Britney Spears is so happy, she’s doing cartwheels — literally.
On Wednesday, the 39-year-old singer took to Instagram to post a video of herself horseback riding and doing cartwheels in the grass. Alongside the post, which was fittingly set to KT Tunstall’s “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree,” Britney wrote, “Coming along, folks … coming along [middle finger emoji]!!!!!”
“New with real representation today … I feel GRATITUDE and BLESSED,” Britney continued. “Thank you to my fans who are supporting me … You have no idea what it means to me be supported by such awesome fans !!!! God bless you all !!!!!”
Britney was referring to Wednesday’s development in her ongoing conservatorship battle, in which a judge approved Spears’ request to appoint high-powered attorney Mathew S. Rosengart as her new legal counsel on Wednesday for her conservatorship case. Rosengart immediately pledged to get Britney’s father, Jamie Spears, removed as her conservator.
Britney’s celebratory Instagram post concluded, “Pssss this is me celebrating by horseback riding and doing cartwheels today,” adding #FreeBritney. By the way, it’s believed this is the first time that Britney herself has used the #FreeBritney hashtag in a public social media post.
Britney’s boyfriend, Sam Asghari, as well as celebrities Ariana Grande, Jersey Shore’s Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and thousands of fans, showered the “Stronger” singer with support in the post’s comments.
“YOU ARE SO VERY LOVED AND SUPPORTED,” Ari commented.
Britney Spears addressed California Superior Court Judge Brenda J. Penny on Wednesday, stating her desire to have her father removed from her conservatorship. “I am here to get rid of my dad,” she said.
She also said during Wednesday’s hearing that she wanted to charge her father, Jamie Spears, with conservator abuse.
Britney also has a new attorney. Penny approved high-powered attorney Mathew S. Rosengart to be the pop star’s new legal counsel. The judge also approved Samuel D. Ingham III’s request to resign as the singer’s court-appointed attorney.
While Rosengart appeared in person in court, Britney and Jamie Spears called in via telephone. Also appearing remotely were Britney’s mother, Lynne Spears, as well as co-conservator Jodi Montgomery, who has served as the conservator of the singer’s personal affairs since 2019 when Jamie vacated the role.
Penny also approved the request from Bessemer Trust to step down as co-conservator in the handling of Britney’s estate, leaving Jamie in sole control of her finances. Jamie’s involvement in the conservatorship has been a point of contention for some time; during Wednesday’s hearing, Britney spoke about her “serious abandonment issues” and said that as a child, she was “extremely scared” of her father.
“My dad needs to be removed [from the conservatorship] today,” she said, adding that she approved of Montgomery’s job as conservator of her person.
These developments came three weeks to the day after her bombshell testimony about her conservatorship on June 23. This testimony did more than just make headlines — it served as the catalyst for several changes regarding her 13-year conservatorship.
Britney, 39, has been in a conservatorship since 2008, when she was hospitalized for mental health reasons.
The Grammy winner’s next day in court is scheduled for September 29.
