UPDATED: Sam Williams – Son of Hank Jr. Wants Out of Conservatorship
This story has been updated (see below).
Singer, songwriter, and 3rd generation performer Sam Williams says he’s in a restrictive conservatorship, and wants out. Signed to a major label deal with Mercury Nashville, Sam Williams is the son of Hank Williams Jr. from his marriage to Mary Jane Thomas, and is the grandson of country music legend Hank Williams.
On Wednesday evening, February 2nd, at 10:13 p.m., Sam Williams posted a series of tweets claiming he is in a conservatorship, and tagging his famous father. In four separate tweets, Sam posted “I am” “in” “a” “conservatorship,” before also posting two separate tweets to a video he uploaded on YouTube, with an avatar of himself holding up a piece of paper reading, “I Want Out,” and saying in part, “I’ve been quiet for a long time now. I want this out, and I don’t mind people knowing. They took my grief process, my spirit, my money…”
The video was later made private. Sam Williams also responded in a tweet to someone mentioning Brittney Spears where he claims his current conservatorship is the second one he’s been under. You can see screenshots of the tweets below.
Saving Country Music attempted to reach out to Sam Williams, and reached out to representatives of Sam Williams for comment, but have not heard back. Saving Country Music also made an attempt to confirm if Samuel Williams is under a conserevatorship administrated by either Hank Williams Jr. or anyone else in multiple jurisdictions, and was unable to obtain any records. However, there is a record involving Sam Williams in the Davidson County Probate Division in Nashville that handles conservatorships, but those records are currently sealed, and the nature of those records is unavailable.
UPDATE (2/5/222): TMZ was able to obtain a copy of the Sam Williams video that was made private (see below). In the silent video, Sam discloses further details that his father, and his half sister Holly Williams put him under a conservatorship in August of 2020, 55 days after Sam’s full sister Katie Williams was killed in a car accident. TMZ also says they were able to confirm through court records that Hank Williams Jr. did file a petition for an emergency conservatorship in August of 2020 for Sam. TMZ did not disclose in what jurisdiction this conservatorship was taken out.
Sam Williams is a half-brother of performers Hank Williams III, Hilary Williams, and Holly Williams, along with being the full brother of Katie Williams, who died in a car accident on June 13th, 2020. Sam Williams initially did not want to be a performer, and instead wanted to lead a normal life. That changed when he became a father at age 19, and began to develop a music bug that expressed itself in numerous early singles and live performances.
Sam Williams released his debut album on August 20th, 2021 via Mercury Nashville, blending country, pop, hip-hop, and rock influences in deeply personal songs. Williams has cited Brittney Spears as a primary influence on his music. Spears suffered through her own high-profile issues with a conservatorship from her father over many years, ending in November of 2021.
A conservatorship is the appointment of a guardian by a judge to manage the financial affairs and/or daily life of another person, often due to old age or physical or mental limitations.
More information when it becomes available.

