In the docs filed asking to withdraw from the case, Bessemer said that Spears' bombshell testimony on June 23 made them reconsider.
"As a result of the conservatee’s testimony at the June 23 hearing, however, Petitioner has become aware that the Conservatee objects to the continuance of her Conservatorship and desires to terminate the conservatorship," said the docs. "Petitioner has heard the Conservatee and respects her wishes."
BRITNEY SPEARS' REQUEST TO REMOVE FATHER AS CONSERVATOR SHOT DOWN BY JUDGE

Bessemer was named as a co-conservator last year, but TMZ recently reported that the popstar's court-appointed attorney Sam Ingham had yet to file paperwork solidifying Bessemer's position.

Among several other claims, Spears alleged that the conservatorship is "abusive" and left her "traumatized." She claimed that she was once locked in a small Beverly Hills rehab center and is blocked from removing contraception from her body.
