Britney Spears' request to have father removed from conservatorship REJECTED by judge
Britney Spears, 39, gave an emotional and harrowing testimony last week about what it’s been like living under her 13-year conservatorship, in which her dad Jamie Spears, has full control over her life and finances. But despite her heartfelt plea to the judge to have him removed and to end the legally binding guardianship, the singer and her fans alike have been left severely disappointed, after the judge ruled against her, a court filing revealed.
Judge Brenda Penny denied her request to remove her father’s control after the hearing, which took place at a Los Angeles Superior Court last Wednesday [June 23].
While further details have yet to be shared about why she made that decision, she signed into effect a new ruling, which continues to give the singer’s father Jamie Spears’ control over her life.
Britney’s lawyer Samuel Ingham asked the court to oust Jamie from his position managing the multimillion dollar estate in November last year, with the singer wanting private wealth management firm the Bessemer Trust appointed as “sole conservator”.
However, documents filed show the judge refused the request while rubber-stamping Bessemer Trust’s role as co-conservator of the estate.
