Last month, Britney Spears gave passionate testimony describing the severe mistreatment and lack of freedom she’s experienced as a result of the conservatorship. Jamie Spears originally helmed both parts of the conservatorship, but stepped down as his daughter’s personal conservator in 2019, leaving Montgomery in charge. Following Britney Spears’ explosive testimony, the wealth management company Bessemer Trust ― which had been appointed to oversee her finances alongside Jamie Spears ― requested to resign, saying it had been under the mistaken impression that the conservatorship had been voluntary on Britney Spears’ part.
