LOS ANGELES — Britney Spears is finally free. An L.A. judge ruled Friday to terminate the controversial conservatorship that has been in place since early 2008, ending the oversight of two conservators who have supervised the pop star’s person and her estate for nearly 14 years.
Judge Brenda J. Penny returned Spears’ legal rights, effective immediately.
The crowd of fans assembled outside Stanley Mosk Courthouse in downtown L.A. reacted immediately with cheers and confetti as the news spread.
The parties will meet in court at a later date to tie up loose financial threads.
