Britney Spears’ Lawyer Accuses Dad Jamie of “Running” From Deposition

Britney’s lawyer also detailed in his filing a few of the allegations against Jamie, who was suspended as her co-conservator in September, two months before her conservatorship, which the singer deemed “abusive,” was terminated. The filing alleges that Jamie “failed, among other things, to produce communications concerning the shocking electronic surveillance apparatus set up to spy on his daughter.”

This past January, Rosengart filed in court a declaration from a former FBI special agent working as a private investigator for the singer, who determined that while Britney was under her conservatorship, Jamie had a security agency place a recording device in her bedroom to capture her private conversations. The allegation was first made by one of the group’s former employees in the 2021 New York Times documentary Controlling Britney Spears.

According to Rosengart, the deposition will also include questions about “efforts to control his daughter via lithium,” “the spying operation alleged and exposed by a whistleblower and The New York Times,” “the total sums he paid himself and others” and “using Britney Spears’s resources to oppose or suppress the #FreeBritney Movement.”

Jamie’s lawyer had told The New York Times, “All of his actions were well within the parameters of the authority conferred upon him by the court. His actions were done with the knowledge and consent of Britney, her court-appointed attorney, and/or the court.” After Jamie was suspended as Britney’s co-conservator, his lawyer said in a statement that “for 13 years, [Jamie] has tried to do what is in [Britney’s] best interests, whether as a conservator or her father.”
