Wendy Williams has wished "death to" Britney Spears' parents amid her battle to free herself from their conservatorship.
In an episode of her eponymous television series, which aired on Thursday, June 24, the 59-year-old talk show host discussed the pop icon's recent appeal in court.
An irate Williams spoke out against Jamie and Lynn Spears, stating: "How dare you, Mr. Spears, you had me fooled. And you too, Mrs. Spears. Death to all of them."
According to The Metro, Williams had previously defended Britney relinquishing control of her estate to her parents in an episode that aired back in February.
Williams stated: "I think her father is a good man. I've heard that she still needs to be controlled, and she needs to have someone that’s controlling her finances, and controlling who she is friends with, and where she goes, and what time she's coming in."
Spears has been under her conservatorship since 2008 as a result of concerns regarding her mental state. Her father Jamie has been in charge of her finances and personal affairs and has retained control ever since.
During a virtual appearance at a court hearing held on Wednesday, the 39-year-old 'Toxic' singer told Judge Brenda Penny that her situation had left her severely depressed, and that she believes her father should be jailed over his treatment of her.
Britney stated: "My dad and anyone involved in this conservatorship, including my management […] they should be in jail. I've told the world I'm happy and okay. I lied. I am not happy, I can't sleep. I'm so angry it's insane, and I'm depressed."
She then referenced a previous court hearing regarding her conservatorship back in May 2019, saying:
"The last time I spoke to you [the judge] … it made me feel like I was dead. I am telling you again because I am not lying … so maybe you can understand the depth and the degree and the damages … I deserve changes."
This is the first public statement in over a decade that Spears has made on the subject of her conservatorship — which has been the focus of a number of documentaries in recent months.
