Leigh Ann, a relation of troubled American singer Britney Spears has claimed that her father, Jamie Spears ‘caged’ the music star in conservatorship.
Britney Spears’ aunt who called the singer’s dad Jamie ‘barbaric’ opened up on her true feelings about the singer being placed in Jamie’s conservatorship in 2008, after the pop star had a mental breakdown.
She said: ‘He’s [Jamie’s] barbaric. Who gets to do that to someone? She was just manipulated and used. And he wants to say he protected her? He caged her.
“He swooped in at the perfect moment, when she was at her most vulnerable, to take control.”
She went on to say that his treatment of his daughter could lead to legal repercussions, saying: “I don’t know if he could be prosecuted for anything, but he needs to be held accountable.’
Leigh Ann claimed that rather than protecting his daughter, Jamie ‘benefitted’ from controlling the pop star and her estate, saying: “I don’t think he was the hero. I think that he manipulated the situation and that he has benefitted from the situation for over a decade.
“I don’t know what anyone could have done. I know this – if Lynn [Spears, Britney’s mum] could have done anything, she would have,” she added.
