The attorney for Britney Spears is accusing her father Jamie Spears of hiding from a deposition.
“Despite his demonstrably false claims that he has ‘nothing to hide’ and would therefore ‘hide nothing,’ James P. Spears has been running and hiding from his deposition and accounting for his misconduct — under oath — as required by law,” Mathew Rosengart wrote in documents to the court, Page Six reports.
Jamie has to answer for aspects of Britney’s conservatorship and has been accused of misappropriating the star’s funds.
“Indeed, while representing that he would ‘unconditionally cooperate’ and act with ‘complete transparency without conditions,’ Mr. Spears has engaged in stonewalling and obstruction — for over six months — dodging his deposition and repeatedly failing to respond to simple requests for basic information.”
Britney’s conservatorship came to an end in November. Her father had agreed to ending the conservatorship after public outcry and many years of battling from Britney.
“Since childhood and certainly over the past decade, Britney Spears has been forced to live under her father’s thumb, even as she gave him an identity and supported him financially; yet he has never been required to answer for his conduct, including his gross, self-interested misuse of his fiduciary position,” Rosengart said.
