Britney Spears Loses Bid to Remove Father From Conservatorship, Refuses to Perform
As we previously reported, Britney Spears’ father, James Spears, has been her co-conservator since 2008, when the singer suffered a very big public breakdown. In 2019, he became sole conservator after attorney Andrew Wallet resigned from his co-conservatorship.

The Popstar made a bid to remove James from the conservatorship of her estate, but according to the latest update in her case, she, unfortunately, has suffered a temporary setback with a Los Angeles court declining the application. The decision was made by Los Angeles superior court judge Brenda Penny during a hearing Tuesday. However, she did not rule out future petitions for his removal or suspension.
Britney Spears’ attorney Samuel D. Ingham III told the judge: “My client has informed me that she is afraid of her father,” noting, “She will not perform again if her father is in charge of her career.”
James’ lawyer, however, claimed that while under her father’s authority, the singer has gone from being in debt to being worth $60 million, and that removing him as conservator would be harmful to his daughter.
The singer’s lawyer, Ingham said he will file such petitions.
