The same day Jamie Lynn Spears was due to receive a scathing cease-and-desist letter from Britney Spears’ lawyer via overnight mail, she sat for a follow-up interview with the Call Her DaddyPodcast, while continuing to promote her book. Things I Should Not Have Said.
Appearing over video from her home in Louisiana on Tuesday, Britney’s younger sister doubled down on her claims that she repeatedly tried to help the “Toxic” singer escape her controversial conservatorship. She shared her story by holding up a cellphone.Text message to her sisterIt will be called back in November 2020 “proof” she was acting in her sister’s bests interests. She seemed convinced that the text would vindicate her.
The effort was mostly futile.
Not only is the Zoey 101Star was even more rebuffed by the #FreeBritney movement after reading the text aloud. Daddy host Alexandra Cooper, but checking it against a transcript of what actually happened at a court hearing in Britney’s conservatorship exactly one day earlier on Nov. 10, 2020, raises questions.
The text is provided by screenshots to the Daddy podcast, Jamie Lynn slammed Britney’s former court-appointed lawyer, Samuel D. Ingham III, as well as the siblings’ mom Lynne Spears. She painted Jamie’s dad Jamie in a sympathetic light, claiming that he wanted it actively. “to resign” from his role as conservator of Britney’s $60 million estate and was somehow being held back. Britney urged Jamie to contact her directly.
“If you’re willing to speak with him and start the actual legal process of getting what you want, then dad is on board with that as well,” Jamie Lynn wrote.
While Jamie Lynn’s text portray Jamie as willing to step aside, the transcript of the Nov. 10, 2020, hearing tells a different story. At that hearing — which both Jamie Spears and Lynne Spears attended by phone with their lawyers — Ingham dropped what was then considered a bombshell request to have Jamie suspended on the spot. “My client has informed me on many occasions that she is afraid of her father,”Ingham asked Judge Brenda Penny for a suspension of Jamie’s rights on her own motion, without needing to have an evidentiary hearing. “She also informed me on many occasions that she will not perform as long as her father is in charge of her career. And she also has informed me that she does not want her father to work with [proposed new management firm] Bessemer Trust.”
While Lynne’s lawyer advocated that the court grant Ingham’s request, Jamie’s lawyer, Vivian Thoreen, immediately took an adversarial stance, calling her client a “perfect conservator”et bashing the request “My client, Mr. Spears, has specifically and solely consented to the appointment of Bessemer as a co-conservator,” Thoreen said, attacking Ingham’s characterization of Britney’s wishes as “hearsay.” “I don’t believe there is a shred of evidence to support my client’s suspension,”Jamie listened to her silently, and she replied.
Judge Penny denied Jamie’s request to suspend him that day. However, she said Ingham that she would reconsider her decision if Ingham filed the petition as a petition from his client. He never did. The next hearing in the case was June 23, 2021 when Britney made her powerful statement to Judge Penny. She called the conservatorship “conservatorship”. “cruel” “abusive”She said she wanted to sue her father.
After Jamie Lynn’s appearance on the podcast, #FreeBritney supporters began to grow quickly. Some requested Spotify to cancel DaddyThanks for giving her an opportunity. Many pointed out that Jamie Lynn’s manager is still Lou Taylor, the head of Britney’s former management firm Tri Star and a major villain in the eyes the movement. Cooper’s failure to confront Jamie Lynn regarding her continuing connection to Taylor was also condemned.
According to Britney’s new lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, Tri Star has been less than forthcoming throughout his ongoing forensic review of the conservatorship that was terminated Nov. 12. Meanwhile, a Tri Star executive purportedly was involved in the alleged surveillance campaign that tracked, mirrored, and recorded Britney’s private communications at Jamie’s request, at least according to a security firm whistleblower who first spoke to the New York Times.
