A bombshell new claim was dropped in a series of recently-filed court documents by Britney Spears' lawyer.
In documents filed on Friday, Britney Spears' attorney wants her father to admit that he had a romantic relationship with her former business manager.
Insider contacted lawyers for Jamie Spears, Britney Spears, and Tri Star. Lou Taylor did not reply immediately.
In more than 250 pages of court documents filed ahead of a Wednesday hearing in the ongoing fight, Spears' father, Jamie, claims that he failed to best serve his daughter's personal and financial interests as the guardian of her estate.
Hearings in the case continue months after the conservatorship ends as stakeholders iron out final financial decisions, including whether or not Britney will have to continue paying her father's legal fees.
Jamie's demand for continued financial assistance is being tried to foil by the filing of allegations that he, along with others involved in the conservatorship, committed multiple, serious financial and personal wrongdoings over the years.
According to the court papers, Jamie had a romantic relationship with Lou Taylor, who was Britney Spears' business manager.
Request for admission no. The lawyer writes that the Conservator of the Estate had a romantic relationship with Lou Taylor.
According to the documents, Jamie Spears installed Taylor, his personal friend and CEO of Tri Star Sports and Entertainment Group, as his daughter's manager at the start of the conservatorship, while already financially indebted to Taylor, having received a $40,000 loan from Tri Star.
In 2008, with no apparent source of steady income, no job skills, having already filed for bankruptcy once, and indebted to a business management company called Tri Star Sports & Entertainment for at least $40,000 against a loan Tri Star provided to him, Mr. Spears consulted with Tri.

Jamie granted requests by Tri Star's for pay increases after Britney went on professional hiatus, guaranteeing the company a minimum of $500,000 in 2019. According to the documents, the arrangement was made by Jamie without any apparent legal obligation to do so.
According to legal records, Jamie used funds from Britney's estate to support Taylor's attempt to take legal action against a #FreeBritney supporter.
Taylor quit her role with Spears' team in November of 2020 due to death threats.
In Tuesday's court filing, Britney's attorneys leveled 75 accusations of mismanagement against Jamie, demanding that he respond in writing to each one. Jamie was accused of taking an overseas trip to be with Taylor and charging his daughter's estate for the trip, as well as seeking Jamie's acknowledgment of his alleged romantic relationship with Taylor.
Britney's legal team wants all documents relating to Jamie and any representative of Tri Star, including Taylor, as well as all correspondence, whether by text or on paper, relating to his personal relationship with Taylor.
