Britney Spears was seen for the first time since settling her court battle with her father, Jamie Spears, and the outcome reportedly left the pop singer “furious.”
The Baby One More Time singer, 42, who has to pay Jamie’s $2 million legal bills while she gets nothing, was spotted earlier Thursday in the San Fernando Valley with her ex and criminal Paul Richard Soliz.
Both the artist and Soliz were seen trying to keep a low profile while sitting inside a Mercedes van on the side of a road, according to photos obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com.
While Paul sat behind the wheel, Britney sat in the passenger seat and was hunched over the red leather material.
At one point, the star, who was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a white blouse, lifted her tan heels over the dashboard and smashed the windshield on her side.

While Paul sat behind the wheel, Britney sat in the passenger seat and leaned back against the red leather material.

Britney held her smartphone in her hand while sporting a pair of white-framed sunglasses.
The singer’s former housekeeper also dressed in a blue plaid shirt as the couple prepared to leave for their next destination.
Earlier in February this year, the Toxic hitmaker shut down rumors that she was dating Paul in an Instagram video.
Alongside a video of the star showing off her dance skills, Spears wrote that she is a “hopeless romantic who understands that being single is amazing.”
At the time, a source reported Us weekly “Britney and Paul are definitely together,” adding, “He’s still in the picture.”
A separate source also claimed in the publication that the couple had taken short trips together to Santa Barbara and added that their former housekeeper also spends the night at their house.
‘She doesn’t like it when he leaves. (Britney) feels like he deserves more attention, but he has to be there for his kids.’
And last year in September, another source told DailyMail.com that Britney and Paul are not dating, but revealed that they had a “brief fling.”

The singer was most recently married to Sam Asghari, whom she married in 2022. However, in August 2023, the actor filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
“They had a brief fling after Sam left, but that was it,” the source told DailyMail.com.
‘Britney hooked up with him twice and, at the time, (she) didn’t know about his criminal past. She no longer has any communication with him.’
Notably, Paul has multiple felonies, according to court documents, including possession of a firearm in December 2022 when he was Britney’s employee.
Also in September 2023, Soliz was seen in San Fernando Superior Court after allegedly violating his probation.
Britney’s latest outing comes after she surprisingly settled her years-long legal battle with her father Jamie Spears and will end up paying his more than $2 million legal bills without getting anything in the process.
The singer calmly resolved her legal battle with her 71-year-old father according to TMZ on Friday, and is said to be furious over the matter.
According to the site, Jamie will not pay a cent and his daughter will pay his legal bills in what is said to be a surprising turn of events.
DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Spears and has yet to receive a response.
At the time, a source had informed Us Weekly that “Britney and Paul are definitely together,” adding, “He’s still in the picture.”
And last year in September, another source told DailyMail.com that Britney and Paul are not dating, but revealed that they had a “brief fling.”
TMZ insiders have claimed that Britney is said to be furious about the silent agreement. The publication reports that her sources said her attorney, Mathew Rosengart, had assured her that she had a strong case.
However, she will now have to pay her father Jamie’s legal bills, which are said to amount to more than $2 million.
TMZ also reports that Britney has paid her lawyer Rosengart more than $4 million and is in an even deeper financial hole over the case after the settlement.
In February, it seemed like their long-term legal battle was still underway after her conservatorship still continues years after the deal ended in 2021, with Jamie claiming at the time that it was Britney’s doing in new documents.
Jamie wrote in legal documents obtained Wednesday, February 7, by The Blast that her daughter has been using delay tactics to drag out the case.
He urged the judge overseeing the case not to grant a stay of the case, which could result in an extension that would postpone the start of the trial until a later date.
Britney, who claimed she was forced to give up her “freedom” to see her children while under conservatorship, is about to begin mediation sessions with her father later this month, and he suggests he is trying to delay the process until later. mediation, although she says it will likely be unsuccessful.
‘There is no reason to suspend any part of the case (as the Court recognized at the January 5, 2024 hearing) and there is certainly no basis to suspend the briefing or any other activity that in any way relates to the sentencing motion Jamie’s pending summary. for hearing on April 12, 2024,’ Spears’ legal team wrote in her latest filing.
He indicated that he and Britney were unlikely to resolve their issues after going more than two years without reaching an agreement.
The petition also emphasizes that Britney’s former guardian filed his Petition for Order Allowing and Approving Payment of Compensation to the Guardian and Conservator Attorneys and Reimbursement of Costs almost three years ago, in March 2021.
The petition was a request for Britney to pay her legal fees for the conservatorship battle, but so far the Toxic singer and her attorney Mathew Rosengart have resisted paying Jamie’s expenses.
Their petition is expected to be resolved when the trial begins in June of this year. Spears’ team continued in the filing by accusing Britney of “constantly (trying to) delay” the start of the trial.
They seemed to suggest that his legal team was filing frivolous motions, only to fail to follow through on them when the time came.
Although Jamie may want to simply conclude the trial, since the conservatorship has already ended for years, he also has financial incentives to avoid delays, since the bills for his expensive legal advisors will increase the longer the process lasts.
