Britney Spears’s conservators are at odds over the treatment of the pop star — and Judge Brenda Penny ensured Jamie Spears isn’t going anywhere at the moment.
In documents obtained by Variety, the judge denied Britney’s request to remove her father as sole conservator of her estate without prejudice. While the singer’s court-appointed attorney, Samuel Ingham III, filed papers in November 2020, the ruling is noteworthy given Judge Penny signed the document on Wednesday — one week after Britney’s shocking plea to the court, calling the conservatorship “abusive.”
The filing states that the court found Britney to be “substantially unable to manage his or her financial resources or to resist fraud or undue influence.” The singer’s attorney claimed in documents his client was “afraid of her father” and would refuse to perform again if remained in control of her estate.
Jamie made his stance clear on co-conservator, Jodi Montgomery, in his own documents filed on Tuesday.
