# Britney Fired Management Group Cuts Contract By Bianca | Published 2007-09-18 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/britney-spears-fired References: [news.bbc](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7000218.stm) One month after being picked up by a new management group, The Firm, Britney Spears has been fired. "We have terminated our professional relationship with Britney Spears," The Firm confirmed. "We believe she is enormously talented, but current circumstances have prevented us from properly doing our job." Trend Hunter has been covering her string of faux-pas, so it comes as no surprise to us -- she's been walking a tight rope. Ironically, Spears has been trying to make a comeback, and her performance at the [MTV Music Awards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-mtv-video-music-awards) was supposed to kick off the launch. Her [new album](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-life-of-a-showgirl) will still debut on November 13. You better believe she still has fans though.
