The title of Britney Spears’ song, “Toxic”, has become a reality for her. Up until now, she had been in a legal battle with her father regarding her conservatorship. Though she emerged victorious, the drama hasn’t ended. Britney’s attorney and former federal prosecutor Mathew Rosengart, according to the court documents obtained, has filed a motion compelling the pop icon’s estranged father to submit to a deposition.
Britney Spears’ Lawyer Calls Out Her Dad For “Stonewalling” The Case
In the 21-page filing, the attorney slammed Jamie Spears for “running and hiding” from his deposition, and also for “stonewalling” the ongoing legal battle with Britney.
“Despite his demonstrably false claims that he has ‘nothing to hide’ and would therefore ‘hide nothing,’ James P. Spears has been running and hiding from his deposition and accounting for his misconduct — under oath — as required by law,” Rosengart stated.
The attorney also added, “Indeed, while representing that he would ‘unconditionally cooperate’ and act with ‘complete transparency without conditions,’ Mr. Spears has engaged in stonewalling and obstruction — for over six months — dodging his deposition and repeatedly failing to respond to simple requests for basic information.”
‘Free Britney’ Movement
The motion to compel Jamie’s deposition comes after a list of his alleged misconduct, during which he acted as Britney’s conservator for more than a decade.
This includes allegations that he bugged Britney’s bedroom with the help of Black Box Security. The intention behind it was to record his famous daughter’s private conversations. The documents point out that Jamie paid for these alleged services with money from the singer’s estate. He concealed this fact from the Los Angeles Superior Court.
These allegations against Jamie are laid out with evidence. All of it has been submitted by forensic investigator, ex-FBI Agent Sherine Abadi.
In the documents, Rosengart has warned Jamie that he “can run but cannot hide” . They are willing to take the Louisiana resident’s deposition “in any city in the country.”
Furthermore, Britney and her attorney have also demanded that Jamie cooperates and waives his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. Jamie has also been accused of “harassing and bullying” Britney.
“In sum, for self-serving (and, we submit, immoral) reasons, Mr. Spears appears intent on harassing and bullying his daughter, while stonewalling and obfuscating the facts. This must stop,” he emphasized.
“After entering the case, we invited him to voluntarily resign his position as conservator. He refused and the Court suspended him. We now invite him to change the course he is on. We hope he accepts and does what is right, both legally and morally.”
Britney Spears, “misguided” ,fiduciary father
Rosengart described Jamie as a “misguided” fiduciary and father.
“Since childhood and certainly over the past decade, Britney Spears has been forced to live under her father’s thumb, even as she gave him an identity and supported him financially; yet he has never been required to answer for his conduct, including his gross, self-interested misuse of his fiduciary position.
For Mr. Spears to contend that he will answer for his actions if (and only if) his daughter’s personal, private life is further exposed demonstrates just how misguided he is as a fiduciary and as a father,” he states. “Enough is enough. Britney Spears will tolerate it no longer, and with respect, neither should this Court.”
Rosengart concluded the motion by imploring Jamie and his counsel to “do what is right, voluntarily. Be decent. Please, stop harassing and bullying your daughter. Please, leave your daughter alone.”
Rosengart has also expressed concerns regarding her former manager. He said that action must be taken in deposing Britney’s former business manager, Lou Taylor. Also Taylor’s Tri Star Sports & Entertainment associate Robin Greenhill, who was once Britney’s personal assistant.
Britney herself has accused Taylor of playing a central role in the creation of the conservatorship alongside her mom Lynne Spears, though Taylor has denied any involvement in its inception.
“You know exactly what you did … my dad is not smart enough to ever think of a conservatorship,” Britney wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post.
Britney’s conservatorship ended in November 2021.
