Britney Spears settles legal dispute with father
Britney Spears and her dad Jamie Spears settled their dispute over Jamie’s legal fees and management of his daughter’s finances, as per People report. On April 25, the Los Angeles Superior Court reached a resolution; however, the terms of the settlement were not made public. The lawyers for both sides, however, told People that the two agreed to a settlement for an undisclosed amount.
In a statement, Britney’s attorney, Mathew S Rosengart stated, “Although the conservatorship was terminated in November, 2021, her wish for freedom is now truly complete. As she desired, her freedom now includes that she will no longer need to attend or be involved with court or entangled with legal proceedings in this matter… Britney Spears won when the court suspended her father, and Britney Spears won when her fundamental rights and civil liberties were restored.”
The two parties “reached a settlement agreement resolving all outstanding disputes,” according to Jamie’s lawyer, Alex Weingarten.
He said to People, “I cannot comment on any specifics as the settlement is confidential. Jamie is thrilled that this is all behind him. He loves his daughter very much and everything he has ever done has been to protect and support her… It is unfortunate that some irresponsible people in Britney’s life chose to drag this on for as long as it has.”
The agreement spares Britney and her father from a potentially gruelling trial over the financial misconduct that was allegedly committed under her conservatorship, which Jamie Spears had been supervising until September 2019. As his daughter’s conservator, Jamie had been requesting more than $2 million to pay the expenses of many other law firms he had hired, in addition to paying his current attorney’s fees.
