Struggles and Mental Health Challenges
In the years following her divorce, Spears faced a number of personal challenges. Her highly publicized breakdown in 2007–2008 included hospitalizations and legal battles surrounding custody of her children. These events led to a court-ordered conservatorship in 2008, placing her father, Jamie Spears, in control of her personal and financial affairs. The conservatorship sparked widespread public debate and eventually led to the #FreeBritney movement, with many fans advocating for her autonomy.
