        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aubrey O&#8217;Day is taking issue with the #FreeBritney movement, the fan-led conspiracy theory that claims Britney Spears is trapped in a conservatorship against her will.</p><p>O&#8217;Day, 36, <a href="https://twitter.com/AubreyODay/status/1286492984070963200">tweeted on Thursday</a>, &#8220;I’m having a hard time believing Britney’s dad has her held prisoner in front of random yellow walls making her talk nonsense w retainers in like the last video she posted. is there no possibility that she is sincerely sick &amp; this movement is fans that can’t come to terms w that?&#8221;</p><p>The Danity Kane singer was referencing a video Spears, 38, <strong>posted on Instagram</strong> on Thursday, in which she answered questions like what is her favorite Disney movie, while standing in front of a yellow backdrop.</p><p>&#8220;Answering some more of your questions,&#8221; the &#8220;Toxic&#8221; singer captioned the clip. &#8220;Ps if I sound like I have a lisp it’s because I just got a retainer 😜💋👄 !!!!&#8221;</p><p>In response to O&#8217;Day&#8217;s tweet, one Spears super-fan wrote, &#8220;Having mental health issues does not warrant someone being stripped of their human rights jfc. The way y’all are actually further stigmatizing mental illness by assuming that it’s ok for people like her to have their freedom stripped from them says quite a lot about you, not her.&#8221;</p><p>In response to some of the criticism, O&#8217;Day clarified in a series of tweets that she recognized the damaging role the music industry can play on an artist&#8217;s mental health.</p><p>&#8220;I was in a group with a few artists who admit they weren’t built for this industry, and much of it hurt them deeply,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/AubreyODay/status/1286496395298402304">she tweeted</a>. &#8220;I just think turning her obvious mental health issues into a conspiracy prison isn’t helping her or others in this place.</p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/CDAUJiEgEsG/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="12" ><p><script src="https://platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js" async="async"></script> <strong> <svg width="50px" height="50px" viewBox="0 0 60 60" version="1.1" xmlns="https://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><g stroke="none" stroke-width="1" fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd"><g transform="translate(-511.000000, -20.000000)" fill="#000000"><g><path d="M556.869,30.41 C554.814,30.41 553.148,32.076 553.148,34.131 C553.148,36.186 554.814,37.852 556.869,37.852 C558.924,37.852 560.59,36.186 560.59,34.131 C560.59,32.076 558.924,30.41 556.869,30.41 M541,60.657 C535.114,60.657 530.342,55.887 530.342,50 C530.342,44.114 535.114,39.342 541,39.342 C546.887,39.342 551.658,44.114 551.658,50 C551.658,55.887 546.887,60.657 541,60.657 M541,33.886 C532.1,33.886 524.886,41.1 524.886,50 C524.886,58.899 532.1,66.113 541,66.113 C549.9,66.113 557.115,58.899 557.115,50 C557.115,41.1 549.9,33.886 541,33.886 M565.378,62.101 C565.244,65.022 564.756,66.606 564.346,67.663 C563.803,69.06 563.154,70.057 562.106,71.106 C561.058,72.155 560.06,72.803 558.662,73.347 C557.607,73.757 556.021,74.244 553.102,74.378 C549.944,74.521 548.997,74.552 541,74.552 C533.003,74.552 532.056,74.521 528.898,74.378 C525.979,74.244 524.393,73.757 523.338,73.347 C521.94,72.803 520.942,72.155 519.894,71.106 C518.846,70.057 518.197,69.06 517.654,67.663 C517.244,66.606 516.755,65.022 516.623,62.101 C516.479,58.943 516.448,57.996 516.448,50 C516.448,42.003 516.479,41.056 516.623,37.899 C516.755,34.978 517.244,33.391 517.654,32.338 C518.197,30.938 518.846,29.942 519.894,28.894 C520.942,27.846 521.94,27.196 523.338,26.654 C524.393,26.244 525.979,25.756 528.898,25.623 C532.057,25.479 533.004,25.448 541,25.448 C548.997,25.448 549.943,25.479 553.102,25.623 C556.021,25.756 557.607,26.244 558.662,26.654 C560.06,27.196 561.058,27.846 562.106,28.894 C563.154,29.942 563.803,30.938 564.346,32.338 C564.756,33.391 565.244,34.978 565.378,37.899 C565.522,41.056 565.552,42.003 565.552,50 C565.552,57.996 565.522,58.943 565.378,62.101 M570.82,37.631 C570.674,34.438 570.167,32.258 569.425,30.349 C568.659,28.377 567.633,26.702 565.965,25.035 C564.297,23.368 562.623,22.342 560.652,21.575 C558.743,20.834 556.562,20.326 553.369,20.18 C550.169,20.033 549.148,20 541,20 C532.853,20 531.831,20.033 528.631,20.18 C525.438,20.326 523.257,20.834 521.349,21.575 C519.376,22.342 517.703,23.368 516.035,25.035 C514.368,26.702 513.342,28.377 512.574,30.349 C511.834,32.258 511.326,34.438 511.181,37.631 C511.035,40.831 511,41.851 511,50 C511,58.147 511.035,59.17 511.181,62.369 C511.326,65.562 511.834,67.743 512.574,69.651 C513.342,71.625 514.368,73.296 516.035,74.965 C517.703,76.634 519.376,77.658 521.349,78.425 C523.257,79.167 525.438,79.673 528.631,79.82 C531.831,79.965 532.853,80.001 541,80.001 C549.148,80.001 550.169,79.965 553.369,79.82 C556.562,79.673 558.743,79.167 560.652,78.425 C562.623,77.658 564.297,76.634 565.965,74.965 C567.633,73.296 568.659,71.625 569.425,69.651 C570.167,67.743 570.674,65.562 570.82,62.369 C570.966,59.17 571,58.147 571,50 C571,41.851 570.966,40.831 570.82,37.631"></path></g></g></g></svg> View this post on Instagram </strong></p><p ><strong>A post shared by Britney Spears (@britneyspears)</strong> on <time  datetime="2020-07-24T00:36:13+00:00">Jul 23, 2020 at 5:36pm PDT</time></p></blockquote><p>However, others agreed with the former &#8220;Making the Band&#8221; star that fans don&#8217;t know what is really going on behind-the-scenes.</p><p>I believe two things can be true here,&#8221; one person said. &#8220;I believe her situation may have some corruption (on the lawyers/management side), however I do believe that we don’t know enough about her mental health (nor have the right to know) to have a true understanding.&#8221;</p><p>Spears&#8217; older brother Bryan <strong>broke his silence</strong> this week, and helped shed light on his sister&#8217;s situation. &#8220;It&#8217;s very frustrating to have,&#8221; he said of the conservatorship <strong>on the &#8220;As Not Seen on TV&#8221; podcast</strong>. &#8220;Whether someone&#8217;s coming in peace to help or coming in with an attitude, having someone constantly tell you to do something has got to be frustrating.&#8221;</p><p>However, the 43-year-old added that his family is in agreement that they &#8220;made the right choice.&#8221;</p><p>Spears has been in a conservatorship under her father, Jamie Spears, since 2008. He stepped away last September due to health reasons, but Jodi Pais Montgomery is currently serving as Spears’ conservator until Aug. 22.</p><p>The pop star&#8217;s mom, Lynne Spears, <strong>filed legal documents last week</strong>&nbsp;petitioning to be included in all future conservatorship decisions.</p>]]></content:encoded>
