'You deserve this': Fans react

A California court originally placed Britney Spears under conservatorship in 2008 after a series of bizarre incidents, including: Shaving her head; Attacking the paparazzi with an umbrella; Locking herself in a room with one of her children to avoid handing them over to the child's father. She was freed from the conservatorship (controlled by her father) on November 12, 2022, after a court case.
