Lets go outfront. And good evening. Im erin burnett. The Breaking News, it is a race against time this hour. Rescuers in florida desperately searching for nearly 100 people still unaccounted for after a condo high rise just collapsed this morning. New video that we just got moments ago here shows a frantic effort under way by rescuers. This video is in the flooded basement of that building. The Building Collapsed, you see those collapse marks, and in that basement, people still desperately searching in surf side, florida, just north of miami beach. In there risking their lives to try to save others, because the situation is growing more dire by the moment. 99 people are unaccounted for at this hour. Thats a number thats been going up throughout the day, as more people realized a loved one could be inside. Only one person is confirmed dead. No survivors have been found since the collapse happened 17 hours ago. Surveillance video shows that horrifying moment the building came crashing down early this morning as dawn was coming. Local Officials Say the 12 floors of the building literally pancaked, and you can see it from that surveillance video, obviously, about that fulllength Football Field away. They still have no idea how such a thing happened. I just had a chance to view the site up close, and, i mean, the humanity that you see, the daily lives, the evidence of just People Living their daily lives and that everything, everything evaporated in an instant, its just its enormously devastating. Rescuers have been able to save 37 people, including a 10yearold boy. The boy you see here pulled out of the rubble. The man who first found that boy describing the moment when he heard the child yelling out for help. He was just screaming, dont leave me, dont leave me, dont leave me. So we wanted to stay with him to make sure we got fire and police over there. So i was able to signal a Police Officer using the flashlight of my phone. They got up to him. He got a perspective, and then he got fire over there to start digging him out. No word yet on the boys family. But there are so many families holding out hope that their loved ones could still be okay. Im going to speak to a man who was looking for his mother and grandmother. But first, i want to go to surf side, florida, and rosa flores, who was there. So rosa, we just showed that video just in. Theyre in the basement there trying to drill. Everything they desperately can do to try to find people who may be alive. Are they still hopeful there are survivors . Reporter erin, they are. Right now, the focus is the Search And Rescue mission. Those moments like you just described where firefighters are shoring up that building to go inside looking for signs of life. At this hour, according to local authorities, one person has died, 102 people have been accounted for. And firefighters are on a mission to find 99 others. These images appear to show the moment that a 12story high rise partially collapsed in surf side, florida thursday morning. A wife with three or four children. 2, 6, and 9. We just hope im just asking god, because theyre in the affected area. Reporter a massive Search And Rescue operation under way for survivors among the rubble of champlain tower south. Reporter at least one person is dead, and ten injured, Officials Say. 99 people are still unaccounted for. The rescuers are hearing sounds from the rubble. Its kind of hit or miss. You get into a zone where youre so passionate and so focused and so just determined to make sure youre doing Everything Possible to save a life in an event like this. Reporter this 10yearold was lucky to get out alive. This man spotted the boy between the rubble and alerted rescuers. I saw an arm sticking out of the wreckage. He was screaming, can you see me . Reporter another resident narrowly escaped. I looked down the hallway, its a very long hallway, probably a hundred yards, 75 yards, and there was nothing there. It was just a pile of dust and rubble. Reporter while the cause of the collapse remains unclear, work had been taking place on the roof. There was work on the building being done to meet the 40year standard. Its not to say what the cause is. Reporter and the nature of the collapse, complicating rescue efforts. The problem is, the building has literally pancaked. Theres just feet in between stories where there were ten feet. Reporter a nearby 50unit hotel also evacuated. The alarms went off, it just got louder. Everybody started to panic, and we grabbed children and started running out the door. Reporter for now, the focus is on providing survivors with the support they so desperately need. We still have hope to identify additional survivors. And the state of florida, were offering any assistance that we can. Reporter according to the miamidade fire rescue, firefighters have not been able to hear voices in the rubble as theyre searching. But they have been hearing bangs. That, of course, signs of life. No word yet on what caused this collapse. But at some point, the Miamidade Police department will be taking over to figure out what exactly went horribly belong. Thank you very much, rosa. Im joined now by pablo rodriguez. His mother lives in the building. His grandmother had been staying with her, and they are both missing tonight. Pablo, first of all, im so sorry for what youre going through today. You know, how do you even grasp the reality of whats happening . I know theyre desperately searching. Theyre doing