“This conservatorship is literally allowing my dad to ruin my life,” she added, her voice cracking.
The ‘Toxic’ singer revealed she had “always been extremely scared” of her father, and was afraid he would “show up drunk” to her dance classes when she was a child.
“I’m here to get rid of my dad and charge him with conservatorship abuse,” she said. “I want to press charges for abuse.”
At one stage, the judge reportedly told Spears to take “all the time she needed” to compose herself after she became emotional during her testimony.
She told the court every part of her life had been controlled including what she ate, and that she had been forced to work 70 hours a week.
“Their goal was to make me feel crazy and I’m not,” she said. “And that’s not OK.”
“Ma’am, that’s not abuse, that’s just f**king cruelty,” a tearful Spears reportedly said.
Excuse my language but it’s the truth.”
