00:24I'm a Sagittarius. I'm very keen on freedom.

00:31I am a Sagittarius.

00:33I am a Sagittarius.

00:37When people talk about my private life, I know that as a celebrity, that's what goes along with what you do.

00:43Just say it's none of your business.

00:45I am a Sagittarius.

00:48I am a Sagittarius.

01:56Britney needs to know that she still has her fan

01:58Leave Britney alone!

02:01Benny Spins, hope you're doing okay.

02:05Hope you get some help.

02:15If I wasn't under the restraints that I'm under right now, you know,

02:18with all the lawyers and doctors and people analyzing me every day,

02:23I feel so liberated and feel like myself.

02:28I feel like I'm free.

02:58I feel like I'm free.

03:00They're keeping her hostage and it's no good for anybody.

03:30I feel like I'm free.

04:01On Instagram, a user commented saying,

04:04if you need help, post a picture of some flowers.

04:07One hour after that comment was made, she posted a picture with flowers.

04:11Wait a minute. What is she pointing to right there on her hat?

04:15I zoomed in and that literally says help.

04:20People are posting in the comments.

04:21They're saying wear yellow in your next video and blink twice if you need help.

04:25So she does both in the next video.

04:31Free Britney.

04:33It's time she gets to be free and live her life on her terms.

04:37I am wearing this shirt because we all love her.

04:40Like Britney is, I've always been a Britney fan.

04:44The reason I'm here is to show support for Britney, for one,

04:48and that I agree with a lot of the claims made by the movement.

05:13The day has finally come.

05:24We are nearing the end of the evil conservatorship.

05:33But now I'm telling you the truth, OK?

05:35I'm not happy. I can't sleep.

05:37I'm so angry. It's insane. And I'm depressed.

05:40I truly believe this conservatorship is abusive.

05:50My firm and I are moving aggressively and expeditiously to file a petition to remove Jamie Spears.

06:07Britney Spears has been faced with a decade-long nightmare,

06:12a Kafkaesque nightmare orchestrated by her father and others.

06:17Jamie Spears has been suspended and he will be formally removed shortly.

06:27Jamie Spears and others are going to face even more serious ramifications

06:36for his misconduct.
