Before Britney approved the singer’s new lawyer, Judge Petunia asked her to speak

At the hearing on Wednesday, Judge Petunia said: “I want to talk to Britney first.

“There is a man named Matthew Rosengart in the audience who wants to represent you.

“Ms. Spears, do you know this person?”

Britney replied, “Yes, ma’am. I want him to represent me.”

Matthew said: “Yes, I’m here to represent Ms. Spears.

“My company has a very large trust and estate department.

“For this case, I will not only bring my legal expertise, but also my team of lawyers to handle this case.

“My company is blooming everywhere.”

Judge Penney said: “I will accept Bessemer’s resignation. Your petition has been approved and Bessemer will no longer be involved.”

The Bessemer Trust was initially hired to manage the singer’s estate, but resigned during the lawsuit.
