Jamie Spears’ attorney cited the “public argument” with his daughter as one of the reasons for this decision. Britney Spears’ attorney Mathew Rosengart saw this as a big win for his client. Jamie Spears should resign immediately, he said in a statement published by the industry journal “Variety”.
In July, Rosengart had filed for Jamie Spears’ replacement as guardian of the famous daughter in court. According to the announcement, he held this against “shameful and reprehensible attacks” on Britney on Thursday. They wanted to continue to check whether the father, as a guardian, had unlawfully enriched his daughter’s fortune in the past few years, said Rosengart.
Father’s lawyers: Acting in the best interests
Jamie Spears’ lawyers, however, stressed that Spears acted in the best interests of the daughter. There are no real reasons to remove Jamie Spears from his position, TMZ.com quoted from the court documents. However, he was the target of “unjustified” attacks and wanted to avoid a public fight with his daughter for guardianship.
The singer has been under her father’s tutelage since 2008 after she collapsed mentally due to personal and professional problems. At first, Jamie Spears managed his daughter’s wealth and personal affairs. In 2019 he stepped down, but remained responsible for finances. The singer’s net worth is estimated at $ 60 million. The court-appointed supervisor Jodi Montgomery takes care of the singer’s personal concerns, including medical issues.
Rosengart: “Another day of avoidable suffering”
Earlier this week, Britney Spears had failed with a desire to pick up the pace and bring forward the next hearing on the case. A judge at the Los Angeles Superior Court denied a corresponding application on Monday (local time), as several US media reported.
Rosengart had requested that the next hearing of the singer be postponed from September 29 to the end of August, as the “Los Angeles Times” quoted from court documents. “Every day that goes by is another day of preventable suffering and harm to Ms. Spears and her property,” the motion said, according to the report.
Rejection according to media not justified
“The emotional health and well-being of Ms. Spears must be – and are,” Rosengart continued. The “continued presence of Mr. Spears” as guardian runs counter to the interests, health and well-being of his client, the guardianship must be ended immediately or at least suspended. According to media reports, the court did not give a reason for the rejection of the application.
Removal of the father applied for
After a judicial hearing in July, the 39-year-old was allowed to appoint her own lawyer in the process for her guardianship. The Rosengart she has chosen has previously worked with clients such as Sean Penn, Keanu Reeves and Steven Spielberg. After the hearing, Rosengart had said in front of the press that, according to Spears’ wishes, he would now “act quickly and aggressively” to depose the father as guardian. Rosengart immediately applied for his replacement as guardian. According to the petition, Spears was to be replaced by an interim guardian – certified auditor Jason Rubin.
Emotional speeches
At two court hearings in June and July, the singer violently attacked her father in emotional speeches and raised allegations against her family, carers and lawyers. She feels that her family and managers have taken advantage of her.
She is controlled by everyone and cannot determine her own life, said the singer of hits like “Oops! … I Did It Again” and “Baby One More Time”. She was threatened and was very afraid of her father. In places, the pop star broke out in sobs.
