Jamie Spears Paid Security Firm to Track Daughter, Ex-Wife: Court Docs

• Britney Spears’ legal team accused her father of paying a security firm from the singer’s estate to monitor her.
• Jamie Spears once asked the firm to mirror Britney’s iCloud account to allow him to see her communications in real-time, per the documents.
• The claim was among a slew of accusations in court docs filed by Britney Spears’ attorney last Friday.

Jamie Spears paid a security firm $6 million from Britney Spears’ estate to electronically monitor his daughter and his ex-wife, Britney Spears’ attorney claimed in new court documents.

Mathew Rosengart, Britney Spears’ attorney, filed the new documents ahead of a hearing on Wednesday in the singer’s ongoing legal battle in connection to her recently terminated conservatorship. The current court battle is over payments from her estate, including Jamie Spears asking the court to have his daughter cover his legal fees before the conservatorship was terminated.

Between 2008 and 2021, Spears was under a legal arrangement that granted control of her personal life and estate to a group of individuals including her father. On September 7, Jamie Spears filed a petition to end Britney Spears’ conservatorship, which the pop star’s legal team labeled as a “massive” legal victory. The conservatorship was officially terminated on November 12.

On Tuesday, The New York Times first reported that Jamie Spears paid security firm Black Box to obtain private phone records and collect GPS “ping data” from Britney Spears and her mother Lynne.

Attorneys for Jamie Spears did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment on the allegations made in the court documents.

During the Wednesday hearing, Jamie Spears’ lawyers responded to the filing by Rosengart, denying the claims made in the document. 

According to the court documents filed by Rosengart, Alex Vlasov, a former employee of Black Box, confirmed to ex-FBI Special Agent Sherine Ebadi that the security firm treated Britney Spears as its client and her father was the person giving direction.

Black Box was already monitoring phones used by the singer when Vlasov began working at the company in 2012, and the firm “cycled through several different technologies, including various monitoring software, to accomplish the secret surveillance” of Britney Spears, according to court documents and a sworn declaration by Ebadi included in the filings by Rosengart.
