Britney Spears burst into tears after learning about her father's suspension: Reports

<p>Popstar Britney Spears can finally heave a sigh of relief as on Wednesday, her father Jamie Spears was suspended from the role of her conservator.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The singer has been under conservatorship since 2008. Her father Jamie Spears was made her conservator by the court which allowed him to make all decisions regarding Spears life.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Over the years, fans of the singer were convinced that Britney was sending signals of help and started the 'Free Britney' movement which gained momentum last year.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Here's a look at a timeline of her conservatorship case.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/free-britney-spears-gains-momentum-on-the-internet-as-fans-sign-petition-to-end-her-conservatorship-313279">Also read:&nbsp;'Free Britney Spears' gains momentum on the Internet as fans sign petition to end her conservatorship</a><br />
<br />
<strong>Late 2000s</strong><br />
<br />
The singer's erratic&nbsp;behaviour and public meltdown drew attention of the media with most wondering if she was mentally unwell.&nbsp;<br />
The singer was spotted driving her car with her infant son in her lap on one occasion while another time she publicly shaved her head in public and attacked a paparazzi's car with a baseball bat.<br />
<br />
The star also took several trips to rehab and was hospitalised for mental illness twice. Eventually she lost custody of her two kids to husband, Kevin Federline.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>2008</strong><br />
<br />
After Britney's second psychiatric hold, her father Jamie Spears petitioned to the Los Angeles County Superior Court for an emergency "temporary conservatorship" over his daughter. Spears senior was declared as his daughter's conservator by the court which gave him complete control over Britney's estate and her well-being along with co-conservator Andrew Wallet who handled her money.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Britney's father also got control over her life, and had the rights to restrict who she meets, her business deals and what she even eats.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
By the end of 2008, Jamie was made her permanent conservator.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>2009</strong><br />
<br />
The movement that has now become the #FreeBritney movement, saw its origin a year after Jamie took control of Britney's life and estate.</p>

<p>A website by the name FreeBritney.net started in 2009 which questioned the court's order with fans questioning the importance of legal guardianship for their favourite star.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Since then, the cause has gained a massive amount of followers and protests are frequently held outside of courthouses during hearings regarding the case.</p>

<p><strong>2019</strong><br />
<br />
Britney remained active in the music scene despite being under conservatorship for over 10 years without speaking much about it.<br />
<br />
In early 2019, Spears cancelled her upcoming Vegas residency and announced "an indefinite work hiatus," due to her father's poor health.<br />
<br />
In March, Wallet stepped down as co-conservator and suggested the court accept his resignation Without citing a proper reason, Wallet simply stated to the court that Britney would "substantial detriment, irreparable harm and immediate danger" if he didn’t step down, media reported.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Soon after Wallet's exit, the singer checked into a mental health facility for a month-long stay.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Late 2019</strong><br />
<br />
The same Jamie stepped out down temporarily from his role as a conservator and a judge approved the singer’s longtime "care-manager" Jodi Montgomery to take over the role.<br />
<br />
Jamie's decision, according to reports, came after an altercation with Britney's son. Although in court he stated bad health as the reason for taking time off.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>2020</strong><br />
<br />
#FreeBritney movement gained momentum as fans rallied for the singer and argued on social media that the singer was sending signals asking for help through her various social media posts.&nbsp;</p>

<br />
Over 134,000 concerned fans signed a petition asking for Spears to get her own lawyer and finally get out of the conservatorship.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Britney's conservatorship was extended by the court owing to the pandemic keeping in mind the social distancing norms.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Jamie faced a major setback when Britney's brother, Bryan Spears, said that his sister has "always wanted to get out of the "guardianship."<br />
<br />
"She's been in this thing for quite some time now. Obviously, there was a need for it in the beginning," Bryan said during an appearance on the 'As NOT Seen on TV' podcast. "Now they've made some changes and all we can do is hope for the best!"<br />
<br />
Britney also opposed the idea of reinstating Jamie as the co-conservator. Her conservatorship was however extended to 2021.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>2021</strong><br />
<br />
Documentary&nbsp;'Framing Britney Spears' released showed the events that led to Britney's conservatorship in the first place. The documentary clearly showed how the media hounded Britney for years and created a certain image of the singer which she had desired to break free of.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The star reportedly suggested that a trust company take over her conservatorship and formally asked the court to nix Jamie's return, and eventually, a judge ruled that Jamie and Bessemer Trust Co. would work together to oversee the star's estate.<br />
<br />
Jamie&nbsp;meanwhile, declares&nbsp;that his daughter has dementia and hence cannot be removed from conservatorship.</p>

<p><strong>June 2021</strong><br />
<br />
Britney makes her first appearance in court( virtually) and breaks her silence on being under conservatorship for 13 years. The singer explicitly addresses her desire to end her "abusive" conservatorship, gives details on how her life has been controlled by her father who she demands should be 'jailed'. Expresses a desire to get married and have children and her IUD removed.<br />
<br />
<strong>July 2021</strong><br />
<br />
After Britney's explosive testimony, several of her close aides resign including her manager Larry Rudolph who handled her career for over 25 years and her lawyer of 13 years Samuel Ingham.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Soon after Britney is allowed to pick her own attorney. The singer chooses &nbsp;Hollywood power lawyer Mathew Rosengart of Greenberg Traurig in her pursuit of ending the arrangement.<br />
<br />
She also calls out her father and sister in a social media post soon after. For those of you who choose to criticize my dancing videos ... look I'm not gonna be performing on any stages anytime soon with my dad handling what I wear, say, do, or think !!!!" she wrote, before adding, "I don't like that my sister showed up at an award show and performed MY SONGS to remixes !!!!!"<br />
<br />
Rosengart moves swiftly and files petitition to officially request the replacement of Jamie Spears as conservator. The petition seeks to appoint CPA Jason Rubin as the next conservator of the pop star's estate and notes that she selected him herself.</p>

<p><strong>August 2021</strong><br />
<br />
Jamie Spears reluctantly agrees to step away from his responsibilities as conservator of the pop star's estate after initially denying to do so. "Even as Mr Spears is the unremitting target of unjustified attacks, he does not believe that a public battle with his daughter over his continuing service as her conservator would be in her best interests," his lawyer said in the court filing. "So even though he must contest this unjustified Petition for his removal, Mr Spears intends to work with the Court and his daughter’s new attorney to prepare for an orderly transition to a new conservator."<br />
<br />
Days later Rosengart filed a supplemental petition to suspend and remove Jamie from the conservatorship immediately. Rosengart argued that Jamie's filing was proof that he is more concerned for his own well-being instead of his daughter's.</p>

Jamie Spears surprises everyone as he files petition to end Britney's conservatorship. "As Mr Spears has said again and again, all he wants is what is best for his daughter," the document says. "If Ms Spears wants to terminate the conservatorship and believes that she can handle her own life, Mr Spears believes that she should get that chance."</p>

Britney Spears' lawyer says dad 'crossed unfathomable lines' by monitoring her calls

<p>Britney Spears’ father and the security firm he hired to protect her ran an intense surveillance apparatus that monitored her communications and secretly captured audio recordings from her bedroom, including her interactions and conversations with her boyfriend and children, according to a former employee of the security firm.</p>

<p>Alex Vlasov, the employee, supported his claims with emails, text messages and audio recordings he was privy to in his nine years as an executive assistant and operations and cybersecurity manager for Black Box, the security firm. He came forward for a new documentary by The New York Times, “Controlling Britney Spears,” which was released Friday.</p>

