Britney Spears Trying to Get Father Jamie Removed From Conservatorship
Britney Spears has been under a conservatorship for over a decade because of that mental breakdown she had. You know, where she shaved her head? A lot of her fans have been speaking out about the need to end it, calling their campaign “Free Britney.”
recently addressed the movement with comments from Spears’ longtime friend and fellow Mouseketeer Lance Bass.
“I get a lot of questions about this, but I always stay silent because I’m like, ‘I don’t know.’ If I had something positive or some real information to share I probably would,” Bass said on the Aug. 13 episode of The Daily Popcast.
“Obviously she’s got some problems. I don’t know what she’s going through, I don’t know exactly what her diagnoses are but online these videos are definitely out of character for her,” the longtime friend of Spears added. “This is kind of a new thing. So something’s going on. I think that’s why a lot of the fans are like, ‘She’s being held hostage because she’s acting so strange.”
He also mentioned that Spears’ siblings wouldn’t just stand by if something bad was happening to her.
But Spears did file paperwork to have her father removed as conservator, as reported by TMZ.
Britney’s court-appointed attorney just filed new court docs spelling out Britney’s wishes — she wants Jamie Spears out as sole conservator over her estate and appears to want the woman who since last Fall has been calling the shots to be the permanent conservator over her regular person.
In the docs, the lawyer says Britney “strongly prefers” keeping Jodi Montgomery in the position — who has been assigned as the temporary conservator over Britney’s person for nearly a year now. At this point, she says she wants to put her in that role permanently.
I think there’s a far cry from being bad at being a conservator and holding your daughter hostage. Spears also wants to take time off from performing.
You know, Britney is almost 40. Sure she’s had some problems but she should be able to decide what’s in her own best interest, she’s not an idiot.
Well, I mean, she did marry Kevin Federline, someone stopping that would have been in her best interest. But she’s not even asking to be released from her conservatorship, just to have someone more competent manage it, which seems reasonable.
