After an explosive court case which saw Britney Spears go head-to-head with her dad, the star has finally been granted a huge win.
Britney Spears has had a major win in her ongoing battle to remove her 13-year long conservatorship.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny today ruled to suspend her father, Jamie Spears as conservator, following explosive testimonies from the singer.
Ahead of the decision, Britney’s lawyer Matthew Rosengart delivered a powerful speech, telling the judge that Jamie “cannot be in my client’s life for one more day.”
He requested a suspension of her father as conservator, a review and a complete termination of the conservatorship within a 30 to 45-day period.
Britney’s legal team stated they would not accept her father’s recent request for the immediate termination of the conservatorship as they claimed he wanted a settlement and was also attempting to avoid an investigation into the abuse alleged by the singer.
Britney was not present in court for the ruling, but her parents, Jamie and Lynne Spears, watched on via a Zoom link.
Huge crowds of her fans gathered outside the Los Angeles court while the hearing took place, carrying homemade signs featuring photos of the singer and #FreeBritney, the viral hashtag supporting the star.
They erupted in celebration as the news of the ruling spread.
Shortly after the decision was handed down, Britney’s new fiancé, Sam Asghari, took to Instagram with a simple message.
It comes just days after a documentary from the New York Times claimed that Jamie was responsible for illegally bugging his daughter’s home and phones to monitor her private conversations.
Rosengart asked the court to investigate the claims, describing the alleged surveillance “unfathomable”.
Wednesday’s ruling comes after an explosive few months in the case, beginning with Britney telling judge Brenda Penny in June that she wanted the legal arrangement terminated.
The pop star, 39, begged the court to allow her to regain control of her personal affairs and finances during a bombshell hearing in which her court-appointed lawyer, Samuel D. Ingham III, resigned after she claimed he never told her that the conservatorship could end.
During Britney’s explosive 24-minute testimony, she called her father an “abusive” conservator and levelled a number of shocking accusations against him, including that he forced her to go on tour in 2018 and sent her to a mental health facility against her will in 2019.
She also claimed her conservators would not allow her to have her IUD (contraceptive device) removed, and once put her on lithium “out of nowhere,” a drug she described as so strong that she “couldn’t even have a conversation” with her parents.
“I shouldn’t be in a conservatorship if I can work and provide money and work for myself and pay other people. It makes no sense,” argued the singer, who performed a four-year, 248-show Las Vegas residency and judged a season of The X Factor while under the conservatorship.
Spears’ father was given control of her life and finances in 2008, shortly after her very public breakdown amid her divorce from Kevin Federline, with whom she shares sons Sean Preson, 15, and Jayden James, 14.
Since then, Britney has not been allowed to drive or vote, has lived on a strict allowance and has had most key decisions about her life taken out of her control.
Jamie shared the role with a lawyer, Andrew Wallet, for many years.
Wallet resigned from the case in March 2019, and Jamie temporarily stepped down as Britney’s conservator that September due to his ailing health.
A licensed fiduciary, Jodi Montgomery, has been filling in for Jamie ever since, though he still oversees how Britney spends her multimillion-dollar fortune as the conservator of her estate.
Prior to requesting the conservatorship’s termination, Britney had petitioned to have Jamie removed, with Ingham saying in November 2020 that his then-client was “afraid of her father” and would not perform again with him in charge.
During a July hearing, the star told the judge that she wanted her dad to be charged with “conservatorship abuse”.
Jamie has denied mismanaging Britney’s life and career, saying on numerous occasions that he “loves” and “misses” his daughter.
More to come.
