The state of Britney Spears‘ personal life continues to have professional ramifications.
As widely reported, the singer is at the center of a scandal surrounding her conservatorship; a measure put in place after her 2007 breakdown.
After news surfaced of the singer’s admission into mental health facility in Janaury, a sect of fans hit the press claiming controlling impropriety by the star’s handlers – all of which has been adamantly denied.
Complicating the matter the more was Spears’ recent court date, which she attended with her mother Lynn. During the closed hearing, she reportedly confirmed that she has several issues with her current predicament – including, but not limited to, medication and visitation rights to see her children (who primarily reside with their father Kevin Federline).
Now, her longtime manager Larry Rudolph has weighed in with an update.
His words below…
Speaking to TMZ, Rudolph (who has no involvement with the conservatorship) said:
“As the person who guides her career — based on the information I and all of the professionals who work with her are being told on a need-to-know basis — from what I have gathered it’s clear to me she should not be going back to do this Vegas residency, not in the near future and possibly never again.”
Countering claims that she’s being forced to work, he said the singer is very driven and in control of what she wants to do. He explained:
“Last summer, when she wanted to tour, she called me every day. She was excited. She hasn’t called me in months. Crickets. She clearly doesn’t want to perform now.”
As for what’s next, he concluded:
“I don’t want her to work again ’till she’s ready, physically, mentally and passionately. If that time never comes again it will never come again. I have no desire or ability to make her work again. I am only here for her when she wants to work. And, if she ever does want to work again, I’m here to tell her if it’s a good idea or a bad idea.”
Sigh.

Clearly a crisis is occurring she might be close to another breakdown of mental health its best she retires.
Translation: they’ve basically drained all the money they can out of her, so they’re tossing her to the curb now that their pockets are fat enough. They’ll “care” about her only if she ever becomes a bankable cash cow again. SMH.
? they knew what they were doing
Couldn’t have said it better. I’m not even a Britney fan but it’s been clear to me ever since that interview pre-breakdown when she was crying about not wanting to do this anymore that she should be allowed to retire. She has said she thought she would only perform/record through her 20s, not her 30s and into 40s. Leave this poor woman alone. I would actually like to see her go back into acting. She like Beyonce thrive in comedic roles. She was hilarious on Will & Grace! (And Beyonce has never been better than in AP Goldmember).
Well Glory proves she’s still capable as she was involved with the writing and steering the wheel with that project….however when it comes to the stage even her fans saw that girl is happiest just recording music and being with her kids! Her whole team is frauds and was just trying to milk her with that whole Vegas residency then using old vids of her on a photo shoot when that #freebritney came out ?
That’s a person in your corner. Doing what is best for the person.
wow. i cant believe they took control of her life, continued to used her up, and just tossed her in ALL OF OUR FACES. the music industry is shady af. she’s sepererated from her family. the dad was using her too. Kevin has the kids aka a paycheck that he wont let go of. all this because she had a “break down” (cut off all her hair). even with the whole umbrella situation thats not enough to take someones rights way for life. ppl have breakdowns all the time, we are all human. Britney is no threat to anything but the music industry. i feel like they got worried because they had no control over her (at the time). she was so stressed she didnt give af about the industry or her image so now they are making her an example of her. this just shows that Britney is a real 1, and she’s stronger than what ppl think.
remember she also tried to kill herself in a bathtub when Kevin was awarded custody of the kids back then. She clearly has serious mental health issues. I don’t know why everyone is assuming her team is so awful, when it appears they saved her from herself.
I don’t know if we will ever know the whole truth about this situation. It’s very sad what is going on with Britney. Smdh
Never been the biggest fan of Britney but this is sad to see her go out like this everyone’s motive has always been themselves and now that she has provided a way for everyone and can no longer be a bankable force at the top of her game they are tossing her to the side before another breakdown occurs.
People need to let Britney go. I am sensitive to the delicacy of her mental condition, but the girl hasn’t been right in years. It’s beyond me as to why anyone would pay to see her “perform” in 2019 anyway. Britney looks like a stiff, drunken, middle-aged auntie at karaoke while performing. She should have retired years ago.
I’m going to give Britney’s father some latitude here. Adult conservatorships can be very difficult to manage, and there are often conflicts between the ward, conservator, guardian (if separate from the conservator), and other parties in the ward’s life.
But remember this: conservatorships are overseen by the courts. In my state at least, conservators are required to be bonded and account annually for the management of the ward’s estate, so I think it probably not true that Britney’s finances have been mismanaged.
f*** all of holly-weird✋? it’s took him and her team like a decade to acknowledge what they have done to her. they killed Britney spears before blackout dropped and left a lifeless zombie ? that stopped dancing/performing like we knew she could and lost all confidence and could hardly speak in interviews .
Poor thing. They should let her retire and live in peace
It does seem that in the best interest of Britney’s health, there should be a significant sabbatical (or even retirement) from active performing. She needs to be healthy for her children and she’s made enough money (if it hasn’t been pilfered) to raise them comfortably. I think we’ve unfortunately seen too many examples of how this “road” could end and those around her will do better.
