Britney Spears dropped a 20-minute video about testimony in which she talked about how alone she felt while she was in the care of her conservator. Spears put the 20-minute audio-only video on YouTube on Sunday night. There were no visuals. The video was public for about an hour before it was made private, but not before fans and others could watch it and take notes.
“„“They had to let me go. Because the Free Britney campaign came out with all the pink t-shirts I saw on the morning shows and I think by my fans knowing by heart that something was up,” she said.
“„“A woman introduced the idea to my dad and my mom helped him follow through and made it all happen. It was all set up. There was no drugs or alcohol in my system. Pure abuse,” she said.

“„"I think it's kind of silly that you can get paid to tell your story." She also said, "I'm here just to be open to others and try to shed light on — if anyone out there has ever gone through hard times, or whatever — just to shed light on it so that person doesn't feel alone. Because I know exactly how that feels."
“„"For some reason, I began to feel alive again. When I started making Glory, the fire in my eyes came back. "I started to feel better about myself, and when I did, people were like, 'What's going on, she's talking up a bit more?'" she said.
“„"I think that with confidence comes enlightenment, which makes you think better. They didn't want that at all. I just had to play this part and act like everything was fine."
“„"They killed me in every way. They got rid of me. "My parents gave me up," she said. I was a robot. How hard I worked was crazy."
“„"It's more than just a sit-down interview for me," she said. I'm telling you this because I want you to know that I'm just like you. I do feel like I've been hurt, but how can I fix this if I don't talk about it?
“„"Right now, I have a great song with one of the smartest people alive, and I'm so thankful. But if you're an introvert weirdo like me who often feels alone and you needed to hear a story like mine today to know you're not alone, know this: My life hasn't been easy, and neither have yours.
“„“I think I’m gonna cry the rest of the day,” she said. “Best day ever … praise the Lord … can I get an Amen ?”
