Almost two months after his sister Katie died in a car accident, Hank Williams Jr's son Sam Williams, who recently released an album on UMG called Glasshouse Children, in which he has a duet with Dolly Parton, was put into conservatorship by his father and sister Holly Williams. That was in August of 2020, and now Sam wants out.

Sam posted a silent video to YouTube over the weekend (2/5) of himself holding up signs reading, "I am under a conservatorship. I've been quite a long time now. I want out of this, and I don't mind people knowing,' the video caption read. "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."

He added: 'I have worked my broken heart to quits since my dear Katie left for Home. I do not deserve this. This is a scary step but I don't see what else to do here. I am ashamed of my family and embarrassed. I am beyond done. I have my spirit back. Get. Me. Out. Please."

The video has since been deleted.
