A Los Angeles court on Wednesday denied pop star Britney Spears‘ request to remove her father as the conservator of her estate, several media outlets reported. The singer-songwriter has been under the legal conservatorship involving her father, James ‘Jamie’ Spears, for a decade. She had sought her father’s removal as soon as a financial institution was appointed as sole conservator of the estate.

But, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny denied the singer’s request. However, she has assigned a financial institution, Bessemer Trust, as Jamie Spear’s co-conservator and Jodi Montgomery as her conservator of the person. Montgomery was appointed as Britney Spears’ temporary conservator of the person in 2019.

In an emotional hearing last Wednesday, Britney Spears urged the court to end an “abusive” guardianship that gave her father control of her affairs in 2008.

“I just want my life back. It’s been 13 years and it’s enough,” the singer said in her 20-minute address at the court.

Since her highly public breakdown in 2007 when she was seen barefoot and clean-shaved at a gas station, Britney Spears’ life and finances have been largely managed by her father.

In her address at the court, the pop star said that, under the legal arrangement, she has been prevented from having a contraceptive implant removed, despite wanting more children.

It had left her “traumatised” and “depressed,” the mother of two said.

“I’m not happy. I can’t sleep. I’m so angry. It’s insane,” Britney Spears said.

“I truly believe this conservatorship is abusive. I want changes, I deserve changes,” she pleaded to Judge Brenda Penny, news agency AFP reported.

Meanwhile, Jamie Spears on Tuesday filed a petition in which he sought an investigation into his daughter’s claims, which he has denied. His team said that Jamie only has his daughter’s best interests at heart.
