A judge on Monday rejected Cher’s request that her adult son be put into a court conservatorship controlling his money.

The Oscar and Grammy-winning singer and actor had argued in a petition that 47-year-old Elijah Blue Allman’s large payments from the trust of his late father, rocker Gregg Allman, are putting him in danger because of his struggles with mental health and substance abuse.

But Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Jessica A. Uzcategui was not convinced that a conservatorship was urgently needed and declined the petition, though she will still consider a larger, long-term conservatorship at a hearing in March.

Cher observed the hearing remotely. She appeared on a large screen in the courtroom throughout but did not take part in the arguments.

Allman was in the courtroom with his attorneys, who acknowledged his previous struggles but argued that he is in a good place now, attending meetings, getting treatment and reconciling with his previously estranged wife.

“We are thrilled that the court saw that he does not need a temporary conservatorship,” Allman’s lawyer said as he stood alongside him outside the courthouse. “He’s got a lot of support, he’s doing great.”

Cher’s attorneys argued that the support Allman was getting was from people who told him what he wanted to hear and downplayed the size of his problems. They said his current apparent sobriety and mental health were illusory. They said he suffers from bipolar disorder, has been recently homeless, and that having large amounts of money might lead to access to drugs that could endanger his life.

Blue and his attorneys have consistently argued since the petition was first filed in December that none of this is true.

Uzcategui had already signalled at a hearing on January 5 that she wasn’t inclined to establish a conservatorship, delaying the decision until Monday because documents had not been shared in time with Allman’s attorneys.

Cher’s attorneys said that she was not necessarily seeking any direct control over Allman’s money, and would be happy to have a court-appointed fiduciary manage his finances. They did not immediately reply to a request for comment on the judge’s decision.

Court conservatorships, known as guardianships in some states, have come under far greater scrutiny in recent years after a temporary conservatorship imposed on Britney Spears in 2008 would end up leaving her without control of her money and major life affairs for nearly 14 years.

Judge denies Cher temporary conservatorship she’s seeking over son, but the issue isn’t dead yet

Singer Cher's appeal for becoming the conservator of her 47-year-old son Elijah Blue Allman's estate has been rejected by a judge. The singer had appealed last week to the court to put her son in an emergency court conservatorship to control his finances. The singer had argued that her son's large payments from the trust of his late father Gregg Allman&nbsp;are putting him in grave danger as he struggles with mental health and substance abuse.&nbsp; 
 
However, Los Angeles Superior Court judge Jessica A Uzcategui was not convinced that conservatorship was urgently needed and thus declined the petition on Monday. The judge will still consider a larger, long-term conservatorship at a hearing later in March.

Allman was in the courtroom with his attorneys, who acknowledged his previous struggles but argued he is in a good place now and noted that he had reconciled with his estranged wife. The couple has appealed to the court to prevent Cher from taking up the role of a conservator.

Court denies Cher conservator rights over son Elijah Blue Allman's finances

Singer Cher's son has stated to the court that he is "fully capable" of managing his obligations despite his mother's conservatorship petition. Elijah Blue Allman filed a petition in the court on Tuesday weeks after Cher had appealed to the court to make her his conservator and was granted the same by the court.&nbsp; 
 
Elijah has stated that since his initial hearing earlier this month, he's refrained from the use of illicit substances that "have historically caused the incidents that have given rise to my mother's concern." 
 
Elijah and his estranged wife Marieangela King are now on the path toward reconciliation, and King claimed in her own declaration that Cher is "categorically unfit to serve as conservator" and to have "witnessed and experienced abusive behavior coming mostly from Elijah's mother." 
 
Elijah is the son of Cher and late musician Gregg Allman. Cher married Gregg Allman days after her divorce from Sonny Bono in 1975.&nbsp;

Earlier Cher had argued in the conservatorship petition, "Elijah is entitled to regular distributions from a trust established by his father for his benefit, but given his ongoing mental health and substance abuse issues, Petitioner is concerned that any funds distributed to Elijah will immediately be spent on drugs, leaving Elijah with no assets to provide for himself, and putting Elijah’s life at risk." 
 
Cher had also claimed that she had worked "tirelessly" to help Elijah get "into treatment." She also claimed that his wife was "not supportive" of his recovery and was actively working against keeping Elijah from "getting clean and sober."

King filed a declaration Tuesday stating that Cher used her "wealth, fame, and power to cut me out from any decision making" regarding the process of helping Elijah with his recovery process as he sought assistance with mental health and addiction treatment

She claimed, "I was either not told of his whereabouts or the facilities to which he was (in my view forcibly) admitted or told after he was admitted."

