Britney Spears’ Father Jamie Wants More Money Post Conservatorship

Britney Spears’ father Jamie Spears hasn’t gotten enough of his daughter’s money, apparently. Britney’s lawyer says it is an “abomination” that her father is asking for even more money now that the conservatorship has been terminated.

Per gossip website TMZ, lawyer Mathew Rosengart issued a statement about Jamie’s request: “The conservatorship has been terminated and Mr. Spears was suspended ignominiously. Under the circumstances, his petition is not only legally meritless. It is an abomination. Britney poignantly testified about the pain her father caused her and this only adds to it. This is not what a father who loves his daughter does.”

Jamie Spears filed legal documents to make Britney’s estate pay for his legal fees in winding down the conservatorship, asking that it be paid in “prompt” fashion. This all comes on the heels of a report by the New York Times, alleging that Jamie received a $40,000 loan from Britney’s business manager, Tri Star Sports & Entertainment, at that time.  The report also claims the estate paid for a security company that surveilled members of the #FreeBritney movement who went after Jamie and Tri Star.

Jamie’s lawyer, Alex Weingarten, said all expenditures were made with the approval of the court or Britney’s court-appointed lawyer, saying, “Jamie has nothing to hide and will therefore hide nothing.” A hearing on some of these issues is set for next month.

• 10. (I Got That) Boom Boom

  Featuring the dynamic hip-hop duo that was so popular in the early 2000s, the Ying Yang Twins joined Britney on this hype dance song.

• 9. I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll

  Share

  So many of us heard Britney's pop version of "I Love Rock 'N' Roll" before Joan Jett's 1981 version (sorry not sorry) , and damn, we felt powerful singing along with her angelic voice.

• 8. Me Against the Music

  Share

  The Princess (Britney) and Queen (Madonna) of Pop collaborated on this absolute banger in 2003, locking lips at the VMAs that year.
• 7. Gimme More

  Share

  "Gimme More" was recorded in 2006 during Spears' pregnancy with Jayden. The song may feature racy lyrics, but it's a reference to the public's fascination with Spears's private life.

• 6. Everytime

  Share

  "Everytime" is a haunting ballad that was paired with an even more unsettling music video — one that seems to depict the mental effects of being hounded by paparazzi and trapped in an unhappy relationship.

• 5. Work B—h

  Share

  Such a perfect song to work out to, 2013's "Work" is one of her best songs in recent years.
• 4. Lucky

  Share

  "Lucky" (2000) tells a story about a famous pop star named Lucky, who despite seemingly having it all (fame, wealth, beauty) is truly lonely and unhappy on the inside. Looking back now, you can't help but relate the song to the singer's real-life troubles.

• 3. I’m a Slave 4 U

  Share

  When Britney brought out that yellow python at her 2001 MTV VMA performance, it became an iconic moment that went down in music history.

• 2. … Baby One More Time

  Share

  Of course, Britney's debut song deserves a top spot on the list! Coming out in 1998, people still dress up in her iconic schoolgirl outfit for Halloween!
• 1. Toxic

  Share

  The #1 slot goes to "Toxic," the song that brings out the bad girl in everyone. On a personal note, I remember watching the music video as a young child and feeling the need to change the channel when my parents walked in because it was SO risqué! Delighted to say it is a song that has transcended time and is played to this day.
