Pop sensation Britney Spears has lashed out at her conservatorship, calling it 'abusive & enslaving'. She accused her father of reveling in her sorrows. Will the court end this unfair arrangement? Or will Britney's father continue to dictate her life? Palki Sharma tells you.

Gravitas: Britney Spears demands end to conservatorship

<p>While appearing for the court hearing in Los Angeles on Wednesday for her conservatorship case, Britney Spears admitted that she had not believed her former best friend Paris Hilton when she spoke out her horrible boarding school experience. The singer admitted that since she did not believe Hilton, the same way people would not believe her side of the story and hence kept quiet for a long time.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Spears told a judge during the virtual hearing in Los Angeles Superior Court, "To be honest with you, the Paris Hilton story on what they did to her at that school, I didn`t believe any of it. I`m sorry."<br />
<br />
Spears was referring to Hilton`s public allegations about the Provo Canyon School in Utah where she said she was abused by "evil and sadistic" staff as a teenager.<br />
<br />
Spears said when she first heard Hilton's allegations, she did not believe it and and didn't think any one would believe her either.&nbsp;<br />
"Mainly I didn`t want to say it openly because I honestly don`t think anyone would believe me," Spears said.</p>

She added, "I`m an outsider and I`ll just be honest, I didn`t believe it and maybe I`m wrong and that`s why I didn`t want to say any of this to anybody to the public because I thought people would make fun of me or laugh at me and say, she`s lying, she`s got everything, she`s Britney Spears. I`m not lying. I just want my life back."<br />
<br />
Spears broke her silence on the conservatorship that has governed her life for the last 13 years and asked a judge to end it, saying the abuses she incurred rise to the criminal level and her father Jamie Spears and her managers should be jailed.<br />

She detailed a laundry list of abuses she`s endured under her father`s control, including getting drugged when she refused to go on tour and being forced to take contraceptives against her will.</p>

Britney Spears makes her first statement since testimony: I apologise for pretending like I’ve been okay

<p>Britney Spears told a judge at a dramatic hearing Wednesday she wants an end to the conservatorship that has controlled her life and money for 13 years. Here's a look at how conservatorships operate, what's unusual about hers, and why she and so many fans want to #FreeBritney.</p>

<p><strong>HOW DO CONSERVATORSHIPS WORK?</strong><br />
<br />
When a person is considered to have a severely diminished mental capacity, a court can step in and grant someone the power to make financial decisions and major life choices for them. California law says a conservatorship, called a guardianship in some states, is justified for a ?person who is unable to provide properly for his or her personal needs for physical health, food, clothing, or shelter," or for someone who is ?substantially unable to manage his or her own financial resources or resist fraud or undue influence." The conservator, as the appointee put in charge is called, may be a family member, a close friend or a court-appointed professional.<br />
<br />
<strong>HOW DOES SPEARS' WORK? </strong><br />
<br />
With a fortune of more than USD 50 million comes secrecy, and the court closely guards the inner workings of Spears' conservatorship. Some aspects have been revealed in documents. The conservatorship has the power to restrict her visitors. It arranges and oversees visits with her sons, ages 14 and 15; father Kevin Federline has full custody. It has the power to take out restraining orders in her name, which it has used more than once to keep away interlopers deemed shady. It has the power to make her medical decisions and her business deals. She said at Wednesday's hearing that she has been compelled to take drugs against her will, has been kept from having an intrauterine device for birth control removed and has been required to undertake performances when she didn't want to. Legally, Spears can get married, but the conservatorship must approve it as with other major life decisions. Spears said Wednesday that she wants to get married and have another child, but has been denied the chance to do either. Like all California conservatorships, it's subject to annual accountings and reviews from a court investigator.</p>

<p><strong>WHO HAS POWER OVER SPEARS?</strong></p>

<p>Her father has largely been in charge through the years, and the stereotypical image of a parent preying on a famous child's fortune fuels the enmity against James Spears and the conservatorship, though his every move is scrutinised by the court. From 2008 until 2019, he had power over her life choices, and he and attorney Andrew Wallet controlled her money. Now, he has financial control only, and must share that role with the Bessemer Trust, an estate-management firm. Jodi Montgomery, a court-appointed professional, now acts as conservator over her personal matters.</p>

<p><strong>WHY ARE SO MANY CALLING TO #FREEBRITNEY? </strong><br />
<br />
Fans who dote on Britney Spears' social media posts and public statements, trying to decipher her every utterance, dance move or shared meme, have increasingly coalesced into a movement after becoming convinced she was being controlled unfairly. Key were two women who in 2017 turned their hobby of picking apart Spears' Instagram posts into a podcast, ? Britney's Gram." It would help birth the hashtag #FreeBritney. Hearings can bring dozens of protesters to the courthouse, carrying signs like ?</p>

<p><strong>CONSERVATORSHIP IS SLAVERY? </strong></p>

<p>James Spears has called the group conspiracy theorists, and says those who shout #FreeBritney don't understand the totality of the situation. Fans said after the most recent hearing that they felt vindicated by Britney Spears confirming much of what they have said.</p>

<p><strong>WHY WAS IT IMPOSED IN THE FIRST PLACE?</strong></p>

<p>In 2007 and 2008, shortly after she became a mother, she began to have very public mental struggles, with media outlets obsessed over each moment. Hordes of paparazzi aggressively followed her every time she left her house, and she no longer seemed able to handle it. She attacked one cameraman's car with an umbrella. She shaved her head at a salon. She lost custody of her children. When she refused to turn over her boys after a visit, she was hospitalised and put on a psychiatric hold. The conservatorship was put in place within days.</p>

