Briney Spears' manager Larry Rudolph resigns, says singer has been 'voicing intention to officially retire'

Britney Spears’ manager Larry Rudolph has resigned amid the controversy around the singer's conservatorship. In a letter addressed to Spears' conservators, father Jamie Spears and court-appointed Jodi Montogomery Rudolph, said it had been over two years since he last spoke with the singer, who had at that time expressed a desire to retire from the public eye.

"It has been over 2 1/2 years since Britney and I last communicated, at which time she informed me she wanted to take an indefinite work hiatus. Earlier today, I became aware that Britney had been voicing her intention to officially retire," stated the letter. Rudolph has managed Spears' career since the mid-1990s, writes Deadline.

Rudolph said that it's best he resign from Spears' team as his services will no longer be required.

Rudolph's resignation comes days after Bessemer Trust, a professional wealth management company that was appointed co-conservator Spears' finances, asked to resign from the role. Bessemer said this was "due to changed circumstances" when Spears' "claimed irreparable harm to her interests," writes E! Online.
