britney has been under something called a conservatorship, which is a legal arrangement in which a courts someone power to make financial and life decisions for another person. britney's main conservator has been her father, jamie spears, who has used his position to control every aspect of his daughter's life. he restricted everything from whom she dated to the color of her kitchen cabinets. (as dad) your honor, avocado cabinets with a terra cotta backsplash? clearly, she's a danger to herself and cupboards. a lot of people have spoken out in favor of britney, but there's one person we haven't heard from publicly: britney... until yesterday, when she testified in court and she said she's been intimidated and punished by her father, and her management team. and that they should be in jail. that's right. britney told the judge: (singing) ♪ they're not that innocent ♪ ( cheers and applause ) spears said the conservatorship has total control over more than just her finances, explaining i have an i.u.d. inside of myself right now. i wanted to take the i.u.d. out so i could start trying to ha

i'll just read a portion of the court report that has now been released. it says britneyan oppressive and controlling tool used against her. she is sick of being taken advantage of. she is the one working and earning her money but everyone around her is on her payroll. when you just say, victor and i, our eyebrows went up for the $138 million for just the vegas residency. does that money still exist? can she get that money back? >> well, let's hope it does still exist. i know that her father in the conservatorship does get 1.5% of that money that she made in the vegas residency. her fortune is reportedly worth about $60 million right now. so when you think about all the money made from the vegas residency, you think about having to pay dancers, paying venues, paying overhead, but she does still have a really big fortune that she has amassed and she still wants to work. so a lot of people think if you have the fortitude, the mental fortitude to go through all that, to do a four-year vegas residency, that you are on stage every single night performing for hours, then you ca

britney directly today. that was never really happened before for most of the 13-year long conservatorship saga. everything has new reporting that you have says that britney spears has been trying to get out of this conservatorship which is extraordinary, that she's been trying to get out of this longer than we previously knew. you write as early as 2014 in a hearing closed to the public, ms. spears' court appointed lawyer said she wanted to explore moving her father as conservator, citing his drinking among other objections on a shopping list of grievances. how significant is it that she's been trying to do this for so many years? >> that was surprising to us. rerecently defenders of the conservatorship said things like this benefits britney. she could file to get out of it any time, basically implying that she wants to be in there. so it was really surprising to see that in the confidential court records she has been raising concerns about the conservatorship and pushing to get out of it far earlier than anyone knew. >> what were you most surprised to learn during your investigation? >> probably two things.

has to say. absolutely. well, britneyaps the sharpest critique for her fatherjamie who for the last 13 years has controlled her personal life and herfinancial life controlled her personal life and her financial life as well. she said that he basically had, anything that happened to me, she said, had to be approved by my dad, and she took issue with such things as the way with which therapy sessions were handled because it exposed her to the long lenses of the paparazzi. she said she had expressed a desire to have an iud contraceptive device removed because she wanted to try to have a baby but she was told that that was not in her best interests and that wouldn't happen either. this was done with weathering critique of those who are supposed to be caring for her. as to whether this goes now, well, there will be other court hearings. petitions have to be put forward in order for this process to advance through the invariably slow legal channels that it will invariably take. but the writing is on the wall as far as jamie spe

>> well, if you think about it, since 2008 britney has put out four albums, gone on four world tours.er claimed that it has made more than $100 billion worldwide. when you think about all that, that means that she is earning so much money for so many people, and under this conservatorship, her father said he's increased her net worth from $2.8 million to $60 million. in other words, she's making money for everybody. when you're making money for everybody, they don't want it to end. >> yeah. kevin, it's tony dokoupil. britney made some pretty shocking allegations in her testimony yesterday. what stood out to you? >> well, there are two things. and you heard sarah mentioned that she didn't realize that she could contest or end the conservatorship. but also that her medication was used as a sort of punishment. i interviewed britney in 2006 in new orleans. she was helping victims of katrina, taking them shopping. she was a vibrant young woman. then in december of 2008 at her birthday party, i interviewed her again. in my opinion, she was heavily medicated. and that was a red flag to us th