<p><strong>WHY HAS IT GONE ON SO LONG?</strong></p>

Britney Spears told a judge at a dramatic hearing Wednesday she wants an end to the conservatorship that has controlled her life and money for 13 years. Here's a look at how conservatorships operate, what's unusual about hers, and why she and so many fans want to #FreeBritney. HOW DO CONSERVATORSHIPS WORK? When a person is considered to have a severely diminished mental capacity, a court can step in and grant someone the power to make financial decisions and major life choices for them. California law says a conservatorship, called a guardianship in some states, is justified for a ?person who is unable to provide properly for his or her personal needs for physical health, food, clothing, or shelter," or for someone who is ?substantially unable to manage his or her own financial resources or resist fraud or undue influence." The conservator, as the appointee put in charge is called, may be a family member, a close friend or a court-appointed professional. HOW DOES SPEARS' WORK? With a fortune of more than USD 50 million comes secrecy, and the court closely guards the inner workings of Spears' conservatorship. Some aspects have been revealed in documents. The conservatorship has the power to restrict her visitors. It arranges and oversees visits with her sons, ages 14 and 15; father Kevin Federline has full custody. It has the power to take out restraining orders in her name, which it has used more than once to keep away interlopers deemed shady. It has the power to make her medical decisions and her business deals. She said at Wednesday's hearing that she has been compelled to take drugs against her will, has been kept from having an intrauterine device for birth control removed and has been required to undertake performances when she didn't want to. Legally, Spears can get married, but the conservatorship must approve it as with other major life decisions. Spears said Wednesday that she wants to get married and have another child, but has been denied the chance to do either. Like all California conservatorships, it's subject to annual accountings and reviews from a court investigator. WHO HAS POWER OVER SPEARS? Her father has largely been in charge through the years, and the stereotypical image of a parent preying on a famous child's fortune fuels the enmity against James Spears and the conservatorship, though his every move is scrutinised by the court. From 2008 until 2019, he had power over her life choices, and he and attorney Andrew Wallet controlled her money. Now, he has financial control only, and must share that role with the Bessemer Trust, an estate-management firm. Jodi Montgomery, a court-appointed professional, now acts as conservator over her personal matters. WHY ARE SO MANY CALLING TO #FREEBRITNEY? Fans who dote on Britney Spears' social media posts and public statements, trying to decipher her every utterance, dance move or shared meme, have increasingly coalesced into a movement after becoming convinced she was being controlled unfairly. Key were two women who in 2017 turned their hobby of picking apart Spears' Instagram posts into a podcast, ? Britney's Gram." It would help birth the hashtag #FreeBritney. Hearings can bring dozens of protesters to the courthouse, carrying signs like ? CONSERVATORSHIP IS SLAVERY? James Spears has called the group conspiracy theorists, and says those who shout #FreeBritney don't understand the totality of the situation. Fans said after the most recent hearing that they felt vindicated by Britney Spears confirming much of what they have said. WHY WAS IT IMPOSED IN THE FIRST PLACE? In 2007 and 2008, shortly after she became a mother, she began to have very public mental struggles, with media outlets obsessed over each moment. Hordes of paparazzi aggressively followed her every time she left her house, and she no longer seemed able to handle it. She attacked one cameraman's car with an umbrella. She shaved her head at a salon. She lost custody of her children. When she refused to turn over her boys after a visit, she was hospitalised and put on a psychiatric hold. The conservatorship was put in place within days. WHY HAS IT GONE ON SO LONG? A conservatorship can always be dissolved by the court, though it's rare that a person successfully asks to be released. The burden is on them to prove their competence. Spears told the judge Wednesday that she would like to be released without further evaluation, but there is virtually no chance of that happening. They can last decades because the circumstances that lead to them, like traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's, or dementia, are not things people just bounce back from. The mandatory secrecy of medical records has kept murky the reasons why Britney Spears must remain in hers, but it's clear that it involves psychiatric issues.

Britney Spears conservatorship case: How does it work and why is it different for the singer?

<p>After an emotional speech at the courthouse from Britney Spears, the pop star has got support from celebrities like Justin Timberlake, Mariah Varey and others over her long-standing conservatorship.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Britney Spears addressed a Los Angeles Court judge in which she detailed about conservatorship and said that it is “abusive” and “I don’t feel like I can live a full life.”</p>

<p>She said, “I’ve lied and told the whole world ‘I'm OK and I'm happy’. It's a lie. I thought I just maybe if I said that enough. Because I've been in denial. I've been in shock. I am traumatised. You know, fake it till you make it. But now I'm telling you the truth, OK? I'm not happy. I can't sleep. I'm so angry it's insane. And I'm depressed. I cry every day.”</p>

<p>Soon after her speech went viral, music star Justin Timberlake tweeted, “After what we saw today, we should all be supporting Britney at this time. Regardless of our past, good and bad, and no matter how long ago it was… what’s happening to her is just not right. No woman should ever be restricted from making decisions about her own body. No one should EVER be held against their will… or ever have to ask permission to access everything they’ve worked so hard for. Jess and I send our love, and our absolute support to Britney during this time. We hope the courts, and her family make this right and let her live however she wants to live.”</p>

<p>Timberlake was in a relationship with Spears between 1999 and 2002.</p>

Britney Spears conservatorship: Justin Timberlake, Mariah Carey tweet in support of pop star