<p>Recording conversations in a private place and mirroring text messages without the consent of both parties can be a violation of the law. It is unclear if the court overseeing Spears’ conservatorship was aware of or had approved the surveillance.</p>

<p>Vlasov’s account, and his trove of materials, create the most detailed portrait yet of what Spears’ life has been like under the conservatorship for the past 13 years. Vlasov said the relentless surveillance operation had helped several people linked to the conservatorship — primarily her father, James P. Spears — control nearly every aspect of her life.</p>

<p>“It really reminded me of somebody that was in prison,” said Vlasov, 30. “And security was put in a position to be the prison guards essentially.”</p>

<p>In response to detailed questions from The Times, a lawyer for James Spears issued a statement: “All of his actions were well within the parameters of the authority conferred upon him by the court. His actions were done with the knowledge and consent of Britney, her court-appointed attorney, and/or the court. Jamie’s record as conservator — and the court’s approval of his actions — speak for themselves.”</p>

<p>Edan Yemini, chief executive and founder of Black Box Security, also did not respond to detailed questions. In a statement, his lawyer said, “Mr. Yemini and Black Box have always conducted themselves within professional, ethical and legal bounds, and they are particularly proud of their work in keeping Ms. Spears safe for many years.”</p>

<p>Britney Spears’ lawyer, Mathew S. Rosengart, said in a statement: “Any unauthorized intercepting or monitoring of Britney’s communications — especially attorney-client communications, which are a sacrosanct part of the legal system — would represent a shameful violation of her privacy rights and a striking example of the deprivation of her civil liberties.</p>

<p>“Placing a listening device in Britney’s bedroom would be particularly inexcusable and disgraceful, and corroborates so much of her compelling, poignant testimony,” Rosengart said. “These actions must be fully and aggressively investigated.”</p>

<p>Vlasov said his superiors had often told him that the severe surveillance measures were necessary to properly protect Spears and that she wanted to be in the conservatorship. He said he had felt compelled to share his information after hearing Spears’ comments to the court in June, when she excoriated the judicial system, her conservators and her managers. She called the arrangement abusive.</p>

<p>Spears’ father, who is known as Jamie, was appointed conservator in 2008, shortly after Britney Spears was twice taken to the hospital by ambulance for involuntary psychiatric evaluations amid a series of public struggles and concerns around her mental health and potential substance abuse. He was given broad control over her life and estate, including the power to retain round-the-clock security for Britney Spears.</p>

<p>Jamie Spears and others involved in the conservatorship have insisted that it was a smooth-running operation that worked in the best interest of his daughter. But in the wake of Britney Spears’ comments in court in June, the judge authorized her to choose her own lawyer, Rosengart, for the first time. Rosengart swiftly filed to remove Jamie Spears as the conservator of the singer’s estate. After consistently arguing that there were no grounds for his removal, Jamie Spears abruptly asked the court Sept. 7 to consider whether to terminate the conservatorship entirely.</p>

<p>Rosengart’s and Jamie Spears’ requests are expected to be considered at a hearing scheduled for Wednesday.</p>

<p><strong>The Security Company&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>The security team’s role has long been a mystery.</p>

<p>Yemini, the Black Box Security founder, was born in Israel and is described on a company website as having a background in the Israeli Special Forces. The Spears account helped Black Box grow from a tiny operation to a prominent player in the celebrity security industry. It counts the Kardashians, Miley Cyrus and Lana Del Rey among its clients.</p>

<p>Vlasov joined Black Box in 2012 as a 21-year-old college student, excited by the opportunity to master the security industry. He started as Yemini’s assistant and grew into a role that encompassed wide responsibilities over operations and digital management. “I did everything from write his messages, write his emails, to be on all phone conversations in order to take notes for him,” Vlasov said. “I was the only person at Black Box that knew everything, really.”</p>

<p>He generally worked at Black Box’s office in the Woodland Hills area of Los Angeles and seldom saw Britney Spears in person, he said. But through the surveillance apparatus and his close work with Yemini and his colleagues, Vlasov said, he had a uniquely comprehensive view of her life.</p>

<p>Vlasov said that Spears’ phone had been monitored using a clever tech setup: The iCloud account on her phone was mirrored on an iPad and later on an iPod. Yemini would have Vlasov encrypt Spears’ digital communications captured on the iPad and iPod to send to Jamie Spears and Robin Greenhill, an employee of Tri Star Sports &amp;amp; Entertainment Group, the former business manager for the singer’s estate.</p>

<p>This arrangement allowed them to monitor all text messages, FaceTime calls, notes, browser history and photographs.</p>

<p>“Her own phone and her own private conversations were used so often to control her,” Vlasov said.</p>

<p>In response to questions about the surveillance operation, a lawyer for Tri Star Sports &amp;amp; Entertainment Group said: “These allegations are not true. Ms. Greenhill was only involved in Ms. Spears’ security to the extent Ms. Spears requested her involvement, as well as Tri Star’s role of issuing the payments to the security company.” The lawyer did not respond to follow-up questions specifically asking whether Greenhill had ever received copies of or reports on the contents of Spears’ text communications.</p>

<p>Vlasov said the reason Yemini had given for monitoring Spears’ phone was to protect her from harm and bad influences. But Jamie Spears monitored his daughter’s text-message conversations with her mother, her boyfriend, her close friends and even her court-appointed lawyer, according to screenshots of messages provided to The Times.</p>

<p>Vlasov’s accounts of how Britney Spears’ life was controlled by the security team were confirmed by others with firsthand knowledge of the conservatorship who requested anonymity. They said Spears essentially could not leave her home without the presence of security personnel, who would inform Yemini, Jamie Spears and Greenhill of the singer’s movements via group chat.</p>

<p>As conservator of the estate, Jamie Spears controls his 39-year-old daughter’s nearly $60 million fortune and has the authority to employ workers for her.</p>

<p>Vlasov said Yemini and another Black Box employee had once given him a portable USB drive and asked him to delete the audio recordings on it.</p>

<p>“I had them tell me what was on it,” Vlasov said. “They seemed very nervous and said that it was extremely sensitive, that nobody can ever know about this and that’s why I need to delete everything on it, so there’s no record of it. That raised so many red flags with me, and I did not want to be complicit in whatever they were involved in, so I kept a copy, because I don’t want to delete evidence.”</p>

<p>The drive, he discovered, contained audio recordings from a device that was secretly placed in Spears’ bedroom — more than 180 hours of recordings. Vlasov said he had thought the timing was curious because some of the recordings were made around the time that a court investigator visited Spears to perform a periodic review in September 2016.</p>

<p><strong>'She Did Not Want to Be There'</strong></p>

<p>Spears spent time at a mental health treatment facility in 2019 — a stay that appears to have been a turning point in the conservatorship. Who exactly sent her there, for what reason and whether she went on her own volition are in dispute.</p>

<p>Jamie Spears and others involved with the conservatorship have said that she consented to go to the facility and that she was aware that no one could force her to stay. Conservators are not allowed to force a conservatee into a mental health treatment facility against their will.</p>

<p>“She did not want to be there,” Vlasov said. “I heard this from multiple people, including Robin and Jamie themselves when they would talk on the phone to Edan. I overheard multiple conversations where they knew Britney didn’t want to be there.”</p>

