As we all know, people have been concerned about pop sensation Britney Spears for a long time, due to her 12 year long conservatorship that was supposed to end some time in 2009, but that just didn’t end up happening for whatever reason.
Right now, she is under a conservatorship which started out for the sake of her mental health which was sparked by her meltdowns in 2007 and 2008. However, since then, Britney has had marked improvement in her mental health, as far as we know there’s been no question of substance abuse and she has gone on tour, released multiple albums, and even gone on TV shows (remember her brief stint on Will & Grace? Just me? Okay.) and successfully made money.
But apparently that.. isn’t enough?
Her Dad, Jamie Spears, had some health problems last year and was taken off the main conservatorship, someone else was put in charge, someone named Jodi Montgomery. The conservatorship was supposed to end in 2009, but kept getting extended. This past year, Jamie even extended it to include several other states, including Louisiana, Hawaii, and Florida!
I guess when it comes to Britney’s conservatorship it’s a case of her being able to run but she can’t hide from it. Yike!!! That’s rather frightening if you think about it. She can’t go anywhere by herself or spend any of her own money, in 2018 it was said that she spent $1.1 million dollars in legal fees, but she can’t even get a drink at starbucks without getting permission. How is that fair?
According to sources, Andrew Wallet, a lawyer on Britney’s legal team was put forth by Jamie Spears to take over the head of the conservatorship due to his own failing health. Although, there has been some good news on the FreeBritney front because it looks like Britney’s Father has withdrawn that petition now and it looks like Britney’s choice of main conservator for her finances, and that is the Bessemer Trust company.
A trust company is different from an individual. Andrew Wallet has previously left the conservatorship, and there have been rumors previously that he was mismanaging her funds, but sadly, no tea on that front yet, that may have to wait on a criminal investigation.
Britney has also filed a petition in order to keep the court records public and not seal them off as her Father, Jamie Spears, originally wanted. Of course sealing the court records would allow her conservators to hide more things, keeping the records public mean that they have to be completely transparent with their intentions.
This is a smart move on Britney’s part, a very smart move. We’ll keep you updated on how this situation goes. Stay tuned!!!
