The news that Britney Spears’ father is ready to step down as conservator of her estate was met with joy and cautious optimism on social media by the singer’s supporters.
In a court file obtained by NewsMadura, Jamie Spears defended his actions as a conservator but said he is willing to assist in an orderly transition to a new conservator after resolving some outstanding issues in the case. He has legally supervised his daughter’s life and an estate valued at $60 million for the past 13 years.
Paris Hilton, a friend of Britney Spears, tweeted on Thursday that she was “so happy to hear this news”.
“It’s been so long, but I’m so glad Britney is on her way to finally be free,” Hilton tweeted. “Sending so much love!”
Singer Cher also shared her thoughts.
“If I were British, I’d get a forensic accountant,” Cher tweeted. “I could not [be] happier for her if I were twins.”
Spears, who began her musical career as a teen pop sensation in the late 1990s, didn’t directly comment on the lawsuit on her verified Instagram account, but people used her posting of artwork of a girl with flowers in her hair to share their thoughts.
“We are one step closer to your freedom!!!!!” wrote makeup artist and entrepreneur Angel Merino in the comments.
