A court has denied a request from Britney Spears to remove her father, Jamie Spears, as a conservator of her estate, according to a report from TMZ.
The decision came just a week after Britney gave an emotional public testimony begging the court to remove her father’s control.
Britney told the court her father “should be in jail” for how he’s treated her throughout the 13-year conservatorship, alleging he would not allow her to remove a birth control device to prevent her from having more children.
"I truly believe this conservatorship is abusive," said Spears in court.
An attorney for Ms. Spears, Sam Ingham III, formally asked the court to remove Jamie as conservator in November and recently requested to name the Bessemer Trust as a co-conservator.
The judge granted the request to add a co-conservator but denied the request to completely remove her father, citing the need for a transition period.