She also added that Elijah has since attended AA meetings and maintains a sober lifestyle. For her part, she's supporting her husband by reading the "12 Steps and the Alcoholics Anonymous" books.&nbsp;

"I am also learning about what the sober community calls ‘triggers.’ I believe that people in Elijah’s family are emotional triggers for him," she claimed. "I have witnessed and experienced abusive behavior coming mostly from Elijah’s mother – the petitioner herein - but also from his siblings - Chaz and Devon - and (of course) Ms. Ruiz (Cher's personal assistant.)"

Elijah also noted, "There was no emergency giving rise to a conservatorship at the last hearing and there is certainly none now. More than two weeks have passed since the last hearing, and I’ve continued to take steps to secure my property, meet my obligations, and resist the temptations that have caused me harm in the past," Elijah noted in his objection.&nbsp;

Cher's son Elijah Allman accuses singer of abusive behaviour amid conservatorship battle

American singer Cher has been assigned as the temporary conservator for her son Elijah Blue Allman's estate. The singer had filed a petition seeking conservatorship for her son as he was '"significantly incapable of handling his financial resources" due to severe mental health and substance abuse challenges," stated the court papers obtained by the media.&nbsp; 
 
Elijah Blue Allman is the son of Cher and the late musician Gregg Allman. Cher and Gregg Allman tied the knot just days after her divorce from Sonny Bono in 1975.

According to reports, Cher in the conservatorship petition argued, "Elijah is entitled to regular distributions from a trust established by his father for his benefit, but given his ongoing mental health and substance abuse issues, Petitioner is concerned that any funds distributed to Elijah will immediately be spent on drugs, leaving Elijah with no assets to provide for himself, and putting Elijah's life at risk." 
 
Two of Elijah's siblings reportedly nominated their mother as the conservator. 
 
"Petitioner has worked tirelessly to get Elijah into treatment and get him the help he needs," the documents stated.&nbsp; 
 
The 77-year-old singer also claimed that Elijah's estranged wife, Marie Angela King is not supportive of Elijah's recovery "and that Angela actively works to keep Elijah from getting clean and sober or receiving mental health treatment that he desperately needs." 
 
Elijah filed for divorce from Marie Angela in November 2021, and she countered with her filing one year later.

Cher appointed as conservator for her son Elijah Blue Allman's estate

Britney Spears' 13-year conservatorship may have ended, but her woes, it seems, are far from over. A new documentary on her life has made shocking claims about the pop star. The film TMZ Investigates: Britney Spears: The Prince of Freedom alleges the 41-year-old singer often isolates herself from other people despite not being under conservatorship. 
 
"When you have a mental illness and you isolate yourself, either you choose to or you have to, that’s not good," psychiatrist Dr Charles Sophy said during the all-encompassing documentary. "It creates a place for you to only react with yourself, you are in your head all the time." 
 
The film also shows other experts weighing their point of view on Spears' behaviour as a compilation of the singer's social media videos plated in the background.&nbsp; 
 
The documentary also claimed that Spears "binge"-sleeps for days while living in "isolation." 
 
"Sometimes she’ll sleep for days. One source called her a ‘binge’-sleeper. She’ll sleep for three days, and then she won’t sleep at all for the next few," an expert can be heard saying in the documentary. 
 
Britney's isolated lifestyle allegedly includes pool time, workouts and reading, according to the documentary. Spears has often shared her "isolation" activities on her social media. 
 
The mother-of-two reportedly hasn’t seen her sons, Sean Preston, 17, and Jayden James, 16, "in well over a year," TMZ producer Katie Hayes claimed. 
 
"By the end of last summer, tensions between them had gotten so bad, the boys weren’t even responding to her texts, and she was furious." They also did not attend Britney's wedding to Sam Asghari in 2022. &nbsp;Britney shares two boys with her ex-husband Kevin Federline. 
 
"Recently, there have been occasional texts between Britney and her kids, so maybe the ice is thawing a bit," TMZ executive producer Charles Latibeaudiere said. 
 
Last September, Spears took to her Instagram to discuss the messy relationship she has with her sons after Jayden spoke out about his rocky relationship with his famous mother. 
 
Spears could be heard saying in an Instagram video, "With my kids now, making the claims that, ‘She’s not good enough. She wants attention,' Yeah, I do want to be heard, and I'm angry… But I'm afraid to inform you guys, I'm not willing to see you until I feel valued." 
 
