Britney Spears Makes Shocking Claims About Her Dad as She Sends Cease-and-Desist to Jamie Lynn
Britney Spears is hitting back at her dad Jamie and her sister Jamie Lynn!
The pop star’s lawyer Mathew Rosengart has filed legal docs, obtained by “Extra,” claiming her father and his legal team drained her accounts of $36 million over the course of the conservatorship.
The docs state that Jamie "engaged in self-dealing, financial and business mismanagement... engaged in abusive and bullying conduct toward his daughter, deprived his daughter of fundamental civil liberties..."
The papers say that Jamie was paid $6 million, in spite of his "chronic alcohol abuse impairing his ability to serve faithfully." He is also accused of using some of the funds to pitch a reality show called “Cookin’ Cruzin’ and Chaos with Jamie Spears.”
Meanwhile, the legal team reportedly made $30 million.
Jamie has claimed all the payments were court-approved.

According to CNN, Rosengart wrote, in part, "She takes you at your word and we, therefore, demand that you cease and desist from referencing Britney derogatorily during your promotional campaign. If you fail to do so or defame her, Britney will be forced to consider and take all appropriate legal action."
