Short news 🌍
Britney Spears got a new guardian
Britney Spears is one of the most famous singers of all time and unfortunately her 2007 meltdown made her more famous. She lost control not only over herself, but also over her life and money too. This was the reason why her father was assigned as a legal guardian, which means that Britney was treated as an underage. Her money and life were controlled by her father, but now there is a change, since her father's health started to deteriorate. Now, Britney has a new guardian, who is Jodi Montgomery, her manager. Some speculated why this change happened, because many people thought that Britney lived as a prisoner for long time and maybe it is in connection with the recent change, but nobody knows the truth. One thing is for sure, there are more people to help Britney and we hope everything will be alright with her.
words:
famous - everybody knows that person
unfortunately - not luckily
meltdown - a disastrous collapse or breakdown
reason - a cause, explanation, or justification for an action or event
guardian - a person who protects others
legal guardian - a person who takes care of a child
underage - too young to engage legally in a particular activity, especially drinking alcohol
deteriorate - getting worse and worse
prisoner - people who cannot leave the prison