Britney's marriage with Sam Asghari in trouble?

The documentary also hints at Britney's troubled marriage with her husband Sam Asghari. Nearly one year after the couple tied the knot, Spears has allegedly gotten "physical with Sam" on multiple occasions, and their "marriage is on the rocks."&nbsp; 
 
"He’s a big guy, and we’re told pretty passive, so he just takes it, so he does get angry, and screaming matches are not infrequent," TMZ’s managing editor Fabian Garcia claimed in the film.&nbsp; 
 
Sam and Britney got married on June 9, 2022, in an intimate ceremony with friends and family in attendance. The couple had met while filming the music video for Britney's song Slumber Party. After dating for about four years, the model proposed to Spears in September 2021 soon after her conservatorship ended.&nbsp;

Britney Spears documentary reveals she lives in isolation, hints and marital issues

Days after releasing her new single with Sir Elton John, Britney Spears posted a brutally honest 22-minute long audio clip on her Youtube and Twitter pages detailing the horrors of conservatorship. The clip, however, was deleted later.&nbsp; 
 
The clip contains audio and no video and seems to be a memo that Spears recorded, giving details of her 13 years of being under conservatorship. 
 
While the audio disappeared from Spears' social media pages, several fans have reposted it on various fan accounts on Youtube. In the clip, the singer can be heard giving a background on the court-ordered conservatorship she was put under in 2008. Her father Jamie Spears was named as the only conservator until he was terminated in November 2021.&nbsp;

“So I woke up this morning and I realized that there’s a lot going on in my head that I haven’t really shared with anyone really,” Spears says at the beginning of the clip. The singer stated that she had held back her feelings on conservatorship and not expressed in previous interviews out of embarrassment about what other people would think. “I’m here honestly just to open myself to others and try to shed a light on if anyone out there has ever gone through hardships.”

Spears, now 40, recounted that conservatorship started when she was 25. “I was extremely young, I remember a lot of my friends texting me and calling me and we were extremely close and they wanted to see me,” Spears said. “But what had happened, honestly, still to this day I don’t know what really I did, but [due to] the punishment of my father I wasn’t able to see anyone.”

“You have to imagine none of it made sense to me. I literally spoke in a British accent to a doctor to prescribe my medication and three days later there was a swat team in my home [with] three helicopters,” says Spears detailing the confusion of the time, adding that her “playing chase with paparazzi,” something she enjoyed, was used as further evidence of erratic behaviour.

On her recollection of the night things began, Spears said, “There were over 200 paparazzi outside my house videotaping me through a window of an ambulance holding me down on a gurney.”

Spears says she believes the conservatorship was “premeditated” and her parents colluded with outside elements. “I know now it was all premeditated and a woman introduced the idea to my dad and my mom, [and] actually helped him follow through and made it all happen.”

“It was all basically set up,” Spears says. “There (were) no drugs in my system, no alcohol, nothing it was pure abuse and I haven’t even really shared even half of it.”

Spears claimed that her father wanted full “control” of her life which he achieved through the conservatorship. “He loved to control everything I did. I remember the first day he said I’m Britney Spears, and I’m calling the shots, and I’m like alrighty then.”

The singer then details at length the hardships and horrors she had to suffer under the conservatorship. Every movement of hers was watched, there were restrictions on what she could do and not do. “I was never ever able to leave or go anywhere,” she says.

“I was told I was fat every day. I had to go to the gym…. I remember feeling so demoralized and just they made me feel like nothing, Spears reveals. “And I went along with it because I was scared and fearful, I didn’t even really do anything.”

Spears added, “I had to just play this role that everything was okay all the time and I had to go along with it because I knew they could hurt me.”

“It was demoralizing,” Spears recalled. “You also have to understand, it was like 15 years of touring and doing shows. And I’m 30 years old, living under my dad’s rules. And while all of this is going on, my mom’s witnessing this, my brother, my friends — they all go along with it." 
 
The singer revealed she was forced to do tours that she didn't want to and when she tried to push back and refuse to do a certain dance step, her father would always threaten her with more legal action.&nbsp; 
 
“I remember my dad calling me on the phone and I was crying and I was like, ‘Why are you guys doing this? … and I just remember him saying, ‘You have to listen to the doctors, the doctors are going to tell you what to do, I can’t help you now.’ And I remember his last words were ‘now you don’t have to go [to the hospital], but if you don’t go we’re going to go to court and there’ll be a big trial and you’re going to lose. I have way more people on my side than you, you don’t even have a lawyer.'”

