Vater Spears will retreat, although, as he reported in a press release from his lawyers, there were actually no reasons at all for this. “In fact, it is very debatable whether a change in supervision of guardianship is in the best interests of Ms. Spears,” it says.
Since 2008, Jamie Spears has been the guardian of his 39-year-old daughter, who despite incapacitation is still one of the greatest pop stars of today and who, according to all we know, has displeased this rule for years. Most recently, Jamie Spears had become the favorite villain of the #freebritney movement and, in his opinion, exposed to unjust attacks, which is why he now believes that an open fight with his daughter is probably not in her best interests.
It is almost touching that the 69-year-old is now also keeping an eye on Britney’s emotional budget, as the justifications he has given so far as justification for her incapacitation were purely financial in nature.
When he took over the guardianship, he is said to have had only $ 2.8 million in the account despite a decade of fabulous successes. It was only when he took over the guardianship that business went better again.
Let’s talk about money
In fact, they have not done badly in the 13 years under his leadership. Britney’s “Circus” tour made a profit of 131.8 million dollars in 2009, the “Femme Fatale” tour in 2011 made just under 68.7 million dollars, and the short “Piece of Me” tour in 2018 brought in 54 Million one.
The Las Vegas show “Britney: Piece of Me,” which she performed 250 times for four years up to 2017, raised $ 138 million, and in 2012 the perfume business made a profit of $ 1.5 billion .

At that time, their eleventh fragrance, “Fantasy Twist”, had just hit the market; there are now 28 fragrances, with three more to follow this year. Conservatively estimated, one can assume that thanks to the perfumes another $ 500 million came into the box office, which is why the $ 15 million fee that she earned in 2012 as a judge on the talent show “The X-Factor” was actually just change.
If you add up the largest items, she made about a billion dollars in profit under her father’s leadership, so much of which stuck with her that she can now call her own property of 60 million dollars. Jamie Spears may have done good business with his daughter, but it looks like he wasn’t doing business for her.
Britney’s succinct offense
As Ronan Farrow and Jia Tolentino researched for a story in The New Yorker, Britney, regardless of how much she earned, was given $ 2,000 a week pocket money, while her lawyer, Samuel Ingham, who was assigned to her against her will, received a fee of $ 520,000 a year – until he recently announced, due to public pressure, that he would rather resign. Britney was practically trapped in a web of people who benefited financially from the guardianship, most notably her family, as she was sent across the stages of the world like a show pony.
The reasons for the incapacitation remain shockingly succinct. With Sam Lutfi, she had chosen a manager whom her parents considered at least dodgy; she had a well-documented nervous breakdown; she had shaved her head in protest against her own image; she hit a paparazzo’s car with an umbrella, but what can you say, sometimes it is difficult with intrusive photographers.
She is said to have taken party drugs; contrary to the custody agreement with her youngest son Jayden, she has withdrawn into her bathroom, although a car was waiting in the driveway to bring the children back to her father Kevin Federline.

He then pulled out all the stops and called the police, who in turn called the ambulance, which then appeared accompanied by the fire brigade, which of course also got wind of the press. When Lutfi then showed up at the scene, according to the story in the “New Yorker”, he had the impression of having gotten into a madhouse. With axes and crowbars, people would have popped up in front of the bathroom door, which, as it turned out, Britney hadn’t even locked.
At that time, Britney’s parents named “beginning dementia” as the main reason for the incapacitation, but this was not further examined by the court. And the court had no doubts when Britney, despite the onset of dementia, took a guest role in the sitcom “How I Met Your Mother” just a month after she was incapacitated and then practically never stopped working.
What does crazy mean here?
The perfidious thing about the construction of a guardianship is that, once you are in it, you can hardly escape from it. If the incapacitated person accepts guardianship, it is said that it was necessary because everything seems to be going its regular way.
If the incapacitated person rebels against guardianship, it is said that it is necessary because unfortunately things are not yet going the regular way. Even people who understand Britney’s situation can’t help but notice that it is probably insane.
Of course she’s crazy, the system in which she operates is crazy, everyone, if you look closer, is crazy in one way or another.
But why should an adult pop singer who in between times decided on an unfavorable haircut and opted for a management that her parents did not like, be incapacitated when at the same time the Republican politician Marjorie Taylor Greene as a member of the State of Georgia in the House of Representatives of the United States States sits to represent the interests of their compatriots despite believing the California wildfires were started by Jewish Spacelazers?
Why is Britney’s supposedly gentle lunacy problematic when obviously large parts of the country have gone mad?

If Britney, who is not even given a phone of her own and has to ask for permission when she gets into a car with her boyfriend, whose social media posts are filtered by an agency, hadn’t pulled out all the stops in June itself to testify in court would never have changed anything in their situation.
But suddenly the public began to listen carefully. She spoke of abuse and of being forced to wear an IUD so she wouldn’t get pregnant; that they were forced to take psychotropic drugs, that their sons’ visitation rights were used as means of extortion; that she has no access to passports or credit cards; that she wished her father were behind bars.
Britney, who during her career was primarily a product onto which everyone projected an image of her as they pleased, suddenly seemed to have an identity of its own.
