Kim Kardashian West's recent Instagram posts have been flooded with comments from fans of Britney Spears, asking her to speak out on the singer's ongoing conservatorship.
On June 23, Spears spoke at a public hearing about the conservatorship she has been under since 2007, calling it "abusive". She told the judge she had been put on medication against her wishes and was being prevented from having more children and getting married, saying, "I just want my life back."
The court-sanctioned order gave Spears' father Jamie Spears full control over her financial affairs after she struggled with mental health issues. The agreement has been a topic of much discussion among Spears' fans for several years, who started the movement known as "Free Britney."
Spears' situation burst into public consciousness after a New York Times documentary "Framing Britney Spears" aired in February 2021, followed by Spears' own testimony in court and an investigative report from Ronan Farrow and Jia Tolentino published this weekend in the New Yorker which recounted allegations that her family and managers had been abusing their power over her.
Kardashian West, who has been friends with Spears in the past, has not yet joined the likes of Paris Hilton, Miley Cyrus, and Justin Timberlake in publicly condemning the conservatorship and showing support for Spears. Spears' fans have noticed and have invaded her Instagram comments sections with the hashtag #FreeBritney, urging her to speak up.
Kardashian West has yet to address the situation. However, Closer reported on June 29 that Kardashian West — who is studying to be a lawyer — had offered her legal expertise to Spears in private.
"She reached out to Britney as soon as she read her statement," a source reportedly told the outlet. "Kim knows she's going through hell and that her situation is like a jail sentence. She's let her know she'd do whatever she could to help her win her battle. Having such a high-profile name attached to the legal team would give Britney's case even more publicity."
They added that Spears had given Kardashian West "the green light" and "really appreciates her support."
Insider has reached out to Kardashian West's representatives for comment.
