Britney Spears will be testifying in a Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday June 23, opposing her father's domination on her life.
The 40 year old pop singer was placed under a conservatorship in 2008, but what does that really mean?
A conservatorship is a legal arrangement that intends to manage and protect a person's finance and daily life, who is limited by physical or mental limitations.
In other words, the last 13 years of Britney’s life has been controlled predominately by her father James Spears.
James has the power to restrict Britney’s visitors, distribute restraining orders, reject a marital request and have a major influence on many of her other life decisions.
While this does sound super harsh, surely none of us can forget the singer’s iconic meltdown during a custody battle with her ex-husband Kevin Federline in which she shaved her hair.
Or the time she attacked a cameraman's car with her umbrella and was sentenced to a psychiatric ward.
But maybe it’s these mistakes and learning experiences that make the big celebrity human?
