During the hearing, Britney detailed her “abusive” conservatorship and argued her father should no longer have control over her life.

Following Wednesdays’ hearing, Jamie’s legal team released a statement that insisted he cares very much about his daughter.

The statement read:  “He is sorry to see his daughter suffering and in so much pain. Mr. Spears loves his daughter very much.”

Jamie, 68, has been in control of the singer’s conservatorship for the past 13 years, which has given him control over her $60 million fortune.

In addition to Britney, Jamie also shares son Bryan, 44, and daughter Jamie Lynn, 30, with ex wife Lynne, 66.

The former couple were married from 1976-2002.

The singer made a number of shocking claims during the hearing,  including that her family sent her to a $60K rehab at a small Los Angeles home.

Britney claimed the people that ran the rehab center were trying to hurt her, while her dad allegedly “loved it.”

She also compared the “abusive” conservatorship to sex trafficking, stating: “In California, the only similar thing to this is called sex trafficking, making anyone work against their will.

“And taking all their possessions away, credit card, cash, phone, passport.”

Britney also criticized her family on how they have handled her conservatorship, stating: “My family didn’t do a God damn thing. 

“Anything I had to do, [my dad] was the one who approved all of it. My whole family did nothing.”

Additionally, the Toxic singer shared she wants to have children with her boyfriend Sam Asghari, 27.

However, she said her conservatorship prevents her from growing her family.

Britney said via audio: “I want to get married and have a baby.

“I wanted to take the IUD out and have a baby but conservator won’t let me because they don’t want me to have a baby.”

The hitmaker has been leaning on Sam during the legal drama, while he has been an outspoken source of support for the star.

Before Britney headed to court on Wednesday, Sam showed his support for the singer by wearing a “Free Britney” T-shirt.

After becoming convinced that Britney has long wanted to be freed from her father’s conservatorship, her fans launched the #FreeBritney campaign and have had online and in-person events for it.

Sam posted a photo of himself wearing a shirt with the campaign name on it on his Instagram Story just ahead of Britney’s court appearance.

Shortly before the star appeared in court via audio, Britney was spotted looking focused at an LA sheriff’s station.

In pictures obtained by The Sun, Britney was spotted on Tuesday exiting the Ventura County Sheriff’s department – which is near her $7.4 million Thousand Oaks, CA home. 

The singer did not appear to be with anyone else but a bodyguard as she walked out of the building in brown platform heels, a white shirt, tiny denim shorts and a long grey cardigan.
