Britney Spears issued a lengthy statement asking her family to "take responsibility for their actions", with her mum Lynne Spears responding by pleading for forgiveness.
The 67-year-old issued a public apology for any "pain" her daughter endured during her controversial 13-year-conservatorship. Britney, 40, had been under a conservatorship – ran by her father Jamie Spears since 2008 – and endured a long fight to have the conservatorship removed.
The conservatorship finally came to an end in November last year, with the pop star saying getting her freedom was the "best day ever".
