Hank Williams Jr.'s youngest son, Sam Williams, posted a video this week claiming that his dad and his half-sister placed him in a conservatorship and he wants to get out of it.

Sam posted a silent video to YouTube earlier this week showing him holding up a white piece of paper with the words, "I WANT OUT." The video has since been made private and cannot be viewed.

According to reports, Williams claimed it was his father Hank, a singer and songwriter, and his half-sister Holly Williams who placed him in the conservatorship in August 2020, 55 days after his sister Katie Williams Dunning died in a car accident.

Sam, who is also a musician and has worked with Dolly Parton and Keith Urban, shared the video to his Twitter account on Feb. 2, writing "Please watch..conservatorship."

In the video's caption, Sam reportedly 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."
