Celebrity Justice
Jamie's Lawyer Denies "Hostile Takeover"

Jamie SpearsAttorney Jeryll Cohen, who reps Jamie, submitted a declaration to the conservatorship commissioner, claiming Brit's divorce lawyers got it all wrong when they assumed Jamie was a control freak.

In the declaration, Cohen says Ron Rale, a high-powered lawyer at Trope and Trope, "accused Mr. Spears of attempting 'nothing more than a hostile takeover of our client for improper purposes.'"

Cohen says Jamie was looking "for the least ugly way to save this young woman's life, bring her back to her babies, and keep her safe from predators."

61. Before even knowing that Ron Rale is in this picture, this story reminded me so much of Anna Nicole's story. For those of you who are attacking her parents for "not being there," for her. Remember she is an adult and she was either influenced by this guy Sam or she made the decision herself. He is the lowest form of predator, where did he come from ? How did he get into this young woman's life ? He really does need to be investigated.

I just pray that this young girl who still has so much potential is giving this opportunity to recover a chance. It saddens me to watch what has been happening to her over the past year. I'm not a fan of Britney's, but from what I've seen of her, she is a sweet southern girl who is caught up in the Celebrity nightmare. Maybe having two babies one right after the other set off this illness. Hopefully she is getting the best care out there and will be well soon. My thoughts and prayers are with you Britney, and with your children and family.

62. this is just another reason for lawyer jokes. Here is a father trying to help his daughter and everything she has worked for. then you have the butt of every joke trying to say that a parent is trying to control his sick child. I don't know if these lawyers have kids or had parents one one time that love them but most of the world have this thing called unconditional love for their children and would die for them. Maybe I'm the crazy one but hey do you think that Jamie is looking out for someone he has unconditional love for?

64. Umm, I'm thinking it's probably a good thing that SOMEONE with control has finally stepped in. The pushovers haven't been working out so well! He's just a dad that is doing what a good parent would do when their child is helpless!

65. her parents were shut out. It's the drug control thing. You keep someone might loaded on drugs and their apt to do anything crazy. Yep, I believe she has been druged! I also believe K-fed is somehow involved. everyone must remember when he started dating Brit, we all (the world) took him as a snake. now he's biting back, very silently.

66. #12, How can you even make the statement you made? Are you a parent with a child that has a disability (bipolar)? You have no idea what youare talking about, it may seem like Mr. Spears and Mrs. Spears where in the background or on the sidelines what ever you want to call it, but Osama (remember the evil name) Lufti (uses a fake name of Sam) was drugging and blackmailing Britney and calling her names and humiliating her TURNING HER AGAINST HER PARENTS AND EVEYONE ELSE DECENT IN HER LIFE, So that he could steal from her which he has done. And what kind of and idiot is he to tell Mrs. Spears the things he did to Britney and NOT THINK SHE WOULD REACT TO THEM? sHE AND mR. sPEARS ARE BEING THE PARENTS THEY SHOULD BE AND ARE, they waited until it was proven that there daughter was not capable of caring for herself " BECAUSE UNFORTUNATELY THaT IS THE LAW" they had no rights because she is an adult. Do you think it doesn't hurt them that the whole world knows their daughter has the medical condition she has/ " OBVIOUSLY YOU AREN'T A PARENT, AND IF YOU ARE YOU SHOULD CHECK YOUR PARENTING SKILLS" (imagine the pain they have been going through because some idiot was telling their daughter horrible lies about them). Hopefully someday people will not act so justified and opinionated about people they have no clue about. And you may be thinking well you said things about me and you dn't know me. Well I am responding to your ignorance that you posted on thius sight.

67. I think someone should check into k-fed's friendly connections. The guy is a silent snake in the grass!

68. RON RALE is in the Trope & Trope firm ???????????? That is Howard k. Stern's buddy. This really is a repeat of Anna Nicole. WOW. Go Jamie fight for your family. Don't let these idiots seperate you like they did Vicky Lynn.

70. Ron Rale?!!!! Isn't he the lawyer who covered Howard Stern's ass. Guess he thought he had a new cash cow with Britney and Lufti was playing the part of Howard Stern. Ron Rale should be disbarred.

71. TMZ, you all are great at the getting to the truth. Now send your people out to investigate K-Fed. You may dig up dirt that could save her life!

Posted at 8:20AM on Feb 6th 2008 by Attilia The hun

72. Just remember one thing, these two guys did not come into Britney's life until her and K-Fed started their battle. Come on everyone, please see the big picture! k-Fed is a silent snake in the grass.

73. Keep anything/body Anna Nicole away from Britney...Ron Rale can suck a big one...he takes advantage of the incoherent.

74. Please don't use the word "babies" when referring to someones children. It sounds like white trash or 'hood talk. At least pretend you are writing to people with an education higher than the 4th grade.

75. Ron Rale??? Isn't he the same shady lawyer that fronted for Howard K. Stern in the Anna Nicole Smith case??
I see the same cast of characters here.
