The ground beneath Britney Spears' conservatorship has been shaking since the legendary pop music artist recounted the last 14 years of her life, and the trauma she's endured in the process.

This time, it's Spears' court-appointed conservator who is making headlines. On Wednesday, Jodi Montgomery asked the court to allow Spears' conservatorship estate to pay for 24/7 security and protection at her personal home.

According to TMZ, Montgomery has been receiving death threats on social media, over text message, and via phone.

In the motion, Variety reported that Spears wants Montgomery to remain in her conservator role for the time being, calling her "my person" in a text message thread also shared with the court.

"Since Ms. Spears has requested that Petitioner retain her position as conservator, Petitioner has no intention of abandoning her by resigning because of these threats," Montgomery's lawyer wrote.

An estimated security cost was attached to the motion, citing protection would cost around $25,000 every two weeks.

It wasn't just Montgomery who spoke to the court, either. On Tuesday, the pop star's mother, Lynn Spears, filed a motion with the court.

In the motion, she asked them to "listen to the wishes of her daughter" in letting her select her own personal attorney to guide her through the possible termination of her conservatorship.

On June 23, Spears provided chilling testimony to shine light on her utter hatred for the conservatorship she's been in for 14 years.

Since then, stars have sounded off sharing their support of the "free Britney" movement, while those who might have had a hand in the debacle began to resign at a rapid pace.