<p>Britney Spears has made clear how frustrated she is with the legal arrangement that has controlled her life for 13 years, but the singer will need patience before finding freedom.<br />
<br />
Legal experts say that wanting out of a court-appointed conservatorship is easier said than done. Spears, now 39, will have to convince the judge that she is capable of managing her personal affairs and assets worth around $60 million, according to court documents.<br />
<br />
"Once a person is under a conservatorship it`s difficult to get out of it because the court does not want to remove those protections only to have the conservatee taken advantage of," said Los Angeles-based family lawyer Christopher Melcher. "They would have to demonstrate that it`s no longer necessary," Melcher added.<br />
<br />
In emotional and angry remarks to the judge overseeing her case, Spears on Wednesday described the conservatorship as abusive, stupid, embarrassing and demoralizing. The "Piece of Me" singer begged for the arrangement to be ended without having to undergo more psychological testing.<br />
"I don`t want to be evaluated, to be sat in a room with people four hours a day like they did to me before," she said. "If I can work and provide money and work for myself and pay other people - it makes no sense."<br />
<br />
The conservatorship began in 2008 when Spears suffered a mental health breakdown. The nature of her mental illness has never been disclosed. A year later she made a comeback, released new albums and performed live for 10 years until late 2018.<br />
<br />
Judge Brenda Penny praised Spears for her courage in speaking out but said on Wednesday that Spears needs to submit a petition to the court requesting the termination of the conservatorship before any next steps could be taken. No new dates were set. Under the terms of conservatorships in Calfornia, the judge would usually send a court-appointed investigator to speak with Spears and other interested parties, including the singer`s parents Jamie and Lynne Spears, her care manager and the financial institution that manages her business affairs. The judge would make the final decision.<br />
<br />
"Everybody thinks that you simply walk into court with your case and the judge is going to hear me and the judge is going to understand that what I want is what is right, and they`re going to give that to me. And it simply doesn`t work that way," said Scott Rahn, an attorney with expertise in trusts and conservatorships.<br />
<br />
"It has to be warranted," Rahn added. Spears may have more luck winning a loosening of some of the restrictions she now faces. She mentioned wanting to choose her own attorney, marry and have another baby, have her nails and hair done, and have a therapist come to her rather than vice versa.<br />
<br />
Lisa MacCarley, a probate and conservativship lawyer who supports the #FreeBritney movement, said Spears had been "treated shabbily" under the conservatorship. “Britney Spears needs to get into an office of a competent and independent legal adviser and weigh her options,” MacCarley said.</p>

Britney Spears asks court to end conservatorship: 'I just want my life back'

<p>On Wednesday, singer <strong>Britney Spears</strong> poured her heart out as she detailed her life and how traumatic it has been for the past 13 years under conservatorship. Demanding an end to the legal arrangement, Britney spoke in public for the first time about conservatorship in a 30 minutes long speech.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>Here are the key highlights of Britney's speech</strong><br />
<br />
- <em>I was on tour in 2018. I was forced to do. My management said if I don't do this tour, I will have to find an attorney. My own management could sue me if I didn't follow through with the tour. It was very threatening and scary. And with the conservatorship, I couldn't even get my own attorney. So out of fear, I went ahead and I did the tour.</em><br />
<br />
- <em>Three days after I said no to Vegas tour in 2018, my therapist sat me down in a room and said he had a million phone calls about how I was not cooperating in rehearsals, and I haven't been taking my medication. All this was false.&nbsp;</em><br />
<br />
<em>- I was put on lithium out of nowhere. Lithium is a very, very strong and completely different medication compared to what I was used to. You can go mentally impaired if you take too much, if you stay on it longer than five months. But he put me on that and I felt drunk.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
-<strong> Not only did my family not do a goddamn thing, my dad was all for it. Anything that happened to me had to be approved by my dad. He was the one who approved all of it. My whole family did nothing.</strong><br />
<br />
-The control he (Jamie Spears) had over someone as powerful as me - he loved the control to hurt his own daughter.</em></p>

<p><em>-<strong>I've lied and told the whole world "I'm OK and I'm happy." It's a lie. I thought I just maybe if I said that enough. Because I've been in denial. I've been in shock. I am traumatised. You know, fake it till you make it. But now I'm telling you the truth, OK? I'm not happy. I can't sleep. I'm so angry it's insane. And I'm depressed. I cry every day.</strong><br />
<br />
-My dad and anyone involved in this conservatorship and my management who played a huge role in punishing me - they should be in jail.<br />
<br />
<strong>-I deserve to have a life. I've worked my whole life. I deserve to have a two to three year break and just, you know, do what I want to do.</strong><br />
<br />
-I would like to progressively move forward and I want to have the real deal, I want to be able to get married and have a baby. I was told right now in the conservatorship, I'm not able to get married or have a baby, I have a (IUD) inside of myself right now so I don't get pregnant. I wanted to take the (IUD) out so I could start trying to have another baby.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>- This conservatorship is doing me way more harm than good.</strong><br />
<br />
-I want to meet with a therapist once a week, not twice a week. And I want him to come to my home. Because I actually know I do need a little therapy.<br />
<br />
-I feel like they're making me feel like I live in a rehab programme. This is my home. I'd like for my boyfriend to be able to drive me in his car.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
- I'm not able to see my friends that live eight minutes away from me, which I find extremely strange.<br />
<br />
-<strong> I want changes going forward. I deserve changes. I was told I have to sit down and be evaluated, again, if I want to end the conservatorship. Ma'am, I didn't know I could (contest) the conservatorship.</strong><br />
<br />
- I don't owe these people anything - especially me, the one that has roofed and fed tons of people on tour on the road. It's embarrassing and demoralising - that's the main reason I've never said it openly.<br />
<br />
-The main reason why I'm here is because I want to end the conservatorship without having to be evaluated.<br />
<br />
-Considering my family has lived off my conservatorship for 13 years, I won't be surprised if one of them has something to say going forward, and say, "We don't think this should end, we have to help her." Especially if I get my fair turn exposing what they did to me.</em></p>

