It seems things are getting serious for Britney Spears’ team, now that her longtime manager Larry Rudolph and her lawyer Sam Ingham have resigned amid the controversy surrounding the singer’s conservatorship.
Rudolph released a letter of resignation, originally sent to the singer’s co-conservators, Britney’s father Jamie Spears and attorney Jodi Montgomery, explaining his decision to leave, after working as her manager for most of Britney’s career in the entertainment industry.
He also wanted to make sure the public knows he has never been a part of the conservatorship “nor its operations,” so he was not aware of many of the declarations made by Britney during her hearing.

His decision comes after being informed that the iconic artist voiced her intention to officially retire.

Britney’s former manager took a moment to wish her “all the health and happiness in the world,” declaring that he will be there for her if she ever needs him again, “just as I always have been.”
