Britney Spears was forced into rehab for objecting during a rehearsal - court documents

Britney Spears said she was forced into a mental health facility as punishment for objecting during a rehearsal, leaked court documents, which were seen by The New York Times, have revealed. The paper reports that, according to a transcript from a closed-door hearing in spring 2019, "she asserted that she had been forced into a mental health facility against her will on exaggerated grounds, which she viewed as punishment for standing up for herself and making an objection during a rehearsal". According to the documents, the singer's 2019 stint in a mental health facility was against her will after her Las Vegas residency was canceled, The Times reported. Documents also quote Britney Spears as referring to the conservatorship as an "oppressive and controlling tool against her". Today, Wednesday, June 23, Spears will be speaking directly, albeit from a remote location, to a Los Angeles Superior Court judge about her situation, NPR reports.
