movement.
“I honestly think you guys saved my life.”
