1. In new court docs, Britney Spears’s lawyer says emails show her former business manager Tri Star helped create her conservatorship…that it made $18M from.

Accuses Tri Star of lying for claiming it played “no role.” 2. This seems to contradict a sworn declaration fr Tri Star staffer Robin Greenhill:

“Tri Star played no part whatsoever in suggesting the establishment of the Conservatorship”

“at the time the conservatorship…was established…Tri Star had no role in [Britney's] affairs”

In a new court filing, Britney Spears’s lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, asks a judge to block Jamie’s pursuit of a “revenge deposition” of Britney.

Says Jamie’s plan to depose his daughter is a sham, aimed to intimidate her to back off a full investigation into his wrongdoing. Britney's legal team accuses Jamie of dodging his own deposition for eight months now and says he is still refusing to hand over evidence.

Says Jamie’s goal is to create chaos and drive up legal fees (that Jamie wants Britney to pay for)

NEW: In response to Jamie Spears’s request for Britney to pay his legal fees, Britney’s legal team details an EXTENSIVE list of evidence of Jamie’s alleged wrongdoing, including financial mismanagement, self-dealing and further surveillance nytimes.com/2022/01/18/bus… In the filing, B’s lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, says the 1st act of J’s new lawyer (on the same day the cship was terminated) was a request for B to pay his legal fees, which are around $1,200/hr

Says the request would allow J to run up fees in hopes of driving B into submission

NEW: Britney Spears’s conservatorship is over but there are still many questions around how her $60 million fortune was managed.

At the center of the scrutiny is former business manager Lou Taylor, the owner of Tri Star.

nytimes.com/2021/12/19/bus… In Jan 2008, Tri Star loaned over $40,000 to Jamie Spears, who had a troubled past with money, alcohol & abusive behavior.

Less than a few weeks later-- and after consulting with Lou– Jamie had Britney placed into a conservatorship.

A mystery of Britney Spears’s conservatorship is why her dad Jamie, who insisted FOR YEARS that the cship was absolutely necessary, suddenly did an about face in early Sept and asked the court to terminate it.

A new filing contains a possible answer... nytimes.com/2021/11/02/us/… .... Two weeks earlier, Britney’s lawyer Mathew Rosengart had served Jamie with requests for a sworn deposition and lengthy discovery.

A lot of it is about the estate's former business manager Tri Star Sports & Entertainment, run by Lou Taylor.

BIG day today in the court hearing for Britney Spears’s conservatorship. Judge is expected to hear major issues like removing Jamie Spears as conservator, possibly terminating the conservatorship completely and a lot of disputes over $$$.

A lot has happened the last few days: In court docs, Britney’s lawyer Mathew Rosengart keeps pressing to remove Jamie, citing our recent investigation into how Jamie and a security firm spied on Britney’s phone (including her texts with her lawyer) and secretly recorded her in her bedroom.

NEW: Britney Spears’s dad Jamie and a security firm ran a surveillance apparatus that monitored her phone and secretly captured audio recordings from her bedroom, according to a former employee of the security firm nytimes.com/2021/09/24/art… Alex Vlasov worked for Black Box for 9 years & backed up his claims with emails, texts & recordings.

"When I took a step back and looked at everything it really reminded me of somebody that was in prison....and security was put in a position to be the prison guards essentially."

New court docs: Britney Spears’s lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, responds to her dad Jamie’s recent petition to terminate. Says Britney fully supports termination but pleads again for Jamie to be suspended immediately. Alleges that Jamie’s ABRUPT about face on terminating is bc he is trying to rehab his reputation, avoid being suspended at Sept 29 hearing and trying to impede a full investigation into his conduct for the last 13 years of the conservatorship.

Busy day inside the courtroom for Britney Spears’s conservatorship case today. Some highlights:

- 13 years later, Britney finally won the right to choose her own lawyer: former federal prosecutor and prominent Hollywood attorney Mathew Rosengart. Rosengart was TOUGH: “One thing is clear. This is not working.”
“There’s a real Q why Jamie Spears does not voluntarily step down. Is there a conflict of interest?”
“Does anyone believe Jamie is in her best interest after what we heard?”
“As she said, she wants her life back. This is a first step.”

New legal bills in Britney Spears's conservatorship. This is just for dad Jamie's lawyers...all paid for by Britney:
- Holland & Knight: roughly $1.5M for the last 8 months, including over $500K for "media matters" including a former member of Congress who charged $1,285 an hour - The Freeman firm, which employs Jamie's longtime lawyers Geri & Jeryll, billed $700K+ for the last 20 months
- $21K+ for Sidley Austin (Last year, Britney's CAC objected to Sidley allegedly billing Britney the cost of a cease & desist letter sent on behalf of Lou Taylor)

For her conservatorship fight, Britney Spears may try to hire a former federal prosecutor who has been described as “a tough as nails streetfighter with a big brain and bigger principles.” nytimes.com/2021/07/11/art… It is unknown whether the judge will allow Britney to choose her own lawyer, after the court-appointed lawyer Britney had for 13 years asked to resign last week.
