Britney Spears’ father agrees to step down as conservator

James Spears agreed Thursday to be removed as his daughter’s conservator, according to Britney Spears’ lawyer.

“We are pleased that Mr. Spears and his lawyer have today conceded in a filing that he must be removed. It is vindication for Britney. We are disappointed, however, by their ongoing shameful and reprehensible attacks on Ms. Spears and others,” said Mathew Rosengart, the singer’s lawyer, in a statement.
