Britney Spears to pay $2 million in conservatorship settlement with dad

Britney Spears and her father, Jamie Spears, have finally settled their years-long dispute concerning legal fees related to the popstar’s 13-year conservatorship — with Britney reportedly now having to fork over more than $2 million to law firms Jamie hired throughout the battle.

Attorneys for both the “Stronger” singer, 42, and her father confirmed to People on Friday that the two settled the dispute — initially filed in December 2021 over alleged financial misconduct — for an undisclosed sum in Los Angeles Superior Court earlier this week.

Sources with direct knowledge later told TMZ that sum amounted to more than $2 million, despite her lawyer’s claims that Jamie previously paid himself $6 million from his daughter’s estate.

Attorney Mathew Rosengart allegedly assured Britney she had a solid case against her father, who he accuses of mishandling finances throughout her conservatorship and secretly surveilling his daughter via the security team he hired to protect her, according to The New York Times.

Jamie has denied any wrongdoing.

The settlement, though not what Britney and her legal team hoped for, now means the father-daughter duo will not have to address the issue in trial, which would have begun next month.

“Her wish for freedom is now truly complete,” Rosengart said in a statement to People, noting the conservatorship — which began in 2008 — has long been terminated. “Her freedom now includes that she will no longer need to attend or be involved with court or entangled with legal proceedings in this matter.”

Jamie’s lawyer, meanwhile, said his client is “thrilled that this is all behind him. He loves his daughter very much and everything he has ever done has been to protect and support her. It is unfortunate that some irresponsible people in Britney’s life chose to drag this on for as long as it has.”

Britney highlighted the events leading up to and surrounding the conservatorship in her explosive memoir, “The Woman In Me,” which hit shelves last fall.

She also spoke on its effects in a 22-minute confessional she shared on YouTube in summer 2022.

“I do feel victimized after these experiences,” she said at the time. “I think the main thing I do remember was my dad’s control. He loved to control everything I did. … I felt like my family threw me away.”
