The father of American singer Britney Spears has agreed to step down as caretaker of the singer after 13 years.
According to British media, Britney Spears' career has been in the hands of legal guardians since 2008 due to public concerns about her mental health. Her father, Jamie Spears, was given control of her daughter's property and other aspects of her life under a court order, but the singer later tried to remove her father from the post, accusing him of "conservatory abuse." Demanded to be charged.
Jamie Spears has repeatedly denied the allegations, saying she did nothing wrong and expressed concern for her daughter's well-being.
A movement called the Free Britney Campaign wants the 39-year-old singer to regain control over her affairs. The long-running legal battle resurfaced in 2021 with the release of the documentary Framing Britney Spears.
Britney later told a judge she was given drugs, forced to work against her will and prevented from having children. Spears' conservatism consists of two parts, one for his property and finances, and the other for him as an individual.
Her father resigned as her daughter's personal conservator in 2019 due to health problems, but the singer filed a petition in July to remove her father from control of her property. She later said that if her status remained the same, she would not perform again.
Jamie Spears' lawyer said in a court document on Thursday that there was no real basis for his retreat, but added that he had been a constant target of unprovoked attacks.
"This is a great victory for Britney Spears and another step towards justice," said Matthew Rosengart, the pop star's lawyer.
The decision of Britney Spears' father proved to be right for Britney. However, we are disappointed with their shameful and reprehensible attacks on Britney Spears and others.
Rosengart added that investigations into the actions of those involved in the management of his property during the conservatory would continue.
