Everyone Loves Britney - IV. Blackout

PETER MCCORMACK
About this episode

In Everyone Loves Britney, we investigate the complex conservatorship case of Britney Spears.

The series looks at her troubled past and what led to her being put under a conservatorship. We question the legality of the processes that took place, and analyse the problems within the probate court system. We speak to people who have been through conservatorships and the attorneys who want to see change. And we ask who stands to benefit from Britney's ongoing conservatorship that has cost her millions.

Does Britney really need the conservatorship, or is she being held against her will?

IV. Blackout
Britney's father has controlled her conservatorship for 13 years, but Britney has now said she will no longer perform whilst he is in control. In this episode, we look at who has been making money from Britney's estate and whether Britney really needs the conservatorship or not.
