this is a major victory for britney spears and for the free britney spears and for the free britney fansng for years to have this conservatorship ended. they were portrayed as cranks and conspiracy theorists by some, and ridiculed over their claims that britney spears was being held against her will under the terms of this conservatorship, but there was a documentary released earlier in the year which gave credence to a lot of their claims, that increased support for britney spears and increase the pressure on her father, jamie, to stand down after 13 years in control of his daughter's finances, and twice during the summer, britney spears issued these impassioned pleas to the court to release her from the tables of the conservatorship which she branded abusive, she said it had prevented herfrom getting married and having children, and she called for herfatherjamie to be children, and she called for her fatherjamie to be accused and tried for what she called conservatorship abuse. now, after 13 years under his control, jamie spears has filed these documents in court, seeking not only to h

let me give people an example of what some allege is abusive, britney spears. so for instance, in new york times film where it's looking at the surveillance and monitoring of britney spears, at some point she wanted to have her phone an iphone. and then the i phone was monitored. let's have a look at this and why don't we just take an ipad sign in with an icloud on there, the same cloud that brittany would use on her phone and that would mirror all activity. you would be able to see all messages, all face time calls, nodes, browser history, photographs. so lisa, literally shaking her head for the entire clip. what's wrong here, lisa? why would that not be ok? well, even if britney spears needed a conservator and i don't believe that she ever did, i believe that there were a series of missteps by the corps and the attorneys that resulted in a violation of her constitutional rights and civil liberties that has never been warranted. but to use surveillance on any person to this extent is, is disgusting. it's despicable misconduct and way out of line for a conserva

spears of his alleged misconduct saying, quote, this filing represents a massive legal victory for britney spearsication. having exposed his misconduct and plan to hold his daughter hostage by trying to extract a multimillion dollar settlement. mr. spears has now effectively surrendered. there is no smem to the extent mr. spears believes he can try to avoid accountability and injustice, he is incorrect and our investigation into financial mismanagement and other issues will continue. the decision to end the conservatorship to end now rests with a judge. the next hearing is september 29th. >>> monica lewinsky is speaking out about the new tv series that revisits her affair with former president bill clinton. the scandal is the subject of "impeachment: american crime story" on the cable channel fx. lewinsky says she no longer needs an apology from clinton but says he should want to apologize. >> i think there there was a long period before my life changed the last six or seven years where i felt a lot in terms of there not being there resolution, and i'm very grateful that i don't have that feeling
