Britney Spears in Beverly Hills, Calif., in 2017. The conservatorship that runs Britney Spears’ affairs has sued a man who runs a Spears-themed blog for defamation.
LOS ANGELES >> The conservatorship that oversees Britney Spears’ personal life and career has sued the creator of a blog devoted to the pop superstar.
The lawsuit filed today in Los Angeles alleges that Anthony Elia, who runs the website Absolute Britney, has falsely claimed the court-ordered conservatorship has been manipulating her Instagram account to make her appear more troubled than she actually is.
The blog and its social media accounts have played a key role in the so-called “Free Britney” movement, a group of fans who say she is being controlled against her will by her father Jaime, who serves as her conservator.
