- Spears was under strict surveillance through her conservatorship, with Black Box Security and Tri Star Sports & Entertainment monitoring the singer 24/7. Edan Yemini, chief executive and founder of Black Box Security, Robin Greenhill, services director of Tri Star Sports & Entertainment, and Lou Taylor, CEO of Tri Star Sports & Entertainment, reportedly had a group chat where they would post Spears's every move and request, according to former Black Box Security employee Alex Vlasov. They allegedly managed all of her personal relationships and medication. "It really reminded me of somebody that was in prison," Vlasov said. "Security was put in a position to be the prison guards essentially."
- Parental controls were placed on the pop star's iPhone for "her own security and protection." With the parental controls, security was able to monitor all of Spears's phone calls, text messages, notes, photos, and browser history. When Vlasov questioned Yemini about the legality of it, Yemini allegedly said the court was aware of it as well as Spears's lawyer. Security also reportedly used an iPad with the same iCloud login as Spears's phone to mirror all her activity.
- People around Spears weren't allowed to talk or ask questions about the conservatorship. According to Dan George, the singer's promotional tour manager from her Circus Tour, Spears was kept "very, very isolated" and her close friends were taken away from her. "Her manager, when I first came on, said, 'Be careful, don't get too close. People have a way of disappearing," George recounted. "I think if you're actually concerned with someone's mental health, you don't take their friends away from them, and if their friends are going away, you at least give them a chance to say goodbye."
