Britney Spears’ father has been removed as the conservator of her estate.
A judge made the ruling on Wednesday, immediately ousting Jamie Spears from the conservatorship.
According to a source, Britney got very emotional over the news. “Britney burst into tears upon hearing the judge’s decision,” an insider told Page Six. “For the longest time, she had begun to think that she would never see the day that her father’s domineering control over every single aspect of her life would end, but it finally happened.”
The source added, “She’s in shock and at a loss for words but literally jumping for joy. She hasn’t felt joy like this in 13 years.”
Accountant John Zabel will take over as conservator of her estate until a decision is made to continue the legal arrangement or dissolve it. Brit’s personal conservator, Jodi Montgomery, who manages her day-to-day wellbeing and medical decisions, will stay put for the time being.
A decision on the fate of the conservatorship itself hasn’t been made yet, the star’s attorney, Mathew Rosengart, said should be terminated this fall.
