Hold your horses, folks. While Britney Spears’ father did say that he is willing to step down as a conservator that is currently overseeing every aspect of his daughter’s life, he’s not doing it just yet. Jamie Spears said in a court filing this past week that while there are “no actual grounds” for his suspension or removal, he will leave the conservatorship in due time. Just not right now. Here’s what you need to know.
After months of public pressure from supporters of Britney Spears, Jamie Spears hinted in a legal response Thursday that he intends to step down as conservator of the singer’s estate.
Britney Spears’ Father Jamie Spears Is Not Stepping Down As A Conservator Just Yet
“There are, in fact, no actual grounds for suspending or removing Mr. Spears as the Conservator of the Estate” and “it is highly debatable whether a change in conservator at this time would be in Ms. Spears’ best interests,” the document, filed in response to a petition for Spears to be removed as conservator, states.
“Nevertheless, even as Mr. Spears is the unremitting target of unjustified attacks, he does not believe that a public battle with his daughter over his continuing service as her conservator would be in her best interests,” the filing continues. “So even though he must contest this unjustified Petition for his removal, Mr. Spears intends to work with the Court and his daughter’s new attorney to prepare for an orderly transition to a new conservator.”
Her father’s decision to step down is being praised as a “major victory” by the singer’s new attorney, Mathew Rosengart, who says he intends to investigate Spears’ conduct, Rosengart cites the “public battle with his daughter” as his reasoning for stepping down, but states that there are “no actual grounds for suspending or removing” him.
