Madonna showed support for her onetime collaborator Britney Spears on Thursday night (July 8), writing on her Instagram story that the justice system needs to “give this woman her life back.”
Over a photo of herself wearing a Britney T-shirt, Madonna posted this message: “Give this woman her life back. Slavery was abolished so long ago! Death to the greedy patriarchy that has been doing this to women for centuries. This is a violation of human rights! Britney we coming to get you out of jail!”
Madonna is joining a chorus of pop stars rallying around Spears as she fights to end the 13-year conservatorship that has controlled her finances and personal life.
Spears previously collaborated with Madonna on the Dance Club Songs chart-topper “Me Against the Music” in 2003 and, of course, shared an infamous onstage kiss at the MTV Video Music Awards that same year.