<p>The Times obtained text messages that Spears had sent from the facility that said she felt she was there involuntarily and that she could not leave, noting that security personnel were at the door at all times. Spears told a judge later in 2019 that she had felt she was forced into the facility, according to a transcript of the closed-door hearing. She repeated that claim to the court publicly in June.</p>

<p>Vlasov shared digital communication that showed how Spears, while in the facility, had tried to hire a new lawyer to replace her court-appointed lawyer — and that Jamie Spears and others had monitored that effort.</p>

<p>Vlasov recalled that “one of the biggest ‘aha,’ red-flag moments” in his tenure at Black Box had happened in August 2020, when Spears’ court-appointed lawyer, Samuel D. Ingham III, sent an email to Jamie Spears’ lawyers and Yemini, asking for written confirmation that Britney Spears’ new phone was not being monitored.</p>

<p>“Ethically, I need to get written confirmation that no one other than my client can access her calls, voice-mail messages or texts directly or indirectly,” Ingham wrote in the email, which was reviewed by The Times.</p>

<p>Geraldine Wyle, a lawyer for Jamie Spears, responded: “Jamie confirms that he has no access to her calls, voice-mail messages, or texts.”</p>

<p>In response to questions from The Times about the exchange, Wyle said, “Mr. Spears’ actions have always been proper, and in strict conformity with the law, and the orders of the Los Angeles Superior Court.”</p>

<p>Ingham did not respond to requests for comment.</p>

<p>Jamie Spears was particularly interested in Spears’ boyfriends, Vlasov said. The security team tailed her boyfriends in a continuing effort to look for incriminating behavior or other evidence that they might be a bad influence on Britney Spears, he said.</p>

<p>“There was an obsession with the men in Britney’s life,” Vlasov said.</p>

<p>Her boyfriends were required to sign strict nondisclosure agreements, Vlasov said. An agreement signed in 2020 by her boyfriend at the time, Sam Asghari, who is now her fiancé, technically forbade him to post on social media about Spears without Jamie Spears’ prior written approval.</p>

<p>In a confidential report by a court investigator that was obtained by The Times, the investigator wrote in 2016 that Britney Spears had told her that she could not befriend people, especially men, without her father’s approval, and that the men she wanted to date were “followed by private investigators to make sure their behaviors are acceptable to her father.”</p>

<p>Vlasov said that Black Box Security had billed more than $100,000 in 2014 for investigating and surveilling Spears’ boyfriend at the time. The boyfriend, David Lucado, told The Times that he had been aware at the time that he was being followed by private investigators, and he said he had called 911 twice because of dangerous tailing situations. He said he believed he might have been more of a target because he was encouraging Spears to understand her legal rights under the conservatorship.</p>

<p><strong>Focus on ‘Free Britney’</strong></p>

<p>Another object of intense interest among those controlling Spears’ life, Vlasov said, was the so-called Free Britney movement, a growing cohort of fans that in recent years has brought heightened attention to the conservatorship case. Black Box Security sent investigators to infiltrate the group at a rally in April 2019 and to develop dossiers on some of the more active participants.</p>

<p>The fees for surveilling Spears’ boyfriend and Free Britney participants, Vlasov said, were billed to Britney Spears’ estate.</p>

Vlasov shared digital communication that showed how Spears, while in the facility, had tried to hire a new lawyer to replace her court-appointed lawyer — and that Jamie Spears and others had monitored that effort. Vlasov recalled that “one of the biggest ‘aha,’ red-flag moments” in his tenure at Black Box had happened in August 2020, when Spears’ court-appointed lawyer, Samuel D. Ingham III, sent an email to Jamie Spears’ lawyers and Yemini, asking for written confirmation that Britney Spears’ new phone was not being monitored. “Ethically, I need to get written confirmation that no one other than my client can access her calls, voice-mail messages or texts directly or indirectly,” Ingham wrote in the email, which was reviewed by The Times. Geraldine Wyle, a lawyer for Jamie Spears, responded: “Jamie confirms that he has no access to her calls, voice-mail messages, or texts.” In response to questions from The Times about the exchange, Wyle said, “Mr. Spears’ actions have always been proper, and in strict conformity with the law, and the orders of the Los Angeles Superior Court.” Ingham did not respond to requests for comment. Jamie Spears was particularly interested in Spears’ boyfriends, Vlasov said. The security team tailed her boyfriends in a continuing effort to look for incriminating behavior or other evidence that they might be a bad influence on Britney Spears, he said. “There was an obsession with the men in Britney’s life,” Vlasov said. Her boyfriends were required to sign strict nondisclosure agreements, Vlasov said. An agreement signed in 2020 by her boyfriend at the time, Sam Asghari, who is now her fiancé, technically forbade him to post on social media about Spears without Jamie Spears’ prior written approval. In a confidential report by a court investigator that was obtained by The Times, the investigator wrote in 2016 that Britney Spears had told her that she could not befriend people, especially men, without her father’s approval, and that the men she wanted to date were “followed by private investigators to make sure their behaviors are acceptable to her father.” Vlasov said that Black Box Security had billed more than $100,000 in 2014 for investigating and surveilling Spears’ boyfriend at the time. The boyfriend, David Lucado, told The Times that he had been aware at the time that he was being followed by private investigators, and he said he had called 911 twice because of dangerous tailing situations. He said he believed he might have been more of a target because he was encouraging Spears to understand her legal rights under the conservatorship. Focus on ‘Free Britney’ Another object of intense interest among those controlling Spears’ life, Vlasov said, was the so-called Free Britney movement, a growing cohort of fans that in recent years has brought heightened attention to the conservatorship case. Black Box Security sent investigators to infiltrate the group at a rally in April 2019 and to develop dossiers on some of the more active participants. The fees for surveilling Spears’ boyfriend and Free Britney participants, Vlasov said, were billed to Britney Spears’ estate.

Britney Spears' calls and texts were monitored, new documentary says

<p>Britney Spears is going to have a prenuptial agreement with fiance Sam Asghari before she ties the knot with him. This is all the more reason for the songstress to want her father Jamie Spears to exit the controversial conservatorship arrangement they have had for more than a decade.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Britney is seeking financial protection before saying her vows with <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/news-who-is-sam-asghari-meet-britney-spears-27-year-old-fiance-412731">Sam Asghari</a>. This comes at a good time as last month, Jamie moved to shoot down the conservatorship on his own.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“While the present Termination Petition is fully supported by Ms. Spears and also consented to by Conservator of the Person Jodi Montgomery subject to proper transition and asset protection, the Termination Petition also speaks emphatically in support of the primary, present issue before the Court: the immediate and necessary suspension of Mr. Spears, by no later than September 29th,” says Spears’ primary attorney Matthew Rosengart in the LA Superior Court filing Wednesday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“As we have previously stated, Britney Spears’s life matters. Britney Spears’s well-being matters,” today’s dense nine-page filing states. “And under the circumstances, every day matters because every day Mr. Spears clings to his post is another day of anguish and harm to his daughter, which is avoidable via immediate suspension.”</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Britney Spears took a break from social media for a week as she said she wanted to have some space before <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/britney-spears-returns-to-instagram-after-six-days-of-break-414622">returning</a> and posting about how much she loves her teen sons.</p>

<p>The singer reactivated her Instagram on Monday and admitted she couldn't "stay away from the gram for too long".&nbsp;Britney had deactivated her account days after she announced her engagement to boyfriend Sam Asghari.&nbsp;</p>

Britney Spears is going to have a prenuptial agreement with fiance Sam Asghari before she ties the knot with him. This is all the more reason for the songstress to want her father Jamie Spears to exit the controversial conservatorship arrangement they have had for more than a decade.