everything they can to find survivors. What is the latest youre hearing about the efforts to find your mother and your grand mother . To be honest, erin, we havent heard anything. We went to the Community Center this morning, gave her information. Both of their information, and we havent heard anything from anyone. Weve called in, we still cant get any information. They were in the section that completely collapsed in the first tower collapsed. So were not exactly very hopeful. But were not getting any information right now. Umm, im just so sorry. I know there were sounds from the rubble earlier today, and look, some people might be injured or not able to speak, but alive. I know you said its hard to be hopeful given where they were in the building. But do you still have hope that they may be rescued alive . You always hold out hope. You know, until we definitively know, we are trying to stay hopeful. But after seeing the video of the collapse, its increasingly difficult, because they were in that section that was pancaked in. And the first section that fell in, and then the other building fell on top of it. So its not not easy to watch. I know your mom told you yesterday that she woke up in the middle of the night, and she heard noises. And she for her to mention this to you obviously, you know, in the context of everything being seemingly normal, she was worried enough to tell you about it. What did she say . What was she worried significant she just told me she had woken up around 3 00, 4 00 in the morning and heard like Creaking Noises, just like sort of Creaking Noises. They were loud enough to wake her up, but that was it. I just thought it was nothing. She just didnt sleep well, and that was it. So she didnt really pay any attention to it either. It was like a comment that she made off hand, like thats why she woke up and she wasnt able to go back to sleep afterwards. But now in hindsight, you always wonder. Yeah. I mean, youre right, had nothing happened, you wouldnt think anything of it. But you realize you dont hear that in a building like that. Umm, pablo, we were showing pictures of you, you know, your family, your mom, your grandmother. You were in washington, and thats where you had all just gotten back from. Your mother, grandmother were going to take your son to lunch today. You had a big birthday coming up for your grandmother in a few weeks. You were living life, finally after yeah, you were living life. Finally getting back to normal after the pandemic. We had gone up to d. C. To visit my brother, because he lives up there. Then we went over to philadelphia for a couple of days. It was a great trip with my mom. We got back last saturday, and then today they were going to go pick him up to take him out to lunch. You know, they came over every single weekend to spend the day with him. So its my son its going to be difficult. I mean, are you even able to grapple with what has happened here . I mean, this is just this is something that no person would ever even comprehend or imagine happening. Its hard to explain. Its waves of devastation with troughs of disbelief. Its just one second, you know, youre overwhelmed. Its really difficult not to break down now. And then, you know, another you get a semblance of normalcy, because you just see, well, its impossible. This doesnt happen. Buildings dont just collapse. Its not real. So its been like that all day. Pablo, i am so sorry. I know i, like everyone, holds out that hope. I understand youre being realistic about it, but that hope that you do get a miracle. I appreciate that. Were praying for a miracle. But at the same time, trying to be as realistic about it as possible. But yes, until we definitively know there is hope, you know, its just dwindling by the minute. Pablo, thank you very much. Thank you, erin. Jimmy is a State Fire Marshal who has been on the ground coordinating the emergency response. Jimmy, i dont know if you could hear pablo. Just the devastation that families are facing here. And i know your teams are doing everything they can to humanly do. Theyre in the basement, doing everything they can to save a life. I mention 8d you had heard some sounds from the rubble earlier today. At this point are there any signs there could still be survivors trapped . Well, the men and women of Task Force One and miamidade fire rescue, our boots on the ground, there were almost 50 different departments that responded at 1 30 in the morning last night. They have been working nonstop. The Task Force Working right now, theyre a fema task force. They get deployed all over the world. What youll see at 7 00 at night will be the greatest effort. Well have over 80 men and women that will be working with other departments all at the same time to save lives. They wont stop until the mission is over. I know youre using every device you can, Sonar Devices among others to hear any activity under the ground. Can you tell me what all the rescuers are doing right now . So the men and women that are working right now, they can only work in 15minute shifts. The level of exhaustion is enormous. They are carrying 80 pounds worth of gear, protective equipment, theyre carrying concrete saws. It has to be used manually pause of the sheer threat of the building that is unstable, as they are crawling under debris to save lives. What is is the greatest challenge for you at this point . I understand what youre saying there, but about 15 minutes in and out, that has to be