The father of Britney Spears He was removed from the judicial guardianship with which he had controlled his daughter’s life for 13 years, a Los Angeles court decided on Wednesday.

Jamie Spears’ suspension takes effect immediately, and she will be replaced with an interim guardian “in the best interest” of Britney Spears, Judge Brenda Penny said.

“Mr. Spears must surrender all his assets and powers as guardian”, Penny said during the hearing that lasted more than two hours.

The provisional tutor will remain in charge until December 31 of this year, although there are expectations that the agreement will be undone before that. A short hearing is scheduled for November 12.

The controversial agreement was enacted in 2008 after Britney attacked a paparazzi at a gas station and handed Jamie Spears financial and personal control of the singer.

A New York Times documentary released Friday claims Jamie Spears had surveillance devices secretly installed in Britney’s room to record their conversations.

Britney’s attorney, Mathew Rosengart, claimed the documentary revealed “horrific and excessive violations of her adult daughter’s privacy” by Jamie Spears.

Another documentary, “Britney vs. Spears,” released by Netflix on Tuesday, claims that Britney tried twice to hire her own attorney in the early years of the conservatorship but was denied.

In July, the 39-year-old pop princess was finally able to put in her own attorney (Rosengart) and last month Jamie Spears himself filed a petition to end Britney’s guardianship entirely.

“Abusive”

This Wednesday, lawyers for Jamie Spears objected to his suspension, challenging the allegations made by the New York Times and questioning the emotional testimony that Britney offered in a previous hearing where he described the agreement as “abusive”.

“There is not a single thread of evidence to support the suspension,” said Vivian Thoreen, an attorney for Spears, via video call.

Thoreen questioned whether Britney’s father would be replaced by Zabel, “a stranger,” and asked to completely end the guardianship.

But Rosengart, the singer’s attorney, insisted this was simply a tactic since both parties knew it was impossible for the court to “snap their fingers” and end the entire guardianship.

The lawyer claimed that Jamie Spears feared suspension because it could force him to present “evidence of his corruption and much worse.”

The immediate suspension “is what my client Britney Spears, a victim of this man not only during the last decade but since her childhood, is what she wants and deserves,” he said. “Please listen to my client’s request” to “end this Kafkaesque nightmare.”

“In the clouds”

After the decision, Britney posted a video of herself as a copilot on a plane, though she makes no reference to the ruling. “In heaven right now !!!! First time flying an airplane and first time in a jet plane, “he wrote. In twenty minutes, the post gained more than 6,000 comments.

“Free Britney! Congratulations !!!!!!!!! ”, wrote her fiancé, Sam Asghari, also on Instagram.

The coach also posted a photo in which two hands – apparently those of the couple – are seen holding a rose, and an image of a lioness with the legend “The power of the lioness !!!!!”

“She did it. His fan base is called an ‘army’ for a reason, “he added.

In Los Angeles, a group of fans closed a street near the court to demonstrate in favor of the pop singer. “Free Britney” could be read on various banners. Others arrived early to get a seat in the room where the audience was held, which was completely full.

Fans of the American singer have accused her father of benefiting financially from guardianship, while lawyers have said that her father “never lived up to it”, citing in his petition allegations of alleged alcoholism and “the trauma that he suffered. it caused his daughter from her childhood ”.
