During her lengthy appearance, Britney compared her life to "sex trafficking", saying: "In California, the only similar thing to this is called sex trafficking. Making anyone work against their will, taking all their possessions away — credit card, cash, phone, passport — and placing them in a home where they work with the people who live with them.

"They all lived in the house with me, the nurses, the 24-7 security. There was one chef that came there and cooked for me daily during the weekdays. They watched me change every day — naked – morning, noon and night. My body – I had no privacy door for my room. I gave eight vials of blood a week."

Opening up about her past social media posts, in which she has admitted that she was "OK" and "happy", she confessed to the judge: "And that's why I'm telling you this again two years later, after I've lied and told the whole world 'I'm OK and I'm happy.' It's a lie.
"I thought just maybe if I said that enough maybe I might become happy, because I've been in denial. I've been in shock. I am traumatized. You know, fake it till you make it. But now I'm telling you the truth, OK? I'm not happy. I can't sleep. I'm so angry it's insane. And I'm depressed. I cry every day."
Pleading the judge to end her conservatorship, she added: "I want changes, and I want changes going forward. I deserve changes."
"I just want my life back. And it's been 13 years. And it's enough. It's been a long time since I've owned my money."

Following her statement, the judge praised Britney for her "courage" in speaking out.
"I just want to tell you that I certainly am sensitive to everything that you said and how you're feeling and I know that it took a lot of courage for you to say everything you have to say today, and I want to let you know that the court does appreciate your coming on the line and sharing how you're feeling," she said.
