Exposing Jamie Spears, the man controlling Britney Spears for over 12 years - a FREE BRITNEY thread

Since 2008, Britney Spears has been under a conservatorship by her father Jamies Spears, an extreme legal measure normally used to care for the extremely disabled. This gives him the power to control Britney's finances and daily life. FREE BRITNEY

Jamie Spears controls everything. Who Britney can see, where she can go, what she can eat. Whether she can have kids or get married. Her fortune and finances. Whether Britney can drive a car or use a phone. These are the powers given to him by the conservatorship. FREE BRITNEY

So who is Jamie Spears, the man controlling Britney's life? FREE BRITNEY

Ever since Britney was a child, Jamies Spears was an alcoholic and abusive. That's the picture that is painted in Lynne Spears' book "Through the Storm." FREE BRITNEY

Britney was not born into a stable home. In fact, her uncle Willie saw an incident where Jamie was drunk and tried to drive off with Britney in the car when she was 5 years old. FREE BRITNEY

By early 2008, Britney Spears was estranged from her father and was not speaking to him. In one instance, he showed up drunk, was not allowed into her home and got into a physical fight with her manager. FREE BRITNEY

That month, he was quietly planning for weeks to ask the court to put his daughter under a conservatorship and give him complete control, according to Lynne's book. FREE BRITNEY

And that's exactly what happened. One January 31st, they took Britney Spears from her home in an ambulance that included a motorcade with helicopters. FREE BRITNEY

The next day, Jamie Spears had all the paperwork ready to put his daughter under a conservatorship, claiming without evidence that she had dementia. FREE BRITNEY

He also successfully petitioned the court to deny Britney notice of his planned conservatorship. FREE BRITNEY

And when Britney eventually hired a lawyer because she did not want her father in control of her finances, the court said she did not have the capacity to hire her own attorney and ejected him from the courtroom. FREE BRITNEY

Britney then left this voicemail to another attorney, where she claimed her father was threatening to take her kids away if she petitioned the court to terminate the conservatorship. FREE BRITNEY

Britney gave her friend Andrew Gallery this letter in 2008/2009 to read to her fans, where she tells her side of the story. She says she was "lied to" and "set up" and that her father is threatening to take her kids away. FREE BRITNEY https://twitter.com/heidiwood_status/1281794774916304896/video/1

Britney's cousin Alli Sims said Jamie Spears threatened her in 2008 not to answer the phone if Britney called or "something would happen" to her. FREE BRITNEY

When a fansite was questioning the conservatorship back in 2009, Britney Spears' father threatened to shut down the site and said he would "destroy your ass." FREE BRITNEY

Keep in mind, this whole time Britney is being put to work. She's releasing a new album, going on a World Tour and all the money she is making is being controlled by her dad. FREE BRITNEY

Britney's father built an ominous presence around her. For example, he would routinely drug test and fire her dancers if they would be a "bad influence" on her. FREE BRITNEY

In this text message exchange, Britney says her father physically hit her sister and she's scared for her and her children. FREE BRITNEY

Courtney Love also claimed that Britney Spears' dad "molested her" FREE BRITNEY

Things got really bad last year when Britney's father canceled her Domination Vegas residency citing his "health issues." But he was out and about soon after? FREE BRITNEY

According to this voicemail, Britney's dad actually put her into a mental health facility against her will. FREE BRITNEY

Britney Spears confirmed these allegations in court, and said her father was forcing her to take drugs. FREE BRITNEY

The hashtag #FreeBritney started trending online and Jamie Spears started suing fans who supported it.

Last fall, Jamie Spears was investigated for abusing one of Britney's kids. Both of her sons were given a 3-year restraining order against him. FREE BRITNEY

Because Jamie remains her conservator, Britney lost 50-50 visitation of her kids with Kevin Federline. FREE BRITNEY

One of Britney's sons even went on Instagram and called his grandpa a "dick" and said he can "go die." FREE BRITNEY

Clearly, with all this evidence, Jamie Spears should NOT be the person in control of Britney Spears or her finances. FREE BRITNEY

Please help us trend FREE BRITNEY ahead of her next court hearing on August 19th. And join the protest in Los Angeles next Wednesday if you can!
