Britney Spears’ father has agreed to step down as the singer’s conservator after 13 years, US media report.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The singer’s career has been in the hands of legal guardians since public concerns over her mental health in 2008.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The court-ordered agreement gave her father, Jamie Spears, control over her estate and other aspects of her life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

But she later sought to remove him from the role, calling for him to be charged with “conservatorship abuse”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Jamie Spears has consistently denied any accusations of wrongdoing and has expressed concern for his daughter’s wellbeing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A grassroots movement of fans, known as the #FreeBritney campaign, wants the singer to regain autonomy over her affairs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The prolonged legal row gained renewed attention in 2021 following the release of Framing Britney Spears – a documentary which centred on the conflict over the singer’s guardianship.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The 39-year-old later told a judge that she had been drugged, forced to perform against her will and prevented from having children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
