A judge granted a request by Britney Spears to speak for herself in court about the “status of the conservatorship.”
For the first time, in more than two years, Britney will directly address the judge. Britney is expected to share harsh feelings toward her father. She’s spent years attempting to oust him as conservator. Though, Britney has said she’s “totally fine” under a long-standing conservatorship.
That Britney needed to ask Judge Brenda Penny for permission underscored to the #FreeBritney movement exactly how flawed this system is to keep her caged for 13 years.
On Tuesday, the judge scheduled the hearing for June 23rd. Another is set for July to negotiate “various accounting issues.” (Billboard)
On the other side of the fence, Britney can take a break from fighting with her dad, because papa Jamie has decided to start a new battle with Brit’s mom.
Lynne Spears filed an objection to Jamie’s request that his ever-increasing legal fees be paid by the conservatorship account he’s allowed to draw on. That didn’t sit well with Jamie, who fired back that Brit’s mom has “no knowledge” of what’s best for the troubled star.
Jamie’s lawyers wrote, “Despite having zero involvement in her daughter’s conservatorship until very recently, Lynne Spears is asserting claims as if she were a party directly involved in the litigation, which she is not.” The papers went on to call him “a loving, caring father who has nothing to hide, has been loyal and fiercely loving toward his daughter, sought to protect her, and manage her finances so that she can live her life the way she wants.” (Us Weekly)
This year’s Academy Awards got two thumbs up from Adele — who made a rare public appearance at a party for Best Supporting Actor winner Daniel Kaluuya.
An Instagram user known as Curly Bartender posted a bit of footage from the private event, including a clip of her scrolling through her phone and saying, “I’m the DJ, here we go!”
Curly, whoever he or she is, wrote it was “When we went from the Oscars after party to the After after party. Adele loved our Moscow Mules & we loved the dance party.”
