According to Britney Spears‘ longtime manager Larry Rudolph, she is planning on retiring from music. In turn, Rudolph says that he is resigning as Britney‘s manager as his “professional services are no longer needed” after 25 years of working together.

Rudolph announced his resignation in a letter to Jamie Spears and Jodi Montgomery, the co-executors of Britney’s estate, per Deadline.

Larry Rudolph's full statement

James P. Spears and Jodi Montgomery, as co-executors of the estate of Britney Spears:

It has been over 2 1/2 years since Britney and I last communicated, at which time she informed me she wanted to take an indefinite work hiatus. Earlier today, I became aware that Britney had been voicing her intention to officially retire.

As you know, I have never been a part of the conservatorship nor its operations, so I am not privy to many of these details. I was originally hired at Britney’s request to help manage and assist her with her career. And as her manager, I believe it is in Britney’s best interest for me to resign from her team as my professional services are no longer needed.

Please accept this letter as my formal resignation.

I will always be incredibly proud of what we accomplished over our 25 years together. I wish Britney all the health and happiness in the world, and I’ll be there for her if she ever needs me again, just as I always have been.

Larry Rudolph

The news of Rudolph’s resignation is the latest dramatic development in Spears’ attempts to end her conservatorship, which for 13 years has seen her conservators, who include her father, Jamie Spears, controlling many important aspects of her life including her finances, her relationships with other people and personal decisions about her health.

In a now-infamous June 23rd court hearing, Spears told the judge overseeing the arrangement of her conservatorship that Jamie Spears and others including Rudolph, although he was not directly named, “should be in jail.”

“The people who did this to me should not get away,” Spears said to the judge, adding, “Ma’am, my dad, and anyone involved in this conservatorship, and my management, who played a huge role in punishing me when I said no — Ma’am, they should be in jail.”

The pop star’s shocking testimony put the #FreeBritney movement even more into the spotlight with fans around the world rallying behind her, demanding justice for Spears who said she is “traumatized” from living under her restrictive arrangement.
