During another court hearing, a judge granted Britney permission to hire her own lawyer following Ingham III's exit. The singer's new lawyer was Mathew Rosengart, who's previously represented stars like Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Keanu Reeves.
"Pursuant to my statement in open court on June 23, 2021, my rights, and my desire to end the above-referenced conservatorship as to my father, Jamie P. Spears, it is my desire to choose and retain my own counsel, at Greenberg, Traurig, LLP as set forth above," Britney stated in legal documents, per Variety.
In her testimony, Britney also accused her father of abusing his power as her conservator. "I'm here to get rid of my dad and charge him with conservatorship abuse," she told the court. "This conservatorship has allowed my dad to ruin my life."
Following the hearing, Britney celebrated her new conservatorship lawyer by posting a video of herself horseback riding and doing cartwheels on Instagram. "Coming along, folks ... coming along 🖕🏻!!!!!" she captioned it. "New with real representation today ... I feel GRATITUDE and BLESSED !!!! Thank you to my fans who are supporting me ... You have no idea what it means to me be supported by such awesome fans !!!! God bless you all !!!!!" Her then-boyfriend (now soon-to-be ex-husband), Sam Asghari, expressed similar sentiments when he responded in the comments, writing, "Internet is about to explode #freebritney."
