The #FreeBritney movement and the documentary “Framing Britney Spears” have managed to bring about a change in the public narrative around the pop princess , who has gone from openly mocking the nervous breakdown she suffered in 2007 to wonder if she wasn’t treated unfairly by both the rest of the world and her circle of trust, and more specifically, if as of today it is necessary for her to continue to be subject to legal guardianship.
In this context, his father Jamie Spears is being harshly criticized for his refusal to give up the position of legal guardian of the singer to someone else, even though that would be her daughter’s wish, and thus relinquish the control she still exerts over her professional career and personal life.
Certain sectors of the base of Britney fans consider him a selfish and tyrannical figure, which is how the aforementioned documentary portrays him in part, but his lawyer Vivian Thoreen insists that he only did what was best for the pop star at the time and to this day continues to try to protect her at all costs.
“I understand that all history needs a villain, but people are completely wrong ”, has now affirmed his legal representative in statements to ABC News . “He is a loving, dedicated and loyal father who saved his daughter from a highly dangerous situation. They were taking advantage of her and hurting her. Jamie saved his life. It was evident that Britney’s fortune was being managed in a negligent way and that some of the people around her were exploiting it on a financial level ”.
Jamie temporarily disassociated himself from handling Britney’s financial, bureaucratic and even personal issues at 2019 due to a series of health problems, but in the last oral hearing that took place a few weeks ago to update the terms of the guardianship it was determined that he would continue to lead it together with the management firm Bessemer Trust Company .
