When commenting about the corrupted conservatorship agreement that gave Jamie and his team of chosen lawyers control over Britney's fortune, business ventures and private affairs, her attorney Matthew Rosengart said:

"Britney Spears deserves to wake up tomorrow without her father as her conservator."

BuzzFeed further reports that the final ruling on the termination of the conservatorship will be made at a hearing set for 12 November, 2021. Given enough evidence to support Britney's claim that her father was extorting her, the judge will be able to rule in favour of a termination.
