Britney Spears’ father Jamie Spears spent $2 million of her funds to remain her conservator, new court docs allege
Jamie became Britney’s conservator in 2008 and briefly stepped down in 2019 while he dealt with health issues. During that time, Jodi Montgomery stepped in on a temporary basis.
According to documents filed in a Los Angeles court on July 9, Montgomery claimed that Britney “has wished her father out of her life for years” and that he had spent “more than $2 million of his daughter’s money” to remain the conservator of her estate.
On June 23, Britney Spears expressed through testimony that she wanted to end the conservatorship overall. However, according to texts presented in the court documents, Britney asked “Montgomery to remain the conservator of her person so she could help Britney obtain a new lawyer.” Britney Spears’ court-appointed attorney, Sam Ingham III, resigned earlier this month along with Bessemer Trust.
The new documents also allege that Montgomery was the subject of threatening messages over her role as Britney’s conservator and that “she would need security in place as a safety precaution.”
