Washington, (BIJ News) Britney Spears father, Jamie Spears has been ordered by a court in Los Angeles to sit for a deposition and produce
Britney Spears father, Jamie Spears has been ordered by a court in Los Angeles to sit for a deposition and produce documents related to the alleged surveillance of Britney as part of an ongoing investigation into his role as conservator of her estate.
The conservatorship was terminated in November 2021 after 13 years.
Jamie and his legal team have less than 30 days to present their documents and must be deposed by August 12.
Following the ruling, Jamie's lawyer stated that the patriarch "is eager to testify and set the record straight."
The pop star's lawyer, said in a statement that they appreciated the judge's "thoughtful and correct" ruling.
Jamie's legal team requested that Britney sit for a deposition as well. However, her team pushed back, claiming that it would "re-traumatize" Britney. The judge did not make a final decision on this and said she needed more time to consider both legal teams' arguments, delaying her decision until July 27.
The surveillance allegations stem from "Controlling Britney Spears," a 2021 episode of the docu-series The New York Times Presents, in which a former member of Britney's security team claimed that her father monitored her phone and bugged her bedroom with "an audio recording device" without her knowledge.