Britney Spears is going to have a prenuptial agreement with fiance Sam Asghari before she ties the knot with him. This is all the more reason for the songstress to want her father Jamie Spears to exit the controversial conservatorship arrangement they have had for more than a decade. Britney is seeking financial protection before saying her vows with Sam Asghari. This comes at a good time as last month, Jamie moved to shoot down the conservatorship on his own. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Britney Spears (@britneyspears) × “While the present Termination Petition is fully supported by Ms. Spears and also consented to by Conservator of the Person Jodi Montgomery subject to proper transition and asset protection, the Termination Petition also speaks emphatically in support of the primary, present issue before the Court: the immediate and necessary suspension of Mr. Spears, by no later than September 29th,” says Spears’ primary attorney Matthew Rosengart in the LA Superior Court filing Wednesday. “As we have previously stated, Britney Spears’s life matters. Britney Spears’s well-being matters,” today’s dense nine-page filing states. “And under the circumstances, every day matters because every day Mr. Spears clings to his post is another day of anguish and harm to his daughter, which is avoidable via immediate suspension.” In Wednesday’s filing, Britney Spears lawyer Rosengart said he anticipated the conservatorship would end “completely and inevitably” by the end of this year. Meanwhile, Britney Spears took a break from social media for a week as she said she wanted to have some space before returning and posting about how much she loves her teen sons. The singer reactivated her Instagram on Monday and admitted she couldn't "stay away from the gram for too long". Britney had deactivated her account days after she announced her engagement to boyfriend Sam Asghari.

Britney Spears to sign a prenup with fiance, wants father to drop conservatorship before wedding

<p>In an interview with Men's Health magazine a few years ago, &nbsp;Asghari revealed that he joined his high school's football team and later participated in a football program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, but was cut before his freshman year. He eventually played for Los Angeles's Moorpark College.<br />
<br />
It was his sister who suggested he tried his hand at modelling.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"I was a very masculine guy—I played football and was in the police academy," Asghari told Men's Health. "At the time, my Sunday best was basketball shorts. My sister said, 'I will take you to this audition, just come with me.'<br />
He walked for his first runway show in Palm Springs at the age of 21 and he also featured in ads for Super Bowl and Toyota Prius. He also dabbled in acting and featured in Fifth Harmony's 'Work from Home' music video which led him to a part in Spears' music video.&nbsp;</p>

On Sunday, singer Britney Spears took to Instagram to post a video with her boyfriend Sam Asghari and announce their engagement. The 39-year-old singer showed off a giant rock on her ring finger as she smiled standing next to her beau. In the middle of a bitter and very public legal battle to end her 13-year long conservatorship, Sam has stood by Britney like a rock and has been a very vocal advocate of the #FreeBritney movement. The two have been dating for over four years now and have shared a private relationship so far. 27-year old Sam Asghari is a fitness trainer and met Spears in 2016 on the sets of her music video 'Slumber Party'. According to reports, Asghari was born in Tehran, Iran but migrated to the US when he was 12 years old and attended high school in Los Angeles. Asghari is a personal trainer and runs Asghari Fitness which offers personalised training programs and customized meal plans to its members. The man, who remains a low profile mostly, indulges fans with drool-worthy photos of himself from time to time. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sam Asghari (@samasghari) × In an interview with Men's Health magazine a few years ago, Asghari revealed that he joined his high school's football team and later participated in a football program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, but was cut before his freshman year. He eventually played for Los Angeles's Moorpark College. It was his sister who suggested he tried his hand at modelling. "I was a very masculine guy—I played football and was in the police academy," Asghari told Men's Health. "At the time, my Sunday best was basketball shorts. My sister said, 'I will take you to this audition, just come with me.' He walked for his first runway show in Palm Springs at the age of 21 and he also featured in ads for Super Bowl and Toyota Prius. He also dabbled in acting and featured in Fifth Harmony's 'Work from Home' music video which led him to a part in Spears' music video.

Britney Spears shares a throwback post as her father files petition to end conservatorship

<p>Britney Spears' father has filed a petition to end his daughter's court-ordered conservatorship, US media reported Tuesday.</p>

<p>The filing comes weeks after Jamie Spears said he was prepared to step back from his role as conservator, and after repeated requests from the pop star to remove him from what she and her supporters say is a cruel and exploitative arrangement.</p>

<p>"Recent events related to this conservatorship have called into question whether circumstances have changed to such an extent that grounds for establishment of a conservatorship may no longer exist," the filing states, according to CNN.</p>

<p>"Ms. Spears has told this Court that she wants control of her life back without the safety rails of a conservatorship. She wants to be able to make decisions regarding her own medical care, deciding when, where and how often to get therapy.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"She wants to control the money she has made from her career and spend it without supervision or oversight. She wants to be able to get married and have a baby, if she so chooses.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"In short, she wants to live her life as she chooses without the constraints of a conservator or court proceeding," the petition says.</p>

Britney Spears' father has filed a petition to end his daughter's court-ordered conservatorship, US media reported Tuesday. The filing comes weeks after Jamie Spears said he was prepared to step back from his role as conservator, and after repeated requests from the pop star to remove him from what she and her supporters say is a cruel and exploitative arrangement.

Britney Spears' father has filed a petition to end his daughter's court-ordered conservatorship, US media reported Tuesday. The filing comes weeks after Jamie Spears said he was prepared to step back from his role as conservator, and after repeated requests from the pop star to remove him from what she and her supporters say is a cruel and exploitative arrangement. "Recent events related to this conservatorship have called into question whether circumstances have changed to such an extent that grounds for establishment of a conservatorship may no longer exist," the filing states, according to CNN. "Ms. Spears has told this Court that she wants control of her life back without the safety rails of a conservatorship. She wants to be able to make decisions regarding her own medical care, deciding when, where and how often to get therapy. "She wants to control the money she has made from her career and spend it without supervision or oversight. She wants to be able to get married and have a baby, if she so chooses. "In short, she wants to live her life as she chooses without the constraints of a conservator or court proceeding," the petition says. The filing adds that Jamie Spears wants "what is best for his daughter" and that she "believes that she can handle her own life." Mathew Rosengart, Britney's lawyer, said the petition was a "vindication" for his client, NBC News reported. Britney, 39, rocketed to fame in her teens but suffered a highly public 2007 breakdown, attacking a paparazzo's car at a gas station. That led to her being placed under the unusual legal guardianship largely governed by her father. She has repeatedly lashed out at her father over the conservatorship, claiming in court testimonies and social media posts the arrangement amounted to "cruelty," and accusing him of profiting from the system.

