On Wednesday, pop icon Britney Spears petitioned for her release from the conservatorship that has kept her activities and financial assets under the control of her father, Jamie Spears, since 2008. During a court appearance for a hearing in her case, Spears said via telephone,"I'm not happy. I'm so angry it's insane, and I'm depressed. I cry every day."

In her testimony, Spears recounted physical and emotional hardships she said she'd been forced to endure under the court-mandated conservatorship. Among them, she alleged that her family had forced her to perform in Las Vegas with a high fever, placed her on a lithium treatment that made her feel "drunk" and insisted she continue to use an IUD to prevent pregnancy.
