A California judge terminated pop star Britney Spears conservatorship effective immediately.
Britney Spears had been under the conservatorship for 13 years and Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny ended the court ordered arrangement during a hearing on Friday.
“The conservatorship of the person and estate of Britney Jean Spears is no longer required,” Judge Penny said, making her ruling in less than half an hour into the brief hearing. “The conservatorship is hereby terminated.”
The judge also said she did not have to submit to any declaration of her capacity.
Britney is now free to make her own medical, financial and personal decisions for the first time since 2008. Spears is valued at more than $50 million.
The “Oops!… I Did It Again” singer shared her excitement of the big news on social media. Brit thanked her fans and said that she thought she would cry the rest of the day, with the quote, “best day ever…praise the Lord.”
This story has drawn widespread attention, from Britney’s fans, politicians and celebs alike. We have some of their reactions to her conservatorship termination below from Twitter.
