Britney Spears’ mother forced her to end Jason Alexander’s marriage: lawyer

Britney Spears’ mother Lynn forced the singer to call off her 55-hour marriage to childhood friend Jason Alexander, says divorce attorney Mark Goldberg.

The now-retired attorney who advised Alexander says that neither the “Toxic” singer nor Alexander wanted to cancel the wedding, but that they were forced by Lynne Spears and Britney’s management team to do so.

“The mother was stepping in and getting herself into her daughter’s life,” Goldberg told the Daily Mail. “She came to Las Vegas, fired Jason, and gave him a plane ticket home.”

Goldberg says that when the young couple called Lynne Spears the morning after the wedding, “everything exploded.”

In January 2004, Spears married Alexander at A Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas. The vows were canceled 55 hours later by a petition stating that the performer “lacked an understanding of her actions”. The couple, both now 39, grew up together in a small town in Kentwood, Louisiana.

After the dissolution, Goldberg says, Alexander called him to seek legal help.

“Jason was looking for advice,” Goldberg recalled. “He was very emotional and upset. Britney called him to come to Las Vegas. She was there with my friends as I remember, and I paid for his next ticket.

“As I remember, it was Britney’s idea to get married. He said they didn’t drink or do drugs – or at least they weren’t drunk.”

Goldberg says he repeatedly asked Alexander if either of them was incapacitated by alcohol or drugs, but “it was clear, they weren’t…they really loved each other.”

He continued, “Jason was confused because he loved Britney and didn’t want to hurt her, but he was very afraid of her mother and her management.” “It wasn’t weird I just picked up. They’ve known each other for years. He thought if he played the game and did what they asked, he would come, and it would be him and Britney together.”

Goldberg noted, “I really believe that this particular event had a detrimental effect on Britney Spears’ life – the way it was controlled and the losses it took.”

Alexander’s version of what happened is remarkably similar to Goldberg’s account.

He recently appeared on the ‘Toxic: The Britney Spears Story’ podcast where he talked about the speedy marriage and confirmed that he had been tricked into signing an annulment.

“They told me if I was going to sign the contracts – cancel – they would let Britney and me continue our relationship, and if we felt the same way in six months they would grant us a proper marriage,” Alexander recalls. “So I had no reason to believe otherwise. I thought that was what the truth was. They were letting Britney and I carry on the phone call.”

“So we were talking every day and I still believed the story I was told,” he continued. “They’re going to let us keep talking and then we’ll have this marriage, right, in the future if we feel the same way.”

But Alexander says that exactly one month after the cancellation was signed, Spears’ phone mysteriously stopped working.

He said, “Literally the next day, say, 30 days had passed, I remember trying to call the number I had for Britney and it was like, ‘Beep, beep, beep (imitates the sound of disconnecting)’.” I’m like ‘F-k They got me!’ Motherf – kers! So that was it.”

Seven months later, Spears married dancer Kevin Federline. The couple had two sons, Sean, 15, and Jaden, 14, before Spears filed for divorce in 2006.

The “Crossroads” actress had a protracted legal battle with her father over his guardianship ruling, which she claims was “abusive.” Britney has hired a new attorney, Matthew Rosengart, to help end the guardianship.

Lynne Spears’ lawyer did not respond to comment.
