Britney Spears' longtime manager resigns amidst conservatorship controversy

Larry Rudolph, the former entertainment lawyer who began helping Britney Spears navigate her career in 1995 as her manager, has resigned as controversy swirls over her restrictive conservatorship.

In a letter, Rudolph wrote: "It has been over 2½ years since Britney and I last communicated, at which time she informed me she wanted to take an indefinite work hiatus. Earlier today, I became aware that Britney had been voicing her intention to officially retire."

The news comes days after the Bessemer Trust resigned as co-conservator of the superstar's $60 million estate, claiming to have been under the impression that the conservatorship was voluntary until hearing Spears' explosive June 23 court testimony.

People are really trying to claim this hostage situation was voluntary and trying to act surprised. Gross

He's trying to get out now before shit hits the fan smh.

The shit already hit the fan, he forced his client to work against her will and now everybody knows it.

Fuck you dude. It's been clear that anyone who tried to help Britney have long since been pushed out.

"Earlier today, I became aware that Britney had been voicing her intention to officially retire."

Hmm interesting cause I don't remember her saying anything about retiring. Stepping back and wanting her life back, yes.

I also saw tweets about Kim allegedly offering Britney legal support but some people mentioned that Kim may be connected to people on the conservatorship.

Legal help! She don't know the law!! How is she gonna help? By sending her some Olympic Skims?

Kim’s gonna be the new Ja Rule when it comes to legal issues. “WHERE IS KIM?? SOMEONE FIND KIM SO I CAN MAKE SENSE OF ALL OF THIS!” Sir, Kim is busy studying for her baby bar again

For fucking real, who does Kim think she's kidding? She's already failed the baby bar TWICE.

Britney would be better off seeking legal advice in a parking lot from RHOA's Phaedra Parks.

I mean... I'm sure her long-time manager would be privy to more information than you.

All these garbage people are such parasites. I hope she gets her freedom.

so he's been managing her career since she was 14, 15? and yet he's gonna claim he had no idea what was happening with her. come on, dude, it's been 26 years. ain't no way you didn't know what was up.

Can anyone find the comments Miley made a few years ago, after recording "SMS Bangerz"? She said something about sharing the same management and knowing that Britney was forced to do her work.
This was years ago, before she said #FreeBritney at her 2019 performance.

He hasnt spoken to her in 2 1/2 years?

Thanks to the c-ship, Britney the person and Britney the business are two separate things. I’m sure he talks to Jamie regularly about the money. That’s all any of these people care about.

But you know he's been cashing checks all along.

You haven’t communicated with your client in almost 3 years? You’re outing yourself loser

Is her family saying her current bf is a gold digger? bc like didnt they set her up with someone who was on the payroll?

i think right now they're trying to imply that he's antagonizing her unrest with the conservatorship

They did not set her up with sam! They met at her music video shoot.

I meant her other bf not sam, I forgot his name. Jason I think..

Like rats jumping ship

I read a tik tok comment that had a theory that Britney isn’t Jamie’s biological child and that Lynn had an affair. Jaimie knows this and it is part of the reason he treats her so poorly/abuses her and seemingly doesn’t treat Jamie Lynn the same or as poorly. Bryan and Jaime Lynn look the same and just like their father. Ugly beady eyes and all. Britney looks only like her mom and just looks way better. Obviously probably not true but just interesting to think about.

That seems nuts. Britney and her sis look a lot alike. Jamie just treats her poorly because she’s a money machine and he’s a bad person. IMO.

Why does it seems nuts

Girl im fucked up stoned and even this seems bat shit crazy. Dont read everything on tiktok my love.

Oh pleeaaseee.

I don't think so cause Britney and Jamie Lynn look exactly alike. Jamie Lynn even I think had a nose job and even that came out looking similar to Britney.

Really, this is what it's come to, yeah, we all want Britney to be free, and this whole thing is terrible, but this is batshit crazy, please don't

Seems like a crackpot tik tok theory. Jaime Lynn has always looked like Britney's mini-me, like they look nearly identical in the eye area especially.

I'd say it's just that there's no gold to be dug with the other siblings & he can't take advantage.

rissa_delovely Expand

she - for better or worse - has his nose. as well as other similarities that make this too unbelievable.

he's just a plain old pos.

Ya’ll just be saying shit just to say it. As if her situation isn’t fucked up enough as it is.

He's money and power hungry just like the millions of abusive stage parents before him.

as if men couldn't or wouldn't use and abuse their bio children lol

I highly doubt this because Jamie was the one with the history of affairs and Lynne attempted to divorce him 2 years before Brit was born bc he cheated on Lynne on Xmas day

but she withdrew it and never officially filed?

(this was in the new Yorker article recently)

so if anyone was cheating it was Jamie, Lynne seems like a woman who tried to keep it together for the kids but once they were all grown she got the fuck out

the truth of the situation is already bad, lets not entertain and spread pure fantasy.

looneyboy83 Expand

lol it just makes so much sense that this is the type of thing you find... interesting.

It's an extremely silly theory that's very poorly informed on abuse dynamics.

It is common for abusive parents to target one child and favour another. It's yet another weapon in the arsenal, pitting the siblings against each other. Besides, people can't assume he hasn't been just as shitty to Bryan and Jamie Lynn in different ways - it's not like he had an excuse to put all 3 of them under conservatorships.
