Britney Spears‘ attorney Mathew Rosengart has accused the singer’s former business manager Lou Taylor of lying about not being involved in the star’s former conservatorship arrangement.
The critical issue is whether or not Lou’s company (Tristar) had a hand in ensuring that Britney’s father Jamie Spears carried out his role as a conservator. This was allegedly on the basis that Jamie borrowed $40,000 dollars from the company, and then the company had gotten a part of Britney’s business.
And as such, the company is alleged to have apparently made $18 million during the course of the conservatorship.
The legal documents obtained by TMZ confirmed the following: “Tri Star Entertainment — which he says snagged more than $18 million from the 13-year run of the conservatorship — has lied to the judge by claiming it had no involvement.”
If these comments are taken to be true, then they are very significant for the following reasons. First of all, it shows Britney’s willingness to go after everybody that had played a part in ensuring that her conservatorship stayed in place. Secondly, it also indicates that there could be further legal action down the line.
Although this may allow Britney to hold everybody accountable, the last thing that the singer needs is to be drawn into another court battle, especially since she has now gotten married and settled down with Sam Asghari.
And yet, that is precisely what could happen given that Lou denied doing anything of the sort. Scott Edelman, who happens to be an attorney representing Tristar, had this to say: “This is materially misleading.
“AS all the evidence makes abundantly clear, the conservatorship was set up on the recommendation of legal counsel, not Tri Star, and approved by the Court for more than 12 years.”
Time will tell how this will play out, but given everything we have seen so far, there is plenty more to this story than meets the eye. So there you have it folks.
