Despite Britney Spears' bombshell testimony last week, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge denied a request from the singer's lawyer, Samuel D. Ingham III, to have Jamie Spears dropped as his daughter''s co-conservator.
As per E! News, Jamie was named the conservator of Britney's estate and person in 2008, when the singer suffered a very public breakdown. The wealth-management firm Bessemer Trust Company joined Jamie last year as co-conservator of the estate.
"The conservator's request to suspend James P. Spears immediately upon the appointment of Bessemer Trust Company of California, N.A. as sole conservator of estate is denied without prejudice," the document read.
This ruling follows Britney's impassioned public testimony at the virtual court hearing about her conservatorship on June 23. During her hearing, the 39-year-old singer was highly critical of her father and alleged that he "loved the control to hurt his own daughter."
At the time, Jamie's attorney issued a statement that read, "Mr Spears is sorry to see his daughter suffering and in so much pain. Mr Spears loves his daughter and misses her very much."
On Tuesday, Jamie filed a petition that has been obtained by E! News and called for an investigation into Britney's allegations of mistreatment against her conservatorship. In the document, Jamie also noted that he has not managed his daughter's personal or medical affairs for the past two years.
