Britney Spears does not want to make amends with her estranged father, Jamie Spears, despite his health taking a turn for the worse with a leg amputation, Page Six has exclusively learned.
Multiple insiders tell us that a report claiming that the Princess of Pop wants to reconcile with her disgraced dad are false.
TMZ reported Tuesday that sources said Britney, 42, has said she “misses” Jamie, 71, and has even contemplated sending him money at times to help him out.
The Grammy winner and her father have been unable to settle their disagreements over the alleged mismanagement of her finances amid her conservatorship in court, so the latter claim, in particular, seems unlikely.
Jamie’s own lawyer, Alex Weingarten, alleged in October that Britney’s attorney, Mathew Rosengart, has “refused” to settle their case until the retired business owner paid $7 million in legal fees; it would be peculiar if Britney was considering slipping her opponent money on the side despite her lawyer’s alleged demands.
Jamie should also not be strapped for cash as, according to court filings, he paid himself an estimated $6 million over the 13 years for his role as conservator.
Britney wrote in her bestselling memoir, “The Woman in Me,” that she resented the fact her father appeared to see her “as put on the earth for no other reason than to help their cash flow.”
We’re told the “Overprotected” singer, for her part, will “never forgive him for the abuses and trauma he caused.”
Aside from the money disputes, Britney also called out Jamie in her book for “repeatedly” telling her she looked fat and allegedly limiting her food intake to chicken and canned vegetables for two years.
She also slammed her “horrible” father for forcing her into rehab in 2014 with “crack and heroin addicts.”
And in one passage, Britney compared Jamie to a cult leader, claiming her family began to treat her at one point as if she were “beholden to him.”
Prior to the book’s release on Oct. 24, the “Oops! … I Did It Again” singer would also air her grievances online.
In November 2022, Britney wrote on Instagram that she wanted to send a “SPECIAL HAPPY f–k you” to Jamie because “not being a part of [his] slave treatment program” had changed her life.
The “Gimme More” singer first broke her silence on her father’s alleged abuse in a bombshell court testimony in June 2021 that ultimately helped kickstart the termination of her conservatorship.
“The book and her posts about detesting her father speak for themselves,” an insider tells Page Six.
We’re also told that Britney’s recent birthday celebration with her mother, Lynne Spears, is not any indication of the future holds with her father, as even a full reconciliation with Lynne is “a process.”