On Wednesday, singer Britney Spears poured her heart out as she detailed her life and how traumatic it has been for the past 13 years under conservatorship. Demanding an end to the legal arrangement, Britney spoke in public for the first time about conservatorship in a 30 minutes long speech. Here are the key highlights of Britney's speech - I was on tour in 2018. I was forced to do. My management said if I don't do this tour, I will have to find an attorney. My own management could sue me if I didn't follow through with the tour. It was very threatening and scary. And with the conservatorship, I couldn't even get my own attorney. So out of fear, I went ahead and I did the tour. - Three days after I said no to Vegas tour in 2018, my therapist sat me down in a room and said he had a million phone calls about how I was not cooperating in rehearsals, and I haven't been taking my medication. All this was false. - I was put on lithium out of nowhere. Lithium is a very, very strong and completely different medication compared to what I was used to. You can go mentally impaired if you take too much, if you stay on it longer than five months. But he put me on that and I felt drunk. - Not only did my family not do a goddamn thing, my dad was all for it. Anything that happened to me had to be approved by my dad. He was the one who approved all of it. My whole family did nothing. -The control he (Jamie Spears) had over someone as powerful as me - he loved the control to hurt his own daughter. -I've lied and told the whole world "I'm OK and I'm happy." It's a lie. I thought I just maybe if I said that enough. Because I've been in denial. I've been in shock. I am traumatised. You know, fake it till you make it. But now I'm telling you the truth, OK? I'm not happy. I can't sleep. I'm so angry it's insane. And I'm depressed. I cry every day. -My dad and anyone involved in this conservatorship and my management who played a huge role in punishing me - they should be in jail. -I deserve to have a life. I've worked my whole life. I deserve to have a two to three year break and just, you know, do what I want to do. -I would like to progressively move forward and I want to have the real deal, I want to be able to get married and have a baby. I was told right now in the conservatorship, I'm not able to get married or have a baby, I have a (IUD) inside of myself right now so I don't get pregnant. I wanted to take the (IUD) out so I could start trying to have another baby. - This conservatorship is doing me way more harm than good. -I want to meet with a therapist once a week, not twice a week. And I want him to come to my home. Because I actually know I do need a little therapy. -I feel like they're making me feel like I live in a rehab programme. This is my home. I'd like for my boyfriend to be able to drive me in his car. - I'm not able to see my friends that live eight minutes away from me, which I find extremely strange. - I want changes going forward. I deserve changes. I was told I have to sit down and be evaluated, again, if I want to end the conservatorship. Ma'am, I didn't know I could (contest) the conservatorship. - I don't owe these people anything - especially me, the one that has roofed and fed tons of people on tour on the road. It's embarrassing and demoralising - that's the main reason I've never said it openly. -The main reason why I'm here is because I want to end the conservatorship without having to be evaluated. -Considering my family has lived off my conservatorship for 13 years, I won't be surprised if one of them has something to say going forward, and say, "We don't think this should end, we have to help her." Especially if I get my fair turn exposing what they did to me.

'I'm depressed, cry every day': Everything that Britney Spears said at the court hearing for her conservatorship case

<p>In the years since a judge gave the father of Britney Spears broad control over her life and finances, concerned fans have questioned how the court could continue to deem her unable to protect and care for herself despite the fact that she was still a performing pop star.</p>

<p>Her father and others involved in the conservatorship maintained that it was a smooth-running machine that had rescued her from a low point and benefited Spears, and that she could move to end it whenever she wanted.</p>

<p>All the while, she stayed largely silent on the subject in public.</p>

<p>But now, confidential court records obtained by The New York Times reveal that Spears, 39, expressed serious opposition to the conservatorship earlier and more often than had previously been known, and said that it restricted everything from whom she dated to the color of her kitchen cabinets.</p>

<p>“She articulated she feels the conservatorship has become an oppressive and controlling tool against her,” a court investigator wrote in a 2016 report. The system had “too much control,” Spears said, according to the investigator’s account of the conversation. “Too, too much!”</p>

<p>Spears informed the investigator that she wanted the conservatorship terminated as soon as possible. “She is ‘sick of being taken advantage of’ and she said she is the one working and earning her money but everyone around her is on her payroll,” the investigator wrote.</p>

<p>In 2019, Spears told the court that she had felt forced by the conservatorship into a stay at a mental health facility and to perform against her will.</p>

<p>At the helm of the singer’s life and finances for most of that time was her once-estranged father, James P. Spears. James Spears, known as Jamie, was appointed conservator in 2008, shortly after Britney Spears was twice taken to a hospital by ambulance for involuntary psychiatric evaluations amid a series of public struggles and concerns around her mental health and substance abuse.</p>

<p>The newly obtained court records show that Britney Spears questioned his fitness for the role. As early as 2014, in a hearing closed to the public, her court-appointed lawyer, Samuel D. Ingham III, said she wanted to explore removing her father as conservator, citing his drinking, among other objections on a “shopping list” of grievances.</p>

<p>Last year, Ingham told the judge that Spears was “afraid of her father,” who remains a steward of her nearly $60 million fortune.</p>

<p>On Wednesday, the singer is scheduled to address the Los Angeles court directly — a rare move she requested on an expedited basis. It is unclear whether her remarks will be made in public, but her relationship with her father is expected to be a central topic.</p>

<p>Representatives for Jamie Spears, 68, declined to comment, citing the pending court hearing. But they have previously said the conservatorship was necessary to protect Britney Spears from exploitation and harm and that Jamie Spears has been a dutiful father, acting out of love for his daughter.</p>

<p>“Any time Britney wants to end her conservatorship, she can ask her lawyer to file a petition to terminate it; she has always had this right but in 13 years has never exercised it,” Vivian Lee Thoreen, a lawyer for Jamie Spears, said in a statement to People earlier this year. “Britney knows that her Daddy loves her, and that he will be there for her whenever and if she needs him, just as he always has been — conservatorship or not.”</p>

