There have been various twists and turns in Britney's conservatorship story - and now her former manager is denying any involvement in it.
Lou Taylor has denied allegations that they bugged her bedroom and controlled her medications, while she was under the conservatorship.
The statement, which People magazine obtained, also denied controlling how Britney used her electronic communications, including her mobile phone.
Britney Spears had been under a long-running conservatorship, put in place by her father, since 2007— which restricted her medical and financial freedom.

The pop icon’s private world has come under intense scrutiny over the last eighteen months, with mounting details of her bitter legal battle with her father making headlines on a daily rotation. The ongoing dispute, now 13 years old, has been widely covered by both the media and the public—prompting several investigative documentaries and even a worldwide social movement to ‘Free Britney’.
Britney’s father stepped down as conservator in September, in a colossal win for the superstar’s pursuit of freedom.
However, just last week - Britney added fuel to the fire by claiming that it was her mother, Lynne Spears, who came up with the idea for the guardianship.
In a since-deleted Instagram post, the 39-year-old superstar accused her mom, when she wrote: "Psssss my dad may have started the conservatorship 13 years ago ... but what people don't know is that my mom is the one who gave him the idea !!!! I will never get those years back ... she secretly ruined my life," she wrote."
