Britney Spears is ‘scared of her dad’ James Spears who has been in control of her personal life and career since her public breakdown 12 years ago
Britney Spears ‘afraid of her father’ and will not perform if he’s in charge of her
Pop star Britney Spears is scared of her father and will not perform again while he has control over her career, a court has heard.
The claim was made as part of the US singer’s battle to prevent her dad James Spears continuing as her legal guardian.
He began the role 12 years ago after Britney’s public breakdown.
Her court-appointed lawyer Samuel Ingham told a judge: “My client has informed me she is afraid of her father.
“She will not perform again if her father is in charge of her career.”
Superior Court Judge Brenda Penny declined to remove James from the role but said she would consider future petitions. Mr Ingham said he would file one.
Britney, 38, put her musical career on hold in early 2019. The singer has gone from being in debt to being worth £45million while under James’ authority, his lawyer told the court in Los Angeles.