<p>Theirs has long been a difficult and dysfunctional relationship, according to the court records and interviews with many people who know the family. But that dynamic grew even more complicated after Jamie Spears — a recovering alcoholic who has faced accusations of physical and verbal abuse — took the lead in wrestling what he saw as his adult daughter’s demons.</p>

<p>Spears said her father was “obsessed” with her and wanted to control everything about her, according to the investigator’s report. She could not make friends without his approval.</p>

<p>Even as she earned millions from a successful Las Vegas residency, she said she was limited to a $2,000 weekly allowance, according to the records.</p>

<p>Any mistakes resulted in “very harsh” consequences, Spears added, according to the report. The conservatorship “comes with a lot of fear,” she said.</p>

<p>After consulting with Spears, her conservators and her doctors, the probate investigator concluded in 2016 that the conservatorship remained in Spears’ best interests based on her complex finances, susceptibility to undue influence and “intermittent” drug issues, though the report called for “a pathway to independence and the eventual termination of the conservatorship.”</p>

<p>The records provide only a snapshot of Spears’ sentiments and situation throughout a 13-year saga. Still, they present in great detail her discontent with the arrangement, in particular her concerns that her views about her father’s behavior were not being appropriately considered.</p>

<p>Experts say conservatorships should prioritize the wishes of the conservatee and help them regain their independence. The arrangements are supposed to be a last resort for people who cannot take care of their basic needs, such as those with significant disabilities or older people with dementia, yet Spears has been able to perform and profit for more than a decade.</p>

<p><strong>Jamie and Britney</strong></p>

<p>What the court records make clear is that the battle over the conservatorship is rooted in the family’s troubled history.</p>

<p>Debbie Sanders Cross, Jamie Spears’ first wife, who remains his friend, said his own “very difficult upbringing” had influenced his perspective. “I really think that’s why he’s trying to be so protective of Britney,” she said.</p>

<p>Jamie Spears had spent much of his life in Kentwood, a tiny Louisiana town where he was a star quarterback. His father, a boilermaker, was strict and demanding. “His daddy was so hard on him, but Jamie loved him and respected him,” Jamie Spears’ former football coach, Elton Shaw, recalled.</p>

<p>Jamie Spears’ youth was marked by tragedy: His mother died by suicide on the grave of her infant son when Jamie Spears was 13, according to the local paper. Jamie Spears survived a car accident that killed a football teammate four years later. At 22, he was arrested on drug and driving while intoxicated charges, according to a news report.</p>

<p>When Lynne Spears, his second wife and Britney’s mother, filed for divorce in 1980, she requested a temporary restraining order, citing a fear that he would “become angry when he is served with these papers” and harass or harm her, “especially if he has been drinking alcoholic beverages, as he has done in the past.”</p>

<p>The couple reconciled, but Jamie Spears’ instability haunted Spears’ childhood, the family has said. In her 2008 memoir, Lynne Spears recalled years of “verbal abuse, abandonment” and “erratic behavior.”</p>

<p>The family struggled financially, and in 1998, just months before the release of &nbsp;Spears’ blockbuster first album, the Spearses filed for bankruptcy. The couple divorced in 2002.</p>

<p>Jamie Spears was present only intermittently during his daughter’s rise to pop stardom. In 2004, according to a court filing, he went to rehab for alcoholism at the urging of his daughter.</p>

<p>But by 2007, Spears was struggling herself. Humiliation by the press, stalking by the paparazzi, speculation around her mental health and substance abuse and a custody battle over her two young sons helped lead Spears to a breaking point.</p>

<p>Jamie Spears reappeared for what he and his ex-wife, Lynne Spears, viewed as an urgent rescue mission.</p>

<p>Along with his business manager, Louise M. Taylor, he prayed and fasted before he petitioned a judge for a temporary conservatorship of &nbsp;Spears, Lynne Spears wrote in her memoir. Taylor later became a business manager of Britney Spears’ estate and an architect of her comeback.</p>

<p>The singer stressed that she did not want her father in charge, a lawyer she consulted at the time has said. But the judge overseeing the case, Reva Goetz, deemed Spears incapable of hiring her own counsel and appointed Ingham, the lawyer who represents her to this day.</p>

<p>In February 2008, according to court records, Goetz deemed Jamie Spears “a suitable and qualified person” and granted him broad control over his daughter’s daily life and, alongside a co-conservator, her finances.</p>

<p>“Everything he does, he feels is in the best interest of his daughters and his family,” said Mitch Covington, a friend of Jamie Spears’.</p>

<p>Spears quickly went back to work. Within a year of being deemed unable to care for herself, she guest-starred on national television, released a No. 1 album and was preparing to embark on a run of almost 100 shows around the world.</p>

<p>Aside from his salary as conservator — now about $16,000 per month, plus $2,000 a month for office space rent — Jamie Spears was approved by the court to receive a percentage of various deals signed for his daughter.</p>

<p>In 2011, he received a 2.95% commission for his work on &nbsp;Spears’ successful Femme Fatale tour. And in 2014, he was granted 1.5% of gross revenues from the performances and merchandising tied to her Las Vegas residency, “Piece of Me,” which went on to earn a reported $138 million across nearly 250 shows.</p>

<p>The dual role of looking out for Britney Spears’ best interests as conservator and reaping more profits each time she performed was “fraught with conflict,” according to W. Michael Hensley, a probate lawyer in California who works as a fee examination expert and is not involved in the Spears case.</p>

<p><strong>Questioning her father’s role</strong></p>

<p>Confidential court records reveal &nbsp;Spears’ concerns that her father was hardly the person to be setting, and enforcing, the rules that governed her life.</p>

