Investigation Into Britney Spears Conservatorship Will Look Into Her Finances
The New York Times
A court filing reveals a request for extensive information about the role of the pop star’s former business manager.
After insisting for years that Britney Spears’s conservatorship was absolutely necessary, her father, James P. Spears, unexpectedly asked the court in early September to terminate the legal arrangement.
A new court filing on Monday provided a possible explanation for Mr. Spears’s abrupt reversal: He had recently received a request from Ms. Spears’s lawyer for formal discovery and a sworn deposition.
The new filing also offers the first glimpse into where Ms. Spears’s lawyer, Mathew S. Rosengart, is focusing his investigation into the handling of her conservatorship over the past 13 years. The discovery requests sought extensive information about the role of the estate’s former business manager, Tri Star Sports & Entertainment Group, and more information surrounding the complicated web of entities through which the estate operated.
