Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny ruled that Matthew Rosengart can represent Spears.

[As previously reported](https://humanevents.com/2021/07/01/judge-denies-britney-spears-request-to-end-fathers-role-in-conservatorship/) by *Human Events News,* just three weeks ago, Britney Spears described the trauma she has endured under her conservatorship for the first time in Court.

“I’ve been in denial. I’ve been in shock. I am traumatized,” Spears said in a 23-minute speech that was played to the courtroom. “I just want my life back.”

In the time since her court address, Spears has garnered nationwide support, as the #FreeBritney movement has taken over social media.

The movement has even gone political, with lawmakers from both sides of the aisle showing their support for the pop star.
