She feigns her indifference, "Whatever" but is hurt, yet totally determined not to show any of that. But actually, he has already chosen, and Britney is the one falling out. Smokey-eyed, beautifully made-up Britney, wearing black tousled pants, boots, and a leather top exposing a bare midriff, is confronting her two-timing boyfriend, and he is forced to choose.
BRITNEY SPEARS STRONGER SERIES
At first, they were dismissed as conspiracy theorists, but the singer herself gave them validation in 2020 in a series of court filings that said they were correct to demand greater transparency and scrutiny of her legal situation. Her career has been on hold ever since.Ĭonvinced she was put in a mental hospital against her will, fans began coalescing and demanding that the court #FreeBritney. It ends a few weeks before her 40th birthday, with her sons in their mid-teens and her career on indefinite hold, as she is engaged to be married a second time.Ī turning point came early in 2019, when she canceled a planned concert residency in Las Vegas.
The group also denied any role in or knowledge of any surveillance of the superstar.īritney Spears was a 26-year-old new mother at the height of her career when her father established the conservatorship, at first on a temporary basis, in February 2008 after a series of public mental health struggles. In court filings last week, Britney Spears’ former business managers, Tri Star Sports and Entertainment Group, pushed back against Rosengart’s demands for documents about the firm’s involvement in the conservatorship from 2008 to 2018. James Spears has parted ways with the attorneys who helped him operate it, and he has hired Alex Weingarten, a lawyer specializing in the kind of litigation that may be coming. The post-conservatorship fight has in some ways already begun. James Spears’ attorneys said Rosengart’s allegations ranged from unsubstantiated to impossible, and that he only ever acted in his daughter’s best interest. He also said law enforcement should investigate revelations in a New York Times documentary about a listening device placed in her bedroom. Court records put her net worth at about $60 million. He said he and his team have found mismanagement of Britney Spears’ finances, suggesting she could pursue further legal action. Rosengart has further vowed to pursue an investigation of James Spears’ role in the 13 years he oversaw the conservatorship. The consensus on display Friday is unlikely to last. Key to the unraveling was a speech Spears made at a hearing in June when she passionately described the restrictions and scrutiny as “abusive” and said “I just want my life back,” a line her lawyer repeated in court Friday. The judge kept a small part of the conservatorship temporarily in place so that the singer’s money can be moved around in the coming months as financial power is transferred back to her.Ĭalifornia law says a conservatorship, called a guardianship in some states, is justified for a “person who is unable to provide properly for his or her personal needs for physical health, food, clothing, or shelter,” or for someone who is “substantially unable to manage his or her own financial resources or resist fraud or undue influence.” The conservator, as the appointee put in charge is called, may be a family member, a close friend or a court-appointed professional.Īs recently as last spring, it appeared that Spears’ conservatorship could continue for years.
The judge said California law did not require her to order further evaluation of Spears if no one requested it. She gave no orders that Spears should undergo mental evaluations first, something legal experts had assumed would be part of the conservatorship’s endgame.
