Britney Spears Reportedly ‘Antagonized’ By Family To Reunite With Her Father

Pop star Britney Spears doesn’t seem to want to reunite with her father, Jamie Spears, who ran her conservatorship for 12 years. In her memoir, “The Woman In Me,” the “Toxic” singer shared an exhaustive list of reasons as to why she never got along with her father. However, following her DUI arrest, it seems that her family members are encouraging her to make amends.

On March 9, approximately a week after her DUI arrest, a Los Angeles associate who has regular contact with her friend group and her family, exclusively told Page Six that she is “antagonized” and “on edge” over the thought of inviting her father back into her life.

The insider revealed that Jamie “doesn’t want to remain disconnected from his daughter” any longer and wants “the chance to be able to talk with her and find some middle ground.” However, the Princess of Pop is apparently not ready to do so, even though her sons have had regular contact with their grandfather.

Britney shared two sons, Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19, with her ex-husband, Kevin Federline. The source said that her two boys are optimistic that Britney and her father will be able to make amends so that they can be a “united family.”

“Even the boys have gotten back into their grandad’s life after some tough times,” the insider revealed. “They would welcome a united family despite all the years of drama.”

However, the insider went on to say that Britney “is antagonized by the subject” of her father and would prefer not to discuss him at all.

“There is long-term hatred and loathing that may never be overcome,” the source shared. “Jamie puts Britney on edge, and her moods get deeply dark around the prospect of him being in her life … despite efforts by people in her life for some reunion.” They went on to say:

“That has increased in recent months with the boys being around more. There is a direct correlation between that stress and Britney turning to alcohol to numb that pain. Sadly, she will always view her father as a villain because of how she felt trapped and controlled within the conservatorship.”

“She hated having to adhere to regular doctor visits, therapy sessions, and medication plans. That is understandable for someone who is dealing with a bipolar condition,” the source added. “Obviously, a father overseeing the principle of that process is a tricky situation — not least emotionally — but her condition needed some medical supervision.”

Another source connected to the family told the publication that Jamie is “deeply hurt at how his daughter refuses to consider ever speaking to him again,” especially considering that he has “suffered with health severely in recent years.”

“He held out hope when his life seemed in a perilous state that his daughter would visit him,” the source said, acknowledging, “but that never happened.”

Although Jamie has often been villainized by the media, a family friend told the publication that “Jamie only ever wanted to keep his daughter alive, and also financially solvent, in that order.”

“Jamie has consistently told those around him that he remains proud that he did ’save Britney’s life,’ no matter how the public may feel,” the family friend added.
