Britney Spears fears her father and does not want to act as long as he manages her business interests. The lawyer of the American pop singer stated this in a court in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

Britney Spears has been in receivership of her father Jamie since 2008. With that, he has control over almost everything that belongs to her, such as her money, health, career and daily life. But the singer has wanted to get away from her father’s yoke for a while and begged the court through her lawyer Sam Ingham for more freedom. The case came up again on Tuesday.
During the hearing, Britney’s mother Lynne’s lawyer would also have insisted that father Jamie resign as supervisor. Lynne calls the relationship between her daughter and her ex-husband “toxic.” Britney herself has reportedly stated that she is afraid of her father and does not want to perform as long as she is under his supervision. She and her father are said to have “not spoken to each other for a long time.”
Jamie Spears stated in court documents last week that it is a very bad idea to no longer hold him responsible for his daughter’s financial decisions. He says he has helped her out of sky-high debts and prevented the singer from having legal problems. Because of him, her fortune would be worth about $ 50 million today.
Mental breakdown
The fuss surrounding the supervision of Britney has continued for years. The now 38-year-old singer and mother of two sons had a mental breakdown in 2008 and was then placed under receivership. Her father took it upon himself at the time and managed her interests on paper until at least next year, the court decided.
Although Britney also took a small hit at home on Tuesday. For example, the financial company Bessemer Trust becomes co-manager of its funds at her request. The judge also indicated that she is considering giving Britney control over her life again in the long term.
