Britney Spears’ longtime manager Larry Rudolph has resigned amid the singer’s conservatorship case, claiming she intended to retire.
Spears has previously said she would not perform until her father Jamie, who acts as her conservator, was no longer in control of her career.
But Rudolph has now told Deadline: “It has been over two and a half years since Britney and I last communicated. Earlier today, I became aware that Britney had been voicing her intention to officially retire.
“I have never been a part of the conservatorship nor its operations, so I am not privy to many of these details. I was originally hired at Britney’s request to help manage and assist her with her career. And as her manager, I believe it is in Britney’s best interest for me to resign from her team.”
