Britney Spears lost her case against her father and said she won’t sing anymore

The singer’s father will continue to be in charge of making decisions about her career and even her personal life.

Britney Spears has taken a new blow in her attempt to be an independent woman: Judge Brenda Penny, of the Los Angeles courthouse, has rejected the request for her father, James Spears, to stop being her legal guardian and administrator.

Since 2008, Britney Spears’ father has been her tutor and the 38-year-old singer cannot make decisions about her career or even her private life without her approval.

On Tuesday, November 1, in a session at the Los Angeles Superior Court, the judge refused to suspend the guardianship of James Spears, but said he would not rule out future removal requests, international media reported.

Britney’s attorney, Samuel D. Ingham III, told the judge that “my client has informed me that she is afraid of her father. He will no longer sing if his father continues to direct his career. “

But that wasn’t enough for the judge.

According to specialist media such as Variety, financial advisory firm Bessemer Trust has been appointed co-director, along with James Spears, of Britney’s businesses.

To preserve protection, Britney’s father’s attorneys have assured that since James was appointed administrator, he has paid off the singer’s financial debts and now has wealth worth approximately $ 60 million.

Why is Britney’s father her tutor?

In 2007, Britney Spears had a nervous breakdown (when she shaved and hit a car with an umbrella).

These events occurred soon after her divorce from Kevin Federline and when she lost custody of her two children.

In the United States, there is a legal figure called conservatorship (something like guardianship) and that’s when someone becomes the legal guardian of an adult living with a mental condition that doesn’t allow them to take care of themselves.

According to the US media, these types of situations are not uncommon and generally end in a few months or years. But in the case of Britney Spears, the guardianship has already been 12 years.

Britney cannot make decisions about her career, which includes making her own music, recording, gigging or touring. Fans should remember Briney’s stay in Las Vegas – the whole thing was her father’s doing.

She is even prevented from making basic decisions such as who can see her in person or communicate with doctors to discuss her treatment.