<p>Spears’ first tour under the conservatorship, The Circus Starring Britney Spears, was designed to be a dry one, with cast and crew forbidden from drinking alcohol — or even energy drinks — around her, according to three people who worked on it.</p>

<p>During this period, a former nanny and housekeeper for &nbsp;Spears claimed Jamie Spears engaged in “verbal abuse, tirades, inappropriate behavior and alcoholic relapses,” according to a legal letter sent in 2010 that threatened a lawsuit.</p>

<p>In 2014, Ingham told the court that Spears believed her father was drinking, according to a transcript of the closed hearing. Lawyers representing the conservatorship responded that Jamie Spears had voluntarily submitted to regularly scheduled alcohol tests and never failed. Jamie Spears’ lawyer said he took one random test, but refused to take any more, calling the request inappropriate.</p>

<p>Ingham also raised Spears’ urgent desire to terminate the conservatorship altogether. She had even mentioned the possibility of changing her lifestyle and retiring, but believed the conservatorship precluded that, he said, according to a transcript.</p>

<p>The judge said that she would consider ending the conservatorship if the singer established a healthy relationship with a therapist and returned one year’s worth of clean drug tests. But the judge would not guarantee it.</p>

<p><strong>Behind closed doors</strong></p>

<p>In 2016, Spears released her ninth studio album and performed more than 50 times in Las Vegas. But in private, she was again protesting the conservatorship, according to a report written by a probate investigator. (In California conservatorships, a court investigator conducts periodic reviews for the judge.)</p>

<p>Spears told the investigator that she was “very angry” about the way her life was being run, and described security around her at all times. She was also being tested for drugs numerous times weekly, and her credit card was held by her security team or assistant and used at their discretion, the report said.</p>

<p>Spears wanted to make cosmetic changes to her home, like re-staining her kitchen cabinets, she told the investigator, but was forbidden by her father, who told her too much money was being spent.</p>

<p>The public image of Spears’ life gave little sense of the turmoil she was expressing privately. An Instagram feed presented her as playfully approachable, and a new, lucrative Las Vegas show was set to begin in February 2019.</p>

<p>Then, a month before the opening, Spears announced an “indefinite work hiatus,” canceling the residency. Jamie Spears had “almost died” after suffering a ruptured colon, according to a statement, which noted the pair’s “very special relationship.”</p>

<p>That spring, Spears appeared at a closed-door hearing and read a statement. According to a transcript, she asserted that she had been forced into a mental health facility against her will on exaggerated grounds, which she viewed as punishment for standing up for herself and making an objection during a rehearsal.</p>

<p>By September 2020, a flurry of courtroom activity indicated publicly that something had shifted. Ingham filed court papers saying that Spears “is vehemently opposed to this effort by her father to keep her legal struggle hidden away in the closet as a family secret.”</p>

<p>At a public court hearing in November, Spears’ mother moved to support the removal of Jamie Spears as conservator. Through a lawyer, she called the father-daughter relationship “toxic” and said it was “time to start fresh,” adding that Jamie Spears had referred to his daughter as “a racehorse who has to be handled like one.”</p>

<p>That day, Judge Brenda Penny, who had replaced Goetz on the case, declined a request from Ingham to suspend Jamie Spears immediately, but left the door open to consider removing him in the future. Penny approved a wealth management firm to serve as co-conservator of the estate alongside Jamie Spears.</p>

<p>Ingham has not filed a petition to remove Jamie Spears permanently.</p>

Britney Spears quietly pushed for years to end her conservatorship

Roberto Novo has styled the hair of a constellation of stars, from singer Britney Spears to supermodel Naomi Campbell. But during the pandemic, he's turned his talents to the heads of other very important people, older New Yorkers — and he's done it for free.

Stylist gives free haircuts to older New Yorkers

<p>Pop singer Britney Spears spoke out on Tuesday about recent documentaries about her life and career, calling them "hypocritical" because they rehash her personal problems while criticising the media for reporting them the first time.<br />
<br />
Walt Disney Co`s FX network and The New York Times released "Framing Britney Spears" in February. The documentary examined the singer`s meteoric rise to fame as a teenager, the ensuing media scrutiny and her widely publicised breakdown.</p>

<p>And this month, the BBC released "The Battle for Britney: Fans, Cash and a Conservatorship" in Britain. It will debut in the United States and Canada starting May 11 via the BBC Select streaming service.</p>

<p>In an Instagram post, Spears did not name either documentary but said "so many documentaries about me this year with other people`s takes on my life."</p>

<p>"These documentaries are so hypocritical ... they criticize the media and then do the same thing," she added.<br />
<br />
In March, Spears said she cried for two weeks after watching part of "Framing Britney Spears". The BBC said in a statement on Tuesday that its documentary "explores the complexities surrounding conservatorship with care and sensitivity."<br />
<br />
"It does not take sides and features a wide range of contributors," the statement added. A New York Times spokesperson declined to comment.<br />

Pop singer Britney Spears spoke out on Tuesday about recent documentaries about her life and career, calling them "hypocritical" because they rehash her personal problems while criticising the media for reporting them the first time. Walt Disney Co`s FX network and The New York Times released "Framing Britney Spears" in February. The documentary examined the singer`s meteoric rise to fame as a teenager, the ensuing media scrutiny and her widely publicised breakdown. And this month, the BBC released "The Battle for Britney: Fans, Cash and a Conservatorship" in Britain. It will debut in the United States and Canada starting May 11 via the BBC Select streaming service.

