Celebrity Justice
Former Manager to Brit: Gimme More Money!

Posted Nov 1st 2007 6:02PM by TMZ Staff

Jonny Wright -- manager of such high-powered acts as Justin Timberlake, the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC -- is suing his most famous client, Britney Spears, claiming she hasn't forked over commissions owed him from when she was actually famous for her performing.
Read the lawsuit
Wright Entertainment Group (WEG) managed Spears until February 2003, but were supposed to keep receiving commissions until February 2008 for deals they negotiated on Brit's behalf. Now WEG claims, that Spears stopped paying in December 2006. Oops!

The lawsuit, filed in Florida by attorney Clay Townsend on Monday, alludes to Spears' erratic behavior of late, saying WEG made a concerted effort to work with "the various business managers hired and fired by Spears."

WEG is seeking unspecified damages and attorney fees.

6.

And this manager just happens to choose NOW to bring his lawsuit? She's been acting like she's been off the rails for a YEAR!

Britney is the butt of many jokes that she has set herself up for, but this guy would seem to be taking advantage of the position she is in with her legal battles right now.

What an opportune time to be "piling on". He's afraid of how much child support K-Fed is going to get and he wants to settle his before the babies' get theirs.

I'm not really liking this guy.......

12. I'm a big believer in the saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." I think Brit messed up, probably with a lot of encouragement from her new (now former) Federline husband, when she started making career management changes. Seems she fired all the people who managed her career and who made the decisions that made her a pop star and made her rich. In just 5 short years, from 1999 to 2004, she went from being a struggling wannabe to being a mega star at the top of the pop music heap. Then at the top of the heap she decided to "fix it" and it's been "broke' ever since.
