Attorneys for Britney Spears' mother, Lynne Spears, said in a court filing this week that the pop star has been "able to care" for herself for years and asked the court to "listen to the wishes of her daughter."
In the court filing obtained by Buzzfeed News, Lynne Spears asked the court to allow Britney Spears to hire her own attorney in her conservatorship case.
"Now, and for the past many years, [Britney Spears] is able to care for her person and in fact has, inside of the parameters of this conservatorship, earned literally hundreds of millions of dollars as an international celebrity," the court filing said.