Britney Spears' father files to end conservatorship: US media

<p>The father of Britney Spears should step down immediately and without conditions from his role as conservator of her estate, the singer`s lawyer said in court documents.<br />
<br />
Mathew Rosengart, the pop star`s lawyer, accused Jamie Spears of trying to link his departure from his 13-year-long role with payment of some $2 million in fees to his attorneys and for experts handling the media.<br />
<br />
"Britney Spears will not be extorted," Rosengart said in documents filed with Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday.<br />
<br />
"Mr. Spears blatant attempt to barter (his) suspension and removal in exchange for approximately $2 million in payments, on top of the millions already reaped from Ms. Spears’s estate by Mr. Spears and his associates, is a non-starter," Rosengart said.<br />
<br />
Jamie Spears said for the first time earlier this month that he would relinquish control of his daughter`s $60 million estate because he did not believe that a public battle would be in her best interests.<br />
<br />
But he gave no date for his departure and said he first wanted to get the latest bills for work by his attorneys approved by the court. Under conservatorship rules, Britney Spears pays for all costs incurred by her and others.<br />
<br />
"Having finally acknowledged that his time as conservator should end, Mr. Spears is obligated to step down without condition and without seeking to extract anything further from his daughter. Indeed, Mr. Spears should resign now and if he does not, this Court must suspend him on September 29th," Rosengart said in the filing.<br />
<br />
The next court hearing in the increasingly contentious case is set for Sept. 29.<br />
<br />
Jamie Spears has controlled much of his daughter`s life since 2008 when she suffered a mental health breakdown. The "Toxic" pop star, now 39, has been trying for more than a year to remove her father from the conservatorship and has refused to perform again while he remains in place.<br />
<br />
Lawyers for Jamie Spears did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the latest filing. Jamie Spears has repeatedly said that he has acted only in his daughter`s interests, to rebuild her finances and protect her from people trying to exploit her.<br />

Britney Spears' lawyer wants father out immediately as conservator

<p>Questions about the well-being of American singer-songwriter Britney Spears' dogs have started to raise just days after the singer denied striking an employee who took them to the vet.</p>

<p><br />
According to a global news website, the Ventura County Sheriff's Office recently said that the purported altercation happened on Monday before officers were called to the Spears residence after the employee claimed the 'Toxic' singer became violent during a disagreement.</p>

<p><br />
The dispute reportedly stemmed from Spears taking umbrage over how one of her pup was treated. As per reports, Spears is yet to reunite with her dogs since they were taken to the vet.</p>

<p><br />
Now, reports allege darker details about the dogs' health prior to the housekeeper's trip to get them checked out. According to sources, the report claims one of the canines suffers from digestive issues and both dogs were fed a specific type of food.</p>

<p><br />
The housekeeper allegedly grew concerned when the dogs appeared to be dehydrated from a lack of water. The dogs had also been eating scraps of food from the table, insiders claimed.</p>

<p><br />
Though there has been no comment from Spears' representatives regarding this, but her attorney had denied claims that she struck the housekeeper in a statement to Fox News earlier this week.</p>

<p><br />
"This is nothing more than sensational tabloid fodder - an alleged misdemeanour involving a 'he said she said' regarding a cell phone, with no striking and obviously no injury whatsoever. Anyone can make an accusation. This should have been closed immediately," the statement read.</p>

<p><br />
"The Sherriff's office itself has said the incident was classified as a 'very minor misdemeanour...' and said 'there were no injuries,'" her attorney has reportedly added.</p>

<p><br />
Meanwhile, sources have claimed that Spears confronted her housekeeper when they returned, and it was then that the alleged incident happened between the two.</p>

<p><br />
The sheriff's department said it is still investigating and the district attorney's office will determine whether Spears will be brought up on a misdemeanour battery charge. Spears' team is adamant the claims are fabricated, according to a news site.</p>

<p><br />
Last week, Spears' father, Jamie Spears, had agreed to step down as her estate conservator once a proper plan was put in action. The two have been locked in a court battle over the past few years as the singer wants to get her life back.</p>

Britney Spears' dogs were ill prior to her alleged altercation with staff: reports

<p>Global pop star Britney Spears is currently under investigation over misdemeanor battery charges after an employee at her home alleged that the singer struck her, claim reports.</p>

<p><br />
Capt. Eric Buschow has reportedly confirmed to a global news website that Spears has been named as a suspect in a battery investigation after she allegedly struck an employee during a dispute in her home in Thousand Oaks on the morning of August 16.</p>

<p><br />
It was also confirmed by Buschow that the employee called the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department to report the incident. Deputies conducted an investigation and will be forwarding reports to the Ventura County District Attorney to determine if the charges will be filed against Spears.</p>

<p><br />
However, Spears’ lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, called the claim 'sensational tabloid fodder', adding in his statement that 'nothing more than a manufactured ‘he said she said’ regarding a cell phone, with no striking and obviously no injury whatsoever. Anyone can make an accusation, but this should have been closed immediately'.</p>

<p><br />
"To its credit, the Sheriff’s office itself has acknowledged that the incident was classified as a ‘very minor misdemeanor’ and confirmed ‘there were no injuries.’ If this did not involve Britney Spears it never would have been reported at all," added Rosengart.</p>

<p><br />
For the unversed, the Grammy-winning pop star is currently seeking an end to her conservatorship of 13 years.&nbsp;<br />
Just last week, her father, Jamie Spears, agreed to step down from his role as her conservator after her new legal team filed a petition to have him removed and replace him with a CPA.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
However, the specifications of that transition remains unknown.</p>

<p><br />
Last Thursday, Jamie Spears’ attorney, Vivian Thoreen, filed a response to the petition for his removal, stating that while there are 'no factual grounds' for suspending or removing Jamie Spears, the singer’s father had agreed to 'work with the court and his daughter’s new attorney to prepare for an orderly transition to a new conservator'.</p>

Britney Spears under battery investigation for allegedly hitting employee

<p>It has been 5 long years since Britney Spears last performed on stage but if one goes by her boyfriend's latest statement, she might just be returning to live performance soon.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Sam Asghari, Britney boyfriend, has said he is 'hopeful' that the singer will be back on stage soon.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Sam was approached by TMZ and asked if his girlfriend would perform again amid her conservatorship battle. Sam responded with an "absolutely!" followed up by a "hopefully" which is a clear indication that there is not any solid plan in place yet.<br />
<br />
For the unversed, back in June, just a few days prior to her bombshell debut court hearing, Britney addressed the performance break to her fans in an Instagram video."Am I gonna take the stage again? Will I ever take the stage again? I have no idea. I`m having fun right now. I`m in a transition in my life, and I`m enjoying myself so, that`s it," she said in the video at the time.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, a few days after her second court hearing in July, the pop star slammed those who criticised her social media dance videos and said that she will be staying firm on her decision of never performing again until her father is handling the conservatorship of her estate."For those of you who choose to criticize my dancing videos ... look I`m not gonna be performing on any stages anytime soon with my dad handling what I wear, say, do, or think!!!!" Britney captioned an Instagram post.</p>

<p>Since then, the pop star has addressed the court and repeatedly called for the removal of her "abusive" father, revealing that she wanted to sue her entire family.<br />
<br />
However, last week, after more than a decade of legal strife, her father, Jamie P. Spears, agreed to step down as her conservator once a proper plan is in place.<br />
<br />
According to a court filing, Jamie hopes to work with the court and his daughter`s attorney, Mathew Rosengart, to resolve pending matters related to his job as he passes the torch in order to facilitate a "smooth transition."<br />
<br />
So, with Jamie`s potential removal, there appears to be a possibility the `Toxic` singer will return to the stage again.&nbsp;<br />

