Britney Spears' long-awaited court appearance in her conservatorship battle. Video / TwitterHarrowing new details have emerged about pop star Britney Spears' 13-year conservatorship, with new allegations of mistreatment by Spears' father Jamie and disturbing details about how cut off she has been from the outside world. The new information comes via a harrowing New Yorker expose titled Britney Spears's Conservatorship Nightmare, co-authored by journalists Ronan Farrow and Jia Tolentino. The in-depth read also looks at the mechanism of the conservatorship, which saw Spears' father given control of her life and finances in 2008, shortly after her very public breakdown. Australian rapper Iggy Azalea last week spoke out about her experience working with Spears, making disturbing allegations about behaviour she claims to have witnessed from Britney's father, calling the situation "abusive".
