Britney Spears’ ex-manager was involved in the creation of the singer’s conservatory, says lawyer –

Britney Spears’ attorney claims that the singer’s former business manager, Tri Star Sports and Entertainment, played a “significant role” in creating her 13-year trusteeship and took at least $18 million from her.

in the new file obtained by the hollywood reporterSpears’ legal representative, Matthew Rosengart, claims that Tri Star and its employees, including founders Louise Taylor and Robin Greenhill, who served as the singer’s business management team from 2008 to 2020, were directly involved in promoting the brand.

The company and Greenhill, who was hired by Spears’ father and former guardian Jamie, previously said they had no role in the process.

Contrary to Tri Star’s public stance and Ms. Greenhill on November 4, 2021, in which she stated that “as of early 2008, Tri Star had no role in Ms. Spears’ affairs”, Tri Star internal emails (obtained from third parties) Lou Taylor of Tri Star, was instrumental in Spears’ business prior to the conservatorship and in the early days “early 2008,” the notice reads.

The legal documents refer to a series of emails that Taylor, James and their attorney, Geraldine Wiley, allegedly sent in connection with the establishment of the conservatorship, which took place in February 2008. One of the alleged letters, sent by Taylor in January 17, 2008, states that Andrew Wallet, who was appointed to help manage the singer’s father’s estate, and the Tri star were “acting as partners” with Jamie.

The document also states that Taylor was “a close friend of Mr. Spears, whom Mr. Spears owed $40,000,” and that QuickBooks software provided to investigative consultant Kroll Associates, Inc. over $6 million and $18 million, respectively, from the estate of Ms. Spears.

Kroll was hired by Rosengart to investigate the Tri star’s behavior towards the singer’s conservatism.

“Tri Starr, Lou Taylor and Robin Greenhill have denied that Tri Starr was involved in the creation of the conservatory, no doubt knowing that such involvement, shortly after he made a generous loan to Mr. fees that Tri Star has been paid over the years, but also the reasons behind Ms. Spears for her 13-year guardianship first,” Rosengart wrote in the complaint.

In the declaration delivered the hollywood reporterTri Star attorney Scott Edelman called the allegations “materially misleading”.

“As all the evidence makes clear, the conservatorship was created on the recommendation of the attorney, not Tri Star, and has been court-approved for over 12 years,” Edelman said. “Actually, there wasn’t even a business manager for the Tri Star Conservatory when it was created. “Email-selected excerpts cannot change the facts, so this nonsense will end once and for all when the records are opened.”

Rosengart’s latest filing is in response to Tri Star’s motion to reject Britney’s legal team’s request that Tri Star and Greenhill comply with depositions and documents. In a letter to Edelman dated November 2, 2021, Rosengart demanded that the company provide the total fees it has received from Britney and/or her estate from 2008 to the present. A copy of the business management agreement between Tri Star and Britney or her estate was also requested.

Rosengarth alleges that Tri Star has not provided the requested information for more than 6 weeks since Rosengarth’s September 15 communication, claiming that Tri Star does not have a “fiduciary duty” to provide the requested information.