"These documentaries are so hypocritical ... they criticize the media and then do the same thing," she added. In March, Spears said she cried for two weeks after watching part of "Framing Britney Spears". The BBC said in a statement on Tuesday that its documentary "explores the complexities surrounding conservatorship with care and sensitivity." "It does not take sides and features a wide range of contributors," the statement added. A New York Times spokesperson declined to comment.

Britney Spears has a special message for fans 'concerned with her life'

Britney Spears has a mystery of colour red on her Instagram profile. On Friday, April 9, the 39-year-old pop star shared a photo to Instagram of herself wearing fingerless red gloves under a sheer blacktop. In the pic, she put her hands on her face. She captioned it, "RED IS HERE [red-lips emojis] !!!!" View this post on Instagram A post shared by Britney Spears (@britneyspears) × This followed a slew of previous Instagram posts in which the star had appeared to tease some kind of big project or moment involving the aforementioned colour. On March 23, she shared a couple of posts referencing red, although neither of them contained any obvious red. "Twisted Elegance … introducing RED," she captioned a carousel of photos of herself in a lace top. A couple of hours later, she shared a video of herself dancing in the same outfit. "No lipstick … blush … or foundation cause I was in a rush … but you get the idea !!!!! RED [chile-pepper emoji] !!!!!" she wrote. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Britney Spears (@britneyspears) × Later that month, she posted a number of images that did in fact show red, including a red refrigerator and a cat in a red shelving unit. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Britney Spears (@britneyspears) × Still, her April 9 post didn't exactly clear up any lingering confusion for fans. "WHATS RED BESTIE," one user commented. Another fan wrote, "Use me as the 'I don't understand' button." Fans have felt increasing concern for the singer ever since the February release of the FX documentary 'Framing Britney Spears,' which focuses on her conservatorship situation with father Jamie Spears.

<p>Jamie Spears and his daughter, pop star Britney Spears, may be fighting a bitter legal battle against each other over her conservatorship but Jamie wants her to pay his legal fees.<br />
<br />
A declaration has been filed by Jamie's attorney recently, wherein he has requested the 39-year-old singer to cover the costs of nearly $2 million of his legal expenditure.<br />
<br />
Jamie is also requesting to be compensated for the time he spent as his daughter's conservator from the period of Nov 1, 2019 to Feb&nbsp;28, 2021. The court document notes that payments for his time as conservator up to Oct&nbsp;31, 2019 have already been approved.<br />
<br />
"I am authorised and allowed to receive compensation through my personal services corporation Spears Management, Inc., for services performed as Conservator of the Estate of Britney Jean Spears, in the amount of $16,000 monthly plus $2,000 monthly for the cost of an office space in a secure location that is dedicated to Ms. Spears' activities," Jamie states in the filing.<br />
<br />
Britney is currently embroiled in a legal battle with her father for conservatorship. Jamie has been serving as Britney's conservator since 2008. In recent years, especially in 2020, fans of the pop star started the 'Free Britney Spears' movement demanding the removal of Jamie as her conservator. Under conservatorship, Britney has no control over her own life or her finances.<br />
<br />
In 2019, Jamie had stepped down from his role due to health reasons and Jodi Montgomery was made the temporary conservator. In recent weeks, Britney's attorney has requested the court to appoint Montgomery as the permanent conservator.<br />
<br />
Currently, both Jamie and Bessemer Trust oversee Spears' estate, which includes all of her financial decisions, and Jamie will have a chance to object to any petition to completely remove him from his post as co-conservator.<br />
<br />
Britney Spears was put under conservatorship after she had a series of public meltdowns in 2007.</p>

Sharon Stone has opened up about her bond with singer Britney Spears. Stone is currently promoting her new memoir 'The Beauty Of Living Twice' and in one of the interviews revealed that how Spears had reached out to her in 2007 when her meltdown was widely being discussed in the press. Stone appeared on 'The Kelly Clarkson Show' on Wednesday and said that Spears had written her a long letter at that time. “Britney wrote to me a very long and important, poignant letter during a very difficult time in her life ― about the time when people would recognize her for when she shaved her head ― wanting me to help her,” Stone told Clarkson. Sharon Stone claims 'Basic Instinct' producer asked her to sleep with a co-actor for better chemistry “I was in a very difficult time of my life and I couldn’t help myself. The truth of the matter is, we both needed help. She needed help and I needed help," the actress said. Stone was asked to comment on a photo of her that Spears posted to Instagram last week as part of a series that included Miley Cyrus and Sarah Jessica Parker. The singer had listed the actress as someone she admired and took inspiration from.

<p>Support may have poured in for Britney Spears from all quarters after watching the documentary 'Framing Britney Spears' but the singer is reportedly not a fan.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The 39-year-old pop icon was the subject of the television documentary that was released in early February this year.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The show narrated incidents from her life and career- including the well-publicized public meltdown - that led to conservatorship.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Since the documentary aired, several celebrities and fans have spoken in support of Britney but the singer has remained mum on the subject.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
On Tuesday, Britney broke her silence as she took to Instagram to express her thoughts on the film.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"My life has always been very speculated ...watched ... and judged really my whole life !!!" she began in the caption. "For my sanity, I need to dance to [Steven Tyler] every night of my life to feel wild and human and alive !!!"<br />
<br />
Britney also said that because she's performed in front of crowds for a great deal of her life, she's always been "exposed" and that "it takes a lot of strength to TRUST the universe with your real vulnerability."</p>

Support may have poured in for Britney Spears from all quarters after watching the documentary 'Framing Britney Spears' but the singer is reportedly not a fan. The 39-year-old pop icon was the subject of the television documentary that was released in early February this year. The show narrated incidents from her life and career- including the well-publicized public meltdown - that led to conservatorship. Since the documentary aired, several celebrities and fans have spoken in support of Britney but the singer has remained mum on the subject. On Tuesday, Britney broke her silence as she took to Instagram to express her thoughts on the film. "My life has always been very speculated ...watched ... and judged really my whole life !!!" she began in the caption. "For my sanity, I need to dance to [Steven Tyler] every night of my life to feel wild and human and alive !!!" Britney also said that because she's performed in front of crowds for a great deal of her life, she's always been "exposed" and that "it takes a lot of strength to TRUST the universe with your real vulnerability."

