Britney Spears Reportedly Still Resents Her Father

“Britney will never forgive him,” the source said, adding that she has “a lot of resentment there that she can’t move past.” The source also said Spears occasionally speaks with her mother, Lynne, but has “lingering trust issues.” Spears has discussed the effects of her 13-year conservatorship, which ended in 2021, and the alleged harm she says she experienced from family members.

Weeks before the report, Spears criticized her sister Jamie Lynn in an Instagram post, according to The Blast. She said Jamie Lynn had not let her hold her daughter, Ivy, during visits in Louisiana amid COVID, and alleged that her former husband, Kevin Federline, would not let her use the bathroom when she collected their children. In 2021, Spears also objected to Jamie Lynn performing her songs at the Radio Disney Music Awards, writing that her “so-called support system hurt me deeply.”

Spears made further allegations in her 2023 memoir, The Woman in Me. She wrote that her father and his colleagues controlled her body and finances, and described being told to grow her hair out, get in shape, go to bed early and take prescribed medication. Her family has previously faced public criticism from Spears, including after several relatives and her son Sean Preston spent Christmas in Louisiana with Lynne.
