translated from Spanish: Madonna said Britney Spears’ guardianship “violates human rights”

Madonna likened the guardianship that has controlled Britney Spears’ life for 13 years to slavery and said it “violates human rights,” in a message of support posted Friday on her social media. The “queen of pop” uploaded to her Instagram story (“stories”) a photograph in which she wears a T-shirt with the name of Britney Spears and demands that the guardianship be ended, as the singer pleaded three weeks ago before the courts of Los Angeles (USA).” Give this woman back her life. Slavery was abolished a long time ago! Death to the greedy patriarchy that has been doing this to women for centuries. This is a violation of human rights! Britney we’re going to get you out of jail!” wrote Madonna.Madonna and Britney shared the throne of pop music during the ’90s and early ‘2000s. The first was the “queen” of pop, the second the “princess”. The two collaborated together in 2003 with “Me against the music” and their performance to the rhythm of “Like a Virgin” -emblem of Madonna- in the awards of the MTV network that year, with kiss between the two included, is considered one of the most remembered moments of pop culture. Christina Aguilera, who was also at that performance, already showed her support for Britney days after her statement in court: “The conviction and desperation of this request for freedom lead me to believe that this person I once met has been living without the compassion or decency of those in control. ” Said. Justin Timberlake (Britney’s former partner), Paris Hilton, Elon Musk and Iggy Azalea are several of the celebrities who have publicly supported the “Toxic” singer. The latest reaction since Britney’s intervention is the petition that Lynne Spears, Britney’s mother, has made to the Superior Court of Los Angeles so that her daughter can choose a lawyer to defend her interests. In this way, the mother would side with Britney considering that her current situation is very different from the mental health collapse she suffered in 2008, when she began legal guardianship on a temporary basis at the beginning. However, her father, Jamie Spears, has been the guardian since then and, so far, has not taken any steps to comply with his daughter’s expressed desire to end this legal mechanism. Britney’s parents have been divorced since 2002, and although they reconciled for a while, they lead separate lives. In recent days, several people involved in Britney’s life have resigned: Her former lawyer, her artistic representative and the fund that controlled her $60 million estate.