Sounds like he might need the conservatorship.
February 3, 2022 @ 12:48 pm
Based on what?
February 3, 2022 @ 12:53 pm
It sounds like he’s trying to follow in the footsteps of Britney Spears. I guess that means if he gets out of the conservatorship; he’ll celebrate by posting a bunch of nudes; because, you know…celebrities!
Joking aside, the little I know about these conservatorships are weird. How does an adult not have the right to make his/her own choices?
February 3, 2022 @ 1:35 pm
Need a conservatorship?? You might should google what that is. This man is a hard working family oriented man who got put in the wrong family. This is sad and I stand with him as a fan
February 3, 2022 @ 1:57 pm
How did he get “put” into the wrong family?
You bringing a political hard on into what could be a conversation about how naturally talented this kid is?
If so, buckle up brother
February 3, 2022 @ 9:40 pm
Put in the wrong family ? If it wasn’t for the Family he wouldn’t be in the business I would guess , no matter what anyone says , pretty sure being a member of the most famous family in country music has its advantages
February 3, 2022 @ 2:12 pm
I don’t know the specific of this Sam Williams conservatorship, and haven’t been able to properly confirm their even is a conservatorship. But I will say this: When the whole Free Brittney thing went down, I didn’t see enough people asking why Brittney Spears had a conservatorship in the first place. I am in no way an expert on conservatorships, but in a previous life I did work where I regularly dealt with court appointed elderly advocates and conservators for older individuals, and I know that most any court is not going to assign guardianship over someone without a rigorous discovery process and testimony by experts that it’s in the best interests of the individual, let alone maintain it over many years. That said, as we see up and down society, malfeasance can happen. Maybe that was the case with Brittney, and maybe that is the case with Sam. In Sam’s case, I don’t think any of us know enough at this point to make that judgement.
February 3, 2022 @ 4:16 pm
Trigger,
As part of my career, I have managed these types of accounts. Conservatorships and guardianships are “similar” depending on the state. Without getting into details. you are correct when you said, “…and I know that most any court is not going to assign guardianship over someone without a rigorous discovery process and testimony by experts that it’s in the best interests of the individual.”
These are not established unless proven to be needed and confirmed by a judge. Now, it is true none of us know details. But I can fairly ascertain that whenever it was established, it was deemed appropriate and substantiated. If it has not ended, it appears there is a justifiable reason for continuance.
Of course, things can change and may so for Sam. But the way he is going about it does not appear favorable.
We will never know all the details due to privacy considerations but maybe enough will come to light to make a more informed opinion.

The court can do what it wants. Judges are influenced every day. Britney could lead a normal life, be a good mother and make good decisions with the right psych meds. She was having a rough time and wasn’t taking psych meds when she was put under conservatorship. They took advantage of her. Historically, most victims of this kind of thing are women.
February 4, 2022 @ 10:32 pm
You can’t be serious. Someone had to throw that in there because their heart is broken. Be realistic Lisa
February 4, 2022 @ 12:56 pm
Sam Williams hasnt done anything musically thats impressed me. Being honest, not mean spirited. And im as big a fan of The Williams family as anybody. I wish him well though.
February 7, 2022 @ 10:46 pm
Your comment has nothing to do with this story at all. It’s not about whether you like his music.
February 4, 2022 @ 5:31 pm
Britney’s conservatorship was never necessary, but was a conspiracy of her relatives and their employees to steal her money and mansions by making her appear to be insane or addicted to hard drugs though she was not. In her youth, she may have experimented a little with drugs, but was not addicted and has been clean and sober during the whole conservatorship, not even drinking at all. The media jumped on the bandwagon of trying to make the public believe that she was insane because shocking articles would sell gossip magazines. For example, the paparazzi followed her car and wrote a lie in an article that she couldn’t decide where to drive and must be disoriented; her female cousin, who had been in the passenger seat that day, said that Britney was not disoriented and wanted to go for a drive the way some people go for a walk, as a way to relax and have fun, not to have a destination, and that this is what the cousin also does in her own car for fun. The paparazzi said that Britney was crazy for shaving her head, but her ex-husband had threatened to sue for full custody of her children by declaring her an unfit mother based on drug experimentation and get a warrant to have her hair tested for evidence of drug use in the previous year as part of a custody battle. The paparazzi wrote that Britney was insane for hitting his banging on the door of his trailer with her folded up umbrella when he wouldn’t answer the door to see her shaved head right after his threats, but most women would do that and a lot more violence than that.

I recently saw him preform on The Grand Ole Opry. He sounded Very much like his Grandfather. The Ledgenary Hank Willims.