Spears says that her treatment under the conservatorship was such that she “kind of stopped believing in God at that time,” and wonders how her family and all the enablers were able to “get away with it." 
 
The singer also called out her sister and mother for not speaking up even though her fans had started the #FreeBritney movement.&nbsp; 
 
“The whole thing that made it really confusing for me is these people are on the street fighting for me, but my sister and my mother aren’t doing anything,” Spears says. “To me, it was like they secretly honestly liked me being the bad one — like I was messed up, and they kind of just liked it that way. Otherwise, why weren’t they outside my doorstep, saying, ‘Baby girl, get in the car. Let’s go.’ I think that’s the main thing that hurt me.”

Spears lays the blame for her trauma on her family. “They literally killed me. They threw me away. That’s what I felt like my family threw me away."

She singled out her mother, Lynn Spears, who she feels could have gotten her lawyer to fight for her to end the conservatorship immediately but never did.

“I’m honestly more angry at my mom because I heard when reporters would call her at the time and ask questions of what was going on she would…hide in the house and she wouldn’t speak up,” says Spears.

&nbsp;“It was always like, ‘I don’t know what to say I just don’t want to say the wrong thing, we’re praying for her.’ I feel like she could have gotten me a lawyer in literally two seconds.”

Spears ends the clip by explaining why she made it. “I’m sharing this because I want people to know I’m only human. I do feel victimized after these experiences and how can I mend this if I don’t talk about it?”

She added, “If you’re a weird introvert oddball like me who feels alone a lot of the time, and you needed to hear a story like this today, so you don’t feel alone, know that my life has been far from easy and you’re not alone."&nbsp;

The court lifted Britney's conservatorship in 2021. The singer got married to beau Sam Asghari earlier this year.&nbsp;

