They take the kid and bring a gurney and strap her down. She was just looking at me, staring at me. Paparazzi surrounded the ambulance and followed it to Cedars-Sinai hospital. It was widely assumed that Spears had endangered her children, but those who were around them disagree.
I was there, and I know all she wanted was to have her kids at least another night. After the , Jamie and Lou Taylor consulted lawyers about establishing a conservatorship for Spears. According to Lutfi, Spears had passed regular drug tests for much of the prior year, but she had begun taking Adderall when he was away for the holidays. On January 28th, she and Lutfi had an argument. Butcher, who had become friends with Lynne through the entertainment industry, spent nearly a decade in close proximity to the family before, during, and after the creation of the conservatorship.
She was in the living room, on a chair, and I just pulled up a chair and held her hand. But, unbeknownst to Butcher, Jamie was following behind them. She seemed odd and hyper—she was talking in a baby voice, standing up and sitting down, compulsively combing her hair, repeatedly changing her clothes and those of her dog.
Lynne, Ghalib, and Lutfi exchanged bitter recriminations, accusing one another of being a poor influence on Spears. Finally, Spears shouted at them to shut up. Butcher, Lynne, Lutfi, and Spears were at the house when the police banged on the doors and then marched in. At one point, Butcher said, she moved to comfort Spears, and a first responder shouted at her to freeze and keep her distance.
Spears was loaded into an ambulance, alone, and taken to U. Medical Center, flanked by a police convoy the length of a football field. It was after midnight. Butcher, accompanied by Lynne and Ghalib, followed the ambulance to the hospital. Some time later, they found out that Lutfi had arrived and was in the room with Spears.
Jamie became irate. Wyle said she would write up a report and submit it to the court. In retrospect, Butcher feels that she was exploited.
From that moment, the proceedings moved with remarkable speed. The next morning, with Spears still at the hospital, Jamie, Lynne, and Butcher went to a small courtroom in downtown Los Angeles.
Butcher had been told that she would be required to give more testimony and answer questions. No questions were asked. Now she is haunted by the event.
She never had a chance. Ingham remains in the role; Spears covers his annual salary of five hundred and twenty thousand dollars. Jamie became a co-conservator, sharing duties with a lawyer named Andrew Wallet, who was appointed by the court. On the petition to establish the arrangement, Jamie or someone working with him checked a box indicating that Spears had dementia. Jamie also filed a restraining order against Lutfi on behalf of his daughter.
But such allegations became central to the establishment of the conservatorship. Butcher recalled Lynne replying that the conservatorship would last only a few months, and that it would be best for Spears to resent Jamie, rather than her, when it was all over. Lynne, as Butcher remembered it, grew quiet. The third, James Spar, provided it.
From the earliest days of the conservatorship, Spears appeared to chafe against her constraints. While hospitalized, she had contacted a lawyer named Adam Streisand. But the judge, based on a report from Ingham and testimony from Spar, ruled that Spears had no capacity to retain an attorney. Spears spoke with another lawyer, Jon Eardley, who attempted to move the case to federal court.
Eardley to file the Notice of Removal on her behalf, and therefore could not have hired him. Several sources close to the situation felt that Ingham was loyal to the conservatorship and to Jamie, despite nominally representing Spears.
Ingham did not respond to repeated requests for comment for this story. In another document, he stated that, the last time Spears attempted to call him, her phone was taken away from her, and that the number was disconnected the next day. According to Jonathan Martinis, the senior director for law and policy at a center for disability rights at Syracuse University, one of the most dangerous aspects of guardianships is the way that they prevent people from getting their own legal counsel.
Butcher, Lynne, and Spears were on the floor, Spears on her knees; Jamie was sitting at a desk. A flat-screen TV was playing nearby. In the following weeks, Jamie wore Spears down. Spears behaved, and regained limited access to her children.
But Jamie got rid of anyone his daughter had been close to. The housekeeper who worked for Spears during the custody dispute remembers being let go at this time. When Spears called the housekeeper a few days later, asking her to come back, the two of them cried on the phone together. She appears clear and composed, struggling to maintain a sort of thwarted optimism.
In behind-the-scenes footage of workdays and rehearsals, she gets visibly tense whenever Jamie is in the room. I had let certain people into my life that were just bad people. But I just feel like you do something wrong, and you learn from it, you move on. Britney was always at the bottom of the mountain, surrounded by security guards, all this chaos. I want to have a husband. I want to have more kids. It was made permanent in October, Over the holidays, Spears and Gallery were smoking cigarettes outside a dinner party when Spears gave him a handwritten letter on lined paper, which told her story in the third person, and asked him if he could read it on TV.
She had been asking Gallery to help her find another lawyer. Gallery read a copy of the letter on TikTok last year. He said that the manager refused, telling him that any such document would serve as proof that Spears was of sound mind. I was dressed to go out that night, so I took my fedora off and hid it. A bodyguard was watching her while she worked out, and then she went to the locker room, and I followed her, and the bodyguard was standing outside.
Then I saw her go to the steam room, and I threw a towel over my shoulder and followed her in. Soon afterward, a housekeeper overheard Spears talking on the contraband phone and alerted Jamie, who ordered the housekeeper to confiscate it. She was super sweet.

It's amazing to think that this entire oasis, with its beautiful and thoughtful greenery, is now a place we can call ours. It opens each morning at 6am and doesn't close until 1am each night. To keep social distancing possible, the park is requiring that people reserve free, timed tickets on its website first.
Looking for some new spots in the city to explore as the five boroughs continue to reopen? The lush space pays homage to San Francisco Chinatown nightlife in the s and one woman in particular who was at the heart of it: Miss Coby Yee, the glamorous dancer and owner of the iconic club Forbidden City. The space certainly does have a sense of mystique to it with black velvet banquettes and red, silk-shaded lighting. When the space opens on April 22, you can swing by for craft cocktails and small plates.
Live musical performances and other forms of live entertainment are planned for the near future once current restrictions relax. Like something out of a s horror film, six giant red tentacles are reaching into the sky above the Coney Island boardwalk. Luckily for us, it's part of a massive poster advertising the New York Aquarium 's new "Spineless" exhibit about the world of invertebrates including octopuses, squid, sea anemones, jellyfish, and other sea animals that lack backbones.
The huge poster stretches across a portion of the aquarium's education building and features a massive octopus with eight tentacles with the upper half of six of them continuing into the air as inflatable arms. This new stint will last two years, and while the Brutalist building by Marcel Breuer is a huge departure from the Gilded Age mansion, the space is offering a much different and rare look at the collection, according to museum officials.
Unlike at the Frick Mansion, the Breuer building is a clean slate—stark in contrast, which actually helps to attract the viewer's attention to individual works.
Eyes aren't busy looking at ornate furniture here. It's all about seeing the smaller details in the artwork that you might have overlooked at the mansion. Fall in NYC is everything you could hope for in a season. First, the city gets delightfully spooky for Halloween.