Britney Spears' boyfriend Sam Asghari hints about the singer's comeback on stage 

<p>Drew Barrymore has spoken in support of Britney Spears amid the singer's conservatorship battle.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
After years of keeping silent, Spears in June spoke out for the first time about her struggles in conservatorship demanding an end to it. The singer stated that under conservatorship she had very little legal control over her life which others took for granted.&nbsp;<br />
Speaking to an entertainment outlet, Barrymore, noted that she`s been trying her best to stay out of the #FreeBritney movement since she doesn`t know the singer personally.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, that has changed for her in recent weeks as it became clear that Spears needed as many voices as possible to champion her cause.<br />
<br />
Barrymore said, "I feel that there`s a human being at the core of this. But since she put herself out there more... she`s the key to her freedom. This is about her and her life and everybody deserves the freedom to make mistakes or success of their life and everything in between. That is what life is."<br />
<br />
The talk show host added, "So whether it`s about her or anyone else, I want people to have their civil liberties; to have the freedom to live their lives."<br />
<br />
Barrymore`s comments come months after she lightly touched upon the Spears drama during an appearance on Howard Stern`s `SiriusXM` show, where she likened the situation to her own wild days that led to an involuntary psychiatric ward stay when she was 13 years old.<br />
<br />
As a result of her experience, she noted at the time that she comes across stories of Hollywood "privileged" girls and often finds people forget the human element underneath it all.<br />
<br />
Barrymore noted to the outlet that she believed not posting about Spears was an exercise in giving her privacy as a human being. However, she also admits that the `Toxic` singer may not have needed silence at the time.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, regardless of Barrymore`s involvement, Spears was able to take a positive step forward in her conservatorship battle. Last week, after more than a decade of legal strife, her father, Jamie P. Spears, agreed to step down as her conservator once a proper plan is in place.<br />

Drew Barrymore shares support for Britney Spears amid conservatorship battle

<p>It’s a good day for Britney Spears and her fans as her father Jamie Spears accepted to step down from the controversial conservatorship in good time.</p>

<p>This was made public in the Los Angeles court as Britney’s lawyer said, “This is a major victory for Britney Spears.

<p>It continued, “Mr Spears continues to serve dutifully, and he should not be suspended or removed, and certainly not based on false allegations."</p>

<p>"Mr Spears is willing to step down when the time is right, but the transition needs to be orderly and include a resolution of matters pending before the court,” it said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After facing a slew of negative comments on social media, singer-songwriter Britney Spears has admitted that she is planning to cut back her time on social media.<br />
<br />
"In a system where I`ve felt completely hopeless for so long, at least I do have a platform to share !!!! As Selena Gomez says it best - The world can be a nasty place ... I know it ... you know it ... kill them with kindness!!!," Spears captioned a video of author Jake Cohen making avocado toast on Monday.<br />
<br />
She added, "Unfortunately the news has been pretty nasty saying horrible and mean lies about me so I`m gonna post a little less from now on !!!! Pssss this was the coolest thing I`ve ever seen in my life and it`s inspired me to take on a new passion in the cooking field !!!! God bless you beautiful people ... TA TA !!!!"<br />
<br />
The post came minutes after the singer updated her fans on how she`s feeling amid her conservatorship battle alongside a clip of a Free Britney flag.<br />
<br />
"Geez look at that flag !!!! I was like `My flag up over the American Flag !?!?` ... Yes ... I`m tooting my own horn .. is that bad ????? I know in my previous post I said you guys know my situation but LET ME CLARIFY ... you only know half of it !!!! And for a lot of you who say I should be cautious with what I post ... I mean if you REALLY THINK ABOUT IT ... with what I`ve been through I believe I been WAAAY TOO CAUTIOUS !!!! One day I will live on the edge !!!! One day...," the `singer wrote on Monday.<br />
<br />
Spears has been actively fighting to end her conservatorship, which began in 2008 and is largely controlled by her father, Jamie Spears.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Britney has continuously called out the 69-year-old for the control he has over her estate -- and begged for her freedom during a court hearing in June.<br />
<br />
"I just want my life back," Spears explained to the judge while publicly addressing her situation for the first time.<br />
<br />
"It`s been 13 years, and it`s enough. It`s been a long time since I`ve owned my money. And it`s my wish and my dream for all of this to end without being tested. ... I`m great at what I do. And I allow these people to control what I do, ma`am," she added at the time.<br />
<br />
Following the hearing, longtime lawyer Samuel Ingham III resigned and Britney was granted the right to choose her own attorney. Her new legal representation, former federal prosecutor Mathew Rosengart, has been vocal about removing her father from his conservator role.<br />
<br />
"The last thing I`m going to say about this matter, is as I said in court last week, and outside, my firm and I are moving aggressively and expeditiously to file a petition to remove Jamie Spears unless he resigns first," Rosengart said last month after being appointed. The attorney filed an emergency motion on Wednesday to move up a hearing that was originally scheduled for September 29.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The alternative option was for the judge to immediately suspend Jamie as conservator of her estate.Us Weekly confirmed on Monday that the motion was denied and the next hearing is still set for September. &nbsp;<br />

Is Britney Spears planning to quit social media?

<p>The father of Britney Spears on Friday rejected efforts to remove him as the controller of his daughter's estate and said there have been recent discussions over whether to place the singer again in a mental health facility for evaluation.<br />
<br />
Jamie Spears said in court documents that Jodi Montgomery, who is in charge of the singer`s personal and medical affairs, had called him in early July to express concern that Spears was not taking her medications properly.<br />
<br />
"Ms. Montgomery felt that Ms. Spears was spiraling out of control," Jamie Spears said in the court documents. "She raised potential options including a 5150 psychiatric hold," Jamie Spears said. Under California law, a 5150 order allows a person to be held for psychiatric evaluation if they are deemed to be a danger to themselves or others.<br />
<br />
In June, Spears, 39, made an emotional public address to the Los Angeles court handling her conservatorship, calling it abusive and saying she wanted her life back.<br />
<br />
Spears has been under the court-appointed conservatorship since 2008 when she had a mental health breakdown and was briefly placed under a 5150 hold. The nature of her health issues has never been disclosed.<br />
<br />
Her lawyer last month filed a formal request for Jamie Spears to step down as conservator of her estate, saying his presence in her life was harmful.</p>

<p><br />
Montgomery's lawyer on Friday said she does have concerns about the 'Toxic'&nbsp;singer's mental health but that Jamie Spears had misrepresented their conversation.<br />
<br />
"At no time did Ms. Montgomery express to Mr. Spears that Ms. Spears would currently qualify for such a (5150) hold," Montgomery`s lawyer said in a statement issued in response to the court documents. The statement said Montgomery believed that having her father as conservator was having a "serious impact" on the singer`s mental health.<br />
<br />
Jamie Spears said in his filing that "there are no grounds whatsoever" to remove him as conservator, citing his work in taking his daughter from debt and millions of dollars in lawsuits to a current value of more than $60 million.<br />
<br />
The bid to remove Jamie Spears as conservator was initially set for a court hearing in late September but lawyers on both sides say they support an earlier date.</p>

Jamie Spears: Britney's worker told me she isn't taking her medicines properly

<p>Britney Spears' father, Jamie Spears, had disapproved of her travelling to Hawaii last month, her attorney said in latest court documents.</p>

<p><br />
On Thursday, Mathew Rosengart, Britney’s attorney, argued that even though he gave in later, the objection shows as to why removing him from her conservatorship is a matter of urgent importance.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Rosengart cited the dispute in the aforementioned&nbsp;application filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, asking that a September 29 hearing on the global pop star's request to suspend her father as conservator of her estate be moved up.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
“In short, although a two-month wait for a hearing on the Petition may not seem significant in the context of 13 years, Ms. Spears should not be forced to continue feel traumatized, lose sleep, and suffer further. Every day matters,” said the attorney in these court papers.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
He went on to add that the "immediate suspension" of Jamie Spears "would be the most effective interim remedy, in the best interests of Ms. Spears."</p>

