Britney Spears is one step closer to freedom!

Today is a good day, as it’s just been announced that Britney Spears’ father, Jamie Spears, has finally agreed to step down as her conservator!

The move has been described by the singer’s legal team as “a major victory for Britney Spears and another step toward justice”.

And we couldn’t agree more!

Jamie Spears has been his daughter’s conservator for the past 13 years.

The 39-year-old popstar officially filed a petition to stop her father controlling her estate last month, adding that she refused to perform again while he was in charge of her life, career, and finances.

According to court documents which were filed yesterday (Thursday August 12 2021), Jamie Spears’ lawyer said he would be “in a position to step aside” when certain matters were resolved, and “when the time is right”.

The documents also reportedly state that her father “intends to work with the court and his daughter’s new attorney to prepare for an orderly transition to a new conservator”.

However, the main reason for Jamie Spears stepping down is, according to his lawyer, because he didn’t think “a public battle with his daughter would be in her best interests”, and also added that as her conservator, he had been “the unremitting target of unjustified attacks”.

He then called for his daughter’s “flawed” and “unjustified” petition to be denied, adding that there was “no urgent circumstances justifying Mr Spears’ immediate suspension”.

Still, it looks like Britney’s lawyer, Mathew Rosengart – who she was finally allowed to hire after a long battle to choose her own legal representation – is pleased with the work he has done over this short time, and isn’t letting Jamie Spears’ “cheap shots” get in the way of what has been achieved so far…

“We are pleased that Mr Spears and his lawyer have today conceded in a filing that he must be removed,” Mathew Rosengart said in a statement.

He also suggested that Jamie Spears should stop “making false accusations and taking cheap shots”, adding that he should “remain silent and step aside immediately”.

According to Mathew Rosengart, there is also an ongoing investigation regarding everyone involved in Britney’s conservatorship over the years, so the battle seems like it’s only just beginning!
