Britney Spears has a mother and this is what she said
Britney Spears' mother, Lynne Spears, finally comes out on stage to defend her daughter, who has been trying for years to end parental guardianship and regain control of her life. Lynne Spears, who has remained silent until now, has filed court papers requesting permission for the pop star to hire hers of her own attorney who has dropped the case amid the guardianship battle.
Lynne, who has never had a formal role in the process but is considered an interested party, requested in a formal petition, to which 'Page Six' has had access, that the court "listen to the wishes of her daughter", allowing the singer "hired your own private legal counsel" for the first time in more than 13 years. Britney, 39, had previously been represented by Samuel D. Ingham III, whom a judge appointed as legal representative in February 2008 immediately after the singer was declared incapacitated.
Lynne, 66, called Britney's testimony in June 23 court "a show of bravery" and praised her daughter for "showing her heart in a passionate plea to be heard on various requests." . She also said that Britney is "capable of taking care" of herself and has been able to do so "for the past few years."
Thirteen years of legal guardianship
It should be remembered that for the last 13 years, the singer has been forced to obey the rules of this judicial protection that imposes decisions on her finances, her personal life and even what she can publish on her social media profiles. in 2007 when, the then considered 'queen of pop', was overcome by success. In that year she lost custody of her two children that she had with Kevin Federline and after several admissions to mental institutions, her father, Jamie Spears, achieved her incapacity in court and guardianship of life and fortune of her. To this day, her father acts as joint guardian of his daughter's finances and was also in charge of her personal affairs until he resigned from that position in September 2019. Last year, Britney Spears initiated a legal process to prevent her father to play that role again. In her court filings, Britney Spears said she wanted the private wealth management firm Bessemer Trust to be named her sole trustee.
At the end of June Britney Spears testified in Los Angeles Superior Court to regain control of her life with a chilling testimony in which she recounted the ordeal lived at the hands of her father, Jamie Spears, however Judge Brenda Penny denied the request of the pop star. Now it is her mother who comes to her aid. It will be necessary to wait if the judge agrees with her mother and allows Britney Spears to hire her own lawyer and not an imposed one.