Britney Spears’ dad tried stopping her from going on a vacation, says attorney

<p>Months before Britney Spears spoke out to a LA judge asking for an end to her conservatorship, a documentary titled 'Framing Britney' highlighted the incidents that led to the US singer's predicament.</p>

<p>The Emmy-nominated New York Times documentary, which focused on the star's past and present struggles, debuted in February.<br />
<br />
The 39-year-old pop star later said on social media how she was "embarrassed" by the way she was portrayed in the film and said it made her cry for two weeks.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Then in July, Britney wrote on Instagram that she "didn't like the way the documentaries bring up humiliating moments from the past."</p>

<p>Now, the director of 'Framing Britney Spears' - Samantha Stark, has spoken to The Hollywood Reporter about the singer's reaction to the film.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"While we were making the film, we talked a lot about re-traumatising Britney and her family by showing these moments," she said.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
"Part of the reason it's called Framing Britney Spears is there are these still-photo frames that were humiliating to her. We thought it was really important to pull outside the frame because so many people had all these assumptions based on one frame, one still image that they saw." &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Stark said she understood where the singer was coming from and added, "In the end, we felt like we had to put some of them in because we wanted people to have more context. We always tried to have her talk back to (the paparazzi) if we could. She 100 per cent deserves to be mad that we're still looking at those photos, because it's ridiculous that we're still looking at them, and they shouldn't have been there in the first place. As much as I want to explain myself to her, I totally understand where she's coming from."<br />
<br />
Stark said the team was clear that they would not make fun of Spears right from the beginning. "We agreed we would never make fun of Britney Spears, and we all took that to heart."</p>

<p>She added, "It's been incredible that it feels like now the world is also taking that to heart."<br />
<br />
Post her explosive testimony in court in June, Britney Spears has been appointed a new attorney who has in no time filed a petition on her behalf to request the removal of her das as conservator of the estate.&nbsp;</p>


Months before Britney Spears spoke out to a LA judge asking for an end to her conservatorship, a documentary titled 'Framing Britney' highlighted the incidents that led to the US singer's predicament.

Months before Britney Spears spoke out to a LA judge asking for an end to her conservatorship, a documentary titled 'Framing Britney' highlighted the incidents that led to the US singer's predicament. The Emmy-nominated New York Times documentary, which focused on the star's past and present struggles, debuted in February. The 39-year-old pop star later said on social media how she was "embarrassed" by the way she was portrayed in the film and said it made her cry for two weeks. Then in July, Britney wrote on Instagram that she "didn't like the way the documentaries bring up humiliating moments from the past." Now, the director of 'Framing Britney Spears' - Samantha Stark, has spoken to The Hollywood Reporter about the singer's reaction to the film. "While we were making the film, we talked a lot about re-traumatising Britney and her family by showing these moments," she said.

'Framing Britney Spears' director breaks silence on the singer's criticism over the documentary 

<p>In new documents filed in the court on Thursday, singer Britney Spears has requested for immediate suspension of her father Jamie Spears from the role of her conservator.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Mathew Rosengart, who is Spears` newly appointed attorney, filed an ex parte application on Thursday, requesting that the upcoming September 29 hearing for her conservatorship case be moved to later this month.<br />
<br />
The pop star`s attorney, on Spears` behalf, reiterated her interest in having her father removed as conservator of her estate, but this time the singer`s wish is for it to happen as soon as possible.</p>

<p>According to the reports, the documents filed in the court states, "Conservatee Britney Jean Spears will and hereby does apply to the Court, on an ex parte basis, for an Order Advancing the September 29 Hearing Date on Conservatee`s Petition to Remove James Spears as Conservator of the Estate and Petition to Appoint Jason Rubin as Conservator of the Estate."<br />
<br />
It further provided a second option, stating "In the alternative, Conservatee moves for the immediate suspension of James P. Spears as Conservator and the appointment of Jason Rubin as Temporary Conservator pending the hearing presently set for September 29, 2021."<br />
<br />
For the application, the court filing cited Spears' testimony from the June 23 and July 14 hearings, declarations from Jodi Montgomery, currently the conservator of the person, and Lynne Spears as "good cause".<br />
<br />
Rosengart has requested the court to move the September 29 hearing "to the earliest date this Court`s calendar will permit on or after August 23, 2021."&nbsp;<br />
<br />
His request also asks that the September 29 hearing be rescheduled to no later than September 5.The documents reasoned the request by stating, "Conversely, every day that passes is another day of avoidable harm and prejudice to Ms Spears and the Estate. As described in the Verified July 26 Petitions and filings under Probate Code Section 2650, Ms Spears`s emotional health and well-being must be, and are the paramount concern."<br />
<br />
Britney`s attorney further goes on to state that the request is in the "best interests" of Spears, and as noted by Montgomery in a court filing earlier this month, he claims it is "critical" to her wellbeing.<br />
<br />
Last month, Rosengart was appointed as Spears` new counsel following bombshell testimony she gave in Los Angeles Superior Court in June. On June 23, the singer addressed Judge Brenda Penny, calling the conservatorship she`s been under for 13 years "abusive" and claimed her father has enjoyed his "control" over her life.<br />
<br />
After a public breakdown, Britney was placed under a conservatorship in 2008, and a judge then appointed Jamie as both the conservator of her person and the conservator of her estate.</p>

Britney Spears wants immediate suspension of Jamie Spears from the post of conservator

<p>In a recent Instagram post, global pop star Britney Spears—who has been making headlines over her conservatorship battle with father Jamie Spears—narrated an incident related to her being locked in a bathroom before being set free.</p>

<p><br />
And now, fans cannot help but draw comparisons with her current scenario: it’s a metaphor for her life, fans opine. And Miley Cyrus agrees.</p>

<p><br />
The post, which is a picture of a door left ajar, describes her incident in great detail. “At 2am I decided to take a bath 🛁 !!!! I got a new scented lotion from Victoria’s Secret and I wanted to wear it because it helps me sleep better !!!! &nbsp;I went to the bathroom and looked at my leftover coffee from earlier in the morning and said “gross” but didn’t throw it away and then I looked for my face wash but couldn’t find it anywhere !!!! I was caught up in my head looking for it for about 15 minutes and then realized it’s probably in the other bathroom … then I went to leave and the door was locked 🔒 …” a part of her lengthy caption read.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
“I thought ok well it’s a bathroom, I can open the damn door 🚪 … no, the lock was stuck !!!! I got locked in the fucking bathroom and my boyfriend was sleeping &nbsp;😴 … even if there are earthquakes he doesn't wake up 😂🙄😬 !!! I screamed “HEYYYYY!!!! Come open this stupid door !!!!” …. silence … the fourth time he gets up and says “What’s wrong?” ... I said “I’m in here and I can’t get out,” she added.</p>

<p>Later part of the post revealed that the pop star’s boyfriend—Sam Asghari—did come to her rescue but to no avail. “!!!! &nbsp;He tried to do his thing to open the door with a PEN ✒️ … so I got my phone and called security to tell them to open the door 🚪 … 15 minutes went by and they finally said they’d send someone up to open the door … 10 minutes later …. “HELLO ??? Is anybody there ???” … then they told me 10 more minutes !!! I cleaned the bathroom and thought about taking a shower or something but then I saw it … the door 🚪 … I just looked at it for the first time with a yearning of just wanting it to open … would my eyes trick me and make it happen faster ??? My eyes widened and the door was more clear … more vast … I could see it with clarity and brightness … please open door 🚪 !!!!”</p>

