Just when you think that Britney’s situation can’t get any worse, it does. In a recent interview with The New Yorker, Britney Spears‘ Mom, Lynn Spears spoke out about the conservatorship. In it she said that if any family members came in the room while she was on the phone she would have to hang up, which is pretty interesting considering the world knows just what is what now with their family situation thanks to Britney bravely speaking up to Judge Brenda Penney.
Britney’s Mom originally wanted to play the cards in her divorce by making Britney resent her Father for being overly strict but this went way overboard. She initially thought that the conservatorship would only last a few months, not 13 years, but she didn’t lift a finger to stop it.
Britney Spears’ living nightmare
In the beginning of the conservatorship, her Father would basically lord it over Lynn, saying that he was Britney Spears. How this didn’t alarm her Mom is beyond me, but if Lynn was benefiting from the conservatorship in any way the she probably thought speaking up would ruin her gravy train.
Still, it’s unsettling that a Mother would tell her grown daughter, “Obey Daddy and they’ll let you out.” Like she was some kind of trained wild animal kept in a circus somewhere. (Oh, that song has so much more nuance and cringiness now.)
Britney’s Father would also tell her horrible things like she was fat and a whore and a terrible Mom, things that a Father should never tell their daughter under any circumstances. Consider this from a psychological standpoint though, sometimes when a divorce happens (which it did for Jamie and Lynn in 2002) the custodial parent sometimes takes it out on the child who is most like the non-custodial parent.
In some cases that is the Dad but in this case, it looks like it might just be the Mom. Britney herself said that he felt powerful by controlling a person such as herself, and and since it looks like couldn’t control the Mom or punish her, this is the turn things took.
Jamie and Lynn’s parents marriage ended offically in 2002, but they had reconciled by 2010 and were spotted as a couple until 2014, come 2020 they were fully split-up and it looks like Britney’s Dad is living outside a storage unit that has a ton of Britney’s things in it which just begs the question of his own sanity, but I digress.
Still, you would think that this nightmare would have an end but it doesn’t… this is just the tip of the iceberg according to a lot of sources. Free Britney already! Stay tuned!!!
