Case Closed: Britney Spears and Estranged Dad Jamie Settle Lengthy Court Battle
April 26 2024, Published 7:36 p.m. ET
Britney Spears has finally ended her legal battle with her estranged father Jamie Spears after she accused him of mishandling her estate throughout her 13-year conservatorship, RadarOnline.com has learned.
The role of Jamie Spears will reportedly be a 'major villain' in the biopic.
Only two months ago, Jamie accused Britney of attempting to stall their trial —which had been scheduled for May 2024 — and made it clear they had not settled the case.
However, it's now been reported that the 42-year-old eventually recently settled.
Britney's powerhouse lawyer Mathew Rosengart told us, "It has been our honor and privilege to represent, protect, and defend Britney Spears. Although the conservatorship was terminated in November 2021, her wish for freedom is now truly complete. As she desired, her freedom now includes that she will no longer need to attend or be involved with court or entangled with legal proceedings in this matter."
He added, "Britney Spears won when the court suspended her father, and Britney Spears won when her fundamental rights and civil liberties were restored. Since obtaining her freedom in late 2021, Britney Spears has achieved remarkable success on several fronts, including her August, 2022 collaboration with Sir Elton John on the smash hit Hold Me Closer (which debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart and became her 24th top-ten single), followed by her landmark book deal with Simon & Schuster for her memoir The Woman in Me, an immediate NY Times #1 bestseller, which received universal, breathtaking praise and would not have been possible during the conservatorship."
Rosengart ended, "We repeat our gratification for being in a position to help restore the civil rights and liberties of Britney Spears and the honor and privilege it has been to serve and protect Ms. Spears and obtain her goals in resolving various legal matters pursuant to her thoughtful and wise instruction and requests, which once again are to her credit."
Britney Spears is expected to pay around $2 million in legal expenses for her father.
The surprising settlement comes months after Britney's attorney claimed Jamie "is not entitled to and never will receive another dollar of his daughter’s money."
He further stated that "Mr. Spears’s abuse of the system, waste, and vindictive attempts to harass his daughter" was both "contrary to law" and contrary to "fundamental decency."

As we previously reported, Jamie lost his limb inches above his knee after suffering a "terrible infection" from a knee replacement surgery that he'd had back in the mid-2000s. The infection left him hospitalized for weeks and the amputation reportedly came as a "last resort" from medical staff in an attempt to save his life.
Several weeks after the life-changing procedure, he was spotted holding onto the door of a vehicle for support as he moved himself from the car into a wheelchair outside of a warehouse in Kentwood, La., in December 2023.
