On Saturday, she entered into a multi-million dollar agreement in court in Los Angeles to pay her father Jamie Spears’ legal expenses and other costs, according to several American media.
– Although the guardianship was terminated in 2021, her wish for full freedom has now been completely fulfilled, says the musician’s lawyer Mathew Rosengart.
The father’s lawyer, Alex Weingarten, says he’s glad the whole thing is over.
In an Instagram post on Sunday, Spears harshly criticized her family:
“My family hurt me!!! There has been no justice and probably never will be!!!,” she writes.
The artist adds that she was raised to learn about right and wrong.
“But the two people who raised me with that method hurt me. (…) I miss my home in Louisiana and I wish I could visit, but they took everything!!!”, she writes.
Got a guardian after several mental breakdowns
After a lengthy legal battle, in November 2021 Spears had her father removed from her guardianship, where he had extensive control over her life and fortune, and she herself was allowed to choose a temporary replacement.
The father was appointed guardian in 2008 after she had several mental breakdowns. Spears claimed that her father abused the power he had over her, while he defends himself and says he only wanted the best for his daughter.
42-year-old Britney Spears is one of the world‘s most successful musicians, with several platinum records, and it is believed that she has a fortune of 60 million dollars.
