Britney Spears' Dad Jamie Remains Pop Star's Conservator Despite Request To Drop Him

Britney Spears requested to drop her dad Jamie Spears from her conservatorship, but her petition has remained unaddressed days after the filing.

Jamie's role in Britney's conservatorship has remained unchanged following the hearing on Wednesday, based on the court documents obtained by Entertainment Tonight. The hearing was a scheduled status conference, where Los Angeles Judge Brenda Penny granted the motion to seal a hearing and transcripts in Britney's conservatorship case.

The documents also showed that the temporary letters of conservatorship were extended through Feb. 1, 2021. Meanwhile, Britney's lawyer, Samuel Ingham, has until Sept. 18 to file a petition. Earlier this week, ET also obtained court documents showing Britney's desire to make her longtime care manager Jodi Montgomery her permanent conservator instead of her dad. Montgomery was appointed as Britney's temporary conservator in September 2019 and her court appointment will expire on Aug. 22.

"[Jamie] previously served as sole conservator of her person since 2008," the court documents stated.

"Britney is strongly opposed to having [Jamie] return as conservator of her person. Rather, she strongly prefers to have Ms. Montgomery continue in that role as she has done for nearly a year. ... Britney would like Ms. Montgomery's appointment as conservator of her person to be made permanent."

Britney also opposed to her father being the sole conservator of her estate. The "Baby One More Time" hitmaker prefers to have a qualified corporate fiduciary for the role.

"We are now at a point where the conservatorship must be changed substantially in order to reflect the major changes in her current lifestyle and her stated wishes," the documents added.

Britney's fans held a #FreeBritney protest outside the courthouse in Los Angeles during the hearing. Her ex-husband Jason Alexander joined the protest, according to Elizabeth Dinon, one of the #FreeBritney movement supporters.

"He’s really happy to be here, super friendly, extremely thankful for us and this," Dinon said of Alexander.

Meanwhile, Britney’s father denied the allegations that his daughter needed to be freed. Jamie called those claims a conspiracy theory and the movement a joke. He also urged them to stop interfering with his daughter’s conservatorship because it’s a family matter.

"It’s up to the court of California to decide what’s best for my daughter. It’s no one else’s business," Jamie said.

"I love my daughter. I love all my kids. But this is our business. It’s private,"
