Britney Spearsis hitting back at her father Jamie’s request for her tocontinue paying his legal feesdespite the termination of her conservatorship.
While still indebted to the company, Jamie, 69, hired Tri Star to be Britney’s manager, a role that Rosengart said awarded the firm “multi-million dollar commissions and fees” from Britney’s earnings during the conservatorship.
“Although Mr. Spears contended that his daughter needed the Conservatorship because she was incapable of caring for herself or her affairs, Mr. Spears was intent on ensuring that she continued to generate significant earnings, a sizeable portion of which he distributed to himself and those within his inner circle,” Rosengart later added.
Lawyers for Jamie and Taylor did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Additionally, Ebadi alleged that Jamie would ask Black Box to send him “specific items from Ms. Spears’s iCloud, such as therapy notes or text message,” despite being “aware that he was expressly prohibited” from doing so without Britney’s permission.
Along with surveilling Britney, Ebadi said that Vlasov claimed that the company had obtained private phone records from Britney’s mother, Lynne, and others, including Britney’s masseuse, to determine if they were speaking to the media.
According to Ebadi, Vlasov also said that Black Box would obtain GPS “ping data” to obtain the locations of certain people, including “former romantic interests” of Britney’s, for surveillance.
The filing came just ahead of Britney’s court hearing on Wednesday, during which Jamie’s request for legal fees is expected to be discussed.
Britney’s conservatorship was terminated on Nov. 12, five months after the singer made clear during a court hearing that she wanted it to end.
Rosengart, who has represented Britney since July,first filed court documentsto move forward in asking L.A. Judge Brenda Penny to end Britney’s conservatorship in September, weeks after Jamie, who was then her estate conservator,did the same.
After Jamie — who had stepped down as Britney’s personal conservator in 2019 — was officially suspended from his role as estate conservator on Sept. 29,Britney thanked Rosengart on Instagram, writing: “Thankfully I found an amazing attorney Mathew Rosengart who has helped change my life!!!!”
Weeks later, Rosengartfiled additional court documentsaccusing Jamie of having ulterior motives after he unexpectedly reversed his stance in September on the necessity of Britney’s conservatorship.
For his part, Jamie has defended his role as the conservator of Britney’s estate and hasinsisted that he only ever had his daughter’s best interest at heart.
