Britney Spears slams dad Jamie’s efforts to ‘EXTORT’ her as he demands $2M in exchange for stepping down as conservator

BRITNEY Spears slammed her dad Jamie’s efforts to “EXTORT” her for $2 million in exchange for stepping down as conservator, The Sun can reveal. 

Explosive new court docs from the pop star’s attorney labeled the Spears patriarch as “shameful” for allegedly attempting to get more money from his daughter in addition to the “millions” he has already received.

In court documents obtained by The Sun, Britney’s attorney, Mathew S. Rosengart, wrote: “Mr. Spears to admit fault or wrongdoing. Rather, although Mr. Spears has for more than a decade evidently engaged in abusive and bullying conduct while also elevating his own personal and financial interests above those of his daughter.”

He continued: “In short, as this Court so aptly stated during the July 14, 2021 hearing in referencing the need to focus on the interests of Britney Spears, “it’s not about anybody else, it’s about her.” (July 14, 2021 Hearing Transcript at p. 53.) Mr. Spears should heed those words.

“Regardless of the past, Mr. Spears and his counsel are now on notice: the status quo is no longer tolerable, and Britney Spears will not be extorted. 

“Mr. Spears’s blatant attempt to barter suspension and removal in exchange for approximately $2 million in payments, on top of the millions already reaped from Ms. Spears’s estate by Mr. Spears and his associates, is a non-starter.”

The legal expert went on: “Against this backdrop, Mr. Spears’s and his counsel’s August 12, 2021 “First Response” is shameful. 

“Although Mr. Spears concedes that a “battle with his daughter over his continuing service” would not be in her best interests (thereby effectively acknowledging that his departure must be imminent), Mr. Spears spends the overwhelming majority of his brief engaging in inappropriate attacks and finger-pointing. In trying to defend himself, he also looks back 13 years, improperly discussing his daughter’s “mental health issues” while outrageously suggesting he should be “thanked.” 

“The thrust of his response is that although (i) he expressly recognizes that a “public battle” regarding his departure would not be in Ms. Spears’s best interests and (ii) for that reason, he even intends to support “an orderly transition,” his idea of “orderly” is to hang on until someone first brands him “father of the year” and awards him a gold star for his “service.” 

“In other words, although Mr. Spears has, at last, been forced to 3 SUPPLEMENTAL PETITION FOR SUSPENSION AND REMOVAL recognize that it is best for his daughter if he departs now, he claims the right to drag his feet because it is best for him to cling to this conservatorship until he feels sufficiently-vindicated.

“If Mr. Spears truly feels he is “target of unjustified attacks,” he can bring them to an end by doing the gracious, right, and necessary thing by resigning without attempting to extort conditions on his departure. Relatedly, there is no reason that his requested “transition” cannot occur after Mr. Spears’s resignation of suspension.”
