Britney Spears paints. She documents her hobby on her Instagram account - but more importantly: She lets her fan base participate in her current state of mind in this way.
“You know there's a lot going on in my life right now. Today I felt overwhelmed (...). "
An allusion to the fact that the 39-year-old singer has started a new attempt to withdraw her father's guardianship - which he has held for 13 years.
On Monday, her new lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, moved to court for her father to be replaced.
Spears had tried several times to get rid of her father as guardian - the last time a judge had rejected her request a few weeks ago.
Mathew Rosengart / Lawyer
“I want to thank Britney Spars for their courage and strength. And I would like to thank their fans: They have given them a lot of support, not just on all social media channels, nationwide and even worldwide. She deserves this support and values it.
Less than two weeks ago, my law firm and I promised that we would aggressively and quickly end the thirteen-year status quo, we would like to remove James P. Spears as guardian. "
It's about a lot of money.
Spears' net worth is estimated at $ 60 million.
After the singer collapsed in 2008 due to professional and personal problems, a court had given her father guardianship and control of her finances.
In the ongoing trial, Spears testified that she was ill-treated under legal guardianship.
Her father denied her independent medical decisions.
She also had to take medication against her will.
In addition, she should continue to use contraception so as not to have any more children.
Britney Spears now writes on Instagram about her time-lapse painting video:
“I wanted colors. It is an expression of how I feel right now ... rebellious ... colorful ... bright ... brave ... spontaneous ... magical ... well, I show my true colors. "
Her fans speculate again and again whether she's doing these postings herself - or whether her guardian is behind it.
The current video speaks more for the former.
The very fact that Britney Spars was allowed to choose her own lawyer is a stage win in the "Causa Spears".
Sequel follows.
