A Louisiana district court judge ruled in favor of Britney Spears’ mom, Lynne Spears, and her two friends in their legal battle against publicist Jacob Diamond, Radar reports.
Diamond has now been warned that he could be held in contempt of court or jailed if he continues publishing defamatory claims online, according to a new report.
Britney Spears’ mom Lynne told the court that Diamond is fame-hungry and tricked his way into their “small social circle” in 2019 in order to get close to the pop star.
Diamond was previously blocked from coming within 100 yards of Lynne’s home and prohibited from publishing details of their friendship, yet he carried on with sharing private texts, videos and allegations pertaining to the pop star’s mother, Daily Mail revealed.
Britney Spears’ mom Lynne filed her lawsuit with pals and fellow plaintiffs Jansen Fitz and Tatum Solis, applying for a restraining order against her ex-confidante in Oct. 2023.
She said they met in 2019 but when the friendship took a nosedive last year, Diamond allegedly “began to act erratically and aggressively,” using their “names and images” in ‘”demeaning and defamatory” social media posts that left the trio fearing for their safety.
In a court filing, Lynne claimed Diamond’s campaign of harassment proceeded despite the temporary restraining order, providing 21 exhibits from his Instagram account to prove her point.
One of which featured claims that Lynne was too broke to buy her grandchildren presents.