incredibly difficult. So, you know, i would say the greatest challenge is the pace these men have to keep, these women have to keep. But they sign up for the job. Theyre amazing human beings. The best ive seen in humanity is whats happening behind me. And the equipment thats been here on the ground, whether its valentines day, christmas, new years, you name it. When you dial 911, these men and women show up and respond. Thats what theyve been doing since 1 30 in the morning. So the greatest challenge is to stay focused and what youre going to see tomorrow morning is the task force from tampa and st. Petersburg, the task force here from jacksonville. Theyre going to be coming to back up these guys so they can get a break, because they peer not going to stop until every life that can be saved is saved. Marshal patronis, thank you so much. Thank you. And next, the question, what could cause a florida high rise, built in 1981, to just collapse like a pancake in the Early Morning . Were there any Warning Signs .

Officials do not know what caused that deadly collapse of a 12story residential building in surf side, florida. Right now were getting in new video of what the building looks like right now. Literally as if it were sliced down the middle. Just a you can see, that would have been an hvac and its just boom, right off the middle. Search for survivors is still under way. Right now, one person is confirmed dead, but 99 people are unaccounted for tonight. After the Search And Rescue is over, officials will focus on the cause of the collapse. This is of crucial import to this building, to buildings nearby. To people everywhere. Outfront now, the director of Florida International universitys law school of construction, infrastructure and sustainability. Hes a specialist in high rises. In other words, professor, this is what you know. Have you ever seen anything like this just happen before . You know, erin, this is a very rare kind of event that tykes place. These kind of collapses dont take place just every day. And so i have seen some collapses, the collapse of the building in Oklahoma City comes to mind. But in this case, i think there is a number of factors that could have contributed to this collapse. And its going to take some time. I know theres a natural tendency that people want to find out the exact cause of the collapse right away. But the way the Structural Engineer approaches these types of problems is we collect all the data, and we have the tools and the knowledge that we can simulate these scenarios in the computer and pinpoint exactly what caused the collapse. So i understand completely what youre saying, but of course, youre looking at high rise buildings all around this, and the mayor just told cnn theres what he called a Sister Building A Block away, but he says its unimaginable that this would happen again. Of course, now its not unimaginable to anybody, anybody. It may be to you from an engineering perspective. Thats my question, how concerned are you that this could happen to another building nearby that may be in the same, you know, the same sand . You know what, that depends on what the outcome of the investigation is. Lets say, for example, if the outcome of the investigation is that its because of the settlement, say that might have caused the foundation, then you need to take a look at the other similar buildings sitting in the same kind of foundation and so on. My feeling is that usually a collapse like this doesnt happen just because of one factor. Usually its several factors combined, and its like a perfect storm. Every collapse that i have seen, its not just one factor, there are several factors that take place. And in this particular case, i mean, the investigators are going to have to look at from the design, from the construction, the foundation system. And once all the data is collected, theyre going to have to simulate this thing and pinpoint. My feeling is the biggest lesson we are going to get out of this collapse is that we are going to have to inspect certain high rise buildings located in certain locations more frequently. Yes. I think in the case of the bridge structures, for example, because of the collapse that took place in 1967, in west virginia, we inspect every bridge in the u. S. Every two years. We dont have to do that in the case of the buildings. But we need to do some inspection, some aspect of the building, maybe every five years or so. I think thats going to be the biggest lesson that will come out of this collapse. But we have to wait. I think the biggest thing that the biggest message that i can send is that there is a natural tendency, we have to give it time to people who are investigating these things. And do a good job, trying to identify exactly what happened. And then the next step is what changes do we need to incorporate our building code, the way we construct them, the way we inspect them. Because the safety of the public is the number one issue. As it should be. Of course, now people have a lot of fear, as this desperate search continues. Professor, i appreciate your time. Thank you tonight. And next, Breaking News. Well, infrastructure, whats happening in washington. And now Police Reform, moving ahead. What does it mean for other issues that biden said were crucial . Plus, alarm and regrets over the rapid strain of the delta strain of the coronavirus across the United States and its effects. I hope people do think about getting the vaccination.

