I think that’s what has me head shaking at this. Up until that point, I was like “yeah okay this all sounds very reasonable” and then went WAIT why does he want a percentage of profits that doesn’t sound normal in conservatorships?

That could be a possibility, but if she is indeed that severely mentally ill, she shouldn’t be performing a show in vegas every week. Either way there’s definitely some shady shit going on.
Her performance profits that she doesn’t need. She could live quietly off the money she’s already earned for the rest of her life but then her parents might have to get a real job for once in their miserable lives.
I’ve seen some of the clothes she wears. She is definitely making some of her own choices.
Or maybe she’s so mentally and emotional ally incompetent that she needs both a physical and financial conservator and her father is taking advantage of her. I don’t begrudge the salary or the free rent, but taking a 1.5 percent cut out of her 20 million earnings sounds slimy. I’m pretty sure she’s a generous daughter…
What’s unreasonable is giving people who have made money off of her since she was a child, power over her adult life.
I was weirded out by her fiance becoming one of her conservators. It was wrong on so many levels. How can you get married with that kind of power imbalance, especially when she was the one making the money and he was the one (in part) controlling it?
It’s the 1.5 percent on her concerts and merchandising that makes me question this. Honestly, she probably need a this because, it’s still going on, there must be reasons, the salary sounds fair, his rent and office is paid for, what does he need the percentage besides greed?
Don’t forget that percentage of her performance profits gross.
Yeah, it just feels that there is a lack of independence for her heart and for love, which feels, odd. The idea of passing conservatorship from father to husband is severely troubling, especially when that person will have done nothing to have earned any of the money he is now in charge of.
There’s been so much exploitation of child stars and their money, and so many gruesomely shitty parents, that I give this the side eye too.
I’d be more for a trust or something that nobody can access until age 21, 25, or whatever. Conservatorship hands over way too much power and may make a person growing up and earning money feel helpless to make any financial decisions, since a conservator takes all that power out of their hands.
Interesting. As a legal precedent this seems like a bad thing? But on a personal basis, for her, it seems to work. Tricky scenario. As a person with mental health issues and autism, I can understand how attractive it must be to have someone control everything for you. But it’s a bit creepy to think that a family…
There are a myriad of underlying, PRIVATE issues that would justify a conservatorship. Really nobody else's business, especially since the parties to whom it actually concerns aren't complaining. Fuck these weasel lawyers and their speculative expose. BTW, why would anyone be "afraid" of Britney? She stopped…
It mentions that her boyfriend had shared the responsibility at some point so I would imagine they would shift to accommodate if she wanted to marry. The idea of passing conservatorship from father to husband does give me the heebie jeebies.
Felicia Culotta, V.I.P. coordinator for Britney Spears meet-and-greets, told an elite group of Britney fans at a concert last year. “If you go in scared of her, she is going to be scared of you. So don’t be scared of her. She’s very normal.”
I guess the important questions is: How do we get one of these for Kanye and can they control his Twitter account?
So, they make money from controlling her life, so they will never stop controlling her life.
It’s just a bee, class.
