hey decided things were too toxic.
The wealth management company scheduled to enter Britney Spears’ conservatorship as a co-conservator of her estate is asking to be removed.
Bessemer Trust was supposed to work with Britney’s father Jamie Spears to manage her estimated $60 million, but decided to bail because of the drama surrounding the conservatorship, TMZ reported.
Bessemer filed court documents Thursday asking to resign as co-conservator before ever starting, according to Variety.
The firm, which claims to manage more than $100 billion, had issues with Jamie Spears and Britney’s court-appointed attorney, Samuel Ingham, TMZ reported. The company also incorrectly believed Britney willingly agreed to the conservatorship.
The “Piece of Me” singer, 39, made it abundantly clear last week that she wants to end the structure where most of her life is controlled by others.
“I’m not happy, I can’t sleep. I’m so angry it’s insane. And I’m depressed. I cry every day,” she told the court on June 23. “It is my wish and my dream for all of this to end.”
With Bessemer pulling out, Jamie Spears would continue as sole conservator of Britney’s estate, while professional conservator Jodi Montgomery would remain in charge of Britney’s day-to-day life.