Breaking news on joe biden, breakthroughs tonight on two major priorities for him. Moments ago, congresswoman karen bass, cory booker and tim scott announcing they have reached an agreement on a framework for Bipartisan Police reform. This just hours after biden announced a Bipartisan Senate agreement on a sweeping 1. 2 trillion infrastructure plan. Saying the deal will create millions of jobs, he says it also show there is is still hope for democracy. Neither side got everything they wanted in this deal. Thats what it means to compromise. And it reflects something important, it reflects consensus. The heart of democracy requires consensus. As we reaffirm once again, we are the United States of america. Chief White House CorrespondentKaitlan Collins and manu raju are covering the developments tonight. Kaitlan, for biden, these are two huge breakthroughs on agenda items, infrastructure and Police Reform. Biden also delivering on one of his Major Campaign promises here. Yeah, bipartisanship. I think the white house is still waiting to see whats happening with this framework on the Police Reform deal. Clearly theyre feeling very good about the Infrastructure Deal today, because you saw biden come out and officially endorse it. So its still not clear that it is going to pass both chambers of congress, make it to his desk. Just the idea that you saw joe biden come out with this Bipartisan Group and talk about this really does speak to what he said all along, he said he wanted to get done if he did make it into the white house. And even today when he was speaking in the east room about this deal, not just the outlines of it, how they want to pay for it and what they want to get done with it, he talked about the fact that there were democrats who encouraged him to stop negotiating with republicans. He said he remained in those negotiations and had his team keep talking to them about it. Clearly he believes thats a follow through of what he said he believed could happen. So the question is, how do they get everyone else on board and what does it look like when they take it to the Broader Group on capitol hill. Manu, what can you tell us about the Breaking News that just happened here by the bipartisan outline for Police Reform, which just crossed in the past few moments. Karen bass and tim scott leading that. Reporter yeah, its different, rosier language. Ive been talking to the negotiators over the last several weeks. Theyve been saying various things, theyre getting close or setbacks in the talks. Its been going on and on for months. This is the first time they have reached an agreement on a framework. But they do not have a feel yet among these group of negotiators, and they certainly dont have a bill that they have written and they dont have anything that has been accepted by house republicans, by senate republicans, senate and house democrats. So there is a long way to go. Thats still key sticking points, namely how to bring civil lawsuits against Police Officers who are protected now by the qualified immunity standard. There have been discussions about compromised language on that. Other issues as well remain on the table, but that qualified immunity issue remains the sticking point. So can they get there . A big question, but the difference in tone among the negotiators today. Which is something all americans want to celebrate. But we talk about a bipartisan deal. For example on infrastructure. Nancy pelosi comes out with a warning about the bipartisan Infrastructure Deal. Here she is. There aint going to be an Infrastructure Bill unless we have the Reconciliation Bill passed by the United States senate. So manu, what shes saying here is that Infrastructure Bill is bipartisan, but youre not going to get your bipartisan deal if we dont get everything we wanted in it on our own without a single republican vote. Maybe im not translating it, but how does this boil down to bipartisanship then . Thats the real challenge here. Because some republican senators who are open or supportive of that bipartisan deal may balk now because they dont want to give in to this democratic strategy to try to pass the larger Reconciliation Bill that would include a whole host of biden priorities. Today, Lindsey Graham who endorses this bipartisan deal warned that he would vote against it if the democrats do Carry Forward with their strategy. Mitch mcconnell, the republican leader, came out hard against this strategy. Hes not weighed in, but he said hes very pessimistic now, because it puts them in a very, very challenging position to endorse this strategy, because the Reconciliation Bill undoubtedly would propose raising taxes on corporations and higher earners, which is a red line for democrats. But they had to do this, because they need to get their liberals on board behind the bipartisan deal, because they want this larger bill to go through. And then they have to get the people like joe manchin on board to support this larger democratic only approach today. He would