Britney Spears’ Father Loses Right To Delegate Her Finances and Investments
Within this past week, #FreeBritney, a movement created by fans to free Britney Spears’ from her conservatorship, made waves.
While Britney is still under a full conservatorship with her father, the decisions made by the court today were a step in the right direction. According to USA Today, “The judge agreed to Britney Spears’ wish to have someone with equal power to her father in control of her case. But Jamie Spears, 68, remains a co-conservator despite his daughter’s objections to him. The judge appointed Bessemer to the conservatorship in November while rejecting Britney’s effort to remove her father entirely. Still, Jamie Spears objected to the proposed management arrangement with Bessemer, arguing that it reduced the power he’s held for years in the case.”
Bessemer Trust is a private, independent multi-family office that oversees more than $140 billion for over 2,500 families, foundations, and endowments.
Britney is not totally free yet. But the judge denied him sole control of the conservatorship, particularly rights to decide where to invest money. Bessemer Trust now is a co-conservator. Getting her dad out is a big step towards her being free.

Britney certainly is a talented superstar who deserves to live her life the way she chooses and not be controlled by her father or anyone else.