The Courts under many situational arrangement are justified , though as with The Britney Spears debacle can and do enter into nefarious arrangement when big money/Famous name comes into play . hopefully this doesn’t become THAT horrible entangling drama
February 4, 2022 @ 7:05 pm
Hi. I do remember the whole Britney underwear scandal ! And the crazy hair thing ! Lots of stuff lol. I saw it on the news for a couple months and then it too passed … So i am glad to hear she grew up, and i hope she stays well. But i still have to get up tomorrow and go to work. !
February 4, 2022 @ 7:07 pm
Let me add… I hope he stands strong and wins his life back , like Britney
February 5, 2022 @ 4:29 pm
So, I did a serious investigation as to what happened to Britney Jean Spears. Bottom line: this was, in fact, an unlawful conservatorship that involved judicial misconduct and violations of Ms. Spears’ constitutional rights. The brilliant documentary, Framing Britney Spears, included an interview with Adam Streisand. He affirms that Reva Goetz, the commissioner at the time, “fired” him as Britney’s attorney (a violation of her rights), claiming that she had a “report” from a prestigious doctor that he couldn’t see. So, it would be wrong to assume that Britney’s conservatorship was necessary and lawful.
February 4, 2022 @ 3:16 pm
Yep
February 4, 2022 @ 3:40 pm
Exactly. I guarantee he does not support himself so it’s not his money, to begin with. He definitely has a lot of issues clearly on display on social media. Hank Jr. for being a superstar is very down to earth, family first, and has been through it all plus some!
There is no reason he can’t talk to his father instead of posting for publicity on social media.
February 4, 2022 @ 10:38 pm
Family 1st? What a joke! I know for a fact, Hank Jr. Has a bastard son named Brandon, who he has refused to ever see, talk to, support in any way, have anything to do with whatsoever! Brandon has never asked for anything, but for his family to acknowledge his existence. It seems, that’s too much to ask for! Some people are just trash, no matter how much fame/fortune they achieve!
It doesn’t surprise me that this family has control of this boy’s life! probably taking every penny of $$.
February 4, 2022 @ 11:42 pm
You are a joke! and sound like a maniac! Why even bother wasting your time on the internet writing such nonsense. None of anything your wrote is logical.
February 5, 2022 @ 7:17 am
Are you Brandon’s momma?
February 5, 2022 @ 8:18 am
Edward,
I am a huge Hank Jr. fan, but yes he is not the poster child for family. Just callin’ it like I see it. Maybe wrong but doubtful.
February 5, 2022 @ 5:07 pm
I love Hank Jr. and I’ve seen him in concert quite a few times over the years. I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen him sober. Just saying.
February 18, 2022 @ 3:41 pm
I live about 25 minutes from one of his homes and I’ve seen him sober MANY MANY times…..just saying
February 6, 2022 @ 3:42 pm
Most conservatorships are for the good. Brittney’s had outlived its purpose and should have been ended many years ago. The difference here is she earned her own money. Hank3 more than likely we are talking inherited money which should have been put in a trust to begin with. Prob just a druggie wanted access to money quicker than common sense minded conservator says; its just that easy. Look at ALL of his accomplishments and you be the judge.
February 3, 2022 @ 12:57 pm
Can we stop allowing people to glom onto the Hank lineage after this? No 4th Gen Hank Williams
February 3, 2022 @ 1:00 pm
There is already a 4th generation Hank Williams, Coleman “IV” Williams:

