Britney Spears’s dad willing to step down as conservator
The Grammy winning-singer's father Jamie Spears has shared that he is willing to step down as the conservator of her daughter's estate.
Britney Spears’s conservatorship judge Brenda Penny’s security is currently on law enforcement’s radar as she is getting death threats after denying Britney’s request to advance conservatorship hearing on her father, last week.
According to TMZ, scores of death threats against Judge Penny were posted online, with many people calling for her to lose her life and “die,” while many asking her to resign from her job.
Reportedly, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is monitoring the online activity, as they have seen some of the posts and “indeed found them to be concerning”.
Meanwhile, the Grammy winning-singer’s father Jamie Spears has shared that he is willing to step down as the conservator of her daughter’s estate.
According to the latest court filing (August 12), obtained by E! News, Jamie has agreed to remove himself as conservator of her estate “when the time is right”, after holding the position since her conservatorship began in 2008 after the singer had several mental breakdowns publicly.
In the documents, Jamie’s legal team has stated that there are “no actual grounds for suspending or removing Mr. Spears”, but he is willing to step aside in the future to avoid a “battle” with his daughter.
The statement further read, “It is highly debatable whether a change in conservator at this time would be in Ms. Spears’s best interests. Nevertheless, even as Mr. Spears is the unremitting target of unjustified attacks, he does not believe that a public battle with his daughter over his continuing service as her conservator would be in her best interests,” the statement said.
E! News reported that the matter is expected to be discussed and “potentially finalised” at her September 29 court hearing.E! News reported that according to Jamie, the conservatorship saved the Toxic artiste from “disaster,” but “recently much has changed” as she has “vocalised a desire to end the Conservatorship”.
Jamie’s lawyer, Vivian Thoreen, acknowledged Britney’s “suffering” during a court statement in June, saying he is “sorry” to see her “in so much pain” as he “loves his daughter”, as per E! News.
During the recent hearing, Britney even expressed that if she couldn’t end the conservatorship altogether, she at least “wanted to remove her father completely out from the conservatorship”.
