The mission to free Britney Spears is moving forward! On Monday, July 26, the pop star filed an official request that her father, Jamie Spears, be permanently removed from his duties as curator of his financial estate.
Instead, Spears – through his newly selected attorney Mathew Rosengart – hired Chartered Accountant Jason Rubin of Certified Strategies Inc. to take care of the details and management of his wealth, which is currently valued at $ 58 million.
“Ms. Spears respectfully submits that the court should appoint its candidate; in this it is an objectively smart preference to appoint a highly qualified professional trustee in this circumstance,” the court petition reads. “In addition, Ms. Spears respectfully submits that since the Court recognized at the hearing on July 14, 2021 that Ms. Spears has sufficient capacity to choose her own lawyer, she also has sufficient capacity to make that appointment. “
The pop icon’s next court date is currently scheduled for December 13. At the last hearing on July 14, Spears’ attorney asked his father to voluntarily step down from his post controlling his guardianship.
Britney also offered unexpected and emotional testimony over the phone during this hearing. “I would like to accuse my father of abuse of guardianship,” she said in tears. “I want to file a complaint against my father today … I want an investigation on my father.” The pop star later added that she felt those in control of her life were “trying to kill me” and said: “If it’s not abuse, I don’t know what it is.”
Following the singer’s explosive public statements during her June 23 hearing, changes have constantly taken place in her 13 years of tutorship, with the resignation of lawyers, the resignation of the private wealth management firm designated as co – keeper of her finances and Britney continuing to be increasingly outspoken about what she has been through over the past decade and a half.