not commit to that, because hes concerned about the large price tag theyre talking about here. So a long way to go. A lot of hurdles to overcome for this to become law. And so kaitlan, is biden confident this will happen, this will go through . Reporter he said today he didnt want to say he was confident because he doesnt know how democrats are going to vote. But one line he had was really telling. He said yes, the Democratic Party is divided. But he said theyre rational. He thinks at the end of the day theyre not going to vote against an Infrastructure Deal, because there is this infighting among them about what the priorities and tactics should be and what this should look like. So he does seem to feel somewhat confident, but he couldnt say it, we should be clear, about what that was going to look like. He made some news in his remarks, as well saying that he would not sign the bipartisan deal that he just negotiated if he did not also get that bigger Reconciliation Package that the liberal progressives have been pushing for, talking about what they want to see on his desk. So that is significant in and of itself, saying that he also agrees, he wants both of those packages on his desk. Thatsing . That Mitch Mcconnell is criticizing him for. This is the real question.

Com tonight, the highly transmisable coronavirus Delta Variant has been found in a cluster of cases at a nevada el men try school, including two with children. It comes as its spreading, known to be spreading in every state by one. I think its safe to say its there, too. But this is what we know technically. And in missouri, the state hardest hit so far, hospitals are again overwhelmed by the virus. Martin savidge is outfront. Reporter in springfield, missouri, Coronavirus Hospitalizations are up more than 225 since the beginning of june. The regions two Major Hospital systems are once more worried about being overwhelmed. It appears to be related to the Delta Variant. We began to get news of the Delta Variant about five weeks ago. Reporter the Delta Variant, the same variant blamed for the catastrophic surge of covid cases and deaths in india is becoming prominent in the u. S. Local health Officials Say it makes up 93 of covid cases in springfield. 34 cases were hospitalized due to covid related illness in mid may. As of yesterday, we have 155 cases hospitalized due to covid related illness. That is the highest its been since january. Reporter the hospitals report many new patients are young. And until recently, healthy. Whats more, experts say just about all those hospitalizations have something in common. What percentage of people are unvaccinated . In the hospital, its nearly 100 of the people hospitalized with covid pneumonia are unvaccinated. Reporter the current vaccines are all effective at reducing severity of illness and hospitalizations caused by the Delta Variant. But the countys Vaccination Rate is running behind the National Rate of 45 . Of those eligible, were at 37. 7 . You realize youre behind . We do, yes. Reporter in other parts of the state, the numbers are far worse. More than 20 counties in missouri report less than 20 of their population is fully vaccinated. Theyre sending a lot of misinformation that has played a tremendous role in politicizing this entire situation, and that information has definitely played a part in peoples fears. Reporter springfields Health Director says local Health Departments are doing just about anything to encourage more people to get vaccinated. Like this event at a local brewery offering free beer and a shot as in vaccine. Will brand says it was pressure from his family and not the fear that got him over his hesitancy. What was it that kept you from getting the vaccine . Umm, you know, fear. I dont really have any other answer other than i was scared of a new thing. Reporter Louie Michael wishes he had got the vaccine. I was short of breath for a little bit. Reporter he and his wife patty ended up in the hospital with Serious Covid complications. He says not getting the vaccine was a huge mistake. I hope people think about getting the vaccination. Its your prerogative. But i wish i had done it to just avoid this. Reporter fortunately, michael and his wife are doing much better thanks to expert care. But doctors and nurses say after an exhausting year and a half of battling covid, this latest surge is having a Significant Impact on morale, saying its harder to again risk their own health and wellbeing for someone who chose not to get vaccinated. I think when the staff is putting them souselves at risk other people respect arent wil take the vaccine, thats a hard one for some to swallow. Reporter medical experts say if the Delta Variant can explode here as it appears to be doing, it can happen just about anywhere, where there are low Vaccination Rates. And they hope that states with low rates are paying close attention to all of these developments. And they also point out that this is potentially a much more contagious and much