After accumulating a lot of ink, the news comes somewhat unexpectedly: Jamie Spears has finally agreed to step down from the singer’s mentor role.
Britney has fought to end her education, which since 2008 has put control of financial assets and aspects of her personal life into her father’s hands.
“Mr. Spears intends to work with the court and his daughter’s new lawyer to prepare for an orderly transition to a new guardian,” added lawyers, quoted by the British newspaper The Guardian.
According to the same sources, the resignation will take place “when the time is right” and because Jamie Spears “does not want to fight a public battle with his daughter.”
Matthew S. Rosengart, Britney Spears’ spokesman since July, in a statement quoted by various international media outlets, says he is “satisfied” and calls for an “immediate” process.
“We look forward to continuing our investigation into the behavior of Mr. Spears and others over the past 13 years as we withdraw millions of dollars from his daughter’s assets,” he added.
Rosengart, a former federal attorney who has represented Hollywood celebrities such as Sean Penn, Steven Spielberg, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Keanu Reeves, has been the actress’s chosen defense after being represented by a court-appointed attorney since her father’s custody.
In February, Britney Spears’ life returned to the public sphere with the release of the documentary “Britney Spears Framing”, which tells the story of the American singer, including her moments of greatest popularity and events that led to her future life. controlled by the father.
A few months later, the singer filed a lawsuit to stop tutoring, which had been going on since 2008. The request was made during a hearing in Los Angeles, California, 13 years after Spears’ deemed “offensive” tutoring began.
“This mentoring is doing me more harm than good. I deserve to live, ”said the American singer during a long and emotional phone call.
Britney Spears made her official debut in 1999 when she edited the album “… Baby One More Time”, which has sold over one hundred million copies worldwide.
After the documentary “Framing Britney Spears”, movements went viral asking to “free” the artist from her father’s control (“#FreeBritney”) and force those who criticized and condemned her at the time to come and apologize.
