Britney Spears, the pop icon who is known for the hit songs "Toxic" and "Baby One More Time," is immersed in an ongoing trial over her 13-year conservatorship that officially ended on November 12, 2021. According to a Deadline article, there is a mini-trial set for July 27th, 2022 to further examine illegal activity, such as surveillance and total control over Britney's personal finances, that occurred during the conservatorship.

As stated by Vox, a "conservatorship" appoints a parent or guardian to manage all financial and personal affairs of an adult person who is unable to live on their own, usually for medical or age-related conditions. In 2008, the press branded Britney Spears as "insane" during an infamous public breakdown where she shaved her head and attacked a paparazzi's car with an umbrella. 

When asked why she shaved her head, Brittney responded that she was "sick of people touching my hair." Soon after this shocking event, Spears was admitted into psychiatric hospitalization and then placed into temporary legal conservatorship, filed by her father, Jamie Spears.