<p><br />
Finally, her security staff was finally able to free her. “We’re here!” They said … I asked how long it would take to open … and they said "oh, maybe 10 minutes" !!!! The old coffee I had left over from the morning was there … I started feeling foggy 😶🌫️ so I drank it ... I was reenergized and started speaking again!!! “Are you guys there ???” … “Yes we are!” They said, “Stand back, we’re going to open the door!” It opened … it finally opened !!!!!” concluded Britney.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
One of the fans, whose comment ranks as the ‘top comment’ on her post, wrote, “Sounds like a metaphor of what’s happening in her life,” which received over 18,000 likes.</p>

<p><br />
Another wrote, “Britney writing in a clever metaphor is everything. 13 years and the door finally opened. Fly Britney!”<br />
“I feel like this is a metaphor for her ‘door’ finally opening to speak out after being held silent for so long,” was another top comment on the section.</p>

<p>&nbsp;<br />
Interestingly, another music queen—global pop star Miley Cyrus—joined the long list of people to draw similar conclusions, writing, “They Free’d Britney for real!”&nbsp;</p>

In a recent Instagram post, global pop star Britney Spears—who has been making headlines over her conservatorship battle with father Jamie Spears—narrated an incident related to her being locked in a bathroom before being set free.

In a recent Instagram post, global pop star Britney Spears—who has been making headlines over her conservatorship battle with father Jamie Spears—narrated an incident related to her being locked in a bathroom before being set free. And now, fans cannot help but draw comparisons with her current scenario: it’s a metaphor for her life, fans opine. And Miley Cyrus agrees. The post, which is a picture of a door left ajar, describes her incident in great detail. “At 2am I decided to take a bath 🛁 !!!! I got a new scented lotion from Victoria’s Secret and I wanted to wear it because it helps me sleep better !!!! I went to the bathroom and looked at my leftover coffee from earlier in the morning and said “gross” but didn’t throw it away and then I looked for my face wash but couldn’t find it anywhere !!!! I was caught up in my head looking for it for about 15 minutes and then realized it’s probably in the other bathroom … then I went to leave and the door was locked 🔒 …” a part of her lengthy caption read. “I thought ok well it’s a bathroom, I can open the damn door 🚪 … no, the lock was stuck !!!! I got locked in the fucking bathroom and my boyfriend was sleeping 😴 … even if there are earthquakes he doesn't wake up 😂🙄😬 !!! I screamed “HEYYYYY!!!! Come open this stupid door !!!!” …. silence … the fourth time he gets up and says “What’s wrong?” ... I said “I’m in here and I can’t get out,” she added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Britney Spears (@britneyspears) × Later part of the post revealed that the pop star’s boyfriend—Sam Asghari—did come to her rescue but to no avail. “!!!! He tried to do his thing to open the door with a PEN ✒️ … so I got my phone and called security to tell them to open the door 🚪 … 15 minutes went by and they finally said they’d send someone up to open the door … 10 minutes later …. “HELLO ??? Is anybody there ???” … then they told me 10 more minutes !!! I cleaned the bathroom and thought about taking a shower or something but then I saw it … the door 🚪 … I just looked at it for the first time with a yearning of just wanting it to open … would my eyes trick me and make it happen faster ??? My eyes widened and the door was more clear … more vast … I could see it with clarity and brightness … please open door 🚪 !!!!” Finally, her security staff was finally able to free her. “We’re here!” They said … I asked how long it would take to open … and they said "oh, maybe 10 minutes" !!!! The old coffee I had left over from the morning was there … I started feeling foggy 😶🌫️ so I drank it ... I was reenergized and started speaking again!!! “Are you guys there ???” … “Yes we are!” They said, “Stand back, we’re going to open the door!” It opened … it finally opened !!!!!” concluded Britney. One of the fans, whose comment ranks as the ‘top comment’ on her post, wrote, “Sounds like a metaphor of what’s happening in her life,” which received over 18,000 likes. Another wrote, “Britney writing in a clever metaphor is everything. 13 years and the door finally opened. Fly Britney!” “I feel like this is a metaphor for her ‘door’ finally opening to speak out after being held silent for so long,” was another top comment on the section. Interestingly, another music queen—global pop star Miley Cyrus—joined the long list of people to draw similar conclusions, writing, “They Free’d Britney for real!”

Is Britney Spears' ‘bathroom’ anecdote a metaphor for her life? Miley Cyrus, fans agree

<p>American pop sensation Britney Spears on Saturday shared a cryptic post on social media referring to ending relationships with people involved- directly or indirectly- in her conservatorship.<br />
<br />
Britney posted a simple message on her Instagram handle saying "If standing up for yourself burns a bridge, I have matches" - a reference to ending relationships, something she has been doing recently. In addition to going after her dad, Jamie, she has zeroed in on her mom and sister, among many others.<br />
<br />
Through her message, she seems to be saying that she is not afraid to torch relationships that have harmed her over the years.<br />

Britney Spears says she is not afraid to burn bridges

<p>Britney Spears has launched a legal bid to remove her father from a controversial guardianship controlling her finances and replace him with an independent accountant, according to court documents filed Monday.</p>

<p>Mathew Rosengart, who was appointed as the pop star's attorney this month, had pledged to move swiftly to remove Jamie Spears after the singer delivered two emotional testimonies to a Los Angeles court labeling the conservatorship as "cruelty."</p>

<p>"If the court doesn't see this as abuse... I don't know what is," said Spears, 39, telling the court via telephone earlier this month that she wanted her father removed and to "press charges" against him.</p>

<p>The Los Angeles Superior Court website on Monday listed a new petition to "Appoint Conservator of Estate (Successor)", and California-based accountant Jason Rubin is listed as "Nominee."</p>

<p>Rosengart argued in the petition that as a recent judge's ruling found "Ms. Spears has sufficient capacity to choose her own legal counsel, she likewise has sufficient capacity to make this nomination," The New York Times reported.</p>

<p>At a brief hearing later Monday, Judge Brenda Penny said she will rule in late September on the bid to remove Jamie Spears from control of an estate estimated to be worth $60 million.</p>

<p>Jamie Spears' removal has been a longstanding demand of devoted global fans campaigning under the #FreeBritney slogan.</p>

<p>Spears was placed under a unique legal guardianship largely governed by her father after she suffered a highly public 2007 breakdown.</p>

<p>But the "Toxic" singer has become increasingly vocal and public in opposing the conservatorship since emotional court testimonies and social media posts in which she slammed the system as "cruelty" and accused her father and others of profiting from the system.</p>

<p>Spears alleged in court that she had been prevented from having a contraceptive IUD removed, despite wanting more children, and forcefully put on medication that made her feel "drunk."&nbsp;</p>

<p>She recently wrote on Instagram that she was "not gonna be performing on any stages anytime soon with my dad handling what I wear, say, do, or think."</p>

<p>Following a July 14 hearing, Rosengart told AFP his team would be "filing a petition as soon as possible to move Mr Spears," while also calling on the singer's father to step down voluntarily.</p>

<p>But Jamie Spears' lawyer told the court he would not be standing down, and disputed Britney Spears' account of the conservatorship.</p>

<p>A previous petition to remove Jamie Spears from his role last year was rejected by the judge.</p>

<p>A court hearing has been set for September 29.</p>
