The famous singer’s father says that guardianship saved his daughter’s life and that without it he would not have been able to see her two children again after her divorce
On September 30, 2021, the Britney Spears won her freedom after 13 years of strict guardianship by her father, James Spears. The court ruling confirmed what the #FreeBritney movement has been saying for years: that the singer’s father took advantage of his daughter’s 2008 psychiatric admission to take over her life and fortune.
It is worth noting that her property is valued at 60 million dollars. However, James Spears has a very different version of events.
In an interview with the “Daily Mail”, Spears’ father he says that guardianship saved his daughter’s life and that without it he would never have been able to see his two children again after her divorce. “For her protection, but also for the protection of the children, guardianship was a great tool. “Without her, I don’t think he would have gotten the kids back,” he said. Britney’s father has been the target of a lot of criticism regarding his daughter’s legal status, not only from the singer herself, but also from the #FreeBritney social movement, which has pushed for a change in public perception about the controversial custody, which he has described as “a joke fueled by conspiracy theorists”.
2007 was a difficult year for Britney, as she split from her then-husband, dancer Kevin Federline, after three years of marriage, with whom they had two children. She shaved her head, hit a photographer’s car with an umbrella and was hospitalized for substance abuse. She subsequently lost custody of her children after a period of joint custody with Federline, but in September 2019, her access was reduced to 30% after the minor children – Sean Preston, now 17, and Jayden James , 16 – accused her father of assaulting them when he was supposed to be in her care.
“I miss both boys so much,” said Britney Spears’ father. “You know, we were very, very close. It was at that age that you could start having fun with them. God makes things happen for a reason. I don’t know what that reason is, but it’s been a tough three years without them. The family sucks. All we can do is keep praying.”
The singer’s father also spoke about the insults and accusations he receives from his daughter on social media in recent months, describing them as harsh.
“All I can say is that most people have no idea what the truth is,” he said. “Her lawyer has no idea what the truth is. The media has not heard the truth. They have heard my daughter’s claims. I don’t mind taking this hit because I know it’s not true and because I don’t want to start something else and have my daughter end up going even deeper into the pit than she was.”
For her part, the singer used her year and a half of newfound freedom to record a song with Elton John, marry Iranian-American actor and model Sam Asghari, and travel the world.
Britney Spears remains at loggerheads with her father and is in the middle of a legal battle over the consequences of her guardianship, but also with her sister, brother and mother over their roles in the process. She is also, for now, estranged from her two children. “I just want him to get better mentally. When she gets well, I really want to see her again,” said one of her children.
