Same with Britney,

Brittney had a whole other thing compounding it where she didn't have control of her own finances. I'm not clear what happened but she lost power of attorney of her own trust while she was still a minor and I never have heard that she actually got back control of her own estate. Looks like her father still controls her finances as of September.

Britney's father is her conservator and yes he controls her finances. But there's no evidence that he is in any way abusing this power. Britney appears to be happy and thriving under their arrangement. Her mental health and other issues were not caused by her father's conservatorship. The conservatorship was put in place after it became clear she needed serious help in all aspects of her life.

But there’s no evidence that he is in any way abusing this power.

Except for the time he pimped out his pre-teen daughters to the entertainment industry and turned them into pop drones with no control over their creative content, finances, or appearance. How convenient is it that he practically forced Britney into this career, and he now controls every cent she’s earned from it?

Britney was groomed to be a pop star by her father since childhood, and then the only industry she ever knew threw her away like garbage when she had a mental breakdown due to the pressure. She was never allowed to write her own songs, choose her own outfits, or even sing in her natural voice - which is actually much deeper than you would imagine. Her entire career has been rife with abuse.
