Jamie Spears Trying To Extort Millions Before Stepping Down As Conservator, Britney's Lawyer Claims

Britney Spears' legal team will not be bullied by her father. The singer's attorney, Mathew Rosengart, filed for new court documents Monday requesting Jamie Spears' immediate suspension from the conservatorship as he claimed Jamie is trying to extort money from her daughter.

Rosengart alleged that Jamie is seeking $2 million in payments, which includes $1.3 million in attorney's fees, $500,000 for Britney's former management company and additional payments to Jamie himself, in exchange for stepping down as the singer's conservator, according to Variety.

"The status quo is no longer tolerable, and Britney Spears will not be extorted," Rosengart wrote in the filing. "Mr. Spears's blatant attempt to barter suspension and removal in exchange for approximately $2 million in payments, on top of the millions already reaped from Ms. Spears's estate by Mr. Spears and his associates, is a non-starter."

"Having finally acknowledged that his time as Conservator should end, Mr. Spears is obligated to step down without condition and without seeking to extract anything further from his daughter," Rosengart added. He also requested the court to appoint a replacement for Jamie as soon as possible.

Rosengart has also slammed Jamie's attorney, Vivian Lee Thoreen, who said in a recent filing that Jamie's "sole motivation" for continuing as Britney's conservator is "his unconditional love for his daughter and a fierce desire to protect her from those trying to take advantage of her."

"While Mr. Spears professes his purported 'love' and 'support' of his daughter even as he stripped her of her autonomy and dignity and engaged in abusive conduct toward her, his First Response reveals his true motivations: to receive or make large monetary payments," Rosengart said further.

Last month, Jamie agreed to step down as conservator of Britney's estate "when the time is right." As per the legal documents obtained by Entertainment Tonight, Jamie wants to work with the court on an orderly transition.

It was in June when Britney broke her silence about the court-ordered conservatorship. In a Los Angeles hearing, which was done via video conference, the singer asked the judge to put an end to the conservatorship that has been controlling her life and money since February 2008.

"I've lied and told the whole world 'I'm OK and I'm happy.' It's a lie," the "Stronger" singer said in her 20-minute statement. "I thought I just maybe if I said that enough. Because I've been in denial. I've been in shock. I am traumatized. You know, fake it till you make it. But now I'm telling you the truth, OK? I'm not happy. I can't sleep. I'm so angry it's insane. And I'm depressed. I cry every day."

The singer also shared that she had been forced to perform on stage and take medication against her will and was prohibited from seeing a doctor to have her IUD removed.