more dangerous variant. They know that theyre not out of the woods. In fact, theyre barely Into The Woods here. Things could get a whole lot worse. Martin, thank you very much. I want to bring in the u. S. Surgeon general. Im glad to talk to you again. The Delta Variant is across this country. In colorado, theyre admitting i think what everybody knows, its a lot more widespread than testing indicates. You saw it happen in the uk. It is what it is. Math is math. How worried are you about the numbers right now . Hello, erin, great to see you again, as well. Im really worried about the Delta Variant. This is the most transmissible variant weve seen so far, likely more than double of the version of covid we were dealing with last year in the United States. It also appear it will be more dangerous as well in terms of the severity of illness it causes. The uk has been a cautionary tale. The people who were getting sick there with the Delta Variant are young people. And its now nearly 100 of the new covid cases in the uk. And rapidly growing here in the United States, exceeding 20 of our cases, doubling in fact in just two weeks. So im worried for those unvaccinated. If you are vaccinated, the news is good. We found that the vaccines we know from studies are highly effective against the Delta Variant. We have good reason to believe the Johnson Johnson will be effective, as well. If you are not vaccinated, you are at more risk than you were over the past year. Im glad you mentioned Johnson Johnson. Weve been waiting, but you feel confident that Johnson Johnson will show similar efficacy as pfizer and moderna did . We dont know if it will be the same numbers, but we feel good it will likely be effective, particularly at reducing the risk of hospitalization and death. You look at the other variants, the one, three, five variant located in south africa, the j j vaccination has done quite well, and the astrazeneca vaccine is almost like a cousin of the j j vaccine in terms of the both using a similar platform. So good reason to believe j j should work. You heard Martin Savidge in missouri, and pretty much every single perp in that missouri hospital was not vaccinated. They say nearly 100 . So i dont know if theres a Breakthrough Case there to raise. But i know theyre saying essentially 100 . This is where the politics come in. The states and counties with the lowest Vaccination Rates voted before donald trump. And now here is the republican governor. All youre doing is entering the death drawing. If i knew for certain that there was going to be eight or nine people die by next tuesday and i could be one of them if i dont take the vaccine, What In The World do you think i would do . I mean, i would run over top of somebody, because i dont want to take a chance when the wheel spins, that it could come up jim justice. Does that work . I spoke to the widow of a woman whose husband, he wore a mask, she wore a mask in the interview. He wore masks in florida. He hadnt gotten the vaccine. He had been hesitant. He died. And they presume its from this new variant. She was still unwilling to tell others that they should get the vaccine, despite her grief and great loss. You know, how do you reach people on the vaccine at this point . Erin, its such an important question. There are three primary reasons people are not vaccinated right now. One has to do with access. Some people are still having trouble getting time off work and getting, you know, to get the vaccine. Weve done a lot of things to make that easier. Another reason is motivation. People think its going way because they see cases going away. But the third reason is the most challenging one, which is misinformation. There is so much misinformation out there about the vaccine, coming through so many channels. A lot of It Being Spread on social media, inducing a lot of fear among people. 2 3 of those unvaccinated in polls say that they either believe the myths about covid19 or think that they might be true. And thats a large number. So what weve got to do, and what weve been doing over the last several months, but speak to people and work with local doctors and nurses, local Faith Leaders and educators to make sure theyre reaching people so make the decision to get vaccinated, recognize thing is the single best way to doctor, appreciate your time, thank you. Take care. The Breaking News right now, i want to go back to our top story tonight, 99 people still unaccounted for after that Building Collapse near miami beach. No miracle that we know of in the past few moments as we have been talking about covid. I want to go now to kenneth director, a lawyer who represents the association of residents inside the building. Kenneth, you know, in that capacity i know obviously you know a lot of people in the building. Can you tell me the concerns that residents have had . Has anybody been raising issues about the building . Good evening and thank you for having me. The association has operated the condominium for nearly 