(ANSA) - NEW YORK, JUL 27 - She had repeatedly proclaimed him to be 'out' and now she has gone from words to deeds: BritneySpears, through her new lawyer Mathew Rosengart, has officially asked the Superior Court of Los Angeles to remove her father Jamie from role of "legal guardian" of all his assets: thus freeing the pop star from what Rosengart himself called "a Kafkaesque nightmare".
In place of Jamie Spears, Rosengart asked that JasonRubin, "a qualified professional", take care of the singer's finances. Britney has a portfolio of $ 2.7 million in cash and other assets of $ 57 million. Rubin, according to his website, has extensive experience in managing complex trusts but also in cases of financial exploitation of the elderly through the legal institution of the "custodianship", the same that, at the request of his father, was imposed on Spears in 2008 after a series of public episodes of mental breakdown.
For years Britney had repeatedly complained about the yoke to which her father had subjected her: a gilded prison, but still a prison, which the singer had described with special effects ("I would like another child," she said, "but they won't let me. to remove the spiral ") during a cheerless hearing on June 23 in which she spoke for the first time" in voice ". On that occasion, the pop star had shot on her father and proclaimed her intention to sue him and the rest of the family. The move to replace would now be the first act towards the total "liberation" of Britney in a strategy that would lead Judge Brenda Penny to reexamine the validity of the "custodianship". (HANDLE).
