Britney Spears has vowed to sue her father for "abuse" after finally being freed from a 13-year conservatorship.
On Friday, November 12, a judge put an end to the conservatorship that has controlled the singer's personal, professional and financial matters for more than 13 years.
Taking to social media as hundreds of fans celebrated the news outside an LA courtroom, the singer thanked fans who spearheaded the 'Free Britney' movement.
"Good God I love my fans so much it's crazy," she wrote alongside the video. "I think I'm gonna cry the rest of the day!!!! Best day ever … praise the Lord … can I get an Amen????"
The popstar also used the hashtag #FreedBritney, a new spin on the #FreeBritney tagline associated with her fans who had been trying to bring attention to her experience living under the legal guardianship since 2008.
Yesterday a source familiar with the case confirmed the 39-year-old had hired forensic accountants and intended to sue her father Jamie for "conservatorship abuse".
"She blames her father for, effectively, ruining her life for the past 13 years," a source told Daily Mail. "He had total control over everything from her finances to whether she could have more babies."
"She's mad as hell and you can expect to see a lawsuit filed against Jamie Spears very soon."
Earlier this year, the 'Toxic' singer, 39, asked Judge Brenda Penny to terminate the controversial arrangement, which was set up by her father Jamie in 2008 at the height of her mental health struggles.
The decision to end the guardianship comes after Jamie, 69, was removed from his position as conservator in September as the court sought a complete end to the conservatorship.
This past summer, the #FreeBritney movement came to a head as the singer spoke out publicly against her father and the conservatorship in an explosive court testimony.
In the first hearing on June 23, in which the 'Gimme More' chart-topper appeared virtually, Britney referred to the conservatorship as "abusive".
She told the judge she had been prohibited from getting married and having a baby and was not permitted to remove her IUD.
Britney even said that her father and "anyone involved in this conservatorship" should be incarcerated. She also claimed that she was "forced to take Lithium" as a "punishment".
In another court appearance on July 16, Britney told the judge that she has "always been scared" of her dad's drinking.