The clip, however, was deleted later. The clip contains audio and no video and seems to be a memo that Spears recorded, giving details of her 13 years of being under conservatorship. While the audio disappeared from Spears' social media pages, several fans have reposted it on various fan accounts on Youtube. In the clip, the singer can be heard giving a background on the court-ordered conservatorship she was put under in 2008. Her father Jamie Spears was named as the only conservator until he was terminated in November 2021. “So I woke up this morning and I realized that there’s a lot going on in my head that I haven’t really shared with anyone really,” Spears says at the beginning of the clip. The singer stated that she had held back her feelings on conservatorship and not expressed in previous interviews out of embarrassment about what other people would think. “I’m here honestly just to open myself to others and try to shed a light on if anyone out there has ever gone through hardships.” Britney Spears uploaded a 22 min audio (now deleted) to her YT channel talking about her conservatorship. 💔 And just like with her court testimony, I'm left shattered and with no words. Britney is incredibly brave and strong.💖🥺#WeLoveYouBritney #JusticeForBritney pic.twitter.com/nYrwuLuDgc — Bryan Abreu (@BryanAbreu10) August 29, 2022 × https://t.co/bX3RMFzlas updated link — stephanie marie (@stefinitely85) August 28, 2022 × Spears, now 40, recounted that conservatorship started when she was 25. “I was extremely young, I remember a lot of my friends texting me and calling me and we were extremely close and they wanted to see me,” Spears said. “But what had happened, honestly, still to this day I don’t know what really I did, but [due to] the punishment of my father I wasn’t able to see anyone.” “You have to imagine none of it made sense to me. I literally spoke in a British accent to a doctor to prescribe my medication and three days later there was a swat team in my home [with] three helicopters,” says Spears detailing the confusion of the time, adding that her “playing chase with paparazzi,” something she enjoyed, was used as further evidence of erratic behaviour. On her recollection of the night things began, Spears said, “There were over 200 paparazzi outside my house videotaping me through a window of an ambulance holding me down on a gurney.” Spears says she believes the conservatorship was “premeditated” and her parents colluded with outside elements. “I know now it was all premeditated and a woman introduced the idea to my dad and my mom, [and] actually helped him follow through and made it all happen.” “It was all basically set up,” Spears says. “There (were) no drugs in my system, no alcohol, nothing it was pure abuse and I haven’t even really shared even half of it.” Spears claimed that her father wanted full “control” of her life which he achieved through the conservatorship. “He loved to control everything I did. I remember the first day he said I’m Britney Spears, and I’m calling the shots, and I’m like alrighty then.” The singer then details at length the hardships and horrors she had to suffer under the conservatorship. Every movement of hers was watched, there were restrictions on what she could do and not do. “I was never ever able to leave or go anywhere,” she says. “I was told I was fat every day. I had to go to the gym…. I remember feeling so demoralized and just they made me feel like nothing, Spears reveals. “And I went along with it because I was scared and fearful, I didn’t even really do anything.” Spears added, “I had to just play this role that everything was okay all the time and I had to go along with it because I knew they could hurt me.” “It was demoralizing,” Spears recalled. “You also have to understand, it was like 15 years of touring and doing shows. And I’m 30 years old, living under my dad’s rules. And while all of this is going on, my mom’s witnessing this, my brother, my friends — they all go along with it." The singer revealed she was forced to do tours that she didn't want to and when she tried to push back and refuse to do a certain dance step, her father would always threaten her with more legal action. “I remember my dad calling me on the phone and I was crying and I was like, ‘Why are you guys doing this? … and I just remember him saying, ‘You have to listen to the doctors, the doctors are going to tell you what to do, I can’t help you now.’ And I remember his last words were ‘now you don’t have to go [to the hospital], but if you don’t go we’re going to go to court and there’ll be a big trial and you’re going to lose. I have way more people on my side than you, you don’t even have a lawyer.'” Spears says that her treatment under the conservatorship was such that she “kind of stopped believing in God at that time,” and wonders how her family and all the enablers were able to “get away with it." The singer also called out her sister and mother for not speaking up even though her fans had started the #FreeBritney movement. “The whole thing that made it really confusing for me is these people are on the street fighting for me, but my sister and my mother aren’t doing anything,” Spears says. “To me, it was like they secretly honestly liked me being the bad one — like I was messed up, and they kind of just liked it that way. Otherwise, why weren’t they outside my doorstep, saying, ‘Baby girl, get in the car. Let’s go.’ I think that’s the main thing that hurt me.” Spears lays the blame for her trauma on her family. “They literally killed me. They threw me away. That’s what I felt like my family threw me away." She singled out her mother, Lynn Spears, who she feels could have gotten her lawyer to fight for her to end the conservatorship immediately but never did. “I’m honestly more angry at my mom because I heard when reporters would call her at the time and ask questions of what was going on she would…hide in the house and she wouldn’t speak up,” says Spears. “It was always like, ‘I don’t know what to say I just don’t want to say the wrong thing, we’re praying for her.’ I feel like she could have gotten me a lawyer in literally two seconds.” Spears ends the clip by explaining why she made it. “I’m sharing this because I want people to know I’m only human. I do feel victimized after these experiences and how can I mend this if I don’t talk about it?” She added, “If you’re a weird introvert oddball like me who feels alone a lot of the time, and you needed to hear a story like this today, so you don’t feel alone, know that my life has been far from easy and you’re not alone." The court lifted Britney's conservatorship in 2021. The singer got married to beau Sam Asghari earlier this year.

Britney Spears slams sister Jamie Lynn: She never had to work for anything, everything was always given to her

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.

This was made public in the Los Angeles court as Britney’s lawyer said, “This is a major victory for Britney Spears. We are pleased that Mr. Spears and his lawyer have today conceded in a filing that he must be removed. We are disappointed, however, by their ongoing shameful and reprehensible attacks on Ms. Spears and others.”

The conservatorship has been on since 2008 and since then Jamie Spears has had a control over Britney Spears’ life including her financial decisions.&nbsp;

However, Jamie Spears’ lawyer stated that the ongoing tussle between him and Britney Spears should be removed from the public eye, and asked the court to deny the plea to have him immediately removed as conservator.

The paperwork from Jamie Spears’ legal team states: “Even as Mr&nbsp;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.”

“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. But there are no urgent circumstances justifying Mr. Spears’ immediate suspension,” the filing adds.

It continued, “Mr Spears continues to serve dutifully, and he should not be suspended or removed, and certainly not based on false allegations."

"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;

Jamie Spears' attorney also asked the judge to deny the petition seeking his removal, which basically means the fight is far from over.

Britney Spears' father Jamie stepping down from conservatorship? Read details inside

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. 
 
"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. 
 
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 !!!!" 
 
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. 
 
"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. 
 
Spears has been actively fighting to end her conservatorship, which began in 2008 and is largely controlled by her father, Jamie Spears.&nbsp; 
 
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. 
 
"I just want my life back," Spears explained to the judge while publicly addressing her situation for the first time. 
 
"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. 
 
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. 
 
"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; 
 
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;

Is Britney Spears planning to quit social media?

