Britney Spears has slammed her father Jamie for allegedly "taking over $6 million" from her during her 13-year conservatorship.
In November 2021, a judge put an end to the conservatorship that has controlled the singer's personal, professional and financial matters since 2008.
Her father Jamie - who was also her conservator - pointed to her public mental health struggles as justification for the legal guardianship, and what was intended as a temporary arrangement was made permanent by the end of that year.
According to TMZ, the singer's lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, has filed legal documents, which claim that Jamie, 69, "engaged in self-dealing, financial and business mismanagement … engaged in abusive and bullying conduct toward his daughter, deprived his daughter of fundamental civil liberties."
Britney's lawyer also claims the controversial dad did not have a right to the $6 million he earned over the duration of the conservatorship, as the hitmaker hopes the judge from her upcoming hearing will order Jamie to returns the cash.
According to the legal docs, Jamie allegedly used a part of the $6 million to pitch a program titled, Cookin' Cruzin' & Chaos.
Aside from the $6 million, Mathew claims more cash was spent on lawyers for the conservatorship fees that were said to have amassed $30 million.
The January 19 hearing will focus on finances as Jamie allegedly wants his eldest daughter to cover his lawyer fees.
It read: "He reportedly received 1.5% of the gross revenues generated by Ms. Spears’s performances and merchandise sales associated with her highly-successful multi-year Las Vegas residency.
"These gross revenues for box office alone were approximately $137.7 million, plus merchandise sales.
"Mr. Spears cut from that residency is estimated to be at least $2.1 million. He also received a 2.95% commission on Ms. Spears’s gross revenues on her 2011 Femme Fatale tour, which yielded him an estimated $500,000."
In the first hearing in June 2021, in which the 'Gimme More' chart-topper appeared virtually, Britney referred to the conservatorship as "abusive".
She told the judge she had been prohibited from getting married and having a baby and was not permitted to remove her IUD.
Britney even said that her father and "anyone involved in this conservatorship" should be incarcerated. She also claimed that she was "forced to take Lithium" as a "punishment".
In another court appearance in July, Britney told the judge that she has "always been scared" of her dad's drinking.
