Ingham III made nearly $3 million over the course of the conservatorship before resigning. From the looks of it, everyone around and involved in Spears's conservatorship was benefitting from it except her — especially her lawyer. According to the film, he reportedly made off with upwards of $3 million while working for Spears. When filmmakers asked Tony Chicotel, a probate conservatorship attorney, on his thoughts on Ingham III making so much money off the case for someone of his stature, he simply said, "My reaction is that he's on a gravy train and he's going to ride it all the way to the end."
Spears finally got a chance to tell her side of the story. Similar to the recording that was played in The New York Times' Controlling Britney Spearsdoc, the Netflix film played a couple of audio snippets from Spears's statement to a Los Angeles court that was heard on 23 June. Her explosive plea to the court about her conservatorship gave her a chance to detail the "abusive" treatment she's been subject to and speak candidly about how it's affected her life. "I've lied and told the whole world I'm OK and I'm happy. It's a lie," she said, "I just want my life back. And it's been 13 years and it's enough."
