LOS ANGELES (77WABC) — Britney Spears will no longer have her father managing her estate, after he was suspended from the role as conservator in a court hearing today.
According to CNN, a Los Angeles judge on Wednesday suspended the legal oversight of her father, Jamie Spears, designating a replacement selected by the singer and her attorney. Certified public accountant John Zabel has been appointed as temporary conservator of her estate.
CNN added that Britney Spears’ attorney Mathew Rosengart called her father “a cruel, toxic, abusive man” who allegedly placed a recording device in her bedroom.
The move suspends Jamie Spears as his daughter’s conservator, but it does not end the conservatorship. Another hearing will be set — possibly before the end of the year — to consider terminating the conservatorship altogether. The exact date is not known.
