Britney Spears fans, affectionately called the #BritneyArmy, will have to soldier on with the #FreeBritney campaign for a few more months as it’s been revealed the singer’s hearing Tuesday (August 18) resulted in no changes from its previous setup.
More below:
Spears – locked in a conservatorship since 2008 – has reportedly been working to remove her father, Jamie, as the controller of her business and personal affairs.
Asking a Los Angeles court to rule in favor of permanently replacing him with her care manager, Jodi Montgomery, the hearing where such would be decided happened Tuesday (August 18) and reportedly ended with officials extending the current conservatorship arrangement until February 2021.
While the GRAMMY winner has not publicly commented on the conservatorship herself, her lawyer – Samuel D. Ingham III – had submitted documents ahead of the private hearing saying she was “strongly opposed” to having her father return to control her affairs after his own bout will illness.
He also went on record stating:
“We are now at a point where the conservatorship must be changed substantially in order to reflect the major changes in her current lifestyle and her stated wishes.”
To add, TMZ reports:
“Currently, Jamie is the sole conservator over her business affairs. Here’s the rub … certain legal docs need to be filed before her issues go before a judge, and that hasn’t happened. Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … Wednesday’s court hearing was simply a scheduled status conference and nothing has changed.
Our sources say Britney’s problem in this case is that there has been a declaration she’s not able to make important life decisions because of her mental illness, so her wishes will almost certainly be tempered by the very fact there is a conservatorship.”
Britney Spears’ conservatorship has been extended to Feb. 1, 2021.
Y’all do inaccurate reporting all the damn time. The conservatorship continues until 2021 but the next hearing is in October. Read before you report and report the facts. And report that Britney is allegedly seeking a litigator with experience with contested matters. REPORT THE FACTS OR HAVE A D.A.P.
Is she that crazy? Why I didn’t know how bad her problem was.
She’s not. That’s the thing. This is allegedly just how they allegedly keep this thing in place. Leaked docs allegedly showed that this was allegedly put in place because she allegedly has dementia. No 28 year old is dealing with dementia but going on world tours and releasing 4 albums and performing in Vegas and remembering choreography and the words to songs. Docs filed last week allegedly showed that this conservatorship allegedly pays out upwards of 1 million per year allegedly. Guess who allegedly benefits from that? Several different people that are not Britney allegedly. Read Britney’s femme fatale thank you letter in her album booklet. She says to her business manager (allegedly) thank you for counting my pennies allegedly. Britney’s worth millions but can’t decide what she uses her money on allegedly. Yet her father is allegedly an alcoholic allegedly per Lynnes book through the storm and yet he’s allegedly in control. This woman deserves her freedom. Allegedly having an undisclosed mental illness shouldn’t allow you to be able to release 4 albums and go on world tours, yet you can’t vote allegedly, can’t drive allegedly, can’t have children allegedly, can’t leave your house allegedly. FREE BRITNEY SPEARS! And I put allegedly all through this comment because we know her team ALLEGEDLY likes to sue fans ALLEGEDLY!!!
That’s harsh for you to say she’s crazy. Get it together..stopping grouping people with mental illnesses as crazy
She may have been at one point. But mental capacity can change over time, as is the case here (I’m an adults mental health social worker). This is clearly about more than her mental wellbeing.
Ms. Mad House greatest hits: Baby, shave me one more time. Oops! I shaved it again! Shave me more!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I’m a joke 4U,l and so much more….
Wow, you thought this was it, huh?
*sigh* this is all so terrible. why is her mom not stepping in? Hell her little sister is grown now she could step in too but to let this asshole keep treating his own daughter like a piggy bank is ridiculous and does nothing for the improvement of her health.
Her mom has stepped in and has retained counsel who was present at today’s hearing allegedly. Her mother has allegedly been added as a person of interest regarding the cship allegedly. Her mother is doing as much as she can, everyone involved in this is super powerful…
baby I thought we had it bad here in Brazil with our biased judicial system but some of these US court decisions regarding celebs are just… Britney being exploited with legal ratification, Dr Luke walking away a free man, Teairra Mari being forced to pay 50 Cent after he ridiculed her publicly for being a virtual crimie victim… all these women exploiters should be in JAIL smh
Britney is a grown a:s:s woman. Why does she needs her mom to step in????? Maybe her yummy boy toy drugged Britney everyday and causes her goes crazy. He’s a part of it.