He’s not. You should listen
February 4, 2022 @ 12:40 am
Bottom line is these types of arrangements, if one exists, are not entered into lightly by any stretch. If this is based on a valid arrangement there is a reason a judge agreed to it originally so let’s wait and see what, if anything, happens before passing judgement without any verifiable information in this alleged matter. What we know is a human being and their family are going through a unfortunate situation of some sort and perhaps if you are so inclined prayers are in order or at least positive vibes.
February 3, 2022 @ 1:23 pm
Sam has a great voice.
Really enjoyed his Blue Christmas & Snow Angels videos, released recently.
Think he has a lot of his great Grandfather in him.
Not sure if being signed with a Nashville label will be the healthiest thing for him. Exploitation, & all
February 3, 2022 @ 5:44 pm
Correction,
His Grandfather, not Great Grandfather.
Apologies
February 3, 2022 @ 1:33 pm
Sam Williams is a great performer writer and carrier of his legacy. He doesn’t want to be his dad and that’s what’s cool about him to me anyway…. People who are silenced under law in America deserve to be fucking heard
February 3, 2022 @ 1:39 pm
This is sad and outrageous. This guy is a classy and talented performer. No one deserves to be silenced on what goes on in their life. Free Sam
February 4, 2022 @ 6:35 am
I would say judging by his lives on Facebook that he needs the conservatorship. He seems seriously to believe there is an actual crown and he is owed it. He strikes me as having some serious mental issues. What a shame.
February 3, 2022 @ 1:59 pm
Being the descendant or sibling of a superstar artist is maybe gets your foot in the door but is hardly an assuance of success as an artist. Ronnie Robbins, John Carter Cash, Stella Parton, La Costa Tucker, Pake Mcentire, Marty, Noel and Ben Haggard could all tell you that.
February 4, 2022 @ 9:46 am
I remember the Lynn’s back in the day saying they recorded under a different name originally. Wanted a record deal under their own work and not just the family name.
February 4, 2022 @ 4:09 pm
Excellent commentary..Crystal Gayle is Loretta Lynn’s sister…prime example of changing the name and dropping the umbilical to Lorettas fame
February 3, 2022 @ 2:03 pm
“We are the First Family of country music
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.”
February 3, 2022 @ 2:44 pm
I wonder if he had a mental break down loosing his sister? Maybe that’s why he had to be put under conservatorship…IDK…While I have a vast knowledge on Hank Sr. & Hank Jr. I don’t know much about the grandkids but hopefully this can be resolved & weather he gets out or not whatever the outcome is, it will be the best outcome for him.
February 4, 2022 @ 10:29 am
Conservatorship has a very fine line. The person in charge has an obligation to make the best possible decisions for those in their care. The person in their care has been deemed incapable of making these decisions usually after numerous situations where a life has been put in danger. Some may be able to get proper Mental Health and gain ability to make decisions or even be competent to have strong input. As a Mental Health Practitioner I have seen the difference in what the conservator feels is right versus the client or others. Some act more like a jailer and others literally do what they feel best in their truth or reality and may or may not consider anything else.
February 5, 2022 @ 12:59 am
Best wishes to you, Sam!

