Eventually, the singer says her management briefly came around, allowing her to opt out of her new show. “There was a week period where they were nice to me,” Spears explained. “They said if I don’t want to do the new Vegas show, I don’t have to because I was getting really nervous.” As evident through one of the most awkward videos known to man, it seems the singer ultimatelyy got her wish. “It was like lifting literally 200 pounds off of me when they said I don’t have to do the show anymore because it was really really hard on myself and it was too much. I couldn’t take it anymore.”
However, it seems Spears still had to pay the price for her choice. Three days after she turned down the new residency, Spears says her therapist told her he had received “a million phone calls” detailing how she wasn’t taking her medication or cooperating in rehearsal, claims, Spears maintains are false. Immediately after, the singer says she was taken off of her normal medication regimen and instead, placed on take Lithium, a very powerful drug used to treat bipolar disorder, without her consent.
“It’s a strong drug. You can go mentally impaired if you stay on it longer than 5 months,” Spears recalled. “I felt drunk, I couldn’t even have a conversation with my mom or dad about anything. They had me with six different nurses.”
Despite feeling terrible from the side effects of her medication, her family reportedly remained nonchalant to her evidently extreme discomfort. “My family didn’t do a God damn thing,” Spears said. “Anything I had to do, [my dad] was the one who approved all of it. My whole family did nothing.”
As CNN noted, Spears did not disclose any medical conditions that would have warranted her use of the drug.
5. Britney Says She Just Wants Her ‘Life Back’
Even after sharing this harrowing account, the singer says at the end of the day, she just wants to be able to exit her conservatorship without being subjected to psychological evaluations. “I just want my life back,” the star said towards the end of her testimony. “And it’s my wish and my dream for all of this to end without being tested. Again, it makes no sense whatsoever for the state of California to sit back and literally watch me with their own two eyes, make a living for so many people, and pay so many people, trucks and buses on the road with me and be told, I’m not good enough. But I’m great at what I do.”
