The letter alleges that Bunbury accessed Spears\u2019 private information without her consent and warns that the conduct may violate both state and federal law.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/shop?utm_source=yahoo&amp;utm_medium=syndication&amp;utm_campaign=shop2025\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere.

The former bodyguard was dismissed in August after allegedly violating a nondisclosure agreement by communicating with members of the media and with Spears fans. The alleged account intrusions reportedly began after he was fired.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Spears also experienced repeated issues accessing her accounts in the months that followed and was temporarily locked out several times. The singer\u2019s legal team now believes those problems may be connected to the alleged unauthorized access.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The new allegations add another chapter to an already difficult period for Spears. Earlier this month, the singer made headlines after being arrested on suspicion of DUI in California. Spears was later released, and her representatives said she would cooperate fully with the legal process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/pop-culture\/a\/bernadette-giacomazzo\/britney-spears-ex-husband-arrest-reaction\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:In the aftermath of that incident, ex-husband Sam Asghari publicly defended Spears and urged people to give her privacy, saying that \u201ceverybody makes mistakes.\u201d;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;In the aftermath of that incident, ex-husband Sam Asghari publicly defended Spears and urged people to give her privacy, saying that \u201ceverybody makes mistakes.\u201d&quot;}\">In the aftermath of that incident, ex-husband Sam Asghari publicly defended Spears and urged people to give her privacy, saying that \u201ceverybody makes mistakes.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Spears has also spent much of the last several years speaking publicly about issues of control, privacy, and access to her personal life following the end of her conservatorship in 2021. The legal arrangement, which lasted more than a decade, gave others authority over many aspects of her finances and day-to-day decisions.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\">Related News<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"ct:story;elm:img;itc:0;\" class=\"stretched-box\" href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/pop-culture\/a\/bernadette-giacomazzo\/did-britney-spears-adopt-a-baby-meet-lennon-london-spears\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"relative\"><\/div>\n<p><\/a><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p><span>Did Britney Spears Adopt a Baby?