Global pop star Britney Spears has been in the news these past few weeks over alleged ‘abuse’ of over her court-imposed conservatorship. Britney’s father Jamie Spears is currently the co-conservator of her estate along with an outside financial group, the Bessemer Trust.

 
After revealing that she is not going to get back on stage till she is under her father’s watch on social media—and also her plans on suing him—Britney Spears has now taken to Instagram to express her angry and hurt over those who did not speak up during her initial struggles with the conservatorship.&nbsp;

 
“There’s nothing worse than when the people closest to you who never showed up for you post things in regard to your situation whatever it may be and speak righteously for support … there’s nothing worse than that !!!! How dare the people you love the most say anything at all … did they even put a hand out to even lift me up at the TIME !!!??? How dare you make it public that NOW you CARE … did you put your hand out when I was drowning ???? Again … NO … so if you’re reading this and you know who you are … and you actually have the nerve to say anything about my situation just to save face for yourself publicly !!! If you’re gonna post something …. Please stop with the righteous approach when you’re so far from righteous it’s not even funny …. 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼 and have a good day !!!!! PS if you’re reading this today and you can relate …. I’m sorry because I know what it’s like … and I send you my love 💋💋💋 !!!! (sic),” she wrote as caption for a quote-based post that read as: Never forget who ignored you when you needed them and who helped you before you even had to ask.

In the past, fellow musician Billie Eilish has also spoken about the ‘horrible’ treatment of Britney Spears over the years. She was quoted as saying, “It’s really, really horrible what a lot of young women have gone through — I mean, to this day. All I have to be is just grateful that I happened to have a good group of people around me that … didn’t want to just take advantage of me and do what people have done in the past.”

Global pop star Britney Spears has been in the news these past few weeks over alleged ‘abuse’ of over her court-imposed conservatorship. Britney’s father Jamie Spears is currently the co-conservator of her estate along with an outside financial group, the Bessemer Trust. After revealing that she is not going to get back on stage till she is under her father’s watch on social media—and also her plans on suing him—Britney Spears has now taken to Instagram to express her angry and hurt over those who did not speak up during her initial struggles with the conservatorship. “There’s nothing worse than when the people closest to you who never showed up for you post things in regard to your situation whatever it may be and speak righteously for support … there’s nothing worse than that !!!! How dare the people you love the most say anything at all … did they even put a hand out to even lift me up at the TIME !!!??? How dare you make it public that NOW you CARE … did you put your hand out when I was drowning ???? Again … NO … so if you’re reading this and you know who you are … and you actually have the nerve to say anything about my situation just to save face for yourself publicly !!! If you’re gonna post something …. Please stop with the righteous approach when you’re so far from righteous it’s not even funny …. 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼 and have a good day !!!!! PS if you’re reading this today and you can relate …. I’m sorry because I know what it’s like … and I send you my love 💋💋💋 !!!! (sic),” she wrote as caption for a quote-based post that read as: Never forget who ignored you when you needed them and who helped you before you even had to ask.

Britney Spears calls loved ones out for initial silence over conservatorship: ‘How dare you?’

American pop star Britney Spears, who is embroiled in a conservatorship battle with her father James Parnell Spears, now has to part ways with her manager of over two decades Larry Rudolph. However, the celebrity manager who has been with the musician right from her raging success days back in the 90s, wishes Spears ‘all the health and happiness in the world’.

 
In a now public letter to Spears’ conservators—dad Jamie Spears and Jodi Montgomery—he wrote, “It has been over 2 1/2 years since Britney and I last communicated, at which time she informed me she wanted to take an indefinite work hiatus. Earlier today, I became aware that Britney had been voicing her intention to officially retire. 
As you know, I have never been a part of the conservatorship nor its operations, so I am not privy to many of these details. I was originally hired at Britney’s request to help manage and assist her with her career. And as her manager, I believe it is in Britney’s best interest for me to resign from her team as my professional services are no longer needed.” The letter was first published by an American magazine/reality legal show. &nbsp;

 
His decision comes amid furore surrounding Spears in the recent past. For the uninitiated, Spears has been living under a court-appointed conservatorship that prevents her freedom on the grounds of mental health.&nbsp;

 
Last month, Spears appeared in front of a court hearing and declared that the conservatorship is ‘abusive’. The week after, a judge denied her request to have her father Jamie Spears removed from the conservatorship arrangement. &nbsp;Bessemer Trust, the wealth management firm that has been working with Spears as a court-appointed co-conservator since 2020, has opted out of the arrangement as ‘the conservatee claimed irreparable harm to her interests’ under her terms.&nbsp;

