Summary

When we ended our series on Britney, we had no idea where her story would go next. But for the first time in 13 years, Britney’s speaking up on her own behalf, and she has a LOT to say. According to Britney, she’s facing restrictions so severe, they’re practically abuse. We spoke to Zoe Brennan-Krohn of the ACLU to help us figure out what rights Britney still has, what her next steps might be, and why conservatorships have become a crucial disability rights issue.
