According to Britney’s lawyer, the pop star is refusing to perform in any shows until her father steps down from the conservatorship because she is scared of him.
American singer and icon Britney Spears,38, will remain under the conservatorship of her father Jamie Spears after a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge ruled in his favor on Tuesday, against Britney’s lawyer and mother Lynne’s wishes. Britney was absent from the negotiations. Spears was originally placed in “temporary” conservatorship of her father and Attorney Andrew Wallet in the late 2000s after she encountered a string of tough circumstances and experienced “an alleged breakdown” that put her in a California psychiatric ward at least twice in 2008. According to the Los Angeles Times, this request granted Britney’s father the “power to negotiate business opportunities, sell her property and restrict her visitors” as well as “file for restraining orders against those he believes threaten his daughter’s stability” for at least the next ten years. While the judge, after reviewing the 1990s-2000s pop singer’s expenses report, ordered that Jamie would still be in charge of Britney’s finances, he granted Britney’s wishes and added a co-conservator as a financial trustee to help manage the wealth she accumulated over the last two decades.
