As Britney and her dad Jamie\u2019s ongoing dispute continues, the singer will never be able to move on from the pain he caused her<\/p>\n

Britney and her dad Jamie are still at war<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been three years since Britney Spears\u2019 well-publicised conservatorship – which allowed her father to control her financial affairs and make decisions concerning her mental health – ended. But the warring between the singer and her father, Jamie Spears, is far from over.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Five months ago, Britney\u2019s legal team opposed 71-year-old Jamie\u2019s request for his daughter to pay his legal fees and hand over documents. Jamie has since accused the singer of using stalling tactics to draw out the trial over her discontinued conservatorship. Jamie – who lives with Britney\u2019s younger sister Jamie-Lynn in Louisiana – has a long-standing battle with alcoholism, which is believed to have caused his colon to rupture in 2018, plus he underwent a leg amputation last November, following an infection. Now a source says say that Britney, 42, will never forgive her dad, despite his ongoing health issues.<\/p>\n
The insider says, \u201cJamie is still trying to get more money out of her, he wants her to pay his legal fees and she\u2019s dead set against it. As far as she\u2019s concerned, he\u2019s taken more than enough from her and doesn\u2019t deserve another cent. It\u2019s sickening to her to think that she\u2019d have to hand him more money when he\u2019s already taken so much from him. And the fact that he\u2019s sick and trying to use his health problems to manipulate her isn\u2019t going to work.\u201d<\/p>\n
They add, \u201cHe kept her locked up and never had an ounce of sympathy for her. She\u2019ll never forgive him, in her eyes he\u2019s done nothing but abuse her and this ploy to get more money from her is just more abuse. She\u2019s made it clear she\u2019s going to fight back any way she can.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fact that he\u2019s in a rush to get this settled only makes her want to drag it out longer, even if it costs her more in lawyer fees so be it because she\u2019d rather give anyone but her dad money after all that he\u2019s done to her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following a series of public meltdowns in 2007, which saw Britney drive with a baby on her lap and get wheeled out of her Beverly Hills mansion on a stretcher before being sectioned in a mental health facility, Jamie was appointed sole conservator of Britney.\u00a0The guardianship gave Jamie full control of the singer\u2019s finances and all aspects of her personal life. As a result, Britney lost custody of her sons with ex husband Kevin Federline \u2013 Sean Preston, 19 and Jayden James, 16.<\/p>\n
Britney quickly objected to the arrangement and her father\u2019s role in it – which earned him $100k a year. She attempted to hire her own lawyer to advocate for her, but the courts ruled that she did not have the capacity to choose a lawyer. They instead gave her a court-appointed lawyer, Samuel D Ingham III.<\/p>\n
Then, in 2016, while Britney was performing her Las Vegas residency and releasing her ninth studio album, she told a court investigator that those involved in the conservatorship had made her perform while sick with a fever and that her security team and assistant held her credit card and used it whenever they wanted.<\/p>\n
Despite this, the arrangement continued for years, but it took a dramatic turn in June 2021, when Britney requested she be allowed to speak publicly.<\/p>\n

Britney has accused Jamie of making her work to earn money for himself during the conservatorship<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
She told a court that the guardianship was “abusive” and that she felt “bullied” as she claimed to have been forced to go on tour as well as ordered to take the drug lithium. She also told the court that her father had her admitted to a mental health facility against her will. She claimed that her boyfriend at the time wasn\u2019t allowed to drive her in his car and that she was barred from removing her birth control. She pleaded with the judge that she \u201cjust wanted her life back\u201d.<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cMy dad and anyone involved in this conservatorship… They should be in jail. The control [he] had over someone as powerful as me… He loved the control to hurt his own daughter.\u201d<\/p>\n
Finally, in November 2021, a judge approved the termination of the conservatorship after 14 years. Subsequently, Jamie filed a petition for Britney to pay his legal fees and expenses. But he\u2019s accusing his daughter of using stall tactics – including an upcoming mediation meeting due to take place in June – to draw out the case.<\/p>\n
He indicated that he and Britney were unlikely to resolve their issues after spending more than two years without coming to an agreement. The insider says there is no going back for relations between Britney and her dad, which continues to \u2018traumatise\u2019 her all these years later.<\/p>\n

\u201cJamie is claiming he doesn\u2019t have the money or the stomach for any more legal arguments with Britney, it\u2019s already drained his savings dry and he says he needs the matter resolved in an open court as soon as physically possible. The judge has ordered him and Britney to sit for mediation in the meantime but as far as he\u2019s concerned that\u2019s just another waste of time that won\u2019t go anywhere. It\u2019s his total belief that Britney has delayed the process and kept it going as long as possible to cause him maximum pain, that she has no intention of compromising with him and all she wants for him to do is suffer.<\/p>\n
They add that he\u2019s not \u201ctotally wrong\u201d, but explain Britney is traumatised about their continual warring.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe actual reality of facing off with her Dad in court \u2013 which will almost certainly become a reality eventually \u2013 is something she\u2019ll find hugely traumatic, as and when it does finally happen. Having to look him in the eyes then get cross examined by his team – it\u2019s the stuff of absolute nightmares for her, since it\u2019ll bring all those awful memories flooding back, not to mention all the attention it will bring, and she\u2019s kind of buried her sand that it\u2019s a reality \u2013 hence why she\u2019s tried to delay the process for as long as she can.\u201d<\/p>\n
The insider adds that Britney won\u2019t change her mind about forgiving her dad as she sees him as the \u2018devil\u2019, despite the fact his health seeming to rapidly decline in the last few years. As well having multiple issues with his kidneys and colon, Jamie recently had to have his leg amputated after a serious infection.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re locked in limbo, basically, with this mediation looking like it\u2019s going to be fruitless as she\u2019s too stubborn and Jamie being put through the wringer whilst wracking up a ton more legal bills,\u201d they say.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis health is in very bad shape, the guy lost his leg not long ago and it\u2019s common knowledge he\u2019d do anything to patch things up with Britney. But she sees him as the Devil more or less, the fact he put her through that torture for much of her life is something she\u2019s not willing to forgive or ever forget, ever, end of story, no matter how ill he gets.<\/p>\n
\u201cJamie\u2019s still got some sympathy from some of Britney\u2019s family, her mom, sister and brother are all on talking terms with him and it pains them so much to see this fight raging on between him and Britney. But there\u2019s nothing anyone can do to snap her into forgiveness \u2013 let along writing her Dad any type of cheque, not until she\u2019s ordered to by a judge. And that\u2019s something she\u2019s provenly willing to fight every step of the way.\u201d<\/p>\n
