The company, which manages more than $100 billion in assets, said it was requesting to withdraw “due to changed circumstances.” bit.ly/3hwQP8e
In the filing, the firm said it was told Spears' conservatorship was voluntary, but her statement against the arrangement last week made clear that she is opposed to it, or at least her father continuing as her conservator. bit.ly/3hwQP8e

A judge has denied Britney Spears' request to have her father removed from her conservatorship. bit.ly/3hlzhvu Image
Spears' attorney Samuel Ingham III had filed the request to remove Spears’ father back in November 2020, stating that his client was “afraid of her father” and would refuse to perform again, if her father continued to be in charge of her career. bit.ly/3hlzhvu Image
At that time, Judge Brenda Penny declined to suspend Spears' father, though she did not rule out future petitions for his removal or suspension. Also, at that time, the judge appointed financial company Bessemer Trust as a co-conservator. bit.ly/3hlzhvu Image