February 3, 2022 @ 2:59 pm
Ive been following Sam for years in hopes of seeing his career launch and honestly the stuff he posts and the way he acts I do think he might have some issues, and the problems seemed to be amplified after the loss of his sister. If he is under a conservatorship Im not entirely shocked if Im being honest.
February 3, 2022 @ 6:28 pm
I’m sure it was done in the interest of Sam when your the son of a very prominent already established icon of country music or any other kind alot of times it’s done to help secure your assets and protect you from someone that can rob and steal you blind dont be so quick to judge their were plenty of good reasons for britney to be put under one what was questionable is was her father the best choice
February 3, 2022 @ 7:57 pm
How much money is in the Hank Sr trust? If Hank Jr is the guardian, and Sam is his charge, then is this just about access to money? If so, the will is the touchstone. Hank Jr may have had the power to define when Sam gets acce$$. 21? 25? Good luck changing those terms…
February 4, 2022 @ 9:50 am
At that level of wealth a will certainly helps but it’s generally trusts. Dealing with an estate planning attorney.
February 3, 2022 @ 9:15 pm
Maybe he’s had issues with substance abuse or acute alcohol abuse or something. He did lose his sister not long ago and it’s not like his family not to mention all families have demons the have to fight. Not sure how old he is but being young, famous and a unlimited access to money isn’t always a good thing for a young man who could be prone to a destructive lifestyle. After all it is a “family tradition”
February 4, 2022 @ 1:21 pm
You dont have a right to be happy. You have the right to pursue happiness. There’s a BIG difference.
February 3, 2022 @ 9:48 pm
Sounds like a little spoiled prick. The Hank Williams legacy should have ended with Hank Jr. He legitimately carved his own niche and had a big influence on country music. The rest of them suck. Hank 3 is a foul mouthed punk ass who would be playing in garages if he didn’t have the Williams name and look a lot like Hank 1. Never even heard of Sam Williams but he can shut the f#$% up. Hes probably under a conservatorship so he doesn’t blow all of the money hes gotten from Hank Jr. Just like Britney Spears. That thing shaved her head and clearly was not mentally stable enough to manage millions of dollars. I think her dad was looking out for her.
February 4, 2022 @ 7:17 am
With all due respect, Hank 3 also carved his own niche and had a big influence on country music. In my mind Straight to Hell is one of the most influential alt-country albums of all time. With his rejection of the traditional Nashville establishment and insistence on doing things his own way, I think, in a lot of ways he laid the groundwork for the rise in the new wave of country/alt-country we’ve seen over the last ten years or so. Is he the best songwriter? No. Is he foul-mouthed and at times offensive? Yes. Do I miss his absolutely bonkers live shows that are completely unrivaled? Yes. Whether you love him, hate him, or are indifferent to him it seems short-sighted to deny the influence he’s had and how inventive some of that music is.
February 21, 2023 @ 7:21 pm
To quote Hank III from one of his own songs, “Not everybody likes us, but we drive some folks wild.”
February 4, 2022 @ 8:11 am
Damn Hank 3 and his potty mouth! He obviously doesn’t have as much class as you to use symbols when telling someone they can shut the fuck up. If only we could all follow your example.
February 5, 2022 @ 5:02 pm
That woman who you’re calling a “thing” was lucky to escape an abusive conservatorship that was draining her of her money, life, and will to live. How could you say her dad was watching out for her when he couldn’t even take care of himself? He’s an abusive alcoholic who never amounted to anything in his life. A piece of shit that couldn’t stand that a woman, his daughter nonetheless, surpassed him and was able to make something of herself. How is Britney irresponsible when she had enough sense to create a trust fund for her children in 2005? How is Britney irresponsible when her net worth was an estimated $300 million in 2007 before she was put under the conservatorship, but it had somehow depleted to only $60 million before the conservatorship ended, DESPITE 13 years old releasing music, touring, and other avenues of making money? I highly suggest you quit speaking on matters you don’t know or understand, you’ll save yourself from looking foolish in the future.
February 6, 2022 @ 12:02 am
I could care less about Britney Spears. Just remember she had nice jugs when she was younger
February 6, 2022 @ 12:14 am
Classy.
Interesting that you say you don’t care about Britney, yet you felt the need to speak on her situation when you clearly know nothing about it. How wasn’t Britney “mentally stable” enough to manage her own money, yet she lost hundreds of millions of dollars while her father was the conservator of her estate? Please explain, I could use a good laugh.
February 6, 2022 @ 5:54 pm
Any woman that shaved her head clearly had some problems. Ex. Sinead O’Connor. She also was with a loser- that Kevin Federline guy so she easily could have blown all the money. She won’t go out with you so stop defending her idiot. I said I don’t care about a washed up pop star.
February 6, 2022 @ 6:43 pm
You keep saying she would’ve/could’ve blown all her money, and I’m stating facts that disproves what you’re saying. Remember, facts don’t care about your feelings. This applies to your head shaving comment too. You may think a woman shaving her head makes her crazy, and that’s a little thing we call misogyny.
Also, a washed up pop star doesn’t cause all this conversation.
February 6, 2022 @ 6:46 pm
Vern,
I don’t appreciate the tone of your comments. You’ve blown in here, and all the comments you’ve left so far have been cutting, down-looking, and dismissive. If you have something of value to contribute, we’d all love to hear it. If all you want to do is cut down whomever the subject of an article is, move on.
February 6, 2022 @ 7:24 pm
I will it’s odd there is twats on here that like Britney Spears on a country forum.