 
If the story around Britney retiring holds any truth, then it would be the end of an era of one of the biggest musicians in American history who has courted several controversies throughout her glorious years.&nbsp;

Britney Spears’ manager of over 21 years, Larry Rudolph, quits; hints she is retiring

A week after Britney Spears gave an emotional and explosive speech about her conservatorship, the singer's appeal to remove her father Jamie Spears as her conservator has been denied by the court.&nbsp; 
 
Despite public support for the singer, she has been denied the suspension of her dad from the conservator's post.&nbsp; 
 
"The conservator’s request to suspend James P. Spears immediately upon the appointment of Bessemer Trust Company of California as sole conservator of estate is denied without prejudice," the court documents stated, as per Fox News.&nbsp; 
 
Spears’ court-appointed lawyer, Sam Ingham, asked the court to replace Jamie Spears with the Bessemer Trust. 
 
Reports state that Ingham has only recently filed paperwork requesting that Bessemer be appointed as a co-conservator, which was approved, though the outlet reports that additional paperwork to make Bessemer's role official has yet to be filed. 
 
Ingham had initially appealed for Jamie's removal late last year, saying that Spears was "afraid of her father." The motion was denied and Ingham refiled again this year. The star has also said she wouldn't perform again until her father was no longer in control of her career.

In her long emotional speech at the court last week, Spears demanded an end to her conservatorship which began 13 years back when she had a very public meltdown.&nbsp; 
 
"I shouldn’t be in a conservatorship if I can work and provide money and work for myself and pay other people," Spears told Judge Brenda Penny. "It makes no sense." 
 
She also alleged that her father loved the control he had on her and stated that he should be jailed for the way he has treated the singer.&nbsp;

Britney Spears' appeal to remove her father as conservator shot down by judge

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

"I just want my life back," said an emotional Britney Spears to a Los Angeles judge as she appeared in a hearing for her controversial conservatorship battle.

The singer demanded an end to the 13-year long arrangement as she appeared for the first time for a hearing at the Los Angeles Superior Court. on Wednesday.&nbsp;The pop star appealed remotely.&nbsp;

Britney made her first public statements about the court-approved legal arrangement first put in place in 2008 when she suffered a mental health breakdown. The arrangement made her father Jamie Spears as her and her estate's conservator, which literally made him take control of her life for all these years.&nbsp; 
 
In an emotional statement, Spears, 39, said she believed the conservatorship was abusive. "I just want my life back," she said. "I’m not here to be anyone’s slave." 
 
"I`m traumatised. I`m not happy, I can`t sleep," she said, "I`m so angry and I cry every day," she added. 
 
Spears appealed for the conservatorship to be ended. "I truly believe this conservatorship is abusive." 
 
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny said she would need a formal petition submitted to the court asking for the conservatorship to be terminated before she could take any action. 
 
Penny praised Spears for speaking out. "I know it took a lot of courage," Penny said. "I just want to commend you again for really stepping forward and stepping out to have your thoughts heard, not only by myself but by everybody who has been involved in this case."

Before Wednesday, Britney has spoken once directly to the judge back in May 2019 but the proceedings were behind closed doors and her testimony was sealed. On Wednesday, Britney said she wanted people to hear what she had to say. After all she owed it to her fans who have in the past two years rallied for her and started the the #FreeBritney movement.&nbsp; 
 
The former teen phenomenon said she wanted to get married again and have a baby. But she said she has a contraceptive device that she wants removed, but is not allowed to go to the doctor "because they don’t want me to have children." 
 
Spears has two children with her former husband Kevin Federline. Federline has custody of the children. 
 
Outside the courthouse, several dozen fans, many of them dressed in pink and holding 'Free Britney'&nbsp;placards, rallied in support of their campaign to have the conservatorship ended. 
 
In 2020, Spears began the legal process to remove her father, Jamie Spears, from handling personal affairs ranging from her medical care to who visits her secluded villa outside Los Angeles. Jamie Spears also is a joint conservator of the singer`s finances. 
 
Jamie Spears said in a statement read out by his attorney on Wednesday that he was “sorry to see his daughter suffer and in so much pain. Mr&nbsp;Spears loves his daughter and misses her very much."

The court had ordered for conservatorship in 2008 after the singer went through series of mental breakdowns. Initially Jamie had demanded for temporary conservatorship for his daughter owing to her health but later that year the arrangement was made permanent by the court.&nbsp; 
 
Despite the conservatorship, Spears made a comeback in late 2009 and performed, released albums and went on world tours solidly until late 2018, when she canceled a string of dates. She has not performed since late 2018. 
 
