He wants everyone to know that he’s no peeping tom. Britney Spears‘ father says that allegations that he spied on the singer using secret recording devices hidden in her bedroom during her conservatorship are false. Here’s what you need to know.
In a written declaration, Jamie Spears has continued to deny that he “conducted or authorized” illicit recording of his daughter. Spears was previously accused of engaging in “unconscionable violations” of the pop star’s privacy and civil liberties, and had encouraged others to do the same, by former FBI agent Sherine Ebadi. A device was allegedly duct-taped behind furniture in Britney’s room so it would not be seen and was fitted with an extra battery pack to allow recording for longer periods.
Jamie Spears Denies That He Spied On His Daughter Britney Spears
Spears denied the allegations, writing: “I am informed of the allegation by Britney’s counsel that a listening device or ‘bug’ was placed (in) her bedroom as surveillance during the Conservatorship. This allegation is false. I never conducted or authorized any surveillance of Britney’s bedroom at any time, including during the conservatorship.”
Back in May, it was reported that Britney Spears’ lawyers have repeatedly asked Jamie Spears to give a deposition to answer “fundamental” questions, including how much money he personally gained during the years he was in charge of her finances. Legal documents obtained by the PA news agency accused Jamie Spears of running “a corrupted and conflicted conservatorship that stripped his daughter of certain fundamental liberties” and earned him “at least” $6.3 million.
“Mr Spears can run, but he cannot forever hide from his legal and fiduciary obligations,” the documents, filed by lawyer Mathew Rosengart, stated. “His stonewalling and obfuscation must not stop the truth from coming to light; it has only required that the parties expend unnecessary resources in a protracted battle to obtain his compliance.”
He added, “But, after using his daughter’s money for more than 13 years to fund his legal fees and expenses, for the first time, Mr Spears will now have to pay his own legal fees.”
