Britney Spears’ former assistant is weighing in on the pop star’s recent DUI arrest.
Speaking with Extra on Tuesday, Sean Phillip, Spears’ friend of two decades and former personal assistant, called the incident “suspicious.”
“I think there are some people out to get her,” he told the outlet. “And the timing is so off that she gets financial independence and then she’s arrested.”
Phillip appeared to be referring to Spears selling the rights to her music catalog to publisher Primary Wave last month. Variety also reported that she sold “an unclear number of other rights” in the $200 million deal.
“It’s a push to put her back in a conservatorship,” Phillip alleged. “Guess what happened when the conservatorship stopped? People stopped getting money.”
