Our Long National Nightmare Is Over: Britney Spears' Father Steps Down From His Role As Conservator Of Her Estate
Source - The singer's attorney says it's "another step toward justice" and indicates he's still investigating the circumstances surrounding the longstanding conservatorship.
Britney Spears’ father Jamie Spears has agreed to step away from his role as conservator of her estate just weeks after her new legal team filed a petition to remove him and replace him with a CPA, but the exact timing of that transition remains unclear.
Yes, I'm aware that Nate blogged this yesterday, but I've been covering this story since the beginning and I'll be damned if I don't put in my two cents so here it is...step on his throat. Step on his throat and don't let up. There's no reason that Jamie Spears should be a free man when this is all said and done. He spent thirteen YEARS terrorizing his daughter he doesn't get to simply "step down." He should be prosecuted, convicted, and sent to jail. Here's what Jamie's attorney had to say on the situation...
“It is highly debatable whether a change in conservator at this time would be in Ms. Spears’ 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,” writes Thoreen in the filing. “So even though he must contest this unjustified Petition for his removal, Mr. Spears intends to work with the Court and his daughter’s new attorney to prepare for an orderly transition to a new conservator. As the Court has likely surmised, before Ms. Spears’ new attorney arrived, Mr. Spears had already been working on such a transition with Ms. Spears’ former court-appointed counsel, Sam Ingham.”
The filing says Jamie Spears hopes to work with Britney’s new legal team to finalize the pending accounting paperwork and help ensure a smooth transition.
“When these matters are resolved, Mr. Spears will be in a position to step aside. But there are no urgent circumstances justifying Mr. Spears’ immediate suspension,” writes Thoreen. “Regardless of his formal title, Mr. Spears will always be Ms. Spears’ father, he will always love her unconditionally, and he will always look out for her best interests.”
TL/DR: Jamie is stepping down but only because people are attacking him in the news, not because it's the right thing to do.
To be honest, I think he knows it's over and is just praying Britney's attorney doesn't offensive, which is exactly what he's going to do. His statement...
“We look forward to continuing our vigorous investigation into the conduct of Mr. Spears, and others, over the past 13 years, while he reaped millions of dollars from his daughter’s estate, and I look forward to taking Mr. Spears’s sworn deposition in the near future. In the interim, rather than making false accusations and taking cheap shots at his own daughter, Mr. Spears should remain silent and step aside immediately.”
Get him, girl. Let's lock this scumbag up. The next hearing is scheduled for September 29th. Can't wait.
