Britney Spears has lost the trial of Jamie’s guardian and father. Asset manager Bessemer Trust would now like to withdraw.
The public pressure is now too great for a large company: Bessemer Trust, a renowned financial services provider from New York City, no longer wants to have anything to do with Britney Spears’ asset management. , the company asked a Los Angeles court on Thursday to withdraw from the Spears case.
The decision about this step was made after Spears testified in court that she was personally against the agreement and does not want it to be. For the singer, the guardianship would cause irreparable damage. Specifically, she applied to the court for the abolition of her father’s guardianship and the associated trust by the Bessemer Trust. However, the court refused.
Was she forced to take medication?
In her testimony in court, Spears said she found the original 2008 agreement “abusive”. She was traumatized and forced against her will to take the drug lithium. In addition, she was forbidden to marry and to stop using contraceptives in order to become pregnant. It was only last year that the Bessemer Trust became part of the complicated construct surrounding Spears’ assets, who would act as co-administrators alongside her father.
To date, however, the company has not done anything at all with its assets of around 60 million dollars, as they are still waiting for final court documents. Fees for any services have not yet been paid. Now, however, they have called the court again about “changed circumstances” and asked to be allowed to withdraw from the case.
Under guardianship since 2008
After a mental breakdown, Britney Spears’ father was appointed as her guardian by a court in 2008. Since then he has made decisions about her life and finances. Since 2014, the singer and mother of two has been trying to break free from her father’s guardianship. She receives support from many fans who draw attention to the case under the hashtag #FreeBritney. Celebrities such as recently ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake (40) and Mariah Carey (51) also support her publicly.
