E! News reached out to her rep for comment as well and did not hear back.
The Grammy winner hasn’t publicly commented on the alleged incident. On Aug. 19, she posted a photo on Instagram that showed a Hans Zatzka painting of a woman with her back pressed against a door. She captioned the post, “She obviously wants privacy,” with shrugging emojis. Spears later posted a photo of a girl flipping the bird and wrote, “I feel like she’s made her point perfectly clear.”
She also shared a Sophia Loren quote about a “fountain of youth,” alongside a topless photo of herself. Earlier in the day, Spears posted a public awareness message about the coronavirus pandemic to encourage fans to #StayHome.
Spears is in the midst of an ongoing legal battle to end her conservatorship of 13 years. Last week, her father, Jamie Spears, said he is “willing” to step down as conservator of her estate when the time is right. Per his lawyer’s Aug. 12 court filing, he maintains that the petition for his removal is “unjust” but said “he does not believe that a public battle with his daughter over his continuing service as her conservator would be in her best interests.”
She has said her conservatorship is “abusive” and controlling, and her dad asked the court to investigate her claims.
His lawyer wrote last week that the legal arrangement was instated in 2008 because she was in “crisis,” saying, “Not only was she suffering mentally and emotionally, she was also being manipulated by predators and in financial distress. Mr. Spears came to his daughter’s rescue to protect her.” It went on, “Mr. Spears has always done what he believes was in his daughter’s best interests.”
