The reason stated is that over the years there have been major changes in her lifestyle and as per her wishes. It also proposes that Jodi Montgomery should permanently handle her affairs.

Britney fans oppose her life control
In April last year, Britney had to get admitted into a mental health facility. All details of it were unavailable but Britney told her fans on Instagram that all is well:
“All is well. My family has been going through a lot of stress and anxiety lately, so I just needed time to deal.”
Britney’s fans are not happy that she has to be under a conservator care. Hence they started the #FreeBritney movement. They have accused her father and others of trying to control her life and also cheat on her.
“All these conspiracy theorists don’t know anything. I have to report every nickel and dime spent to the court every year. How the hell would I steal something? … I love my daughter.”
James also said that her fans have issued death threats to him and his family. Britney had also confirmed on them last year April.