Britney Spears says her mom wants her to sing again, shares throwback video

<p>Britney Spears wants the court to make her temporary conservator and care manager Jodi Montgomery, a permanent conservator. The singer's lawyer is planning to file a petition on the same. The singer's father Jamie Spears, stepped down in 2019 from his role of her conservator owing to health reasons and Montgomery was made Britney's temporary conservator.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Now the Grammy-winning star along with her attorney is planning to file a petition requesting Montgomery to appoint as the singer`s permanent conservator.&nbsp;The request will be presented in court on April 27 this year.<br />
<br />
While Jamie has stepped down as a conservator, he still oversees Spear`s estate with Bessemer Trust at present.<br />
<br />
Media reports state that Wednesday`s accounting hearing was set to see the superstar`s co-conservators of her estate, Jamie and new party Bessemer Trust to detail Spears` finances to the court. However, the consultation was preceded to the April date of hearing as the parties work to decide a precise rundown of resources and holdings and where the finances were spent.<br />
<br />
David Glass, a professional family law attorney and PhD in Clinical Psychology gave his opinions and future aspects to Fox News and weighed in on Wednesday`s proceedings surrounding the petition, which he said, could be the first real step to dissolving the collective conservatorship altogether."Right now, the conservators of the estate and the financial matters are Jamie and this Bessemer Trust. And so now he`s asking for this Jodi Montgomery to become the permanent conservator of the person," Glass told the outlet minutes after the hearing concluded.<br />
<br />
Glass called the potential move a big step up for Montgomery, who had stepped into the primary role of conservator in 2019 on a temporary basis.He described the role of a care manager and said that it is a person who just makes personal decisions for medical treatment and whether the star needs bodyguards. All sorts of the stated decisions except money issues for a concerned person are taken by a care manager.<br />
<br />
Glass added that the transition to elevate Montgomery gives off an impression of being the most reasonable action considering the fact that she is as of now Spears` care manager, a position that is one step below the conservator."The care person collects information on the conservative`s health and their medical records and what their doctors say and then summarizes that information and gives it to the conservatory. So in that sense, it`s a step up for Ms Montgomery," Glass added.<br />
<br />
On the contrary, the attorney also alerted that Spear`s father Jamie will also have an opportunity to object to the petition to appoint Montgomery as the primary conservator as well."It`s rare that a probate court will rule just based on the papers. They almost always go to some sort of evidentiary objection, evidentiary hearing," he continued.<br />
The songstress` father Jamie has been the target of the #FreeBritney movement since the consideration was set on the artist following the release of her documentary `Framing Britney Spears`.<br />
<br />
At present, the conservatorship gives Jamie control on the star`s domain. However, Spears recently began finding lawful steps to recover agency over her life.&nbsp;</p>

Britney Spears' boyfriend Sam Asghari talks about his relationship, says 'wants to be a young dad'

<p>Britney Spears` and her fans have been demanding for the removal of her dad Jamie Spears from the role of a conservator, but Jamie&nbsp;insists every decision he makes is in the singer`s best interest.<br />
<br />
Britney has been under a conservatorship imposed by the court with&nbsp;her father as her conservator since her breakdown 12 years ago after which she was hospitalised and admitted to rehab. Over the years, fans of the singer started the #FreeBritney movement which gained momentum last year and the singer eventually filed a case seeking the removal of her father as her conservator.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In an interview with CNN, Jamie&nbsp;said he hoped his daughter ends her conservatorship, a situation where a legal guardian is appointed by a judge to manage someone`s financial affairs.<br />
<br />
Jamie Spears` contention has also been corroborated by his lawyer. "(Jamie) would love nothing more than to see Britney not need a conservatorship. Whether or not there is an end to the conservatorship really depends on Britney. If she wants to end her conservatorship, she can file a petition to end it," said the lawyer Vivian Lee Thoreen.<br />

<p>As recent as last month, the court stated that Jamie Spears would continue to remain Britney's conservator.&nbsp;<br />

Britney Spears` and her fans have been demanding for the removal of her dad Jamie Spears from the role of a conservator, but Jamie insists every decision he makes is in the singer`s best interest. Britney has been under a conservatorship imposed by the court with her father as her conservator since her breakdown 12 years ago after which she was hospitalised and admitted to rehab. Over the years, fans of the singer started the #FreeBritney movement which gained momentum last year and the singer eventually filed a case seeking the removal of her father as her conservator. In an interview with CNN, Jamie said he hoped his daughter ends her conservatorship, a situation where a legal guardian is appointed by a judge to manage someone`s financial affairs. Jamie Spears` contention has also been corroborated by his lawyer. "(Jamie) would love nothing more than to see Britney not need a conservatorship. Whether or not there is an end to the conservatorship really depends on Britney. If she wants to end her conservatorship, she can file a petition to end it," said the lawyer Vivian Lee Thoreen. From shaving head to umbrella attack: 6 times Britney Spears made headlines for wrong reasons As recent as last month, the court stated that Jamie Spears would continue to remain Britney's conservator. Thoreen added, "Jamie is not suggesting that he is the perfect dad or that he would receive any `Father of the Year` award. Like any parent, he doesn`t always see eye-to-eye on what Britney may want. But Jamie believes every single decision he has made has been in her best interest."
