Britney Spears CRACKS windshield of Mercedes G-Wagen while crouched in passenger seat before speeding off with felon ‘ex’ Paul Richard Soliz in LA – as ‘furious’ star is seen for FIRST time after shock legal settlement with dad Jamie

Britney Spears was seen for the first time since settling her lawsuit with father Jamie Spears, and the outcome is said to leave the pop singer ‘furious’.

The 42-year-old Baby One More Time singer – who has to pay Jamie’s legal bills of $2 million while she gets nothing – was spotted earlier on Thursday in the San Fernando Valley with ex and felon Paul Richard Soliz.

Both the artist and Soliz tried to keep a low profile as they sat in a Mercedes SUV on the side of the road, as seen in photos exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com.

While Paul sat in front of the wheel, Britney sat in the passenger seat and leaned back on the red leather fabric.

At one point, the star – who donned blue jeans and a white top – kicked her tan heels on the dashboard, breaking the windshield on her side.

Britney held her smartphone in her hand while also wearing white-rimmed sunglasses.

The singer’s former housekeeper also wore a blue plaid button-up as the couple prepared to drive to their next destination.

Earlier this year, in February, the Toxic hitmaker shut down rumors that she was dating Paul in an Instagram video.

In addition to the star showing off her dancing skills, Spears wrote that she is a “hopeless romantic who understands that being single is great.”

An insider had said this at the time We weekly that “Britney and Paul are definitely together,” while adding, “He’s still in the picture.”

A separate source also claimed to the publication that the couple has taken short trips to Santa Barbara together, adding that her former housekeeper also spends the night at her home.

‘She doesn’t like it when he leaves. [Britney] it feels like she deserves more attention, but he needs to be there for his kids.”

And last September, another insider told DailyMail.com that Britney and Paul are not dating, but revealed they had a “brief fling.”

The singer was last married to Sam Asghari, with whom she tied the knot 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 had contact with him twice and at that time… [she] knew nothing about his criminal past. She no longer has any communication with him.”

According to court documents, Paul specifically committed multiple crimes, including possessing a firearm in December 2022 while employed by Britney.

Also in September 2023, Soliz was seen in the San Fernando High Court after allegedly violating his probation.

Britney’s latest outing comes after she shockingly settled her years-long legal battle with father Jamie Spears and will ultimately have to pay his legal bills of more than $2 million, while getting nothing in return.

According to her, the singer has quietly resolved her legal battle with her 71-year-old father TMZ on Friday, and she is said to be furious about the issue.

According to the site, Jamie is not paying a dime and his daughter is paying his legal bills, which would be a stunning turn of events.

DailyMail.com has reached out to Spears’ representatives and has yet to hear back.

TMZ insiders claim that Britney would be furious about the quiet settlement. The publication reports that their sources said her lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, had assured her she had a solid case.

However, she will now have to pay her father Jamie’s legal bills, which are reportedly over $2 million.

TMZ also reports that Britney paid her lawyer Rosengart more than a whopping $4 million and is in an even bigger financial hole over the case after the settlement.

In February, it appeared their legal battle would continue for a long time, as the aftermath of her conservatorship continues to linger, years after the arrangement ended in 2021 — and Jamie claimed in new documents at the time that Britney did so.

Jamie wrote in legal documents obtained by The Blast on Wednesday, February 7, that his daughter used tactics to resolve the case.

He urged the judge overseeing the case not to adjourn the case, which could lead to a continuation of the case, delaying 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 set to begin mediation sessions with her father later this month, and he suggests she tries the matter out postpone until later. the mediation, even though he says it will probably be fruitless.

‘There is no basis for staying any part of the case (as the Court recognized at the January 5, 2024 hearing) and there is certainly no basis for staying the briefing or any other activity in any way related to Jamie’s pending summary proceedings. for hearing on April 12, 2024,” Spears’ legal team wrote in their latest filing.

He indicated that he and Britney were unlikely to resolve their issues after spending more than two years without an agreement.

The petition also highlights that Britney’s former conservator filed his petition to authorize and approve the payment of compensation to Conservator and Lawyers for Conservatives and Reimbursement of Costs almost three years ago, in March 2021.

The petition was a request for Britney to pay his legal fees due to the conservatorship battle, but so far the Toxic singer and her attorney Mathew Rosengart have resisted paying Jamie’s costs.

His petition is expected to be resolved when the trial begins in June this year. Spears’ team continued filing by accusing Britney of being ‘consistent’ [trying] to delay the start of the process.

They seemed to suggest that her legal team filed frivolous motions but failed to act on them when the time came.

While Jamie may simply want to complete the process since the conservatorship has been over for years, he also has financial incentives to avoid delays, as his bills on expensive legal counsel will increase the longer the proceedings take.