Details of her mental health issues have never been disclosed but Spears said on Wednesday that doctors had put her on Lithium and that she "felt drunk."

I`m not happy, I can`t sleep," she said, "I`m so angry and I cry every day," she added. Spears appealed for the conservatorship to be ended. "I truly believe this conservatorship is abusive." Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny said she would need a formal petition submitted to the court asking for the conservatorship to be terminated before she could take any action. Penny praised Spears for speaking out. "I know it took a lot of courage," Penny said. "I just want to commend you again for really stepping forward and stepping out to have your thoughts heard, not only by myself but by everybody who has been involved in this case." Before Wednesday, Britney has spoken once directly to the judge back in May 2019 but the proceedings were behind closed doors and her testimony was sealed. On Wednesday, Britney said she wanted people to hear what she had to say. After all she owed it to her fans who have in the past two years rallied for her and started the the #FreeBritney movement. The former teen phenomenon said she wanted to get married again and have a baby. But she said she has a contraceptive device that she wants removed, but is not allowed to go to the doctor "because they don’t want me to have children." Spears has two children with her former husband Kevin Federline. Federline has custody of the children. Outside the courthouse, several dozen fans, many of them dressed in pink and holding 'Free Britney' placards, rallied in support of their campaign to have the conservatorship ended. In 2020, Spears began the legal process to remove her father, Jamie Spears, from handling personal affairs ranging from her medical care to who visits her secluded villa outside Los Angeles. Jamie Spears also is a joint conservator of the singer`s finances. Jamie Spears said in a statement read out by his attorney on Wednesday that he was “sorry to see his daughter suffer and in so much pain. Mr Spears loves his daughter and misses her very much." The court had ordered for conservatorship in 2008 after the singer went through series of mental breakdowns. Initially Jamie had demanded for temporary conservatorship for his daughter owing to her health but later that year the arrangement was made permanent by the court. Despite the conservatorship, Spears made a comeback in late 2009 and performed, released albums and went on world tours solidly until late 2018, when she canceled a string of dates. She has not performed since late 2018. Details of her mental health issues have never been disclosed but Spears said on Wednesday that doctors had put her on Lithium and that she "felt drunk."

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

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.&nbsp; 
 
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.&nbsp; 
 
- 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; 
 
- 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.&nbsp; 
 
- 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.&nbsp; 
 
- 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

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.

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.

All the while, she stayed largely silent on the subject in public.

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.

“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!”

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.

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.

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.

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.

Last year, Ingham told the judge that Spears was “afraid of her father,” who remains a steward of her nearly $60 million fortune.

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.

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.

“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.”

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.

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.

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.

Any mistakes resulted in “very harsh” consequences, Spears added, according to the report. The conservatorship “comes with a lot of fear,” she said.

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.”

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.

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.

Jamie and Britney

What the court records make clear is that the battle over the conservatorship is rooted in the family’s troubled history.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.”

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.

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.

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.

Jamie Spears reappeared for what he and his ex-wife, Lynne Spears, viewed as an urgent rescue mission.

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.

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.

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.

“Everything he does, he feels is in the best interest of his daughters and his family,” said Mitch Covington, a friend of Jamie Spears’.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Questioning her father’s role

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Behind closed doors

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.”

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.”

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.

Ingham has not filed a petition to remove Jamie Spears permanently.

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. 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. Questioning her father’s role Confidential court records reveal Spears’ concerns that her father was hardly the person to be setting, and enforcing, the rules that governed her life. 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. During this period, a former nanny and housekeeper for 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. 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. 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. 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. Behind closed doors 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.) 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. 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. 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. 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.” 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. 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.” 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.” 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. Ingham has not filed a petition to remove Jamie Spears permanently.

Britney Spears to speak directly for the first time to LA court on her conservatorship case

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; 
 
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. 
 
While Jamie has stepped down as a conservator, he still oversees Spear`s estate with Bessemer Trust at present. 
 
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. 
 
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. 
 
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. 
 
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. 
 
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. 
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`. 
 
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;

The court has agreed to Britney Spears' request that a corporate fiduciary, the Bessemer Trust, will now serve as co-conservator over her estate along with her father. James Spears has had strict control over his daughter's life since a public breakdown in 2007. The singer recently appealed to the court to remove him from the role after Britney's fans started an online movement called #FreeBritneySpears demanding an end to her conservatorship.
