Britney Spears became a hyper sexualized music industry mannequin at only 15 years old. After a 'break-down' in 2008, she was placed under a conservatorship of her father. Her team of handlers 13 years later has increased their control of the pop-star, directing her medication, including lithium, what she can eat, who she can see and even her reproduction through a forced IUD. After her appeal to the court for her freedom was rejected, many fans, and other celebrities, still call for her release. What many don't realize though is that this is happening, under legal constraints or not, to countless other women and men, including children, in the music/entertainment industry. They are traumatized, abused, drugged, enslaved and robbed of their talent, most often without ever having a court intervene.
