Britney Spears has spoken! The pop star has requested a permanent change in her conservatorship, asking the courts to remove her father Jamie Spears and appoint Jodi Montgomery in his place.
Jodi, Britneyโs care manager, temporarily took over the role in September 2019 when Jamie asked to be removed for โpersonal healthโ reasons.
TMZ reports that in the newly filed court docs:
Britney โstrongly prefersโ keeping Jodi Montgomery in the position โ who has been assigned as the temporary conservator over Britneyโs person for nearly a year now. At this point, she says she wants to put her in that role permanently.
As for her business affairs, Britneyโs attorney says she doesnโt want Jamie to be the only one handling her estate anymore โ which heโs been managing exclusively since 2019 when his co-conservator resigned.
Instead, he says Britney prefers a โqualified corporate fiduciaryโ to manage the business affairs of her estate. But, whatโs unclear in the docs is if sheโs okay with keeping Jamie on as a co-conservator at all.
Sources with knowledge of the situation tell us conversations have been had about adding a corporate fiduciary โ which weโre told would likely be a bank โ but that the talks have included Jamie staying on as co-conservator of the estate. The wording from Britneyโs side in the docs isnโt clear if sheโs still open to that arrangement or not.
It sounds like Britney just wants to be Britney and be able to live her life as she pleases. Hopefully, sheโll be able to do just that.
