![]() There was a week period where they were nice to me, and I told them I don’t want to do the - They were nice to me, they said if I don’t want to do the new Vegas show, I don’t have to because I was getting really nervous. And I’m nowhere near these stupid people. And he also said I wasn’t taking my medication, which is so dumb, because I’ve had the same lady every morning for the past eight years give me my same medication. Benson - who died - that my manager called him and then that moment and told him I wasn’t cooperating or following the guidelines in rehearsals. I was told by my at-the-time therapist, Dr. Ma’am, I’m not here to be anyone’s slave. And I said no, I don’t want to do it this way.Īfter that, my management, my dancers and my assistant of the new people that were supposed to do the new show all went into a room, shut the door and didn’t come out for at least 45 minutes. ![]() So why are they even claiming that? When I said no to one dance move into rehearsals, it was as if I planted a huge bomb somewhere. They all said I wasn’t participating in rehearsals and I never agreed to take my medication - which my medication is only taken in the mornings, never at rehearsal. It’s funny to hear my managers’ side of the story. I led a room of 16 new dancers in rehearsals. There’s tons of video with me at rehearsals. I actually did most of the choreography, meaning I taught my dancers my new choreography myself. I was basically directing most of the show. Half of the time in the studio and a half of the other time in a Westlake studio. But no, I was told this is the timeline and this is how it’s going to go. I started rehearsing early, but it was hard because I’d been doing Vegas for four years and I needed a break in between. When I came off that tour, a new show in Las Vegas was supposed to take place. So out of fear, I went ahead and I did the tour. And with the conservatorship, I couldn’t even get my own attorney. He handed me a sheet of paper as I got off the stage in Vegas and said I had to sign it. I was forced to do… My management said if I don’t do this tour, I will have to find an attorney, and by contract my own management could sue me if I didn’t follow through with the tour. The people who did this to me should not be able to walk away so easily. ![]() Spears, I hate to interrupt you, but my court reporter is taking down what you’re saying, so you have to speak a little more slowly. I was forced to do… My management said if I don’t do this tour, I will have to find an attorney. The people who did that to me should not be able to walk away so easily. I brought four sheets of paper in my hands and wrote in length what I had been through the last four months before I came there. I haven’t been back to court in a long time, because I don’t think I was heard on any level when I came to court the last time. Basically, a lot has happened since two years ago, the last time - I wrote all this down - the last time I was in court. I just got a new phone, and I have a lot to say, so bear with me. It includes run-on sentences and unclear statements, but the context seems relevant: A lightly edited transcript of Britney Spears’ statement follows.
