Los Angeles, California - Britney Spears’ first manager, who scored her a six-album deal at the age of 16 and was reinstated into the gig when her father took over, has resigned, claiming the pop star intends to retire from performing.

Larry Rudolph filed his formal resignation to Spears’ father, Jamie, and her co-conservator, Jodi Montgomery, on Monday.

He was first introduced to Britney when she was 13, and helped secure her first record deal with Jive Records two years later.

He said he now hadn’t spoken to the 39-year-old singer in two-and-a half years, when she went on an "indefinite work hiatus" in 2019 after suspending her Las Vegas residency due to her father’s health issues.

"Earlier today, I became aware that Britney had been voicing her intention to officially retire," Rudolph wrote in the letter, obtained by Deadline.

"As her manager, I believe it is in Britney’s best interest for me to resign from her team as my professional services are no longer needed," he added.

Rudolph’s resignation follows Bessemer Trust, the wealth management firm that was set to become co-conservator of Britney’s estate alongside her father, which has requested to pull out the conservatorship, according to a court document filed on Thursday. On the same day, a judge denied an earlier request to have the firm instated as Britney's "sole conservator" without her father.

New reports have also swirled that her court appointed lawyer, Sam Ingham III, will also file a motion this week to be removed as her representation.

Britney's camp jumping ship comes less than two weeks after Spears spoke out about her "abusive" conservatorship, under which her father and various lawyers have had complete control of her life, allegedly dictating her boyfriends, her medication, and even her birth control.

Britney told the judge in late June that she has wanted to take a break from working.

"I deserve to have a life. I’ve worked my whole life. I deserve to have a two to three year break and just, you know, do what I want to do. But I do feel like there is a crutch here. And I feel open and I’m okay to talk to you today about it. But I wish I could stay with you on the phone forever, because when I get off the phone with you, all of a sudden all I hear all these nos – no, no, no," the star said.

She continued: "And then all of a sudden I get I feel ganged up on and I feel bullied and I feel left out and alone. And I’m tired of feeling alone. I deserve to have the same rights as anybody does, by having a child, a family, any of those things, and more so."

Rudolph, who also manages top acts like Aerosmith, insisted that he played no part in Spears’ conservatorship, despite a report from the New Yorker that Jamie Spears himself reinstated him as the singer’s music manager ahead of her 2009 Circus tour.

"I will always be incredibly proud of what we accomplished over our 25 years together," Rudolph wrote in his resignation letter.

"I wish Britney all the health and happiness in the world, and I’ll be there for her if she ever needs me again, just as I always have been," he said.
