Britney Spears takes her lawyer out to lunch and thanks him for "turning her life around" following the termination of her 13-year conservatorship.
The 40-year old pop star was locked in a conservatorship governed by her family from 2008 until 2021 and took to Instagram to thank her lawyer after he helped her regain control of her multimillion dollar fortune.
Alongside a photo of the pair wearing pink outfits for a lunch date, she wrote: "This man has turned my life around … So many exciting projects ahead.
“We accidentally matched for lunch !!!!
“Thank you for being so kind and respectful to me always!!!!! Pssss Mathew Rosengart … I simply adore you!!!!"(sic)
When the conservatorship was terminated by a Los Angeles court back in November, former federal prosecutor Mathew called it a "monumental day" for the “Stronger” hitmaker.
He said in a statement: "It was a monumental day for Britney Spears. We have a safety net in place for Britney both on the personal side and on the financial side. But Britney, as of today, is a free woman and she’s an independent woman. And the rest, with her support system, will be up to Britney."
Prior to the termination of the conservatorship - which gave Britney's father Jamie extensive control over various aspects of the life -, the singer spoke to an LA court over the phone, branding the arrangement as "abusive."
She said: "I think this conservatorship is abusive. I don’t think I can live a full life. I feel ganged up on, I feel bullied and I feel alone.
"“I want to be able to get married [to fiance Sam Asghari] and have a baby… but I have an IUD in my body right now that won’t let me have a baby and my conservators won’t let me go to the doctor to take it out. “My dad and anyone involved in this conservatorship, including my management… they should be in jail.”
