The singer has painted her father as a driving force behind her misery, informing the court in July: “I want to press charges against my father today.” In the media, Jamie has been cast as an aggressive stage parent constantly leveraging his daughter’s talent for personal gain - “I am Britney Spears!” he reportedly bellowed during an early conservatorship meeting - a charge he denies. Though he relinquished control of Britney’s personal life to Jodi Montgomery - a licensed, private fiduciary appointed as conservator of Britney’s person - two years ago, he remained in charge of her finances until he was suspended on September 29. Jamie Spears assumed the role of financial and personal conservator when he enacted the guardianship in 2008. Here’s a guide to the various players and what happens next: “All I want is to own my money, for this to end, and my boyfriend to drive me in his fucking car.”Īt a hearing on November 12, Judge Penny officially ended Britney’s conservatorship, saying it was “no longer required, effective immediately.” The decision to restore her freedom and independence was met with joy from #FreeBritney activists and Britney herself, who called the termination “the best day ever.” Yet legal proceedings continue - as does the fallout with Jamie Spears and all those involved. “I just want my life back,” she told California Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny. The contradiction is not lost on Britney, who argued that it “makes no sense” for her to “make a living for so many people” who in turn decide how she gets to live. In her own words, she’s “done” with the “abusive” arrangement that has granted her father and various attorneys full control over her finances, her career, and her person since 2008 - even as her albums, world tours, TV gigs, and performances keep these legal guardians on her payroll. On June 23, Britney Spears told a Los Angeles probate court how she really feels about the conservatorship that’s ruled her life for the past 13 years.
