The retired gymnast applauded the pop singer for testifying in court and begging a Los Angeles judge to end her decade-long conservatorship with her father, Jamie Spears. “I’m so proud of Britney for speaking out. She deserves to spend the rest of her life healing in peace, or doing whatever she wants," Maroney wrote. "The people who control her are criminals, and abusers, just like USA gymnastics, and the USOC used me and their athletes for money, but didn’t care to protect us.” Credit: Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP FILE - Britney Spears arrives at the Los Angeles premiere of "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" on July 22, 2019.
