A former pop star once under a decade-long legal conservatorship has regained full control of their personal and financial affairs after a landmark court decision in 2021. The ruling marks a significant shift for an artist whose career was overshadowed by the restrictive guardianship, raising questions about the ethics of such arrangements in entertainment. Legal experts and advocates have since debated the broader implications for vulnerable individuals in similar situations. The case also reignites discussions about celebrity rights and the balance between protection and autonomy.


The "Gimme More" hitmaker was released from a 13-year conservatorship in 2021.