40 years and has maintained building the. As a matter of fact, has had extensive engineering studies done over the past several months in preparation for a 40year certification process. Nothing appeared either to the engineers or to any of the residents that would suggest anything like this was imminent, nothing. Im sorry, erin, go ahead, please. No, i just wanted to follow up to that point. I p i talked to a man who was in the part first affected. Obviously they are missing. So he said his mother actually just yesterday told him she heard Creaking Noises in the middle of the night the night before last and it was so loud, it woke her up. She told him in that kerks sort of conversationally, but anybody living in a highrise would say, gosh, being woken up by creeks, that would be disturbing, and hindsight makes you wonder about what she said. Had you heard anything like that . Does it shock you. It doesnt because Buildings Creek and make noise and i havent heard anything like that. There are many, many, many buildings throughout florida that have been through 40year certification, and there are many, many more that have done concrete work and have had a crack in the concrete. Ive been at this for 40 years. No matter how bad the concrete has gotten, nobody has ever seen anything like this occur as a result of spalling concrete. What are you hearing from residents who survived the collapse about what they experienced . Well, im going to go down to the property tomorrow because today was obviously a day of just trying to get their arms around how to process this. The primary concern, as im sure you can understand for the next couple days, is the humanitarian issue, to account for the people who are missing and to do everything reasonably possible to not only save lives, but also try to provide some care to the people who were displaced from the building because this was a building where a lot of people lived full time.

Tonight Britney Spears speaking out just moments ago for the First Time Since her bombshell testimony. The Singer Posting on instagram tonight saying, quote, i apology for pretending like ive been okay the past two years. I did it because of my pride and i was embarrassed to share what happened to me. Spears is asking to end the conservatorship that has controlled her 60 million estate for more than a decade. She said she wants her life back, so what is life like for her now . Sunlen serfaty is out front. If i wasnt under restraints with all the lawyers and doctors and people analyzing me every day and all that kind of stuff, like, if that wasnt there, id feel so zblliberated. Reporter Britney Spears told the court her daily life is completely controlled by what she calls her abusive conservatorship, leaving her very little freedom. Its bad. Reporter the pop star says she has no say in the medicine she takes, describing one incident when she did not want to perform an additional show in las vegas. She was forced to go on lithium, describing how the therapist lined up by the conservatorship out of nowhere he took me off my normal meds. Ive been on for five years. I felt drunk, she says. They wouldnt let me get my car to go anywhere for a month. Spears says making objections about her life like this would often come with consequences, even for simple things. Once when she objected to a certain dance move for an upcoming show, she was told she wasnt cooperating or following guidelines in rehearsals. That particular incident, along with her refusal to do a las vegas show, spears said, eventually led to her being ford into a Mental Health facility against her will. I worked seven days a week, no days off, which in california the only similar thing to this is called sex trafficking, making anyone work against their will, taking all their possessions, credit cards, phone, passport. Court records obtained by the New York Times showing the millionaire is limited to a 2,000 weekly allowance, and she said she was made to perform when sick, once when she was running a temperature of over 100 degrees. Spears says she is forced to do therapy twice a week and meet with a psychiatrist once a week and is not allowed to have those sessions in her home, but in an office, where she feels exposed by paparazzi. Its embarrass and go demoralizing. I deserve privacy when i go. Spears struggles were highlighted in the documentary. When i tell them the way i feel, they hear me but theyre really not listening. Theyre hearing what they want to hear. Theyre not listening to what im telling them. Sunlen, conservatorships are not new among celebrities, but there have been a series, it seems of highprofile ones recently. There have been, erin. Conservatorships are intended for people who arent able to take care of themselves. We know actress amanda bines was placed under a conservatorship with her parents in 2013. That was after her highprofile struggle with alcohol and drugs, as was radio icon casey kasem before his death. Sunlen, thank you very much for your time.
