00:00They might have silenced Britney, but they can't silence all of us!
00:03The people who did this to her should not be able to get away with it.
00:06This is huge.
00:07I think she deserves the world because she's given everyone the world.
00:12Britney now! Britney now! Britney now!
00:21This is the Britney doll that's coming to the rally tomorrow.
00:25It's just our typical Instagram Britney.
00:28Anyone who sees me, a lot of the times they'll be like,
00:30oh my gosh, what's going on with Britney Spears?
00:32It's like, hey, haven't seen you in 10 years, but let's talk about it.
00:36I got Baby One More Time on cassette when I think I was 8 years old.
00:43Ever since then, I've been a Sam.
00:44I appreciate her music.
00:46I think she's an incredible, incredible musician.
00:58In here is my craft room, and that is where I make all my custom dolls.
01:12I've got a lot of glitter, a lot of glue, a lot of paint.
01:17I feel like I've Zoomed with everyone a bunch,
01:21and this is the first time I'm actually seeing them in person,
01:23but they've all been to several rallies.
01:25It's so nice to meet you.
01:27Hello.
01:28How are you?
01:28Good, how are you?
01:29Good.
01:30Cheers, guys.
01:31Cheers.
01:32Free Brit.
01:33Free Britney.
01:34Brit.
01:35This is quite the rally to be the first.
01:37I've watched all the rallies.
01:38Watching them is different than I am.
01:40Yeah, I know.
01:40I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,
01:44I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,
01:46I have a little bit of like.
01:48So I'm kind of similar to Sage in the fact that I flew in for my first rally, too.
01:53And it was like, of course, like, we're way more mainstream now.
01:57So your experience will be like hyped to a different.
02:00Like, there were probably what like, 15 of us at my first rally.
02:04So, but my first rally still with like 15 or 20 people was still like me.
02:09Like, the most, I mean, one of the most amazing moments of my life
02:13because I was surrounded by people who understood why I was there instead of constantly having to
02:19explain a why I love Britney Spears and then b why I support Free Britney. If this all goes
02:25this way like she's going to change like history a little bit that sounds a little cliche but it's
02:30like this is going to make a difference. Well it's like she's broken every record and now
02:37she's going to affect change within the probate code like it's just if anyone's going to get
02:43out of a conservatorship that people normally would never get out of it's Britney. I got
02:47involved because I felt like not enough people took this issue seriously. I felt like you know
02:54if I didn't go down to the courthouse there weren't going to be enough people at the courthouse. I
02:59mean and you know my philosophy with at that point was it doesn't matter if there was going to be
03:04like five or fifty people in there like you know Britney Spears needed you know people to support
03:12her and to support justice. I think the energy is going to be good and I think that's just the
03:24best we can do um but who knows like today it's been a crazy couple of days who knows really
03:31that's how I'm just I don't know. I am just excited for Britney to get her chance to say what she
03:39wants um and I'm excited to be around everyone too. I'll probably call my grandma. Who's voicemail?
03:47Oh they're talking about Britney on CNN that's what her voicemail says.
03:52We're not here to just free Britney you know I think like people are fighting for
03:55people. It can happen to her so it can happen to anyone. Free Britney.
04:19I got my head shaved also at the last rally. People make a big deal out of it they say like
04:24oh you know she was crazy that's why but during that time she um was postpartum after having two
04:30babies back to back. She um had been hounded by the paparazzi and the media for years. She was
04:37going through a divorce and she was mourning the loss of her aunt and like she needed help. She
04:42didn't need somebody to take away her civil rights and you know we just wanted to make a point and
04:49also you know women can do whatever they want to do with their bodies. They can shave their head.
04:53It's not it's not a big deal. We've never gotten to hear from her. She's been screaming out for
04:58years and finally she's gonna be able to take the mic and that's what I'm excited to hear. That's
05:02why we're here. We are here to support Britney Jean Spears. I'm from Phoenix Arizona. I flew here
05:08yesterday um just for this. Took some days off for work just to come here for Britney.
05:12Um this is obviously a really really big deal as you can see. This is
05:17years in the making. We're just we're ready for Britney to speak. We're ready for Britney's truth.
05:21We're ready for the truth to come out.
05:39I've lied and told the whole world I'm okay and I'm happy. It's a lie. I'm not happy. I can't sleep.
05:45I'm so angry. It's insane and I'm depressed. I cry every day. They are used to me sort of
05:50doing a weekly routine for them and I'm over it. I don't feel like I owe them anything at
05:55this point. They need to be reminded they actually work for me. I want changes and I want changes
06:13going forward. I deserve changes. I just want my life back and it's been 13 years and it's enough.
06:18Ma'am my dad and anyone involved in this conservatorship and my management who played
06:22a huge role in punishing at me ma'am they should be in jail. It is my wish and dream for all of
06:31this to end and I want my life back. This is crazy. This is nuts. Sorry. Wow. So she's really
06:39speaking out on this today and that's like really good. Did you expect something like this? No I
06:44didn't expect this at all. I thought it was going to be super brief like it always is. She talked
06:48about abuse, trauma, isolation, exploitation. That did not sound like somebody that has any trouble
06:57understanding what is going on. Basically everything we knew and been speculating about
07:02for over a year now is exactly right. She said everything she needed to say. She said
07:07this has been abusive. The conservatorship needs to end. She wants her own attorney.
07:12This is still happening. Her family's awful. She wishes she could sue them.
07:17I don't even, I can't even remember everything she said. She said everything. She
07:21sounded strong, confident, empowered and ready to fight and I'm so proud of her. As much as it
07:27sucks I'm so glad that she's been able to open up about it and tell someone about it. I don't think
07:33there's any coming back from this. She spoke. It's going to be everywhere and I'm just super proud of
07:38her. As a fan I just, I'm not getting emotional, but I'm just super proud of her for doing this for
07:46herself.
