Old Clip Of Britney Spears Talking About Her Conservatorship Goes Viral
Fashion writer Philip Logan spotted the clip in a compilation episode of “The Jonathan Ross Show” that aired this past weekend and posted the segment with Britney Spears to X. In the video, she and Ross discuss her album, “Glory.”
“You are more involved in this musically, I understand, than previous works, so you’ve taken control,” Ross says. “You’re more in control of your music than before?” To which Britney replies, “Yes.” Ross then asked why it took her so long to be in control, and the “Baby One More Time” singer begins to open up.
“It was, like, a thing since the conservatorship… I’m in a conservatorship, it’s the third year of me being under that. I felt like a lot of the things were planned for me to do, and, you know, being told what to do.” she explained. “And I was just like, ‘For this one, I want to make it my baby, and I want to do it myself.'” For reasons that haven’t been disclosed, that segment of the interview never aired.
Fans React To Old Clip
Fans were shocked when they watched this section of the interview, and for many, it just confirmed their beliefs about how wrong the conservatorship was. "She deserved so much better," one person tweeted.
"I'm gagged they finally aired this omg," one person wrote.
"Makes sense!" another posted. "It was a big revelation about her intentions behind the album and Jamie forced them to cut it. I bet the producers were pissed off! Having Britney on is a huge deal and they almost ruined it."
"She really has been through a lot," another fan added. "A legend, an icon, and a nature force."
"This is crazy!" a final fan posted. "I guess I was never 100% sure this moment really happened. Actually seeing it is insane!"
