As she exploded into fame, Britney lost all privacy in her personal life as she was constantly swarmed by paparazzi covering her every move. As pressure grew, Spears’ independence was stripped even further when she was subjected into entering a conservatorship under Father’s supervision.

Host Jake Brennan breaks it all down in the most recent episode of the Digraceland podcast. Tune in above.
