Jamie Spears, now, broke his silence over the #FreeBritney movement that has been circulating online, claiming her daughter, Britney Spears, has no freedom. The 68-year-old patriarch is "sick and tired" of the accusations against him, as fans seem to portray him as a villain in his child's life.
As noted by Page Six, the father-of-three told The Post that the online campaign is a "joke." As he said, making him look like a "cruel opportunistic father" by, allegedly, controlling Britney financially and emotionally through the legal conservatorship is only a conspiracy theory.
Jamie insisted that people do not know anything, adding that the world has no clue about it. The conservatorship has been running for 12 years and he said it is now up to California court to decide what is really best for the 38-year-old pop star.
He was, also, angry at the accusations that he is "skimming money off" the singer-songwriter's estate. He angrily denied the long-standing rumors. He explained he had to report every "nickel and dime" reduced from Britney's money to the court every year.
Hence, he asked the accusers how he could possibly steal something that is legally guarded. Despite the rumors, Jamie revealed that what bothers him the most is the "aggressiveness of the #FreeBritney supporters."
Allegedly, fans are stalking and targeting people with death threats. Jamie finds the whole thing "horrible" and says they do not need those kinds of supporters.
He, then, admitted that he loves Britney and all his kids. However, this issue is their own business, and it is very private for them.
According to Us Weekly, fans started the #FreeBritney online movement as they believed Jamie is holding Britney against her will with the conservatorship. Bryan Spears, her brother, revealed in an interview on As Not Seen on TV podcast that his sister has wanted to be out of the legal concept.
Bryan understands that it is very frustrating to have a conservatorship. He explains that whether it is imposed in "peace to help" or because of an attitude, it is frustrating enough to have someone to always remind Britney what to do. He, also, acknowledged that fans might have felt like the hitmaker is being "confined or held against her will," but he could not speak for them.
Britney's sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, also, came out on defense of the Princess of Pop after a follower questioned the latter's alleged "obvious mental illness" on Instagram. She said that this person had no right to assume anything about her sibling, although she also knew that she could not speak about her health and personal matters.
Jamie Lynn then commended Britney for being a "strong, badass, and unstoppable woman," which were the only noticeable things about her. Jamie put Britney under conservatorship after her public meltdown and a stint at the UCLA Medical Center's psychiatric ward in 2008.
