162. Overprotected: Conservatorships, 5150s and Britney Spears (re-release)

Written By Alienist Entertainment

On the heels of the release of Britney Spears' memoir, The Woman in Me, and finally getting to hear from her directly, we wanted to re-release this episode form 2021 to help better understand what conservatorships are and how they are supposed to work.

We cover California conservatorships and psychiatric holds (5150 WIC). Who can this happen to and is a mental health crisis the only path to conservatorship? What are the checks and balances? The docs dissect the timeline of Britney Spears' tragic saga after the 2021 release of the New York Times documentary, Framing Britney Spears.
