Jamie Spears was suspended from the conservatorship after a judge called it a “toxic environment”
Britney Spears’ father, Jamie Spears, said through his lawyers on Thursday that the court made the wrong decision in suspending him as conservator of her estate rather than terminating the conservatorship entirely. Both Britney Spears and Jamie Spears have previously petitioned for the conservatorship to end. In a hearing on Wednesday, Jamie Spears was suspended from his role, with Judge Brenda Penny appointing CPA John Zabel as the temporary conservator. Penny said Wednesday that suspending Jamie from the role was necessary because of a “toxic environment.” “These facts make the outcome of yesterday’s hearing all the more disappointing, and frankly, a loss for Britney,” Jamie’s lawyer Vivian Thoreen wrote in a statement Thursday (via ABC News). “Respectfully, the court was wrong to suspend Mr. Spears, put a stranger in his place to manage Britney’s estate, and extend the very conservatorship that Britney begged the court to terminate earlier this summer.
