- Story Text: A Los Angeles judge on Wednesday (September 29) suspended the father of Britney Spears from his 13-year role as the controller of the singer's business affairs.
#FreeBritney fans gathered outside the court in Los Angeles erupted in cheers as the judge's ruling was conveyed.
"The current situation is not tenable. It reflects a toxic environment which requires the suspension of Jamie Spears effective today," Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny said during a court hearing.
Spears will be replaced with an accountant on a temporary basis, Penny said.
The hearing was continuing on Wednesday and Penny had not made any decision on whether to terminate entirely the conservatorship that also controls the singer's personal life.
