BRITNEY Spears admitted feeling “hopeless” after a judge denied her lawyers request to remove her father as her conservator Monday.
The 39-year-old singer, who is embroiled in a complex legal process to free herself of her conservatorship after 13 years, posted to Instagram soon after the news was made public.
The Gimme More hitmaker shared a video of an avocado toast recipe and revealed her feelings in the caption.
“In a system where I’ve felt completely hopeless for so long, at least I do have a platform to share!!!!” she wrote.
‘KILL THEM WITH KINDNESS’
She continued, “As Selena Gomez says it best – The world can be a nasty place … I know it … you know it … kill them with kindness!!!”
The mom of two then hit out at the “pretty nasty” news about her which she called “horrible and mean lies” before vowing to post less.
Selena, 29, responded almost immediately, showing Britney some love in the comments: “Love you @britneyspears! You’re welcome to come cook with me any time!”
In an earlier post, Britney hit out at those telling her to be cautious about what she shares on social media.
She wrote: “I know in my previous post I said you guys know my situation but LET ME CLARIFY … you only know half of it !!!!
“And for a lot of you who say I should be cautious with what I post … I mean if you REALLY THINK ABOUT IT … with what I’ve been through I believe I been WAAAY TOO CAUTIOUS !!!! One day I will live on the edge !!!! One day …”
SETBACK
Brenda Penny, the judge presiding over Britney’s case, denied her lawyer’s petition to “immediately remove” her father Jamie as her conservator on Monday, The Sun can confirm.
Mathew Rosengart’s request to move the hearing date forward to this month from September 29, was also denied.
The judge appeared to side with Britney’s dad as she “denied without prejudice” the request to change the hearing to an earlier slot.
Britney’s legal team had submitted documents last week stating that each day that passed with her father as the conservator was causing “avoidable harm” to the pop icon.
The docs continued: “Ms. Spears’s emotional health and well-being must be, and are, the paramount concern.
“Further, all interested parties forcefully agree that Mr. Spears’s continued presence as Conservator of the Estate is contrary to Ms. Spears’s best interests, health, and well-being, and that his prompt removal—or, at the very least, his immediate suspension—is ‘critical’ at this juncture.”
The hitmaker’s attorney’s continued to argue, “For a variety of legitimate, compelling reasons in the conservatee’s best interests, the time has come for Mr. Spears’s reign to end.”
This latest setback for Britney of the judge denying the request comes after a tumultuous few days between the singer’s lawyer, her dad Jamie, and her personal conservator Jodi Montgomery.
Jodi recently demanded Jamie “stop the attacks” after he made a slew of allegations about Britney’s mental well-being in new court documents.
Jamie claimed he had a July 9 call with Jodi, during which she allegedly felt Britney was so “mentally sick” she was considering putting her under a psych hold.
‘MISREPRESENTED’
In a new statement, according to People, Jodi fired back to refute his claims, saying this call was being “misrepresented and manipulated.”
According to Jamie, he told her that he’s no longer privy to Britney‘s medical information and wasn’t able to help, which led Jodi to question if putting Britney under a 5150 psychiatric hold would be the best option.
In response, Jodi said she “at no time… express[ed] to Mr. Spears that Ms. Spears would currently qualify for such a hold.”
She added that she feels it’s best for Britney is Jamie relinquishes his role as her conservator and goes “back to just being Ms. Spears’ father, and working on a healthy, supportive father-daughter relationship.”

In his own filings, Jamie said that his “sole motivation has been his unconditional love for his daughter and a fierce desire to protect her from those trying to take advantage of her.”
He added that he also brought Britney’s estate out of major debt and into prosperity, adding he ”dutifully and faithfully served as the Conservator of his daughter’s Estate without any blemishes on his record.”
Continuing, Jamie claimed that he also never denied Britney from going to Hawaii, as her legal team had previously claimed.
