Britney Spears , who has been under the legal control of her father Jamie for 13 years, is finally free.
During a hearing at the Superior Court in Los Angeles, Judge Brenda Penny decided the immediate suspension of Jamie Spears from the role of guardian, as requested by the pop star's attorney Matthew Rosengart.
In his place, he appointed auditor John Zabel as temporary controller of Britney's assets, a fortune valued at $ 60 million.
Jamie Spears had asked for the overall revocation of the institution of the "custodianship" to which Britney has been subjected since 2008 after two mental breakdowns in the days of the divorce from Kevin Federline that had ended up being fed on TV. But the singer's lawyer opposed the cancellation on the spot: an instance that, the lawyer said, would aim to avoid the legal consequences of the abuses that Britney has suffered not only in the last thirteen years "but since she was a child" .
Jamie, Rosengart said, is "a cruel, toxic and violent man". Britney "wants him out of her life today and deserves to wake up tomorrow knowing that her father is no longer her guardian." Another hearing will be set, probably before the end of the year, to consider whether to cancel the "custodianship", but in the meantime all documents relating to Jamie's management pass into the hands of his successor.
