(Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) How is this case still happening? After years of effort, the courts freed Britney Spears from her conservatorship late last year. I know it sounds a little hard to believe in June of 2022, but a court actually decided that an adult woman could have full control over her own life less than a year ago. But her dad is still fighting?
Past filings alleged that the Jamie Spears legal team from Willkie Farr was “harassing and bullying” Britney with document requests. This seems to be another chapter in that campaign to break Britney’s resolve through attrition. [UPDATE: Here’s the latest filing from Britney. It notes that the allegations against Jamie Spears are based on third party evidence rendering any Britney deposition irrelevant at this juncture, which should prove fatal to the request… but it also includes this fun fact which is WILD…
“Media Matters” is apparently the “further work” of the conservatorship world.’ With the conservatorship over, all that remains are Britney’s claims for an accounting of unjustified payments she claims her dad made despite gross conflicts of interest. That should’ve been a pretty straightforward affair and frankly one that Jamie Spears would be wise to settle and walk away. Instead he’s been avoiding a deposition and then raised the stakes by trying to make Britney sit for a deposition. It’s not clear how her testimony is relevant to the question of “did Papa Spears have a conflict of interest?” and Greenberg Traurig’s Rosengart agrees, branding the request “morally abominable” and “revenge.” The push-pull of the legal relationship is always balancing the obligation to serve the client’s wishes and the obligation to serve the client… in spite of those wishes. Some lawyer really needs to tell Jamie Spears that his best hope of improving his reputation right now is to fade into the background. Because scorched earth discovery games when you’ve already lost months ago may satisfy the client ego and rack up fees but they aren’t going to do much for his public persona.

Britney Spears will not have to sit for a deposition in her conservatorship case, a Los Angeles judge ruled Wednesday. Spears’ attorney, Mathew Rosengart, said in court that the pop star “feels traumatized by what she went through” and that answering questions under oath from her estranged father Jamie Spears’ lawyer, Alex Weingarten, would “retraumatize” her. Weingarten said he plans to appeal the decision, telling Judge Brenda Penny that Jamie “is proud and will remain proud of what he did for, not to, his daughter” while serving as her conservator from the legal arrangement’s inception in February 2008 until his suspension in September 2021. Rosengart and Weingarten had been trying for months to depose each other’s clients after Britney, 40, described her conservatorship as “abusive” during an impassioned public court speech in June 2021. Rosengart, a former federal prosecutor, has claimed that Jamie, 70, enriched himself with at least $6 million from Britney’s estate. Jamie has also been accused of spying on Britney by secretly monitoring her cellphone and placing an audio recording device in her bedroom, the latter of which he denied doing. Weingarten countered that Britney was the one who should have been deposed given she has made damning allegations about her dad in court and on social media. But, as Rosengart pointed out, Britney had little to no information to share after being stripped of her personal, medical and financial rights during her nearly 14-year conservatorship, which was established after she endured a series of struggles in the public eye. “She wants to move on with her life, and yet, that man, her father, her flesh and blood, does not want that,” Rosengart told reporters outside the courthouse Wednesday. “The notion of her father — or any father — wanting to take a harassing deposition of their daughter … is morally abominable.” Britney, whose conservatorship was terminated in November 2021, scored another legal win earlier this month when Penny ordered Jamie to sit for a deposition by Aug. 12 and turn over all documents in his possession. (Weingarten said Wednesday that a date has been chosen but did not share it in court.) During Wednesday’s hearing, the judge issued a tentative ruling that Britney’s former business manager Lou Taylor and her Tri Star Sports & Entertainment Group associate Robin Greenhill will also be deposed and have to hand over paperwork related to electronic surveillance. Tri Star’s attorney Scott Edelman said in a statement to Page Six after the hearing that “today was a great day” for the firm, adding, “We look forward to being deposed, advancing this process and ensuring that the full truth is finally shared.” Rosengart previously claimed that Tri Star reaped at least $18 million from Britney during the “Toxic” singer’s conservatorship. Meanwhile, a former employee on Britney’s security team, Alex Vlasov, has alleged that Greenhill helped Jamie surveil the Grammy winner, which another one of Tri Star’s lawyers, Charles Harder, said was “false.” Since being freed from her conservatorship, Britney has married her longtime love, Sam Asghari, and recorded her first new song in six years, a “Tiny Dancer” duet with Elton John, which Page Six exclusively reported is set to be released in August. What is the latest on Britney conservatorship?Spears' conservatorship was terminated by a judge in November 2021.
Does Britney Spears still have the conservatorship?Now that the conservatorship has been abolished, Lynne still wants Britney to pay her legal fees: Variety reports that Rosengart filed a motion to deny Lynne's request for $663,202.84 on April 6, writing that while Lynne might not have gone as far as Jamie, the whole family still lived off Britney for years.