February 6, 2022 @ 8:43 pm
Not really considering the subject matter. This became a big national story after I reported on it, with TMZ and others picking up on it. Brittney Spears fans now have an entire network where they look into these conservatory cases, and so it attracted their attention.
February 3, 2022 @ 10:18 pm
Thank You for writing this article.
February 4, 2022 @ 6:49 am
I saw him at Merlefest this past year, and during his set he said at least 5 times that he didn’t want to get where he was in his music career based off of his family. Then he proceeded to talk about his dad and grandfather and their influences on him at least 5 more times while ending his set with “Family Tradition” just because no one there knew any of his other songs.
I guess no matter what he says he is still leaning on them a bit too much to make his own way in music.
February 4, 2022 @ 7:23 am
I couldn’t imagine the pressure, I think it would be tough having a shadow constantly over you but two. Hank Jr. had to deal with it & it caused him to attempt suicide a few times, But at the same time it does give him opportunities he otherwise wouldn’t get so it’s like a two edged sword. The best thing Sam can do music wise is just make his stuff & if works it works, while Hank 3 isn’t as big as the other two Hank’s he just does his thing & made a nice career for himself, same goes for Holly as well.
February 5, 2022 @ 4:43 am
Hank Jr had to deal with a mother trying to make him become that shadow. Sam does not.
February 4, 2022 @ 8:30 pm
Obviously it’s no ones business, but It’s clear by Sam Williams’ public posts that he wants his personal business to be known to all, so adding to that I think it is truly sad that he’s struggling with his part in a family legacy. I understand the need of a conservatorship when validated but not always are they in the right hands, hopefully his is and he just doesn’t realize it yet. Also, this family’s situation should never be made into another idiotic political post… who actually cares what genre of music presidents favor? Left or right, every family has their own stuff to deal with. The BS with the whole cancel culture society that’s being dictated by control freaks is completely out of hand… those people are the ones that need to shut the eff up and let people be. People disagree, so what, we’re all wired differently and when you try to silence people with fear and threats you’re no better than the effing commies.
February 4, 2022 @ 7:28 am
If there is one then it was put in force for a reason, True this is a Music famous family ! But no one knows the reason for it and it’s none of our business in the first place , and secondly I’m sure in due time it will work itself out and they don’t need a bunch of arm chair attorneys spouting off about things they cannot control. This sounds like a bunch of Biden supporters.
February 4, 2022 @ 1:21 pm
While I agree with you about arm chair attorneys, your comment about sounding like Biden supporters is the dumbest comment on this post. Although, most of the comments are clearly written, make reasonable points, and use decent grammar, so you might be right about that! I would bet that Joe has listened to a lot more country music than #45 who fancied discos and high profile parties in the big apple!
February 4, 2022 @ 8:26 am
These young kids don’t appreciate nothing. I’ll take the problem and record deal. After all I’m the guy who’s the “real deal” fighting threw life for a chance to be discovered. I think Hank Jr., and all the Williams from him have all been lucky enough to have the opportunities handed to them, feeding off of the late Hank Sr coattails. It’s one thing to sell records out of the trunk of your car and a whole nother animal to struggle your way to the top with no favoritism. .these kinds of artist appreciate what they have and are humble as an artist by the he’ll it took to get there. Try getting it that way boys and see how”outlawish” you’d be or worried you’d be to show your ass and lose it all! And to Sam, take his a$$ of the scene anyway ,we don’t need anymore made up pop artist putting real country music to death.
February 4, 2022 @ 9:19 am
Hank 3 is far better song writer than his father, just not commercial. Just sayin.
I’m not a fan of Sam but regardless, he makes his money and deserves to have it.
February 4, 2022 @ 9:57 am
Hmm… that’s a huge debate which Hank is the better song writer? All 3 of them are great! But in my opinion it just comes down to taste Hank Sr. was great at writing ballads, Hank Jr. is best known for writing the party songs but he is a very underrated ballad writer to be honest, & Hank III is a mix of party & ballad but I don’t know…I can’t pick one to tell you the truth.
It’s a shame that Hank III has pretty much hung it up at this point. I think he is more interested in helping IV or Coleman get his music off the ground, I think their plan is to replace III with IV at least that’s the way it looks to me.
I have to be honest if I was gonna choose between Sam or Coleman (A.K.A. IV) I would choose Coleman even though I think he is essentially copying Hank III at least he knows what he wants his music to be. Sam is all over the place musically he’s got some pop songs, pop country songs, & some folk style songs. I wish same would just pick a style & stick with it instead of bouncing all over the place.
February 4, 2022 @ 3:51 pm
Fair points!
I guess I could have worded that better. I love old Hank Jr. But I feel he hasnt done much good since Lone Wolf, if I’m honest. Maybe Almeria Club.
February 4, 2022 @ 11:24 am
I feel like I need more details.
February 4, 2022 @ 11:46 am
If Sam is doing pop and wrap and mixing all the stuff into his music then he certainly ain’t no country music star and don’t belong in Nashville that’s for sure. Maybe he should just go sign on the pop charts and just do it himself.
February 4, 2022 @ 11:51 am
anybody here to debate musicality or have opinions on a family matter should really shove it. No one knows what its like for this young man
February 4, 2022 @ 12:41 pm
He is the one who put it out there, but frankly anyone who follows him on Facebook could see him unraveling.

