Following the Los Angeles County Superior Court 2021 ruling in favor of Britney Spears, the pop superstar has since been invited to speak before the U.S. Congress about conservatorship reform.
After years of dismay and ultimate victory, Britney has since become a symbol of conservatorship law reform and human rights, and on Wednesday (2.16) she took to Instagram to share a letter she received from Representatives Charlie Crist and Eric Swalwell requesting she make an address at the White House.
“I received this letter months ago … An invitation to share my story … I was immediately flattered and at the time I wasn’t nearly at the healing stage I’m in now … Number 1 – I’m grateful that my story was even ACKNOWLEDGED!!!” “Because of the letter, I felt heard and like I mattered for the first time in my life!!! In a world where your own family goes against you, it’s actually hard to find people that get it and show empathy!!!!”
Though the embattled musician’s yet to reveal whether she’ll accept the offer, Spears acknowledged that she was still healing from her experiences over the past 13 years, writing:
“Again, I’m not here to be a victim although I’m the first to admit I’m pretty messed up by it all … I want to help others in vulnerable situations, take life by the balls and be brave !!!” the 40-year-old continued. “I wish I would have been … I was so scared and nothing is worse than your own family doing what they did to me … I’m lucky to have a small circle of adorable friends who I can count on … In the meantime, thank you to Congress for inviting me to the White House.”
