Britney Spears attacks her father: “Control my life for 13 years”

During a court hearing, US pop star Britney Spears launched a violent attack on her father saying that she “abuses” his tutelage and has been controlling his life for 13 years. The BBC reports. Spears said her father controls her “100,000 percent,” that he denied her the right to have more children and that he made her take a psychotropic drug, lithium, against her will. The pop star’s father, Jamie Spears, took over his daughter’s guardianship in 2008 by court order, after the singer was hospitalized over mental health concerns. The pop star said she was traumatized and cried every day. “I just want my life back,” said the singer. Los Angeles Supreme Court Justice Brenda Penny thanked Spears for her “brave” words, but she didn’t say anything. “I want to end this protection without being judged,” Spears told the judges in a 20-minute video link speech. “I deserve to have a life, I’ve worked my whole life. I deserve to have a two or three year break,” she stressed. Spears, a mother of two, said she wanted to marry her boyfriend and have another baby. , but his father wouldn’t let him. She also said that she had been given lithium, a common medicine for bipolar disorder, against her will, and it made her feel drunk and unable to converse. “This guardianship is doing me a lot more harm than good,” Spears said, adding, “I’m not happy, I can’t sleep. I’m so angry and cry every day.” Jamie Spears temporarily stepped down as her daughter’s guardian in 2019 for health reasons – and the pop star has demanded that this resignation be permanent. According to reports from his lawyer, Jamie Spears would be troubled by the accusations of the singer in court: “He is sorry to see his daughter suffer and suffer so much – explained the lawyer in a statement read in court – Mr. Spears loves his daughter and missing a lot “.