You and your family
Will be in my prayers
Love you and your family
I remember when you did young country
And came to get the man to be in the video
No one has ever wrote good music like
And no one ever will in life
Or ever take your spot in country music

I feel sorry for all of the Williams…

Freedom to join the military, have children, drive a vehicle, but not manage your finances? Sounds like a great money stealing racket. Do they collect their hair for future profits too?

He’s not really Country in my opinion he needs someone to watch over him

The Williams “originality” stopped after Hank Williams Jr. After that, it’s family derivative. Hank III did enough to make a living and say “fuck it” and the daughters have found whatever they are in to but the actual lineage is over.

The biggest problem I see with this complaint is Britney WAS the bread winner for their family; Sam Williams is not. Sam Williams has obviously lived off the family name which is what Britney’s family has done.

Quick note folks: The story has been updated with some additional information. TMZ was able to obtain the original (silent) video from Sam which as been added above, and TMZ claims they were able to verify the conservatorship, and that Hank Jr. and Holly Williams are in charge of it. I am still working to independently verify this information.

Hmm… it’s seems once Hank Jr passes away Holly will be the matriarch of the family. Well, one thing about the Williams family they always leave you something to talk about.

According to TMZ, the clip’s caption read, “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.”
Although he clearly doesn’t agree with their methods, he acknowledges their intent was to protect him. From what is debatable, but probably from some sort of self harm. His sister died tragically and shortly after his father filed for an emergency conservatorship of Sam. Sounds scary.
I hope it all works out for the best for Hank, his wife, Sam, and the rest of their family affected by this situation.

At least he doesn’t have Simon Porter as a manager.
Put together a all girl country band that didn’t work because he puts in as little effort as possible.
He ruined status who and turned them into a gimmick band. Doing store adverts in Australia and very uncomfortable scenes to watch in Coronation Street but as Simon put it ‘but it paid for my new kitchen!’

It says he became a father a 19 but is openly gay.im sure that doesn’t make Hank Jr overjoyed. The guy can sing for a fact but his vids can be sad, dark and hurting. Watch “you can’t fool your on blood” Sam is a great singer songwriter but definitely not Hank Jr. He may be a bit unstable or something his vids kinda gives you glues m
