HANK Williams Jr.’s son Sam claimed he’s in a conservatorship as the singer begged to be "freed" like Britney Spears.
The 24-year-old made the allegations in a silent YouTube video earlier this week.
In the video, Sam held up handwritten signs sharing information about the alleged conservatorship.
He claimed his famous father Hank, 72, and half-sister, Holly, put him under a conservatorship in August 2020.
The alleged conservatorship began 55 days after his sister, Katie, was tragically killed in a car accident.
Sam appeared nervous in the video, which ended with the country singer holding up a sign that read: “I want out.”
Alongside the video, he wrote: “I've been quiet a long time now. I want out of this, and I don't mind people knowing. They took my grief process, my spirit, my money, my car, my home, and everything possible in order to 'protect me.' Well, I need protection from them.”
The video has since been deleted.
In addition to sharing the video, Sam made the same claims in a series of tweets.
The musician wrote: "I am in a conservatorship.”
He also responded to a tweet from one fan celebrating Britney's "first February" being out of her conservatorship.
Sam shared the post as he wrote: "It's my second one not free."
Reps for Hank and Sam did not respond immediately to the Sun’s request for comment.
CONFIRMED CONSERVATORSHIP
Days after Sam made the claims, TMZ confirmed through court records that Hank filed a petition for an emergency conservatorship in August 2020 for Sam.
The outlet has not been able to confirm the current status of the conservatorship.
Sam made the claims against his family shortly after he and Hank were photographed together at Nashville's Country Music Hall of Fame in November 2021.
The father-son duo were celebrating Hank's induction, though Sam donned a serious expression while posing on the red carpet.
MOURNING KATIE
It's possible that the conservatorship was linked to the passing of Katie, who was just 27 at the time of the fatal car accident.
Her husband, Tyler Dunning, was also in the car and was airlifted to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee.
Sam revealed news of the accident on Facebook, writing: "My sister and brother in law have been in a terrible accident.
"Please pray for them so hard! Katie Williams and Tyler Dunning."
Sam later spoke about how Katie's passing impacted him during an interview with People in August 2021.
He said: "I definitely broke and went through a really, really, really hard time. I'm still climbing out of it. But, it's the 'still climbing' part that is the most important. That'll just always be a big part of my story."
FREE BRITNEY
Sam opened up about his alleged conservatorship just months after Britney, 40, was released from her own.
Following months in court, Judge Brenda Penny made her final ruling regarding the role of Britney's father, Jamie Spears, as the singer's conservator in November 2021.
At the time, the judge decided Jamie would no longer have legal control over Britney as serving as her conservator for 13 years.
Then in December, the judge ruled ruled that Britney's conservatorship was to be terminated without requiring any further mental evaluation.
The decision gave the hitmaker control of her life for the first time since 2008.
