Brittany out of hospital against doctors advice
Jamie and Lynne Spears said they were "extremely disappointed" to learn their daughter had been released from the hospital over the recommendation of her treating psychiatrist, saying that they are concerned for their daughter’s safety and believe her life is at stake. There are conservatorship orders in place created to protect our daughter that are being blatantly disregarded. We ask only that the court's orders be enforced so that a tragedy may be averted."
Brittany spent the day dodging paparazzi as she drove around Los Angeles in a black Mercedes-Benz with an unidentified man. Paparazzi vehicle her car at each stop. More than 15 people circled the car at one point, shooting still photos and video.
Until Feb. 14, Spears remains under the conservatorship of her father, an arrangement created when a judge determines a person can no longer care for herself or her personal affairs. James Spears was named her conservator Monday, and he and attorney Andrew Wallet were made co-conservators of the estate.
As her conservator, Spears' father has been granted access to all of her medical records and authority to determine where Spears lives and who she sees.
