'Toxic environment': Judge suspends Britney Spears’ father from conservatorship
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ^ | September 30, 2021 | Andrew Dalton, Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Britney Spears has been freed from her father. And she could be freed entirely from court control within weeks.

In a major victory for the pop star, a judge on Wednesday suspended the singer’s father from the conservatorship that has controlled her life and money for 13 years, saying the arrangement “reflects a toxic environment.”

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny agreed with a petition from Spears and her attorney that James Spears needs to give up his role as conservator.

Are people allowed to sweat from their own brow, I mean she is an adult not a child, its her life, and her money. Plenty of people who F up and pay the price for it own their own and have no pot to piss in, why is she special?

Her father agreed to step aside. My guess is that if she goes seriously off the rails he will try to insert himself again.

Appreciate your comments DR.
It is interesting how people will just go with the first reports they hear without checking facts. I have no connection to this person or her family so I welcome any correction and thanks.

Britney herself commented on her own struggle with bipolar disorder in 2012. I have no ability diagnose her myself for obvious reasons, but it is at least fair to say she is or has been bipolar. Is this “insane”? I am not sure what is meant by that word, which is why in therapy and in courts they must use accurate terminology. Reading between the lines, when people say she is insane or crazy, they mean that she has some mental health issue that prevents her from taking care of herself. It is entirely possible that what she has described is a sane person’s reaction to the particular stress to which she was being subjected at that time.

Some say she has Dissociative Identity Disorder. When she was dating a British boyfriend around the time of her custody stand-off when she refused to turn over Sean to K-Fed, her friends reported her speaking in a British accent. From the Evening Standard, so take it for what it is worth,
“Friends of the singer said Britney has been showing different personalities, including “the British girl”, “the weepy girl”, “the diva” and “the incoherent girl”.

There is a televised interview with Diane Sawyer which seems to show her switching between identities. FreeBritney activists including the hosts of The View believe that Sawyer edited the interview to make Britney look bad and are demanding Sawyer apologize. I watched a YouTube of that interview narrated by someone with diagnosed multiple personality disorder who was very sympathetic to her, but confirmed the condition. Is this “insane”? Well nowadays you can describe someone with a condition as high-functioning or not.

But she shaved her head! That’s crazy!! She thought that her hair was going to be used in a drug test. If she tested positive she would lose the boys. There was no test, and she did lose the boys anyway. If true, then it is an admission she was using and deserved to lose custody, but it is most certainly NOT insane. It is a reasonable, at least understandable though desperate reaction to Federline’s threat.

I don’t know why I am interested in this, but I appreciate your contribution.

“During this ordeal she’s been trapsing around half naked“

She’s moved past “half”

“It’s her mistake to make. I never understood why she was under that regime. As far as I can see, she went commando one day and the paparazzi got a crotch shot. Hounded and scare of the paparazzi another time, she drove away without putting her kid in a car seat. She shaved her head once, posed nude pregnant and got a divorce where someone broke took her to the cleaners.” [wrong]

She’s bi-polar (used to be called manic-depressive). Lost custody of her two sons by her marriage to Kevin Federline because she couldn’t keep it together because of her mental disease. They got divorced; he got custody.

She has exchanged her father for a Muzzie grifter boyfriend, now newly fiance (formerly her personal trainer) waiting in the wings to marry her, get her knocked up and cash in for life to a big piece of her fortune (he will dump her at some point as she’s not screwed on right).

She “celebrated” her new found freedom from her Dad handling her financial affairs via the Conservatorship by taking selfies of herself nude and posted pics on-line. Oh she’s not a looney-tune? She’s just traded in and got a new bunch of vultures to peck at her money rather than her father who protected her money from said vultures for as long as he could.

The Courts say he has managed her money well. He only managed her finances, not her complaints of her not so private life that was handled by a different Conservator. She’s on her own now, and it will end badly, mark my words. She’s a naive train wreck waiting to happen. Her court appointed female Conservator for her personal needs just a few months back said Brittany might have to be put in a mental institution for a while as she was escalating out of control (manic/depressive = bi-polar). The drama continues.

“He even got to dictate who she dated, if she could drive a car, and to ensure she in on birth control.”

These issues were dealt with by her female Conservator who managed her personal needs. Her father had no part in what you stated above. He only handled her financial affairs, not her personal ones.

He preserved her estate

She’s free a few days and is already plastering nudes of herself all over the internet

Look at her eyes

She’s batshit

I know that look....I married it once

Her dad saved her butt from herself

Or she better get someone solid watching her money and brand

wait.... I used to think Jamie Spears was looking out for Britney- until i read he was actually making and spending money off this gig.
Even if he was required by law to be paid, he should not enrich himself off his kids money.
if she was mine, I’d worry too. But I would not live off her largesse, that’s just wrong.
And the cameras in her bedroom, if true, are a bit much.
I never liked her mom, she was/is pimping her daughters out for cash.

And you diagnosed her? Again, her activities just show immaturity in the past, and stunted growth now from being in dad’s prison.

She’ll be fine.

Trustees and conservators are frequently paid.

Any objective person watching her meltdowns know she needed one

And likely still does

20 k a month from your own kid? seems wrong. That’s just me though- i’d put the money away and give it back to her. It’s her money.
