“Although the guardianship ended in November 2021, Your desire for total freedom is now truly complete“said Spears’ lawyer, Mathew S. Rosengart in a statement to the magazine People. “As she wished, her freedom now includes that you will no longer need to attend or be involved with court or entangled in legal proceedings in this matter,” he added.
