Key Takeaway
During settlement negotiations, Britney Spears’ lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, allegedly referred to himself as the “King of Entertainment Litigation” in a heated conversation with Jamie Spears’ attorney, Alex Weingarten. Weingarten claims that Rosengart demanded $7 million in legal fees or threatened to file new lawsuits against Jamie and others.
According to Weingarten, the exchange became heated after he challenged Rosengart’s assertions about Jamie authorizing illegal surveillance of Britney and warned him about the statute of limitations. In response, Rosengart allegedly shouted about being the “King of Entertainment Litigation.”
Weingarten maintains that he told Rosengart he was wasting his client’s money by pursuing these claims. He also states that Rosengart refused to settle and demanded $7 million to cover his legal fees, threatening to file new lawsuits against Jamie and others if his demand was not met.
“Britney’s lawyer has wasted over $7 million of her money on nothing,” Weingarten commented.
Recently, it was reported that Rosengart is now seeking to settle with Jamie, but according to Weingarten, it is too late. He claims that Rosengart waited too long and the statute of limitations for the alleged illegal surveillance has expired.
Weingarten also accuses Rosengart of fighting against the release of documents, suggesting that they may be embarrassing to him personally and detrimental to his client’s allegations.
Rosengart, in response, criticizes Weingarten as a known bully and accuses him of making false representations throughout the case. He states that Weingarten’s actions aim to bully and harass Britney Spears, and dismisses Weingarten’s statements as knowingly false and ridiculous.
